Wow pixeljunk eden is great :-D, i can't wait till next week!

i didnt see any youtube stuff in there

The youtube intergration was already added in a past firmware update, but no US or EU game supports it at the moment. PixelJunk Eden will be the first.

why is it that every freakin weak theres a new guitar hero/rockband song to d/l? NOT EVERYONE PLAYS THIS GAME, why dont they update the blu ray movie section or the demo section like they do with this rockband crap.

do u have a hate problem with guitar hero or rock band, if you do please take it somewhere else.

I just played a little of 1942, its pretty good for what it is, I'd say its worth the $9.99. I'm installing Siren now, can't wait to get started on that! (I'm loving these PSN games, I can't get enough!)

@7  yeah that is tru but i dont share your hate toward the game. if i was able to play the game i would be playing both. the reason they have it because its easier to convert music onto a game then having a demo of a new game thats on its way out. another one is people would get board of playing the same songs really fast. i'm a rap type of person but to yall rockers rock on!!  !m!

uhm because Activision and harmonix like to make sure their game is fresh with new content each week. Its not PSN of XBL saying "We need thes ein a weekly update", its the companies themselves providing these updates. Just keep your pants on, you dont play it? You dont have to care, its just more stuff per week which beefs out the updates.

Now my quesiton here is, does 1942 support Trophies? I dont think it does but id liek some confirmation on if im wrong

I didn't like PJE which I thought I wouldn't have :( Oh well maybe the next one.

@ Agent 94

@ AhhYuken

Yeaahhh, amen to that Agent 94!  I think its freaking awesome that theres always weekly content for RB and sorta for Gh3. Absolutly Millions of ppl love GH and RB even better with DLC  So i suggest "AhhYuken" should STFU or GTFO of PSU for being such a hater on music games. And take his hating back to 360 where it belongs.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed Parrapa the Rappa, but honestly, $23 for a ps1 title...Not that I don't have the cash but really, I think I'll wait for some homebrew if that's the price they want me to pay.

thats the best guitar hero pack made so far

The info on Parappa the Rapper is a bit wrong, its not technically a PS1 classic, its a port-over for the PSP that has added features (its not playable on the PS3). But, that price is still pretty ridiculous.

Eden is fun...and challenging too.  I'm on the 3rd level and am wondering how far they plan to let you go.  In the tutorial section it talks about YouTube support, but I haven't messed with it, so I don't know if they included it in the demo.  Yeah, I wish we could buy the PSN cards already.  Credit cards are the devil!

Wow Siren here I come. But damn them for lowering price on HVB, just bought that darn game  2.5 weeks ago, only if they had said there was soon going to be a sale.

Usually in a pixel junk demo when you get the full game you pick up where you left off in the demo... so have you guys been getting trophies? or will you have to play how ever many levels you get over again?

 EDEN freakin OWNS all of the psn games i have played so far,exccept siren,witch i have yet to buy. (will be purchasing it in about 1-2 days or so... if you guys have figured it out yet,its cheaper to by the whole game then top buy episodes at a time but i guess it will do for some peeps that dont have a lot of money but want to have some horror fun. :)   p.s.: ps3 owns and psn POWNS!!!

I love the way they wait till everyone has gone and bought all these network games THEN decide to make them cheaper. I was also pretty peed off with the warhawk expansion packs in that no sooner had i downloaded them they then combine them and make it cheaper. WTF????
