Whatever the free Guitar Hero World Tour DLC that was coming out this week was put up on the US store a couple of days ago. Forgot to mention it.

I only post content that is currently on the store. Too many people were getting confused.

The rest of the stuff (LBP DLC / Rockband stuff / Savage Moon) will be in the OP tomorrow.

Free GHWT DLC! Yay!

Still broke so any useful free shit for me is good.

HOPEFULLY we get the Midnight Club DLC this week. And revised. With more SUVs than simply a Range Rover.

I'm actually pretty disappointed in the amount of PSN delays there have been recently.

First Lumines Supernova (even though that was more of a communication error on Sony's part), then this year's LBP DLC, Nobi Nobi Boy, and now the ME time trials pack.

Now a majority of them are dropping in February (including Flower, which they announced would be coming out in February, but wouldn't say when) alongside Street Fighter IV, Killzone 2 and a whole other slew of titles (some of which were due to come out in January, like Retro Game Challenge).

I understand that delays happen and it's not too bad, but I'd like it if the industry could streamline their certification process and stick to harder release dates (or at least talk to each other and spread them out a little bit).

Right, we have a release date now. But what I was trying to say (and perhaps I wasn't clear enough) was that they initially announced that they game would be released in February, but provided no hard date. They just kind of made much ado about nothing, waving their arms about that a game was coming out some time during the entire month of February.

It's the same problem the industry has had for years regarding the notion of the "release date", which sometimes means "ship date" or sometimes means "release date".

i think i'll just be picking up the LBP DLC off the US PSN store. Don't see anything in particular that I want unless there's surprises coming in tomorrow.

What's the Gaf verdict on Savage Moon?
Click to expand...
Since no one has played it yet, it's either absolutely fuck awesome or a total piece of shit. Odds are the real answer is somewhere between those, though. (I'm going to lean toward the awesome side, looks pretty decent.)

Is that true about CCs at the Hong Kong store? I just downloaded two PS1 games on Tuesday with my American Express with no problem whatsoever.

Can you speed up time in Savage Moon? Because that's one of the things that makes Defense Grid so fantastic. No waiting around. You just hold down the button and you're past all the easy and boring bits. I don't think I can go back to playing TD games without that feature.
