I'll take all the freebies and way up on the firstplay thing (doubt it though)

One thing though. Is anyone now more reluctant over buying full price games off the store, when you see the sales appear now ?? I know I am a little more wary of it now for fear it'll be half price the following week.
Its a case of tough luck though isnt it? Thats why I would never buy the PSPgo.

Watched the FirstPlay thing, it wasn't decent but not amazing.

Was it worth the 60p per episode I paid? I think so

Very true, although if bought from a shop you can trade it in. You cant do that with Digital downloads.

If you buy a game from a shop and its crap you can trade it in but download it and you're stuffed.

Yeah I have a few downloads that I wish I could trade. So I know its either delete or keep. somehow though cause I've paid for them (and dont need the space) I feel I cant delete them.

Pants, it's just based on FirstPlay which is to be expected for their first theme I guess. The other freebie is a custom parachute in Just Cause 2.

'Video' on left hand side? Where's that then?

There is 'media' which leads to game videos and ASC sports videos, but not to the actual video store for movie rentals and purchases.
underneath where it says Playstation store as soon as you go into the store its says game and next to it video

Anyone tried "Aqua panic" or its previous incarnation that was on PSP ???

Just wondering if it's something my kids might like (4 and 6) and b. Assume it would HAVE to have trophy support also ??

On the US store?

It just has a "back to top" button, not GAME and VIDEO icons like ours.

They are hidden to PAL users, which was the point of the discussion.

While i appreciate that you're trying to help (and thanks for joining in, by the way), please read the thread properly before breaking out the sarcasm smilie.

Anyway, isn't Final Fight due today?

Not a bad week this week....
Two demos and the GTAIV dlc and, shockingly, a good PS1 classic! Some good PSN games too - Section 8 and final fight etc.

Must try out Skate 3. That does look good.

Anyone got Army of Two? If so, is it worth picking up?

Trine is interesting me @ the price cut, though still got too many other games to play so maybe not. Again, the (now) 25p avatars for eyepet, I'm sure my son would love but are non transferable from my master account once again I presume.

reasonable price for the GTA DLC, I'll just wait for my Amazon pre-order to come through though.

Trine is a decent game - especially at that price. A similar game to consider is Braid, which is around that price point too I think.

I am kind of tempted by the Prince of Persia classic price reduction - can't go far wrong at £3.99 really.

Quite a good thing. We know about the Euro store updates moving soon to Wednesdays early May but also the US updates are moving to Tuesdays too. This means we get to see what the US gets probably wed morning for us, then we get to be disappointed by what we get later that day.

I was actually impressed enough with First Play Issue 1 last week that I've subscribed.

It's worth the price definitely.and yes a good update this week.

I tried the Sam and Max demo and confirmed that I made the right choice buying it on PC

It works well on a controller, but definitely better with mouse and keyboard.
