PlayStation Store Update – 23rd July 2009

Yessssssssssssssssss
Crystal Defenders! Freaking awesome!
Best update ever!

Holy cow Shatter is CHEAP!

Shatter and KZ DLC for me this week

oh and crystal defenders has TROPHIES YO! (psnation fans know what i mean)

Good update this week, especially with the release of the KZ2 DLC.

Though I’ve got to ask, when will we be seeing the re-release of Spyro 2 on the EU Store? Any word would be greatly appreciated.

This is a terrible update… it has lots of content I want, but I don’t have the money at the moment for all of it.

RIPOFF!!!!
How about a discounted price for dlc3 for us loyalists who paid full whack for the 1st 2 dlc?

I am NOT going to buy the 3th pack full price. This is a kick in the face!

kinda good, but no mgs1 or resi. i tried to buy mgs1 in the american store but it wont accept my card. i no its not ur fault but maybe threatening konami with a gun will work

Great update, any truth in Fat Princess coming out next week?

As soon as there is information on them you will all be told. Promise.

B etter be some good news then! We’ve been waiting long.

I will just say i’m disappointed at the lack of PS1 games being added. Now I know you’re trying your hardest to get MGS1 and RE: DC and I appreciate that, but you could at least get some Sony published games up there. For example, you could finish collections and get up Sython Filter 2, Crash 2 (legal issues [DELETED]? 1, 3 and CTR are there), MediEvil 2, WipEout 2097, I could mention lots of others too.

Fury and KZ2 DLC3, must buy!

Truly awesome update.

I’ve been waiting for a map pack bundle before getting Killzone 2 and the WipEout Fury expansion is a must have.
Shatter and Crystal Defenders was a nice surprise, for me at least – I get rather impatient so I avoid reading about new games till they’re out.

Thanks SCEE.

Will the trailer for The Last Guardian ever be put on the Store or are they aiming to emulate th failure of Ico when it was first launched?

Awesome update – Mike, you da man!
Also, well done to Studio Liverpool for getting their awesome DLC for Wipeout delivered on time. I’m really looking forward to this when I get home.

finally Cristal defenders =) and Shatter looks cool two im going to buy Cristal defenders for sure and ill try Shatter demo first.. btw Mike i want to buy the Map Pack 2 for COD:WAW but i can’t found it on the Saudi Arabia store why? =( please answer Mike

My PSP is very sad, i have just a PSP, i hope when the PSP Go will be out, the PSP Store will be full of wonderful thing…

Great update but it still lacks Theme Park World, Blood Omen and Soul Reaver

Now if only I could unleash the fury without a credit card?!

Great update, I haven’t posted last week because well for one I had my exams, and for two there was nothing very interesting.

Today’s update has 3 pieces of content I really like: Shatter, Killzone maps and Wipeout Fury. However I’m not going to get any of them, because I’m still deep in Prototype. Probably get them after summer… along with FAT PRINCESS

This is my first post on this blog. I just wanted to congratulate Mike and the SCEE team for delivering a nice update and for maintaining a civil tone in the face of constant grief. There have been better and worse weeks, but things seem to be coming along — keep it up!

@ all the griefers out there who post the same complaints every week: Enough already! Trine/MGS/RE/your-favourite-game will be released when it’s released. The blog.eu crew will give you news when they can — I doubt they’re keeping quiet about something just to have a laugh.

@24: Actually, the KZ2 bundle is being sold in the US as a 3-for-2 deal, which is basically the same deal we’re getting.

@ general $-to-€ complaints: There’s absolutely no reason we should be charged a converted dollar price, so quit looking for a cheap deal. Floating currencies are supposed to be linked to the economic situation in a currency zone, which means we should end up paying the same amount relative to our earnings/standard-of-living. If the dollar was stronger than the euro, nobody would be willing to pay the same price as the US.

Thanks for the great update Mike!
Hope we get MGS1 soon!

BTW (By the way) next week, can you guys put up a pack for KZ2 that allows us to buy Flash and Thunder and Napalm and Cordite KZ2 map packs together cause I already bought Steel and Titanium.

Thanks Mike,

@Mike Kebby – heh. Nope, we’ve stopped with the rumoured Store Updates now – last week was the last. =D

Cool update

Really want Bomberman soon tho Hope that comes soon

Any word on the EchoChrome update for ps3 here in Europe? the US recently got a new trophy patch/webcam support and more.

I havn’t seen it surface here yet.

I am not mad that there is a bundle of KZ2 maps. I bought the first two knowing this was a possibility. What I am disgusted by is that the bundle is all 3 maps for the price of 2 release so soon. on the day of the 3rd new map being released. This is a hard lesson learned but thank you I will never buy dlc until it is bundle or on a sale or better free. If there was to be a bundle it should have come at the end of summer, so those prepared to buy them on release in advance would have the benefit of knowing the maps better than the late to the party guys. I think the real low ball still is how soon a bundle came out and the fact that the bundle includes the new maps. The perfect solution would have been a buy 2 get one half off, making the bundle price £11.99 then i dont think anyone would have cared.

Thank You for bringing us Shatter and WipEout Fury. The best PSN game and the best Expansion pack I have played in a long time. AWESOME STUFF!!!!
Very happy!

I’m glad I bought Shatter. Just had a go now and it’s excellent. It’s just beat Magic Ball to be my favorite Breakout clone since Arkanoid in the 80′s.

Good update

Since i didn’t last week, want to say thanks to Mike for asking and giving us info about Disgaea 3 last week Good to see you put effort in it, and even better to hear “there are DLCs on the way” even if you can’t give dates atm

Much appreciated

Great update Mike, and way to drum up hype for it in the opening few paragraphs of your update! Seems to have done the trick though as the comments seem much more positive this week, apart from the usual MGS questions!

I’m so glad they decided to do a KZ2 bundle, I’ll definitely be picking that up tonight. I think I’ll get Shatter too, I read an excellent interview with the developer by Dominique Louis (;)) over at 1UpGamers which made me want to buy it!

I do think you should put a little ‘P.S.’ at the bottom of the updates though to say where the likes of MGS and RE are up to and why they weren’t included, just to save you repeating yourself every week. I also think people that don’t read your replies should be banned from commenting!!!

Good look with the Wednesday blog update – you must be a sucker for punishment

P.S. I bet you’re looking forward to the Gamescom Press Conference on the 18th August, I’ve got a sneaky feeling some of the answers you’re not allowed to give about things like the Video Store will be revealed then… am I wrong?

Let’s see Crystal Defenders ~10 euros, Shatter 5,99 euros and Wipeout HD Fury pack ~10euros.

~26 euros, phew! Thanks for the slow weeks, now I can spend like an millionare!

Absolutely best update in ages, although I’m little disappointed at the PSP content, but hey! 3 PSN games, 3!

Awesome job SCEE, awesome job!

@kingofscotland and @mike kebby and @nofi
We’ll keep ours up over at PlayStation LifeStyle. More specifically, Sev will keep it up. It wore me out managing those lists. We generally put ours up a day or two in advance.

Speculation IS a hard thing to manage. We don’t update the rumored content threads after the content’s out – so you can see just how wrong we are each week haha

Will videos from ComicCon be included in next week’s update? Hopefully we’ll see some interviews here at least.

But time to try Crystal Defenders Demo now.

* I meant Good Luck obviously, curse this website’s lack of edit button!!!

Btw, quote and edit buttons would be nice in the future.

:O Apnomis beat me to it!

I was hoping for Bomberman today as there is nothing else im really looking forward too, however, I have seen that finally KL2 DLC has a bundle pack which is the same as buy 2 packs get 1 pack free

I am getitng those!

Cheers!

Better update, but considering the last 2/3 updates were DIRE it’s still mediocre. Killzone DLC is great, but as a previous post mentioned we’re getting screwed on the price so…..meh. Shatter looks ok, I guess. No classic PS1 games which is [DELETED] since last week it was [DELETED] Tarzan of all things.

Best thing = No LBP DLC!!!!! Have Media Molecule finally filled their oversized coffers, Mike?

I hope this weeks update is a precursor for a right belter of an update!

good update mike , konami are ignorant been mailing 4 ever they reply seldom with ‘ no info’ so good luck , mike my mate got rag doll kung foo free on u.s store ,i paid !!!! japan has a free game too no fair we dont get free stuff , why mike i had to pay whilst others get it free , give us freebies !! also clear this up for me , can i make & use a u.s account without getting in bother also if i buy from store with psn cards will they work or are they locked ta mike ps PINK FLOYD ON VIDZONE PLEEEEAAASSEE!!!!

First, good update! Tnx

But I have a few questions/complaints.

1. I love movies and live in Sweden. Why can’t I purchase movies from the US/EU PSN yet?

2. The PSX(one) catalogue is simply terrible. Why aren’t there more games? Will “In cold blood” be added? The thing is that PSOne games are getting harder and harder to find legally.

3. Why cant there be a united PSN store for US/EU? (the currency shouldn’t be a problem with an online store 2009)

Great work this week Sony, and Mike for replying to so many comments!

Downloading Fury, Shatter and Crystal Defenders – $40AUS worth! Ugh, so many games, please stop.. my wallet can’t handle it.

I’ve got a feeling we’ll get a couple of big announcements at Gamescon – including a LBP Portable announcement (we know it’s coming, it hasnt been confirmed yet has it?) and hopefully as others have said, a video store announcement. And perhaps some more on MAG?

Anyway, nice work. Time to play some games before I head to bed!

After completing ‘Splosion Man I immediately got Shatter and man these are some excellent DL games. Looking forward to games in the future!

Mike, When can we expect .detuned to be released?

What happened to your Silent Hill ps1, it was there and now it isnt.

Quite a good update, will be getting Crystal Defenders. Hopefully we get Namco Museum and MGS1 next week too.

By the way, any news on new avatars?

Damn, WipEout HD Fury, Killzone 2 Bundle Pack and Shatter! What a fantastic update!!

And Mike, two things:
1. Get a hold of any from MTV Games/EA, to ask why they aren’t releasing Rock Band: Unplugged on PSS? I want that game with my new PSP Go (which doesn’t take UMDs, incidentally).
2. Try to get someone from the developer of Castle Crasher on the blog, since they announced CC for PS3!

Always appreciate what you are doing and all the hits you manage to withstand from eager Playstationfans.

Hey Mike. Glad to see all the replies you’re giving. So a question for you. Any idea on if any new avatars are in the works? Or if custom avatars are in the works? The stock ones are getting kind of boring…

Does anyone know if there is a way to get Sony to refund money from an account cause I bought the first map pack for Killzone 2 and then they announced a bundle(Which I was raging about )

Nice update too

quite a good update, got wipeout fury, shatter and the new killzone 2 pack

any new avatars of such coming anytime soon? its just something that seems so dated and easy to do, but nothing is been done…

thanks

IF the whole putting the list up on a wednesday thing could still be an issue due to the content being changed on the day of publish, might it not be easier to just post up the list on a thursday still but just around midday, rather than waiting for the store to update around 4-6?

Good update though, I’m mighty tempted by the map pack bundle…..

Great update, some wicked DLC and a decent price for Shatter.

Mike – Any news on The Dark Mist update/dlc ever coming to SCEE?
