Could someone please translate what's the difference between the two middle games in these photos are, exactly? I can tell that one's a rather small and brief demo, but what's with the other one? An expanded demo? Or the full game?

exit: nevermind, a friend helped me. I guess they're both demos D:

Day 1. I enjoyed VK2 heaps.

 

[Gamecocks625]

Reading some of Mike's comments on the EU blog, it looks like the next couple weeks will be slow on the PSN front. February is when things kick back into gear.

 

[Ranger X]

ohhhhhh, I hope that Patapon2 will also drop in the US.

I would totally buy it at 14$

I found a voucher (w/the case and all) in Target for $5 a few months ago. I've only played a little bit of it, but $5 was a totally awesome deal.

If that sounds appealing to you, get it.

[SiegfriedFM]

Update is up in Sweden.

Why release "Within You Without You" for TBRB of all songs? A variant of it is already in the game and the song sucks in any case.

 

[Lionheart]

Constructor? Hadn't heard about that one becoming a Mini, I expected it to be an other game or something, but it's the awesome (and hard) construction / mafia game, released on PC and ported to PS1 before.

Would have expected such a game to be a PS1 classic, not a mini, wonder what they changed about it. Was the PS1 version any good?

 

[snap0212]

I'm glad Sony made a Blog for Germany. The guy who writes all the articles there doesn't know anything. And they only have one single person who posts. :lol

It's so frustrating to see that Sony Europe doesn't know anything about what Sony US (or JP) is doing and vice versa. Why the hell don't we have the Heavy Rain Dynamic Theme over here? Yeah, no reason for that. Why don't Sony Europe/America/Japan work together to bring the best content prossible? I just don't get it.

It is a PS1 "classic" not a mini.

Oops, brain fart..., I guess I saw Deflector in the Minis list, remembered the title in the back of my head, then went to PSN Store on my PS3, saw Constructor (not as mini) and assumed that... Oh well, never mind...

Also, the Final Fantasy XIII International Trailer has been on US PSN for some time already.

No. It means there is no decent new game / demo this week.

Could be. I've unlocked 3 of them, they're not too bad. Wish there was a dynamic one though.
