PSN Store Update: 05/01/11

It’s the new  year, and it’s time for Sony to get the Store updates rolling again. A highlight today should have been the console release of Angry Birds, the omnipresent iPhone (and now Android, etc.) puzzler that has proven to be a hugely popular title and remains so many months after its release, but it was apparently removed this morning from the update…

There’s enough left, though, so feast your eyes on what’s coming to your PlayStation 3 and PSP later today, including EA’s Microbot, Uno at the ridiculous price of 79p and a slightly too expensive Borderlands…

  1. I don’t think anyone’s mentioned Microbot yet, definitely worth investigating, especially for £6.29

    • I concur, having just played the demo and then purchased it! :)

  2. Nothing for me this week. Probably just as well really considering I spent quite a bit on the festive offers and haven’t got around to playing any of those games get, mainly because of GT5. ;)

    • Oh, I meant to ask, does anyone know why Angry Birds got pulled from the EU store update this week?

  3. Still got a bit left over in the wallet from xmas psn cards, so I think I’ll just get uno

  4. will probably pick up UNO and try the kung fu Live demo along with my PS+ stuff – but quite disappointed in a lack of anything really decent at the moment :(

    • uno is still full price at £6.29….. i only have 97p in my wallet so was going to get it

      • Has the store actually updated yet? It was a bit late last time.
        If it’s anywhere then it’ll be in the ‘Special offers’ bit in the ‘Latest’ section, but if it is still showing ‘Festive Offers’, then it hasn’t updated yet.

  5. Slow start and nothing for me in there, but things we’ll probably pick up in the coming weeks.

  6. Forgot about this! Nice little surprise

  7. I can get the GOTY edition of Borderlands for € 29,99 at a local store :O

  8. No Angry Birds? :( But, I just bought a PSP Go and expected to hurl limbless chickens tomorrow in college. Why can the US Store have it and not us?

  9. Microbot HD is strangely addictive, recommended to anyone that likes old top down shooters…
