‘Heads-Up’ PlayStation Store Update (20th August 2009)

Sturmurorurovik demo! Yaaay… I’ve been lookin’ forward to this ‘un

Very nice update Kebby
My download limit will be shredded (all 4 demo’s + press conference)

Hope you can keep up to this for the next few weeks.

How is GamesCom by the way? I would have come but I have to work :s

Wow! A fantastic update and a great way to top off Sony’s impressive showing at GamesCom.

The Dissidia demo is finally here (along with more themes), the surprise WET demo came out of nowhere, DiRT 2…

Give credit where credit is due: this is a great week for the PlayStation ‘verse. It really feels like GamesCom was the start of a new cycle for Sony.

The GT bonus sold me on the PSPgo (even though I already have a 2000), and I’ve also pre-ordered the new PS3 (I’ll pass on my “phat” PS3 to my brother, who may not be a gamer but will certainly be happy to have a good Blu-Ray player to complement his HDTV).

It’s a good thing work has been good to me lately, or my bank account would be begging for mercy right about now…

DiRT and Wet demos should keep me entertained for a while!

Nice update Mike, looking forward to testing Dirt 2.

Mike do you know if there is a demo planned for White Knight?

Id just like to say thanks for your time and effort , nice to see .

Wow Mikey baby, I think I love you

This is another fantastic update for us lovely PS3 gamers. Good work Sony !

It’s turning out to be a good week for all Sony/PS3 fans.

Thanks for the update, the pricing is still disappointing.

Thanks for the demos!

Thanks Mike for answering my question. Just another Question, with the FW3.0 update we are getting on September the 1st we are getting animated themes. Question is will be getting free ones via the PSN, paid only or both like we do now with the standard ones?

Keep up the good work man it seems like your the only who answers questions around here besides Jeff Rubenstein on the US PSBlog.

Mike will you be getting a new PS3, or sticking with the sleek sexy one!

hey mike any chance of wild arms for free?

Great update this week and FINALLY, some RPG’s! More of them please!

If I was in charge of uploading I’d sneakily upload MGS too It’d please so many people.

Nice update, bulk demos but I probably won’t get any.

Do you know when.. ugh what’s it called.. the pool game. Hustle something You know what I’m talkin’ about Mike! The new pool game.

Do you know when it’s released?

Yeah I’m too lazy to google the name.

No Zombie Apocalyse… very disappointing. I’ve been waiting for that game for months. Konami still lets us waiting… feeling so terrible…

Awesome update Mike! But please can you tell me if there´s going to be a demo for Heroes over Europe soon? I want a flight simulator and want to try IL2 (thanks for the demo) and HOE before buying

Lovely update, but you reeeeally need to get the GC Uncharted 2 trailer up there; I want to hold it and cuddle it.

wow, tell SE to realease the FFXIV alpha-demo that is playable at GC09!
j/k, nice update will keep me busy while I wait for Uncharted 2! (at least a cuple of days ^^;)

@Kebby, remember us from Aus and NZ are upside down from the UK, so you mean when we are stuck in a furnace .

The demos look great though. Will probably get the Dirt 2 one for sure, and it will depend on the size limit for the others. 20gb download a month doesn’t go far when there are demos to download .

Nice update, will psp owners be getting Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days?

Actually, the correct word is ‘whet’, not ‘wet’ when referring to appetite hehe

My appetite has been whetted for these demos, for sure!

Wow! NICE UPDATE!!!
I’ve always wanted to know what Mini Ninjas was like :]

P.S. Did you enjoy the Batman : AA Demo Mike? I loved it!

Awwww meanie

lol looks like next week it is then

After last week’s goings on, lets have a quick sneak peak at what’s coming up in this weeks exciting comments section…

Mike says: “… as with any console, developers will get more power out of it as it goes through its life-cycle”
MCV headline: “Sony manager: ‘PS3 slim to be discontinued – more powerful model to be released’”

Mike says: “I like working on the blog and PSN and always try to free up time for it”
VG247 headline: Sony exec says “All PSN games to be free!”

Mike says: “I played Halo and Gears of War on a friends console a couple of years ago”
Neogaf: “Sony CEO says that Halo and GoW will be PS3 exclusives!!! OMFG, lulz at xbots”

What other exclusives will you reveal this week Mike?

Great update! can’t wait for it, but I wish there was more trailers like for MGS Peace Walker.

& if you don’t mind could you tell me how much is the size for the WET & Mini Ninja demos? I would appreciate it.

that was a great update today!!! is there any chance that more rpgs will be added soon. i would love to see alundra and breath of fire on the store

Dirt 2! Yeah! Still won’t have enough money to buy it when its out cos of the recession, AND what money I DO have is going on Batman AA, Operation Flashpoint 2, Uncharted 2, Modren Warfare 2 & Gran Turismo 5 (hopefully!), but I’m looking forward to trying the demo for Dirt 2 and dreaming of when I can afford full game! Thanks for update Mike!

Think it’ll just be the Press Conference footage for me then! Might download WET but meh

Great update. Will be dling Dirt 2, WET and IL-2 demos. Guess we’ll have to wait next week for NHL 10 demo? Shame because that would have made this the best PSN update in a long time.

any chance for tomb raider 1 -5, alundra ,final fantasy 8 and 9 ,legacy of kain blood omen, koudelka or breath of fire 4,legend of dragoon and vagrent story. We need more ps1 games !!!!

@X201 (comment 74)

LOL Gold!

Great update. But I hoped we would get Tomb Raider today. Any news about that? Thx anyway!

Wordplay is good enough for me!

Great update this week, btw. I hope these demos are more polished than Juarez – I had random guns (not attached to arms) floating about my screen, and all sorts of bugs.

Mini Ninjas looks nice, and Wet will be interesting. Dirt I am not so bothered about, as I hear the DADDY of all racing games will be out before the end of the year (and what gorgeous shadows on the in-car view!!)

Oh and also – Where is Trine?

this week is really awesome from us PS users:
Lots of great news from Games Com, 4 demos, tons of add-on, videos, Dissidia FF Demo…
Thank you again Mike (and Sony, of course)

Ohhh Mini Ninjas…Failed to see that

Sorry for so many replie Good update Sir Kebby

@Mike 81,

I tried it a while ago, I thought it was more… sublemon…:D

OK, I’ll leave the jokes to Jem

This is a GOOD update… 4 demos, especially DiRT 2 and Mini Ninjas!

Also will be buying the new pin ball table! )

Wow Dirt 2, been dyig to try this baby,

Mike could you please tell us the sizes of the demos? Surely it can’t be that hard to put the sizes next to the demos?

cool, you’ve got the conference up, couldn’t find anywhere to watch it online and with the buffering and crashes i couldnt’ watch it in home.
thanks for that.
looking forward to trying the wet demo too.
great update this week, just a shame there’s still no bomberman.

Hi! Is the european Home going to be updated to version 1.3 like the nort american version??

Thanks

Oh, I’ll definitely give DiRT 2 a try – I rarely pass up the opportunity to try out a demo on PSN. It’s just personal taste that I’ve always favoured the tarmac track racing style (like Grid) over the rally kind.

As an aside, one thing that is really disappointing is the new BBC iPlayer icon in FW 3.0. It seems it’s just a shortcut link to the BBC iPlayer website, which is such a shame, as the playback isn’t anywhere near as good as it is on a PC, and I’d been hoping that it would be an app like VidZone, with the vids formatted to run perfectly on the PS3

I finally get my internet back last night after moving house and I’m welcomed to this bounty of treats!

Downloaded Fat Princess and Batman yesterday as well.

Great stuff!
Keep up the good work guys.

HOLD ON….

Wasn’t Smash Cars coming today?!

@92

Apparently BBC iPlayer has now been specially formatted for the PS3… so we could see better playback.

one quick question about the avatar game day trailer, it says released on the 21, does that mean ps3 owners are getting a sneaky early peak or will it be put up tomorrow?

Sweet, ill be getting the 4 demo`s plus the Street Fighter Pinball table
