‘Heads-Up’ PlayStation Store Update (15th October 2009)

will store be updated early mike to make up for last 4 weeks shambles lol.

Agree with 21.

By not putting how much you can save the Special Offers section is a little pointless, as it could be a mega bargain or 1p off.

I guess you have never worked in a shop at sale time Mike ?!

Aww mike thank god for that I was going to either buy motorstorm or wait today. Thankfully I didn’t arctic edge is breathtaking.

Whens the complete version of rock band unplugged coming?! see theres no real reason for a lack of songs for unplugged. Harmonix should relise that psp users want MOAR!!! than two every week

Since I just can’t swallow third parties implied don’t want to submit those games in EU for a quick cash in, or that they’re stuck in QA,here’s my theory

They’re going to give us the Big Deal of buying them through an import thingy for an abusive 9.99e each, probably a marketing idea, they’re just figuring out how to make it look like they’re not gagballing us, wanna bet?

Nice update. I’d have liked to have seen more PSP stuff, but hopefully that’ll come in time. PS, Mike, if you’re around, drop us an email…

Mike’s hiding because he’s just realised how small the PSP update is and the reaction .

If you’re out there Mike, at least tell us what Cover Girl actually is. I searched in Google and didn’t quite get the results I was looking for!

Might pick up Uno. I love that game with other people and a PS1 version I played was fun too (Japan only).

2nd week without a demo? Suppose all the big release are coming out within the next 2 months. At least we have UC2 to keep us busy!

It’s good seeing the Monster Hunter Freedom Unite deal continuing, and i think people may be tempted at that price. (Although i bought that one on UMD already!)

Lack of PSP games this week is pretty disappointing, but eh- maybe next week?

Does anybody know if anything will be done about the outrageous pricing of the NIS titles? 29.99EUR for Badman is borderline, but 39.99EUR for Prinny is just crazy!

nice update!
I’ll pick RE5 Versus pack and .deTuned.
What”s about the “Buzz Space quiz”?

where’s obscure the aftermath?

childs update this week to no good update

WOW that’s great update!!!, thanks SONY!!! lol

‘Heads-Up’ ‘Sniper Shot’ ‘Ooooops!’ ;D

I’m getting ‘WipEout:HD Fury’ on Blu-ray this or next week(UK) ;P

My condolences go out to everyone who spent £200/225 on a PSPgo. No decent PSP or PSone games avalable for the second week in a row since release. Pathetic.

Will detuned work with music CD’s?

Mike,

Please can you give an update on the Rock Band Track Packs that are STILL wrong??

Is the EU ever going to get it’s news ticker rolling? Nice update once again except for PSP go owners.

Supid board, here is tiny URL..

Hopefully it will link correctly.

Nice update. I’ll have the PJM Tiki guy dancing his way round my XMB in no time. That’s only for a few seconds though while I finding the Uncharted 2 game icon!!

Hey Mike,

Quick question. Is there any chance of an Import section on the PSN? This doesn’t really apply much anymore, since the PS3 is region free but there were a lot of great PS1 games that never got PAL releases (like Xenogears and Final Fantasy Tactics).

There’d probably be NTSC problems with ~20 year old tv’s but couldn’t there just be a warning beforehand.

Anyway, decent update, I might pick up detuned and Uno this week.

Cheers.

I asked about the prices earlier and if you really can do that it’d be really apprieciated, thanks mike, Your clearly made of the right stuff!

Heads Up Mikey, Cheers for the update news.

I gotta say really not feeling the love from Sony at the moment, where is the PSP go support, two weeks after launch and nothing in the update!

i’m 80% decided on ditching my psp now, i thought we’d get better support than this, if Smackdown 2010 and doesn’t appear next week i’m done with Sony and the PSP!

(Not ranting at Mike, just Sony)

To be honest it wouldn’t have mattered what the update was this week – I’m all about Uncharted 2 atm, what a stunningly amazing game, the single player mode blows you away! It’s better scripted, paced and acted than most recent Hollywood blockbusters and I love the ‘self-aware’ humour used. Also thank god for a splash of colour to give my HDTV a workout beyond the usual brown/grey pallet. As for the 7.1 Linear PCM soundtrack – wow!

Having said that I will pick up .detuned out of interest!

P.S. If you’re planning another ‘lock in’ Mr Kebby could you let me know, I missed all the fun last week as I didn’t check the blog again after I finished work – a midnight reply, what a legend! lol

I trust today’s update will be posted in good time though, to quote a former US President… “There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on… …shame on you. Fool me — You can’t get fooled again.”

Mike, do you remember that old “I saw this and thought of you” ad campaign that the Royal Mail used to have?

Well, after the events of last week…

I saw this and thought of you

http://tinyurl.com/2yt56e

Hmm, i guess you made a pretty good excuse there, Kebby :p

i Aint bought anything for 3 updates now

Mike i heard there was gonna be DLC for the new Dragonball Z game soon after release is that true?

Also Evils for you having uncharted >>

Hey Mike,

Will GTA Chinatown Wars be hitting the store next week? If so, will it be with the standard update on Thursday, or will it be added on Friday?

Thanks for any info

Wasn’t Smackdown vs Raw 2010 demo supposed to be available today?

Glad to see the .detuned love peeps.

Mike Kebby: Have you got to mess with it yet? I’ve seen plenty of vids and pics of it on one of the biggest demo resource sites out there: “pouet.net”. Basically you’ll sometimes see the guys who made .detuned floating about on there, “farbrausch”.

Can’t wait to mess with the “calodox” elephant head man!

WORD!

Thanks Mike, I’ll stay well away from Cover Girl then .

mike . hope you can pass this on m8 but anychance u could float idea of a playstation home dynamic theme as i took a screenshot with home camera and set it as wallpaper and it looked stunning but heres the catch , it actually makes you wanna use home more and was thinking a dynamic theme off home square with avatars walking abt would kinda bridge that gap a tad between home and the xmb . appreciate it if you could thanks

I take it we’re not getting Oddworld next week then Mike? Unless you just missed my question about it being locked for the 21st of October.

I was gonna order a £20 PSN card too >_< Before the RM strike…

.detuned might be an interesting lil quirky thing hopefully in the way Linger in Shadows was. I might get that. And yeah I’m a bit too busy playing Uncharted 2 since it arrived in my mail yesterday. Best game in a long, long time as far as I’m concerned and a true PS3 showcase.

Eh snarky ? Someone is in a bad mood.

taurus82: Seems a bit pointless tbh, as you can import cd’s directly to the PS3. But I suppose you could just wait and see.

I know there’s not a lot of content this week, but there are three games (and the WipEout bundle) does that really warrant a low post rating?

Not moaning, just asking (is not a post rating hound or anything, ahem).

@Scourgewood it’s just that the importing process (on my PS3) seems to cause skipping on some songs, which is probably the reason why the digital file created is a few seconds longer than CD.

No special offers on standalone PS3 games at all?
That’s pretty poor show guys.

What a horrid psn update…
I’m really dreading that I bought a psp go.
Where the hell are all the good RPGs that are already out on UMD: Final fantasy crisis core, tales of eternia, Disgaea, Jeanne D’arc ?

Really Sony … this sucks!

Sincerely,
One unhappy psp owner ( still without free GT !)

Nothing this week at all

More PSP content is needed! My Go NEEDS more games

@ MadmanButter. Yeah the Oddworld games would be great if they were on the PSN! Mike are they Coming??????

Oh btw, is there any chance we could have video previews of dynamic themes in future?
It’s tricky to decide whether to buy or not, without any idea of what we’re actually buying!

wow, 250 Euros for my PSPgo and I cant play Crisis Core on it… Thx

I’ll probably get .detuned and one of the Dynamic themes, must google first for a preview so i can decide.

Any word on when the trophies patch for Flow will be available in the eu?

Hi Mike, any news on when Um Jammer Lammy is coming out over here? It’s been out for two weeks in the US already…

Thanks!

To those people asking about things I haven’t commented on – If I don’t respond to some questions it’s because I either don’t have an answer, or cannot say anything. I have tried to be vague in the past about things, and have had my fingers burnt, so please don’t think I’m being ignorant, but even saying ‘no comment’ can be taken by some people as confirmation of things.

I have to be really careful sometimes, and on occasions it does mean avoiding those questions completely

No shop seems to list Wipeout HD on BD and it will be released the next days? Strange.

Will the BD need to be installed, and what size?

Hmm not very nice, where are PSP games ? oh a game for little girl.. why not…

“The range of content, and format, will vary from week to week, because of the launch of PSPgo we were concentrating on a few PSP titles for the moment (and PSone emaulations).”
Haha i loled…

Hi all. Thanks for the wonderful job with this blog! I just want to comment as a PSP go owner that I’m a bit worried about what to play when I finish Motorstorm. You’ll need to get more games up. Me personally would love some more RPG:s and Metal Gear. Please pass this on to whoever needs to know =)

Mike i’m ok but those Special Offers are up since the last week. :p
