The Official Playstation Network Download Updates Thread

[chrisbid]

sony produced USB memory card readers for the PS3 when it was launched. they ran about 15 dollars. system updates since then now allow this device to use memory cards directly with games rather than simply transfer information between memory cards and the hard drive.

if you want to try FFVIII with the pocket station, i cant see why this wouldnt work

88. Dirt Jockey
89. Populous: The Beginning
90. Sim Theme Park

Looks like we got some life simulation games this time.

Dirt Jockey reeks of awesomeness.

[Graham Mitchell]

Anybody have any experience with this version of Populous?

by default they are remapped to analog stick left and analog stick right, but according to Kupomogli you can change them.

Can I trouble you for some more info?

I tried a Google search, but I couldn't find any reviews - just a couple of bad-quality YouTube vids.

I really liked Blast Corps on the N64 and this looks like it might be similar.

Like Rick said, they are on the analog and yeah you can remap them any way you want by hitting the Home button on the PSP. The PSX games you purchase can also be used on the PS3 as well.

Hey, that's great news for me, thanks! I'll look into that... now if they'd only let me watch Hulu, I'd be one happy camper...

Grandia for 9.99.

Easily one of my favorite games on the PSX. The game is faily cheap, if you're interested in picking the game up for 9.99, you should pick it up on Ebay for the same or not much more.

I'd recommend this over all others on the PSN except Wild ARMs 1 and 2.

[Vlcice]

Kupo, are you sure it usually sells for that? I just checked the completed listings on eBay, and average selling price is between $30 and $55 USD. The only copy sold in the $10 range recently was someone who put it up with a BIN, so it could well have ended for more.

Grandia for 9.99.

Wait, what? I must have missed it, was it released this week?

Man, Grandia is a classic. The battle system is easily one of if not the best ever created.

[MarioMania]

Will Street Fighter Alpha 3 come out for the PSN??

[Rickstilwell1]

Updated master list. Grandia was a good game that I only played a demo of yet.

they sure release things in weird order don't they? Still no Gex 2. Of course they had a big delay for Syphon Filter 2 so I'm not surprised.

Guess I was off. Just checked completed listings. Prior to this I saw them selling for fairly cheap when searching for a mint condition Grandia Xtreme on Ebay.

Sorry.

Has anything been released the past month? Hope PSOne releases aren't slowing down almost as soon as they started to pick up pace.

[DDCecil]

One (as in the game title) was added on 3/18, and Perfect Weapon (ick) got added yesterday. Can't remember if there was anything released between Grandia and One.

I haven't had much spare time lately. I just now updated the list:

3/17/2010
95. Jigsaw Madness
96. One

3/24/2010
97. Perfect Weapon

but yes it seems they had released a lot during the holiday season and then slowed down some.

[Rickstilwell1]

And we're at the 99th release. I hope we get something special for number 100 and not just another generic racing game.

[Mimi Nakamura]

Compare $5.99 for a PS1 game to the bullshit $5.00 Nintendo charges for a VC NES game.

I understand what you're saying, but you have to remember that the process required for making the games available for download are the same. If anything, it's bullshit that Sony are charging more for the same amount of labour.

Are there any visual differences between Psone disc games played on the PS3 versus Psone games downloaded through the PSN Store?

Do purchased games look better?

Yes, they look better in terms of resolution. Comparing the digital and hard copies of Thunder Force V or R-Type Delta highlight the differences quite well. The improvement to Thunder Force V is quite dramatic!
