PS3 Playstation Store Updates Thread

[s1lence]

Thought I would update this


Flow is available for download, its like a micro organism game that you have to eat the other organisms.

Tekken 5 DR is now available for download for US users for the cool price of 19.95.

There have been a bunch of PS1 updates for the psp, but considering most people around here have hacked their PSP to play ps1 games anyway there isn't much of a point.

Wasn't Tekken 5 DR $14 USD when purchased through the Korean PS Store? I am not buying it anyway, I have Virtua Fighter 5

[s1lence]

You are correct, it was only 14 bucks with that download trick. Its another 6 bucks to get it in English though.

does anybody know what features are going to be included on the March update or have a link to a list of updates? I downloaded Flow and it is pretty cool. I may check out Tekken: DR but do you think its pointless if I just bought VF5?

edit: oh yeah, also the Ridge Racer 7 demo is also available.

According to Anthony1's post, a nice sounding update with a good amount of extra features and demos/videos may be coming on the 8th. Link here: http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97545

This is personal opinion of course, but Tekken is shit. Virtua Fighter 5 is just amazing, aside from the fact that it has no bleeping online play.

But hey, if you are a fan of Tekken, login to the Korean store and buy it for $14 and save yourself $6

Fighting games in general are kinda poo if you're not dedicated to them... IMO Tekken is much more enjoyable if you learn how to play it at high levels/have lots of competition for it... the same can be said for most fighting games.

And... today is the 7th... we should be expecting some new content soon.

[LiquidPolicenaut]

Well, it seems the PS3 got its update today...in the form of two added contents to the Playstation Store...A trailer for Casino Royale and the PSOne Wipeout for the PSP...wow, such a great update

Is it just me or is it every time I turn on my PS3 there is another update? `Maybe I'm just not playing it enough.

I suffer from the same syndrome. Every time I power up the PlayStation 3 it tells me I need an update which takes too long. So while I wait, I play some shooties on another console. By the time the update is done, I don't feel like playing PS3 anymore :9

Yeah. Me too.

I've heard the updates go much faster from a thumb drive, but frankly, I don't care enough to try it.

[s1lence]

Good I'm glad I wasn't the only person feeling that.

The constant updates are a major pain in the ass. From what I've heard, the d/l rates in Japan are fantastic since that's where the servers are. If Sony wants to fix things, they need to get some kind of set up here in the States. I wonder if Microsoft has dedicated Live Servers in Japan to address this same issue with the 360.

[mailman187666]

I heard eventually they are going to do away with that format and have something a little easier to browse with. I get excited with updates cuz all its doing is making the system better.

Also a bunch of new trailors and Wipeout for PSP is up. I'm thinking of passing on Teken DR cuz Virtua Fighter 5 is a better game IMO.

Im sure Sony will do it (if they havnt already) when PS Home gets out. Having hundreds of thousands of people in USA and Europa it would be too slow to have all these connected to servers in Japan only.

[LiquidPolicenaut]

Thought I'd let people know that Sony updated the store today. Up today are a demo of Def Jam (same one as the 360), some trailer/commercial for Resistance, and three movie trailers (Premonition, Shooter and Disturbia) and a behind-the-scenes video of Shooter.....

Wild ARMs 2 rated by ESRB for the PSN. Looks like another great game is being released. If Sony wasn't stupid they would try to push these games out in the US as fast as possible. Too late now though if you ask me, they already lost all the potential customers they could have gained by releasing all these games as soon as the system came out. Metal Gear Solid was rated earlier and FF7 is already out.

Going to the Wiki list of games that have been released. Holy crap there are a ton of games released in Japan for the PSN. Sony needs to get their heads out of their asses and instead of catering only to the Japanese, maybe cater to the people who are actually your biggest marketshare and the people you truly need to convince on buying the system.
