Sony has once again seen fit to update the American PC Store, while the Euro store goes without, yet again. Not a bad update, either. Two full games and an echochrome expansion, plus a smattering of themes and vids. If you haven't grabbed Logan's Shadow yet, this is a perfect opportunity. We did name it PSP game of the year 2007, after all. Here's the full release list:
Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow full PSP game ($24.99)
Following in the European Store's footsteps, two full PSP games have been placed on the American PC Store today. Not only that, but there's also a demo and a theme to grab. We recommend getting your paws on Puzzle Quest, as it's a great game to have on your memory stick "just in case," without taking up your UMD drive. Here's the full release list:
It's PSN update day, which (sometimes) means new downloadable content. Today Sony has plonked a couple of full PSP games onto the store for those of you who enjoy the Burnout series. If you're a PS3 owner you're probably already celebrating the Burnout Paradise trophy patch, or the opportunity to pick the game up off the PSN Store for the budget price of £25/€30. If not, then feel free to get your Burnout fix from one (of both) of these full PSP titles. Not a Burnout fan? Bad luck. Here's the full release list:
Europe's PC Store update was sadly non-existant today, but America actually has the first decent update in a little while. Two full games are available from D3 Publisher, following their announcement of releasing a decent number of games onto the PSN Store over the next few months. Here's the full list:
Cube full game($9.99)
PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient full game ($9.99)
The American PC Store has been updated to include the full PSP title Field Commander. So if you're in the impulse buying mood, you can go ahead and pay the $14.99. It's online shopping and it arrives almost immediately. Depending on your internet connection, obviously. Only one other thing was added to the US PC Store today; a developer walkthrough for the upcoming Lucasarts title Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. That's free, in case you're wondering.
Wallpapers! You like them? Good, because that's all your getting in your PC Store update today. Not just one, not just two, not just (ok, that's enough - Ed). Nine entire wallpapers are now available, for your downloading pleasure. That's nine whole images, that Sony has uploaded to the store. How's that for a quality update?
Don't get too excited. There's nothing of any real interest in today's PC Store update. That is, unless you're into managing your PSP's content via a handy PC application. The Media Manager (version 2.5, no less) is now available for free on the European PC Store and lets you drag and drop content from your PC to your PSP, previewing as you go. Oh, there's also the next episode of Movement. Here's the info in handy list form:
Media Manager 2.5 (free)
Movement episode 5, part 2 -- "London" (free, includes 8 videos)
Street Fighter Alpha is the gem at the top of today's rather pathetic pile of treasure. Unless you're a fan of themes and wallpapers, that's actually all that will interest you. It could definitely be worse though; of all the PS1 games that could've been chosen, Street Fighter Alpha's definitely not one to moan about. Here's the full release list:
You like PS1 games, right? We hope so, because you've got two to choose between in today's PC Store update. Apart from that there's not a lot else, so if you're not a retro nut, be sure to look away now. Classic old school driving mayhem, or classic old school ... sheep mayhem? Take your pick. Here's the release list:
Sheep PS1 game (£3.49/€4.99)
Driver PS1 game (£3.49/€4.99)
Buzz! Master Quiz "Portable Party" TV advert (free)
Have you heard about Secret Agent Clank? You probably have. The Ratchet & Clank spin off came out about a month ago in Europe, but if you haven't picked it up yet now's a perfect time to try it for free. A demo has been made available for you fence-sitters on the PC Store today, along with a trailer for the game and part 2 of episode 3 of Movement. That's all there is to today's update; short and sweet. Here's the info in a handy list form:
Nothing too special this week. Another platinum title hits the store in the form of Gangs Of London, but other than that there's nothing new that's playable. Another Echochrome trailer might push you over the edge, if you've still not grabbed it yet and the PSN exclusive music show Movement continues plodding through Europe. Here's the list:
The PC Store has been updated today with a nice selection of videos straight from Sony's E3 Press Conference. Along with the first third of the Press Conference itself, you'll find some montage videos showing upcoming PS3 and PSN games. Here's the full release list:
Yeah! It's E3! Time for a special E3 PC Store update! Check out all of these awesome trailers from the Sony Press Conference. Oh wait ... Yeah, it looks like SCEE wasn't informed about E3, but a new episode of Movement is available. That's kind of cool, right? We'd rather have a Resistance Retribution trailer. Here's the full release list: Videos
It's an endearing feature to have, knowing you could have tons of movies and television shows at your finger tips. There's no need to go to the local video store (seriously, who does this anymore?) or even wait on those movies to arrive from mail-based rentals. However, we still have many questions regarding this new content for the PS Store.
We wonder if the PS Store is really ready to handle this kind of transaction and will it be easy to use? To help answer these questions, we gave the new video service a try and have presented a mini-walkthrough that'll hopefully give some insight into getting started with the new service.
Couldn't get enough of Sony's press conference? Then perhaps you'd like to download the trailers to most of the notable game that were on display today? You can download off the PC store trailers for PSP games like Resistance: Retribution, Buzz PSP, ... and, uh, that looks to be about it on that list down below. The rest appear to be all PS3 games. No matter. If for some reason you can't download the Resistance trailer, or just simply don't want to, you can always watch that very same trailer embedded above. Video Content:
