It is, they confirmed it on the blog today. I don't add the stuff to the list until it is out now since people kept getting confused if the update was out.

Cuboid looks nice, but could easily hurt my brain.

I'm kind of surprised it's coming out - TikGames / Creat Studios have already announced Mahjong for PSN to come out in January sometime. You don't tend to bring competition to your own game so quickly.

I'm going to take a guess and say that SSF2HD still isn't on the AUS store. Do you not want my money sony and capcom?!

It's on the JP PSN store already. PSOne game. It's a bit of a remake of the game (released a year or so prior) that streamlines it and makes it an even better game. I'm gonna make a thread about it tonight with pics from my PSP, rawr!

I sure hope the US store update is a lot better than the JPN or HK updates. Anyone know when exactly in January the DLC for Mirror's Edge or Smackdown VS Raw 2009 is supposed to be out? And is it just me or are they getting kind of cheap with the LBP DLC? They don't have any troubles coming up with costumes for paid DLC, but the free Santa suit got split into two pieces and now we apparently don't get anything this week?

The HK and Japanese store update about 3 times a week. They will get another update tomorrow, that is when they get most their content.

From the PS Blog

In 2009, more goodies are on their way to the PS Store, but you’re gonna have to hold tight for a few weeks. We’re planning to start our weekly deliveries on Jan 22 with a lot of new stuff, returning stuff and big surprises — Lets just say it’ll be a big year.

Gotta wait a few weeks

According to IGN, Sonic 2, Streets of Rage 2, and Golden Axe should be available on PSN sometime very soon.

I'm sure its on the board somewhere else, but I didn't find it.

I haven't but I like SRPG's. Hmmm, looking at it on youtube I think I could manage but it didn't look "that" kick ass from the battle I saw and learning the abilities would be a bitch. That said, I can't think of a single other turn based SRPG on my PS3 to play so I might still pick it up. I'll wait for your write up.

Btw. That Cuboid game - played it few years ago. Free flash game or something.

I remember thinking it was great and the dev should be recognized.

I don't remember only if the full game was available for free or just a few level demo.

Looks identical. I even remember the few levels.

I think I'm going to buy Qore, because I actually am interested in those features.
The Fear2 demo is a bonus.

Plus, Veronica Belmont in a mo-cap suit.

So these are all the new releases for the week? Don't really know how this thread works as it's my first time really looking at the content.

Are Australian releases the same as European releases? If so, why is CTR listed, as I bought it around a month ago on the Australian PSN store.

It's the same game, so yeah.

Btw. Can someone tell me if you can change the camera in this? I only saw ign vids few months ago and from there it looked like a straight port of the old game. Only thing that there's more "bling" and special effects. If you can't change the camera, then I'm 100% sure it's a port. All objects were very detailed sprites in the old version. I remember thinking it was amazing how 3d it looked.
