PlayStation Network Store Update - 09/25/08
After last week's lame offerings PSN has come back to my door with a box of chocolates and that dopey smile I've grown to love. I could never stay mad at you PSN. We've got three big winners on the downloadable games front with WipEout HD, Burnout Paradise, and Mega Man 9. If you've not picked up Paradise yet then this is the perfect time; it won't even cost you gas money. Still on the fence? They added trophy support in today! For those of you who are all about the trivia and have picked up your copies of BUZZ! you can download three different question packs, one of which happens to be completely focused on video games. Please send me videos of the brawls that take place when you're competing with your friends using these questions. I also plan on downloading the new Tomb Raider trailer because we all know I'm a Lara Croft kind of guy. So what are you waiting for? I'll see you on the network!
