Upcoming PS Store Content Dated & Priced
[Update: well, the MotorStorm and Resistance updates won’t be coming today after all. 
]
What have we to look forward to on the PS Store this month? Well tonight we should get the Resistance update which includes global servers, removal of Chimera v Chimera matches, expanded XMB support (?), the ability to report cheaters and have an online moderator monitor said cheaters.
The two new maps should also be available for purchase from the PS Store or from the game itself for $7.99 (for both?) and Euros 4.49, although I don’t know if it’s 4.49 per map or for both.
Go! Puzzle should arrive June 14th in North America followed by the MotorStorm updates (June 15th?), a Lair demo and the arrival of Super Stardust HD, all later this month on the NA PS Store.
We Europeans can finally look forward to PSone games such as Crash Bandicoot, Syphon Filter, WipEout, Everybody’s Golf, Jumping Flash! and Medievil, on June 22nd. More will obviously follow. I want Resident Evil and Destruction Derby!!
Calling All Cars should also arrive June 22nd priced at Euro 7.99 followed by Nucleus on July 6th also priced Euro 7.99. The MotorStorm update should arrive on EU PS Stores June 15th.
(after 3 weeks... but for 23.5€ I cannot remotely complain!)
So merry Christmas!

They really should ramp up the PS1 downloads. Like 1 or 2 a week minimum. I wouldn’t mind some old and forgotten RPGs along with niche games to go with one mainstream a week. But Sony seems to be waiting for something. With Digital downloads it’s not like they have inventory problems.
I’m pretty sure it’s for both maps. I remember the podcast where they announced it, they called it a map pack for $7.99.

Wasn’t there a MotorStorm update scheduled for today?

I’m looking forward to testing out Lair

YAY! If we’re only going to have one game let’s have one game that is as good as it can be. By cheaters do you mean the people that somehow managed to have their char’s glitch so it’s hard to aim at them? I’ve had this problem with a few people and didn’t know whether my connection was acting up or they’d managed to hack the game. Chimera vs. Chimera is pointless! How hard is it to spot the difference between the auger carriers and everyone else? EXTREMELY HARD!!! Can’t wait for the update.

…. so another Trailer PSN update, how exciting ….

The PS1 (according to Wiki) had 7902 (non unique) games (counting each release of a game!).
If you divide by three (PAL, NTSC and NTSC-J) you can approximate about 2500 unique PS1 games…
If Sony released 1 game every day, it would take freaking 6.8 years till all are released. They should finally ramp up the PS1 game releases out side of Japan…
I want freakin RE2, MGS1 (will be released shortly before MGS4 hits, I am sure of that), all FFs, GT2 (I love the car selection there) and some of the 2D shooters!! (I sold nearly all my PS1 games over time sadly).
And Sony should finally ramp up the demo output. I mean, there hasnt been a new Demo in the EU PSN since Virtua Tennis (which was in the beginning of may!!).

I’m beginning to lose the faith!
Sony really need to ramp up the PSN, especially for us Europeans. Yep the only area in which Sony has had limited success with the PS3 is Europe and we’re getting everything last…..I mean COME ON SONY we should have had ‘Calling All Cars’ ages ago!
I was under the impression from pre-launch hype that the PS3 would be the all singing all dancing multimedia networked console. That may be so but there is little content to prove it. Surely it wouldn’t take much to have at least two new releases under each title of the PSN Store? I want more games, movies, music, demos & downloads and I want them yesterday. The monthly magazines with demo disks currently pack more punch than Sony
Sony lost the online war with the PS2 vs XBOX and if their not careful history will repeat itself.
RANT OVER (Believe it or not I am a Sony Fanboy)

This is amazing *if* they can actually deliver. These release dates always get pushed back. If we can actually get either the Lair demo or Super Stardust this month (and they are half as good as they sound), then I will be really happy. If they actually deliver on both, I will be surprised.
Are Europeans still supposed to get SingStar this month? IGN has it listed as 6/22 for UK and Sony’s official site has it listed as summer.

Drats! no nothing…
This is very disheartening, Sony is supposed to be a content company too, yet PS3 content is still the #1 missing element (and I’m not just referring to games)…

Afaik, Singstar in Germany at least, comes in July.

With ps2 still selling more than next gen console, I think the real transition to PS3 for Sony and their customer will be next christmas. If they manage to release all their promised title we will be very happy gamers!

July is close enough. Thanks Segitz

I am sure there will be some PSN content to coincide with E3.
