‘Heads-Up’ PlayStation Store Update (7th January 2010)

482 0

So, it’s my first post of 2010, bye bye 2009 it was fun. What were your highlights of the year we’ve just left by the wayside? What are your resolutions for the coming year (apart from playing lots of games of course)?
Personally, I thought 2009 was a pretty good year for gaming, but I think from many aspects a lot of what made 2009 good for me (apart from the games actually released) were the glimpses, and promises, of what’s to come this year. Even though I didn’t manage to get there myself, I felt that E3 really cranked up the expectations of what is to come in 2010…I feel it could be a vintage year for the gaming industry (though I reserve the right to renege on this assumption this time next year, if I’m wrong).
As for my resolutions this year, I’ll be striving to help continue improving the store and the offering we make available to you all (that actually goes without saying really), I’ll try and interact with you all more than I have been thus far, and my final resolution is to get more platinum trophies!
To help us improve, this week could you do me a kindness in the comments section and provide your feedback/thoughts/requests for the store, what you’d like to see etc. I’ll be collating as much of this as possible/relevant and will try to address as much as I can in the future.
As for the content this week, the full list is below, I won’t keep blathering away, and I’ll let you get on with checking the list.
Cheers!
