Games, demos, sale prices. A great, great week on the PSN
Wow is all I can say. I have no idea how anyone can have any complaints about this weeks update. New games...check, new demos...check, PSP downloadable game...check, tons of media...check. Oh wait, there are no PS1 classics and people will still moan about lack of trophy support and in-game music, I for one am very happy (and poor) as a result...

More content on the PSN then you could even shake a giant stick at!
I told myself I wouldn't do it, I wouldn't talk about Final Fantasy XIII, I wouldn't cry... *sigh*. Weird week on the PSN, as on top of a quite stellar update to the PSN on the usual day (Thursday), there were a number of updates as the week progressed during E3.We finally have a new PSN game in the form of Elefunk, a PS1 classic by the name of...

A GREAT day on the PSN! Updates! Add-ons! Demos! Videos!
Wow -- you wanted demos, you got demos! First we had the successful re-introduction of in-game XMB and Trophies and the sound of trophies and SSHD being played is dinging around the world.On the add-on front we have a FREE (I know) add-on for Rainbow Six Vegas 2, and the requisite Rock Band tracks. The demo section is HUGE this week with demos...

A substandard update especially considering the firmware issues Sony is going through.
Sigh, I know Sony just can't pull a magic rabbit out of their hat, but I was kind of hoping to see a really nice update (read: PS1 games, demos, PSN games) after the 2.40 snafu. All we really see are the new issues of Qore (looks great though and has the Naruto demo, glee!), a free Guitar Hero 3 track and the late Rock Band stuff.Of course we...

An average week on the PSN. Where are the games Sony?
Well, I suppose every week can't be a blockbuster. I am still peeved at the drought of PS1 classics considering the announcement that Einhander and XenoGears will be on the Japanese PSN. If they ever release Vagrant Story I may have to move to Japan...or something.Well it isn't a completely horrible week. I am loving this trend of FREE...

A meaty update this week with some great content.
Another great week on the good old PSN! We have downloadable games for the PSP and PS3 in the form of Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure and Fatal Inertia EX. We also have a slew of add-on content for Hot Shots Golf, Rock Band (of course) and Guitar Hero III. The great surprises are free content for The Incredible Hulk, Pain and the MGS4...

A good update on a week that none is needed! MGS4 for the win!
Apologies that this is late, I am losing track of everything as I devote all my time to playing the AMAZING Metal Gear Solid 4! I just discovered that you can set the game to send Codec messages to your Bluetooth headset so it is a more immersive experience! Awesome!Great week on the PSN, but I have to make this quick, MGS4 is waiting and calling...

A great week for PSN users with money to spend, games, demos, free stuff and Qore.
As I write this the new interactive video magazine PSN Qore has not been released yet, I am planning on buying at least one issue and reporting on it for everyone. In the meantime I guess our fears of no content are slightly unfounded!We have two new full games, the first is the PSN exclusive Novastrike an intriguing goal based overheard shooter. ...

A really poor update this week on the PSN, hope you like videos!
I am not even going to comment on the truly sad state that is this weeks PSN update. Absolutely awful and completely useless update. Japan got PS1 games (again) and we get trailers. If you like taking forever to download promotional material then you will love this week's update. If you wished you could give Sony money for anything aside...

A lackluster and barren update on the PSN...where are the games??
Another Thursday and yet again another underwhelming PSN update. No original PSN games, no PSOne games. All we get is The Con, a PSP game (that is very overpriced at 19.99) and two Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 2 demos for the PSP.On the Add-on front there are the formerly European exclusive Rock Band tracks added to the store, as well as a very...
