Wow... I just clued into how bad PSN is for Canadian users.
You see those songs for Rock Band and how they are $1.99.. yeah $2.99 in Canada! Totally uncool!

I did not enjoy the update. i'm usually buying something each week. Hell, I usually download a demo but this week is just NO. Oh and Neopets? LMFAO! Way to tap into the younger audience with that :3
I stopped with the Rockband DLC though. Just waiting for something. something special to happen.
Oh well, This week's update will make next week's update look nicer though. /hopefully.

I'm still waiting for 2112.
The Prince Caspian video should be good for a few laughs. Can anyone please explain why SONY - owner of music and movie studios - doesn't offer music on the PSN as well as more trailers????

@Candlejack: Actually I wasn't even thinking of the demo, I think everyone snagged that on the US store already anyway. Theme Hospital and Fade to Black were two of my favourite games on the PS1, both worthy purchases. FTB is definitely an acquired taste but I think it's nice to go back and look at how one of the first 3D action adventure games played.

This has been one of the worst updates we've gotten in a long time. Jeez, even the Wii got 1080 this past week. Let's go Sony. I'm still waiting for the Final Fantasy VII ps1 download...

Yeah the theme selection is pretty lame in the official store (Sony probably figures let the users come up with the brunt of them)

If you mean that the themes submitted to PSU have then been put on PSN Store, i dont think that i the case, PSU does however host the official themes to offer faster downloads to users.[and also to offer a definitive collection]
I think?

@silkylove: People would argue that Pixeljunk Monsters, something released not even a month ago, qualifies. If it isn't for you, that's hardly the point.

How about some decent downloadable games? Mortal Kombat II with online was good but not great. There is no key downloadble game right now. Flow and Everyday Shooter get old after a while.

@sascha23: I recommend [www.ps3-themes.com], does the job quite well. Of course, official ones still are a touch nicer - if for the convenience of getting them from the store.

@sascha23:
Many user created themes are of the same quality as the official ones, but maybe having a site to submit themes of which the best are then hosted on the PS Store would be a good idea.

Conflict demo was so-so. kinda reminds me of BLACK. but shittier. (if that's a word...)
i look forward to Black 2 a lot. they said they would start developing it after Burnout. so an 09 date would be great.
as for everything else in the update. it's kinda crappy this week.... will there be a GTA demo? or a GT5P demo?

Denied Ops is such a generic title, it's almost as if they weren't even trying to name the game at all.

I swear, reading people's posts...you'd think there need to be demos for AAA titles every week to keep them content.
I fully expect an MGS4, FFXIII, Killzone 2 and RE5 demo in the coming week or I'm gonna...um...I'm going to be unhappy. BOO! ;)

I wish there was a demo.
On a side note, there's no way in hell anybody would be crazy enough to fork over $60 for Ape Quest.

i loved playing the tower defense map in warcraft 3 so i bought Monsters the day it came out. i still prefer warcraft 3 though; it has a better "action" feel to it whereas Monsters feels whimsical and laid-back with its visual style and music
but it is challenging and fun and definitely worth the money
