Being the first website to have the update is hard, unless you have a fancy press release in front of you

Oh hell yeah! Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped
I’m genuinely happy about this – I love this game!
There’s quite a lot of stuff this week too, seems like a pretty sizeable update.

I’m currently downloading Novastrike & Crash Bandicoot 3.
Despite owning Soul Calibur 4, I will not be getting Yoda, as having sampled him on my friend’s 360, he is cheap and annoying, and all round not very good. Vader was definitely the better ‘timed exclusive’ character – and the Dual Shock 3 is infinitely better to use as a controller (d-pad vs. d-pad).
There’s really nothing there that takes your fancy?

Novastrike – 1/10. I can’t believe I’ve paid for it.

I thought that at first when i played it today, but give it time, i think it’s a type of game that grows on you. Luckily I got it for free though

So that’s price rises for all the playable content. Thanks Sony, why don’t you come round and kick me in the balls too.

The pound plummeted against all currencies this week, that may have something to do with it

Sony hasn’t heard the term “credit crunch” then?

That’s probably what they’ll claim but I bet the prices won’t go down when the pound gets stronger.

Looks good though.

Some strange UK pricing débuts
You’re not wrong there.
140% increase on Buzz questions £3.49 to £3.99
Big Issue anyone?

We’ll all be living in grass huts by then, and we won’t need to worry about PS3’s ’cause we’ll have no electricity
