PSN Thursday: Fat Princess gains weight, Joystiq loses writer
by Jem Alexander { Jul 30th 2009 at 5:00PM }
Just another American PSN update today. A little better than normal updates perhaps, thanks to the inclusion of Fat Princess, but it's also a red letter day. As I'll be moving on next week, it's the last time this blogger will be handling the weekly PSN updates -- both American and European -- after over two years. Wow, updates were different back then.
Don't worry, though, you'll be in the safe hands of Alexander Sliwinski, who I took over this very post from back when Joystiq underwent restructuring in January. Anyway, what are you still doing here? You've got weighty princesses to rescue!

European PSN releases for July 30
by Jem Alexander { Jul 29th 2009 at 11:30AM }
Do not adjust your computer internet monitor screens! Yes, today is Wednesday. We know, it's confusing, but you'd best get used to it. SCEE intends on giving us a head's up on the week's PSN content drop a day ahead of release from now on, allowing us 24 hours to get our wallets prepped. This week we're sure you've got your sights firmly set on Fat Princess, but there's also the second episode of Watchmen: The End is Nigh, a Numblast demo and a couple of full PSP titles. Not to mention all the usual rhythm-game DLC for both PS3 and PSP.

PSN Thursday: Comic-Con Edition
by Jem Alexander { Jul 23rd 2009 at 8:10PM }
Yeah, the PSN update's a little late today. You can blame Comic-Con Craziness for that, but the sheer amount of content should be enough to calm you down, now that it's out. As if Killzone 2 and WipEout HD DLC wasn't enough, Shatter sees a release today, alongside some PS1 games. As for PSP owners, you've got two Tomb Raider games to grab. Not to mention that Dissidia demo and some more Rock Band Unplugged DLC.

European PSN releases for July 23
by Jem Alexander { Jul 23rd 2009 at 1:45PM }
There's plenty of content to nom on in this latest PSN update. WipEout HD Fury and the Killzone 2 pack make up for the fact that there's no LittleBigPlanet DLC this week. Not only that, but Shatter is now available and has been joined by a surprise addition in the form of Final Fantasy: Crystal Defenders. PSP owners have much less content to choose from, and if you don't own Rock Band Unplugged or Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce, there's nothing for you here.

European PSN releases for July 9
by Jem Alexander { Jul 9th 2009 at 12:45PM }
Battlefield 1943 is obviously the big news this week, but there are also a few demos that might also keep you entertained, namely Ghostbusters and Fuel. Not only that, but there's a load of DLC for MotorStorm Pacific Rift, Skate 2 and the usual rhythm games. PSP owners have a bumper crop of games to pick from, plus some more Rock Band Unplugged DLC.

PSN Thursday: The Punisher will shock you to your Qore
by Jem Alexander { Jul 2nd 2009 at 5:00PM }
The American PSN update today isn't quite as interesting as the European one, but it's still got an okay amount of content. Punisher: No Mercy has been released, alongside the latest episode of Qore and the normal amount of DLC. PSP fans can choose from a selection of new games, including Capcom Classics Collection Remixed. There are also some more PS3 and PSP themes and some Rock Band Unplugged DLC.

European PSN releases for July 2
by Jem Alexander { Jul 2nd 2009 at 3:00PM }
Okay Sony, we forgive you for the last couple of weeks. Today's PSN update is chock full of content, with particular emphasis on downloadable games. Punisher and Topatoi are joined by James Pond 2 and Numblast, plus a demo for Red Baron. There's also the usual amount of DLC for those rhythm games you kids love so much, along with a new MotorStorm Pacific Rift expansion.
PSP owners can grab Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, a PSP version of Numblast and some other games, but if none take your fancy at least there's some new Rock Band Unplugged DLC.

by Jem Alexander { Jun 25th 2009 at 5:15PM }

Droplitz emerges alongside a new PS1 game -- Mobile Light Force -- and some DLC for High Velocity Bowling, LittleBigPlanet and Cuboid. There's also a BIGS 2 demo and PSP fans can grab one of four full games, or some DLC for Rock Band Unplugged.

European PSN releases for June 25
by Jem Alexander { Jun 25th 2009 at 12:40PM }
There's not a whole lot of new content this week, but better than last, at least. Another PopCap game makes its way across the Atlantic today, in the form of Zuma. There's also the delayed Summer Solstice LittleBigPlanet DLC alongside the Jon Burgerman sticker pack, and PSP fans can grab Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and some Rock Band Unplugged DLC. Finally, to celebrate the two-year anniversary of the release of Super Stardust HD, the price for the game has been dropped to just £1.59. Go get!
Oh, also -- Final Fantasy VII has been fixed and re-released in France. Just thought you might like to know.

PSN Thursday: MGS1 infiltrates the PSOne Classics' ranks
by Jem Alexander { Jun 18th 2009 at 5:32PM }
Similarly to the European PSN Store update, this week's content is a little lean.
But what's this? Solid Snake infiltrates the store in his original PS1 adventure, Metal Gear Solid. Yours for the premium PS1 price of $9.99. Sure you can probably find a cheaper copy in a bargain bin somewhere, but really you're paying for the ability to play this classic on your PSP. Anywhere. Other than that, there's a new episode of Qore and an NCAA Football 10 demo. PSP owners can grab GRAW 2 and some themes, too.

PSN Thursday: There's a DLC party and you're invited
by Jem Alexander { Jun 11th 2009 at 6:30PM }
So VidZone doesn't work in the US -- we checked -- but American PSN users will be able to feast on some content that Europeans didn't get hold on, as payback. In particular, PopCap's Heavy Weapon, the release of Bomberman ULTRA and another new PS1 game, Medal of Honor Underground. Of course, there's also the same amount of crazy DLC for Killzone 2, Burnout Paradise, LittleBigPlanet and World At War. PSP fans can also pick up a digital copy of Hot Shots Open Tee 2.

PSN Friday: E3 lag edition
by Jem Alexander { Jun 5th 2009 at 6:45PM }
What's that you say? It's Friday? Yeah, we've been a bit busy with E3, hence the release of the PSN update post a day late. Plus, it took us forever and a day to type up the ridiculous amount of content that's been dropped, including over twenty videos, three PS1 games, two full PSN games and two demos. Not to mention the usual DLC. Enjoy!
