‘Heads-Up’ PlayStation Store Update (5th November 2009)

can I suggest a ‘be nice to Mike K week’ this week.. he did warn us we’d only get a small update, and he does take a lot of unfair criticism…

The Command And Conquer titles would be fine if they weren’t over a gig in size, and you could actually save your game. But instead you’re stuck with an annoying password system… and the games run at double the speed of the PC originals, so tactics basically go out the window.

Syphon Filter Combat ops would be a better bet except nobody plays the damn thing so you won’t have any opponets.

Hey, I have a cold too! When’d you get it Mike? Also, I don’t think the update is too shabby, I like the amount of PSP content Are you guys still trying to get all the old PSP games on the store though?

Why did I buy a PSPgo?

I downloaded the GT Theme on 2nd October and I still don’t have Gran Turismo. SCEE have broken the terms of their offer. I feel robbed.

Oh and the usual MGS, FFVIII, SCEE neglects PAL consumers blah blah blah.

mike please tell us if their is any news on ff8 please?

and is this tuesday a ps1 classic update or just for ps3 users?

resident evil 2 out soon mike??

Thanks for the ‘heads up’ Mike. I know you don’t like to be the carier of this kinda of news but next week will be better I hope.

Party Time with Winnie the Pooh. Seriously? This is what you want PS3 owners to talk about to those thinking of getting a PS3? “Well among playing BluRays and PS3 games you can also play PSOne classics such as PartyTime with Winnie The Pooh”

Mike, i like you mate, i really do, but come ooooooooon!!! Its almost like your taking the mickey a little..

Dont get me wrong i knew this weeks update wont be anything to shout out about but god, please. PSOne deserves more then getting treated like this m8. Its wrong. PSOne started something revolutionary and how SCEE thank it is give us “Pooh” games… literally? omg.

thanks mike its not buzz is it as that was posted on the us blog for a tuesday release

is there any news on final fantasy 8? can we expect it before the end of november or by the end of the year? please answer if you can.

Decent update considering the circumstances, free stuff is always welcome! I actually might be tempted by Siren too (did I mention I love this new Special Offers system you have running now!)

I had to LOL at the Party Time with Winnie the Pooh PSOne Classic though! I’m sure you put those up just to wind up the complainers!!! They demand Resi Evil and FFVII and you post up The Little Mermaid and Winnie the Pooh!!! Hilarious!

Nice way to tease us with the bonus Tuesday update though! Can you narrow it down to PSP or PS3 related? Anything to do with the new Video Store? Mind you, whatever it is people will find a reason to complain.

@ Everyone else – We’ve know for a week this would be a limited update because of a behind closed doors upgrade of some kind so please [DELETED]!

P.S. Get well soon Mike!

First: I wish you to get well soon!

Second: When will the ‘I ♥ Mike Kebby’ and ‘Mike Kebby Fanclub’ T-shirts hit Playstation Home?

Hope you get well soon Mike.

Do you know if Ghostlight have submitted any dlc for Agarest by any chance? I won’t be offended if you’re not allowed to answer or you have no idea what the 2 are. XD

I cant reccomend super sonic acrobatic rocket (pause for breath) powered battle cars enough at £3.99. amazingly fun online which is still really busy after almost a year, free extra maps to download..

and if you like being scared [DELETED] whilst playing your games.. Siren is amazing, highly underrated imo

hey mike , when is dissidia or crisis core coming to the psn store ?

Nice price point for Dragoneer’s Aria. It’s got mixed reviews but for €15 I can afford to take a chance on what is an obscure RPG. €15 is pretty much the right price for non-mainstream games like this, hope more publishers see sense when pricing similar games.

Oh Mikeface forgot to ask.

I saw Jem at the Darksiders event last week (I was one of the lucky 10 that got to go) were you with him? there was a guy there but didn’t know if it was you… i was tempted to shout MIKEFACE but decided not to

Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars (epic name) is a no brainer at £3.99. I’ll be sure to pick that up; the trial was good fun.

Another good update on the whole this week.

Let’s not forget that there are some fantastic retail releases coming out within the next few days! R&C:ACiT is an awesome game and a must buy for fans of the series; it’s another fantastic title from the guys at Insomniac. Also, I hear that a little game called MW2 is out next week.

Thanks, and keep up the good work guys.

PES :/

PES???

Tuesdays content will be one if not more dynamic themes of Modern Warfare 2. Robert Bowling of Infinity Ward states ‘PS3 owners needn’t fret either: “we’re working on some Dynamic Themes for PS3 as well. I’ll be sure to post a preview when they’re going out,”.

Theres all the confirmation you need

Looking past the fact that i sold my PSP 2000 for less than it was worth. Ignore the fact that i got rid of my favourite games for it and have to re buy them. And see past the fact that i have to pay top money for PSP games that are cheaper elsewhere…….

….the fact is i cant even by PSP games for my PSP Go. What a shambles!!!! Looks to me like Sony are going to treat PSP games like nintendo treat Virtual Consoles titles, only worse.

Tuesday? Got to be something to do with Modern Warfare 2.

“Jem, let me edit my comments”

“Parity in the pits” Mr Klebby.

We should all be abl to edit our comments then wecould get rid of the speing mistakes.

OOOOOOO Mr Kebs thats making me more intrigued by what will be coming out on Tuesday then. Vid Store???

Fallout 3 DLC was not in the Portuguese store last week.

Yes finally my days of waiting are over. Lol Party time with Winnie the po. Yes finally Europeans are starting to get the Classic PS1 games we’ve wanted for oh so long. Thank you Mike and the team at SCEE. Keep up the good work lol.

a HD remake of the original Call of Duty, trophies included, perhaps…

I do get a code to download it for free with my hardened MW2 on tuesday..

Mike said; Also, whilst I understand that it’s great to have PSone Classics to play on the PS3, is that really the reason you bought a next generation console?

No this is why we bought a PSP along with a PS3.

Thanks for the update Mike. Go home and eat chicken soup and watch crap daytime TV. That will cheer you up to no end!

@Pro Evo guy – it comes out on the 6th November, at least on UMD, the store will be different.

I bought a PSP Go though to play PSP games. Pick one out of my head at random…………Valkyrie Profile:Lenneth……….an i buy this?

@ kap . totally agree with u m8 , mike im really starting to think scee are taking the mick out of us with the ps1 games ur putting up i mean last 6 or 7 ps1 games have been for KIDS . ps3 isnt a kids console m8 so what gives im losing all faith in scee now with store we plough money into it only to get kicked in the nuts everytime a ps1 game comes out . ps3 is a hardcore gamers machine with average age from 18 to 36 im sure i read . STOP BRINGING OUT KIDS GAMES CMON MAN. thats just put me right of spending on store now

Hi Mike

Is there any news on a Hustle Kings release date yet? I haven`t seen it submitted to ESRB so I`m guessing 2010 now.

Get well soon Mike.
I’m ill too
At least I get the day off college

is there any news on final fantasy 8? can we expect it before the end of november or by the end of the year? please answer if you can

wooow!! starwars batlefront at last!! I’m starting to see good things in the store, and… guys you should wait for christmas I’m sure, the psp Go will have more games…

Anything about Final Fantasy VIII release date?

hey mike

when will the fallout dlc be availble in the dutch store

Honestly, I was expecting much less O.o
Not because “I’m used to bla bla bla” but because of Mike’s warning.
I vote yes for the ‘be nice to Mike week’ but I think I’m always nice to Mike.

It’s also nice to see games below 40€ for a change. Too bad Star Wars broke the momentum… Will have to google around for Dragoneer’s Aria

Is Tuesday’s content Europe-only or it will also come on the same day for USA?

Aye, Fallout. Lets have it already.

always the same excuses m8 . could see point if last handful of games werent all kids 1s . we bought ps3s and psp mike nt a blooming WII

Mike,

Any chance of a blog on the details and difficulties of getting the old PSP games up on the store? A lot are available on the US store, but I would much rather buy then on the EU store if they would only give me the choice. Giving us poor users a run over of the difficulties involved would at least be a bone!

you have to admit the siren blood curse discount would have been perfect for halloween.

Hi Mike, really likely the weekly free Eyepet content at the moment.

Just wondering if you were going to do a release schedule for psp games coming out or a preview of which games our coming to the store? There’s a lot of great PSP games (little big planet, f1 2009, assassins creed, jak and daxter, invizimals) coming out but there doesn’t seem to be any information anywhere on when.

Thanks

is there any news on final fantasy 8? can we expect it before the end of november or by the end of the year? please answer if you can………….pleaseee

Mike can you please tell me when or if “football manager 2010 handheld” and “pro evolution soccer 2010″ will be available on the psp go?

I am a major football fan, and really looking forward to these games…!

lol yea mike we have an agenda we basically want games other regions have so we can BUY them off u . lmao m8 u should listen to your customers we want to buy this stuff u knw part with the MONEYS . agenda mike i knw ur unwell bt that was terrible wording

Mike,
I never realised you personally released all the content onto the store each week ???
That’s the impression I get from all the people putting the blame solely on you each week; when all you ever did was set up a “heads-up” to advise what was coming to the store each week!!
Me personally; I bought my PS3 for PS3 games and BluRays only … anything that appeared in store was just an added bonus.
The fact that people come here EVERY week and complain about the lack of PS1 classics is ridiculous… and they threaten to get rid of their PS3 because of the lack of old games!! You seriously need to wake up and get with the Next Generation!!
Mike, you are a good guy and you do a good job. Keep up the good work.

Mike i havent posted a comment in a little while. but im sorry your feeling unwell and hope you feel better.

im in agreement disney PSone classics… not for me. pretty much the free brutal legend pack is enough for me to give this a 5 star update. because we have it for free. xbox users have to pay points… free content is always the best. but also Ghostbusters PSP. for me this content isnt raining. its a slight drizzel with a glimmer of sunshine.

just out of intrest, i may have heard somthing about a battlefield bad company 2 exclusive beta for the PS3…. coming very very soon… could that be tuesdays content?

Crap update as usual with content for all the little crap games.

On another note; i find myself EXTREMELY annoyed on a little ‘feature’ that was introduced with 3.0. Namely the fading thing in the menus, where if you are scrolling through your music and stop on a song, all the other songs/albums fades away after 2 SECONDS! Jesus christ, who came up with this? Because of this you have to scroll constantly like a mental pasient just to get a glance at what music you have on the PS3. It’s stupid, it’s a bad idea. I refuse to believe i am the only one who finds this completely useless. I guess it was implemented to make the menus and the PS3 more ‘cool’ and ‘hip’. Well the only effect it has, is ruin the user experience!

Any news on the ‘Flow’ Trophy update for Euro land?

+ We need more old-skool games on PSN ;P Well i want them ;D
Games like – Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Scramble, Dig Dug, Galaxian, Bubble Bobble, Asteroids etc etc [Original Versions] ;P

WOOOOOOO WINNIE THE POOH !! ROCK ON !!
