Whoa. I just tried the PSP Media Manager 3.0 for the first time (haven't tried it since 2.x something, didn't have PS Store at that time and looked quite more basic).
I'm impressed. It has the zooming/fading effect of the PS3/PSP versions as well.

edit: Transferring files is easier than ever now and instant. Drag and drop and it auto-encodes..etc. Lol I'm so late to this.

it is so sad that people are actually going to buy this.

Even worse, there are people on the off. thread who will see this as the new savior of online gaming...I think it HAS TO BE a bad joke from capcom. Like most of the rest of RE5... :-/

The Shins for Rock Band, yay! What a completely bizarre track choice though. That's a great song, but I can't imagine it'll be much fun to play on drums. There were a lot better songs to choose for Rock Band. Either way, I'll buy it. I hope there's more Shins coming.

I think it was pulled because of some problem with it.

i don't get why rag doll kung fu doesn't have online MP... I was seriously looking forward to it before i found that out in a recent trailer. what's the point in all the character customisation etc?


it's truly shocking considering it's a Media Molecule game. (albeit external devs)

Could MM just have given them the LBP code for online MP? reduces the value of the game to AVOID AT ALL COSTS until MP is implemented.

Well, the Japanese Store monkeys fell asleep this week.

Maybe they'll wake up in North America and release a PS1 game.
 
What? No online for Kungfu?? That would be dumb as fuck!

ign said:
Although the game doesn't support online play or custom soundtracks, Nygren mentioned that there will be online leaderboards to support the local experience.

ffs....haven't anyone learned that online leaderboards mean squatt compared to real online gameplay??
 
Don't know if they is already mentioned. But RE5 VS in Japan is only 250 yen!

At that price point I really can't complain about a new mode.

Home has been updated in EU. There's two new stores in the mall selling hats and stuff and allegedly Xi has new stuff happening too.

No new gamespaces for germany (again), Don't know what the rest of EU got.

From EU Home forum:

9th April News Update

The mystery of Xi continues!


Already, Xi has brought flying cows, bike racing, zombie shoppers and old skool text adventures to Home – and the mystery is only just beginning. Check out the Xi graffiti in Home Square to join in the excitement. And come back every weekday to see what’s new!



Two new Stores arrive in the Shopping Centre

Firstly Alter Ego is a fancy dress shop and available today you'll find their range of hats for both boys and girls. There's much more to come, but this should should be a very interesting introduction to their store.

Secondly, The Original V-Shirt Store opens its doors a little early with a free taster of what’s to come later in the month. We are on schedule for a 23rd April launch and from then on you'll find great brands such as Billabong, Worn Free, Island Records and TeeTonic start to appear.

You will also find some new clothing items in Threads, in particular a biker outfit for both males and females.

The version 1.2 patch has slipped a little due to a serious bug that needs to be fixed and is now probably a couple of weeks away.

Now lets do a status check of the outstanding Spaces:

Warhawk, Uncharted, SOCOM. These Spaces are being localised for us by SCEA. Once localisation is complete then our Localisation QA checks the wording and context are correct and then QA tests the functionality.

Resident Evil 5 Studio Lot. The update to this Space is currently being localised by CAPCOM themselves. Again, it will need both QA checks prior to release.

Guitar Hero 3 and Godfather II Spaces. As 3rd party spaces we need to seek regional approval from Activision and EA in Europe before we can bring them to you here but this work has started.

Checked the hats store.

There's a couple of themed hats like Pirate's Hat etc an a couple of top hats with country flag colours on them.

Coutry flags are US, ireland, UK, England (red cross on white), Wales, France, Spain, Italy (looks exactely the same as Ireland??), Australia and Japan.

Themed hats are 1,50Euro a piece, Flagged are 99cents.

There's a lot of free clothing in EU Home today. V-shirts has a free t-shirt for the next two weeks while the standard store has 50's glasses and do-rags and whatnot.

The "DLC" uses an unlock code, and is only 1.8MB.. That's sure a lot functionality out of 1.84mb.
As I remember, when I downloaded the Versus DLC it was just 131KB.
 
Still no update? Want to see what comes out this week since the "no online" killed Ragdoll Kungfu for me :(

Ahem, i shall stop my whining now.

I'll put this here as well in case anyone is interested:

The Godfather II poker room is up in Home now. I played it for a bit with two other people.

There is one table in the bottom floor and there are more in the upper levels that are more far off (and more quiet).

The game mechanics are fine enough. The controller rumbles when it's your turn. You have a limited (but ample) amount of time to decide if you want to raise, fold or call. You start with $2k and the blinds start at 10/5 I believe. Raises begin at $10 increments. This is a tournament so the game ends when there is only one person left.

Biggest issue I found was you can't chat while playing the game! All the face buttons are used to play and I couldn't find a way to open the chat window. The D-pad gives you access to silly avatar moves like "gun hands" and clapping. I guess you could use the in-game XMB chat now but gezz.

Another issue was people already found a way to glitch onto the table so while we were playing poker there was a Zangeif dude who was dancing on the table. He can't get in the way of the game though like block the table cards so it was just a silly annoyance.

Ragdoll Kungfu and PSN price drops? Looks like I better fill my PSN wallet up. Hopefully the price drop is right across the store. I've been meaning to pick up the ME dlc.

Thanks for the head's up. I was going to delete home, but now I must check it out.

I wanted to come in here to say HOME is feeling a lot more useful these days. I entered the secret lobby and it was nice to see that you get a nice intro to the place. For something that is free, it feels like it actually has some drive to it now.

Not that it's the best thing ever but it's turning itself to be more useful with all the cool HOME spaces now.

Wonder why not releasing Ragdoll in Japan with the costumes. They did for HK.

I can't wait to try that game. Gonna be a nice update today for the US and maybe UK.

Apparently the PS3 version is accompanied by a patch which is like 36MB. Can't really tell from the PS3 side.

The 360 is the most telling one.

Maybe asked a few million times, but...

Can I purchase stuff off the NA store with my Dutch CC? I really want to (re)buy some of those Ps1 games.

Well I can use my Swedish Visa in the US store, so I would think so.

Aren't the PS1 games region-coded?
No, I have read some hiccups with UK/EUR games though. I think the last update introduced some new DRM perks. I have JPN and HK PS1 games and never had issues I couldn't work around.

EU Update is Live.

Bought myself Kung Fu Ragdoll and from the Sales I bought Ratchet & Clank and Pixeljunk Racers.

Excellent, excellent EU update this week. Three new games, *tons* of sales on many great games (I just happen to own most from before).

Also, almost all the games (all in this update anyways) have now gained Preview videos inside the store.
