PSN Store Update: 17/10/12 – The Big One

TSA Staff 61 Comments
[drop2]No doubt you’ll be well aware that today’s PSN Store Update is a little bit different – along with the usual content you’ll notice (as we revealed last week) that the interface has been given a complete overhaul. New visuals, new mechanics, new ways to buy more stuff.

The main game this week is The Unfinished Swan, exclusive for seven days to PS Plus.

Our review has attracted much attention, so give it a look if you’ve not already, and make sure you give the game a good luck if you like your PSN titles to be a little bit different.

Also available is the new Doom 3 BFG Edition (for £29.99), which includes Doom, Doom II, Doom 3, and Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil, plus the all-new ‘Lost Mission’ missions. In addition, make sure you grab the beta for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale if you’ve got Plus, it’s there for both PS3 and Vita.

If you’ve got £50 spare, Sleeping Dogs is also out for download, and on the Vita there’s Burn The Rope and a demo of Super Monkey Ball. Cubixx and OMG Zombies also join the PlayStation Mobile pile, at £2.39 each. No trophies for these yet, remember.

In terms of DLC, check out Captain Scarlett And Her Pirate’s Booty (£7.99/€9.99) for Borderlands 2, three costume packs for Dead or Alive 5 (at £3.99 each) and the Mass Effect 3: Groundside Resistance Pack for, well, Mass Effect 3. Sadly, there’s still no Counter Strike: GO (might as well strike that one off the list, guys) or a YouTube App.

For everything else, check the Blog.

  1. Its not cool. They need to pay some to respond to the blog and tell people what’s going on.

    How hard is it Sony, man up a bit….!

    • that’s the worst part, they do pay people to do that.
      they just don’t do it.

  2. It’s working now here in the UK.

    • Thanks for heads up , will take a look tomorrow night.

    • down right now.
      still the old store.

  3. Dear god why did they bother? What a shambles. Can’t find a bloody thing, where have all the videos gone? Where’s this weeks episode of Access? It’s slow to load, it’s jerky, it’s half arsed and ill-conceived.
    Whoever green-lit this should be fired. And then rehired and fired again and then shot in the head. Twice. And then incinerated along with the unsold stock of fat ps3’s.
    And then fired again.
    If Playstation Store revenue doesn’t drop off the edge of a very tall cliff I’ll eat my sixaxis. Sideways.
    I’m not happy.

    • I’d start preparing that SixAxis. If you think that revenue will drop from half a day of issues you’re mad.

      Mad enough to eat a SixAxis at least.

  4. hope Battle Royale is amazing. really want to get it when it comes out

  5. 10.30pm and im still getting the old store, no sign off the Battle Royal Beta on there either. Yet another SCEE cluster f**k

  6. Found the All stars BR game under plus, no way of telling which download is for VITA and which for PS3. Im assuming the larger file is for PS3 but then i had to download both to find out that info. Way to go SCEE, cant even provide simple info on the downloads.

  7. Lol. Just went back in to have another look for the game videos. It’s back to the old style. 20 minutes after I first went in!
    At least I have found Access now! Straight away, no dramas with the old layout. Although the All-Stars Beta wasn’t showing on there…
    I’m really starting to wonder whether Sony are heading for the scrap heap. I don’t have much confidence in their ability to keep in touch with the real world anymore, let alone launch a new console next year.

  8. will this new store, if they can ever get it working, i’ve been to the store three or four times since the update “launched” and i’ve only ever seen the old store, fix the broken downloads.

    i’m getting downright sick of waiting an age for something to bloody download then the installation failing at 5% or something.
    i downloaded resident evil and bulletstorm last night, i had to set the ps3 to finish downloading and installing them and then shut off so i don’t know how long it took, but it was going pretty slow when i last checked so i assume it took a long time, only to switch on my ps3 this morning to see the game icons in the list of uninstalled games on the xmb, and experience has taught me what that means.

    i thought it was the new hard drive i bought at first, but it happens on my other ps3 with it’s original hard drive.

    and i’ve never had this problem on xbox, wii or pc, so i think it’s safe to assume the problem is sony’s.

    sony really need to get their shit together.

    • SCEE have needed to get their shit together since the PS3 Launched over 5 years ago. It hasn’t happened yet and it’s not likely to happen in the future. It is also the reason a lot of people will skip Sony’s next gen console and they have nobody to blame but themselves.

      • There are more & more people saying stuff along those lines.

  9. I managed to get the update screen at one stage with a request to download a 26MB update file, after which the store came to life in the form of a black screen followed by the original store layout screen.
    Did that just happen?
    Ooooh!…..*Roll twighlight zone music* :P

  10. Stil had the old store last night

    • I did too & at least one other of my friends didn’t either.

      Are we the poor unwanted children or something? :(

      • You may want to be careful about calling yourself an unwanted child as Bmike may decide to pay you a visit and make you feel wanted in his own way. ;)

    • Had the new store and was lightning fast. Don’t understand the complaints :-p
