Well, as we told you on Monday, this is a big one and it’s full of special offers and deals. There are lots of different offers in lots of different genres so there should be something for everyone. Thanks Uncle Sony!
Highlights, aside from the offers, are probably with the trio of sequels in the PS3 demos this week. Dead Space 2, Mass Effect 2 and LittleBigPlanet 2 all get a trial to download.
There’s certainly plenty there to keep you all occupied until you tear the paper off your newest games after Santa’s been.

I’ve been looking forward to Echochrome 2 since I got the Move and played the demo. Can’t believe it’s really taken them 3 months since that point to actually release it!
That’s about all I’ll be buying, anyhow.
Daywalker
Bloody hell. Tis the time to be spending!
R4U Eldave0
Huuuuge update. Granted there isn’t much I want there but certainly a decent selection none-the-less. Does anyone know what is in the Smackdown 2011 discount pack? I thought this week the Nexus+Layla pack was going to be released
Rocket_345
Are all the Nexus coming. I thought i read it was just Wade Barret, David Otunga andd Justin Gabriel.

“A Space Shooter for Two Bucks (£1.74/€1.99) Rating: PEGI 12”
Epic pricing fail.
But an epicly good update too. Most of this stuff was on the US store this morning along with the StrongBad / Homestar Runner episodic game which almost made me die laughing when I saw it.
The RUSE Manhattan Pack was free on the US PSN store at about 5 this morning local time when I checked – pricing error?
shields_t
I wonder how much “Space Shooter” will end up retailing for on the Japanese store?
dizwod
NEOGEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
solidsteven
Only Mass effect 2 interests me as i have already got the LBP2 beta. It is quite good. They could of done a Final Fantasy bundle. That would sell a couple million.
SpikeyMikey23
not so sure it would. Most of the dia hard FF fans have probably already bought them separatly. good ideal thoug, Im going to but 9 soon. got 7&8 off the US store when they were released
Dan Lee
Will be trying ME2! Probably Dead Space 2 as well.
Squalje
For sure. Dying to see how ME2 looks on PS3.
Aquastyle
Ill try out both of those, and LBP2 aswell, ofcourse.
This is demo-heaven!
SpikeyMikey23
Hmmmmm monkey island discount is calling me! Its saying ‘Hey Dickhead! Buy Me!’ who am I to resist! I am going to be gutted when this turns up in PS+
Aquastyle
Well, you better do what you’re told, right? They’re awesome, especially the second, you won’t regret it.
SpikeyMikey23
how many episodes are they? Im a massive fan of monkey island, even 3 and the ps2 game!
Aquastyle
Oh, it’s the complete season! I haven’t played em all, just Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2, so unfortunately don’t know the answer to that question…
SpikeyMikey23
ah i get what you mean now. its the Tales of Monkey island thats discounted. episodic content. Your talking about the first 2 games remade yeah? secret of monkey island and lechucks revenge?
Aquastyle
Yeah, those two. :)
mcduff1979
bfbc2 vietnam for me…. anyone know when store updates and just tried searching for vietnam and nothing yet…
Rocket_345
On the post over on the blog it says between 4-5
SpikeyMikey23
not 100% but its around 4-5pm
moshi
Normally 5 for me, how the next 2 hours will drag.
Vaile23
its 10 to 6 and nowt for me!
Rocket_345
Glad it isn’t just me. I put Home Alone on so it would finish before 5 when the store was supposed to update and i’m still waiting.
colmshan1990
It says on the blog between 4-5pm this week.
MadBoJangles
I have friends online playing the Dead Space 2 demo now, but the store hasn’t updated for me :(
Ah well, back to cleaning up til 5 then lol
Rocket_345
@MadBoJangles
Maybe they have a US account. The demo was up yesterday for them.
mynameisblair
I know I’m starting to sound like I hate the PSN… but Lara Croft for £3.40 on there and Burnout Ultimate Box (with all the DLC) for £3.75! Hey, if you’ve got a good PC…
In other news, I’m looking forward to the DS2 and LBP2 demos, but I’m playing through the first Mass Effect right now so won’t bother with that…
mynameisblair
No idea where I wrote “on there”, I meant “on Steam”.
djhsecondnature
Not a fair comparison though as PC is always cheaper.
bunimomike
Aye… but Lara Croft (Guardian of Light) really is a better game with the DS3 controller and a couple of you on the sofa chilling out. It’s a fair point, though. Pricing all to cock!
