Looking forward to the Simpson's demo :D
This game actually looks somewhat promising unlike the past Simpson games...

Also, where the fuck is my PES demo?!
 
nice, Simpsons demo. Isn't the MGS4 TGS trailer supposed to be out this week too? Other than that... where's the new firmware update....
 
user friendly said:
So I should have just started a thread then?

Tanod usually sets these things up, but yeah sure. SCEA pushing out the list a day early threw him (and everyone else) off :)
 
Simpsons demo? Awesome! I already preordered it, but I wouldn't mind trying it out early. Does anyone know if it offers co-op play? My wife would really like playing this one with me.
 
Simpsons demo? Awesome.

Other than the embarrassing Lair tutorial/plea for mercy I like the idea of the tutorials. They really should do some general hardware tutorials though, demonstrate some of the weird little cool things the console does that some people may not be aware of. Then, they should have those tutorials on the HDD of new units, along with a simple "this is how you sign up for PSN" video.

Sony has released a couple videos like this on the Japanese store. There was one that talked about the photo slideshow capabilities of the PS3.
 
HOLY ****. Simpsons and Bladestorm demo!!

This week delivers! :D

edit: PS Jim, your original link is broken since you ended the url tag incorrectly. :)

Yup, there's co-op play...i'll be playing this with my wife as well.
 
Simpson's demo. Hell's yeah.

Game looks great but I wanted to check it out before deciding whether to purchase it, and now I get my chance.
 
I'd imagine the 360 demo of the Simpsons has to be going up before then...I mean we couldn't possibly be getting an EA demo frirst on PSN.....Could we?
 
--Go! Sports Ski (2.99 US) - Go! Sports Ski is a visually stunning, skiing simulator that harnesses the SIXAXIS controller.

Really? Visually stunning? Don't want to troll, but I don't think I've ever seen a screenshot of this game...

[/GRAIN OF SALT]

$2.99 is a great price though.


...


[something bad must've happened...starts candlelight vigil for Tanod.]
 
Simpsons looks shockingly good considering the quality of licensed Simpsons games in the past.

Will be glad to try it out and see if it works out.

Also, what the hell? MGS4 trailers have been up in a timely manner since E3. No TGS demo yet?

PES08 will be with a SCEE update, not SCEA.

I figured it did, but I hadn't seen anything confirm it. Thanks.

EB/GS is giving away Homerballs with preorders of the game, by the way.

Also, EA needs to talk with Konami about getting the old arcade game on PSN/XBLA.
 
Can't wait to check out the Tekkonkinkreet trailer, almost bought it the other day in BB but wanted to see it on my tv first. Perfect opportunity.
