Hey everybody, and welcome to this year's PSN news thread! This is the place where new announcements about PSN as a whole will go, so that we don't clutter up the weekly store threads with announcements, and miss out on people bitching that game x hasn't come out in the EU yet. I'm going to be keeping the thread as up to date as possible, with announcements from wherever I can find them popping up here.
