Has there been a slip in the space-time continuum? You seem a bit early..
Charmed_Fanatic
Bit disappointing for me this week :/
project84music
Have to agree, there’s not very much of interest in any of the sections =[
makibah
Normally I find something even if it’s just a video, but nothing for me either. Oh well looks like I will just have to keep on taking out zombies (lifts cricket bat up to shoulder).
Vaile23
awww, i was going to call him an00bis :(
Bilbo_bobbins
Nice week for P+ then. Looking better. Modnation Racers Nathan Drake sounds good.
Loads of content this week. Keep it up Sony.
simplebob
if it wasnt for Playstation+ there would be nothing for me this week.
hunterstryfe
still no free DLC this month though
theberzerka
I thought the ps classic was meant to be syphon filter i was looking forward to that.
yogh_wayne
Looks like a Burn Zombie Burn T-shirt for Home is the free DLC this month :(
DrNate86
Hmmm, tough one. The map packs for MW2 are finally a price I would be happy to pay for them, but am I going to bother getting into MW2 again with Black-Ops so close! Also, weren’t the Hunter and Trader costumes for Red Dead released already? I’m sure I have them.
R1MJAW
Yes, the RDR stuff was released already … however it shouldn’t have been, it apparently wasn’t ready (SCEE cocked up again).
Also, if you installed it, you may need to delete your game data (not save data) and re-install … I’m not sure if just re-downloading and installing this version over the top would fix the supposed problems it was causing.
rht992
good to see map packs at a normal price. . .
cc_star
With a month to go until the next game is out this DLC pricedrop is MW2’s last throw of the dice.
Whatever the price though, I’m sure many people have got hundreds of hours play out of it and gained great value out of the £11 they spent.
BrendanCalls
I definitely feel I got my moneys worth for £11 or £22 actually
rht992
i know they’ll have gottne plenty out of it but it still seems just a little bit too much for so little. this is an age old argument anyway
Ro6afc11
I forgot it was PS+ update week so that was a nice reminder.
Going back in time a bit so this has probably already been discussed but I tried my first Full Title Trial this week (Shatter). I got some trophies in the hour and they still show in my trophies but they have definitely not counted to my overall total. Anyone else noticed this and is that the way it is supposed to be?
TSBonyman
They will unlock properly only when you buy the full game, but it means you don’t have to replay for the trophies as you would do with a normal demo/trial.
Ro6afc11
Ah I see. That would make sense. Cheers for that.
Porcupine_I
Where is Castle Crashers? :-(
tantalus_blank
seconded :(
Klart
Bad news:
Posted on 6 October, 2010 at 1:04 pm by Mike Kebby
Castle Crashers is in QA again, unfortunately we’ve been beholden to waiting for the publisher submitting the code again. This time however it should make it through and be out in a couple of weeks (my fingers are crossed for this to happen).
So they have to start ALL OVER again.
This means another month.
tantalus_blank
ah that sucks – but at least it’s coming at some point
Qurx
hmmm now i’m serieusly thinking of getting it from the american store…
DJ-Katy
Why does it need QA? It’s been on the US store for a month.
aerobes
Thank goodness! Nothing I’m particularly interested in this week apart from the RDR content and that’s free.
