They've been on the US store for ages. I've been playing them on my PS3/PSP for about a year now. I am sure a lot of intrested folks have already bought them from a US account and don't care about them lauching on the UK/EU store anymore!

is it easy to get a us account then. i wana play resident evil 12 3 as i never played them. i also want castlvania and double dragon

Setting up a US account is easy, just create a new user on your PS3 (Far left on XMB) and then sign up to the PSN using a US address.

Then just buy a US PSN cards on the internet, add the funds to your US account and buy the games you want. You should then be able to play them on your normal UK PSN account.

Has anyone done a list of US PSN games that you can't get on UK PSN? I'm not sure whether or not it's worth it

Guys,does anyone know if the new Lara Croft game is released tonight,onto the UK Playstation store?

Probably tomorrow for us, although if you got the early demo from gamespot over the weekend you can apparently buy it now from within the game.

US update looks pretty good. Lara game is there, so hopefully EU will too, no castlevania though...

Couple of interesting demos there. I used to enjoy the old v-rally games so will give WRC a blast (with my new wheel)

Also looking forward to trying the lara croft game - which looks pretty decent (although still no online co-op)

I got the castlevania demo on plus the other week. Definitely worth a download, although the aspects of the game that I am most interested in don't really feature in the two levels.

I was expecting a couple of PS1 classics to tie in to the 15 yr anniversary - which I thought was this week in the EU.

I played the Lara Croft trial (PS+) and thought it was really good, but there isn't any online co-op that would have made me spend £9.99 on it, just local co-op.

Is online co-op a potential future update do we think?

The brain challenge game aint bad for 79p! Used to be £7.99 at one point on the store. Although thinking about it, I may get that free in the future with having PS+, I dunno.

Yeah - there will be a patch. It was meant to be ready for launch on PS3 but was delayed.

Oh really? Again though, put off cos I have PS+ and may get it free one day!

Think I might pick up Brain Challenge for the missus, she loves that sort of stuff and what's 79p between friends!

Astro Tripper looks like a pick too, although dropping from £3.19 to £2.39 isn't exactly a major price slash.

I know the feeling

May take the plunge with this one though - if the demo is good.

Guess we will be finding out what is in store for us in November soon..........

Yeah the trial for Lara was really good, and I don't like Tomb Raider games.

I just know though that I'll buy it and then 2 months later it'll be on 50% discount!!!

I will definatly buy Brain Challenge though for 79p.

When does this weeks update,go live in the UK?
As at the moment its still last week's stuff :[

Just found the same thing! Was hoping to d/l and have a quick go at a couple before I mooch off to the football but will have to wait until tomorrow now I think

Normally between 16:00 and 18:00

Ok,cheers HotBird .......
I may have to DRAG myself away from Uncharted 2 though,have dived back in to try and add/track down some more hidden treasures ....
This game just seems to get better with age,even tho its a year old it still hands head and shoulders above most,if not ALL the modern day console stuff....

its been updated, well, firstplay has.

However, i have a problem.

Episode 26 of Firstplay is showing as £0.99, even though i have a subscription, why the hell is it doing this!!

Very annoying, as i dont fancy funding £5 for something that should be free for me

Lol,has it?
We still have episode 25 here ...
Or is it a case of logging out,and back in again?

thats what i did

What's this? Some kind of video/image tool?

3D Image/Panorama viewer

It is a tool for viewing 3D photos I think.

edit. beat to it
