‘Heads-Up’ PlayStation Store Update (14th January 2010)
Thanks to all for your feedback last week, there was some great work there indeed. Lots of you echoed sentiments that I personally share and it’ll be interesting to see where this year takes us.
Last week’s special offers continue for one more week (with a new batch coming on the 21st) so don’t forget to check those out if you haven’t already. We’ve gone a bit demo friendly this week with Vancouver 2010 and Inferno Pool for PS3, and Football Manager Handheld 2010 and Army of Two: The 40th Day for PSP available. This leads me nicely onto the fact that we’ll also have the full game of 40th Day available this Friday too.
Throw into the mix one full game, another PSP game, one mini, one PSone game and a bunch of downloadable content, and that makes this week’s publish. Oh, and a personal highlight, a trailer for Yakuza 3, it’s coming!!
That’s your lot this week; I’ll catch you in the comments section. Cheers.
