Rumored PS Store Content for 12/10/09

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:35:10 GMT

PlayStation LifeStyle writes:

"With only a few weeks left in 2009 the PlayStation Store will receive some titles we've spent much of the year anticipating. Titles like Pixeljunk Shooter (coming this week) and Blue Toad Murder Files (coming next week). Along with the aforementioned Pixeljunk Shooter, this week we are also expecting a demo for EA's Dante's Inferno. To coincide with the price drop on inFamous, Cole McGrath's once Gamestop exclusive "Gigawatt blades" will be available as a free download. Rounding out the update we have plenty of DLC as always, and quite a few eye-catching items in the the rumored section.

Also in preparation for 2010, we've done a massive update to our coming soon section. Be sure to check it out."

PS3 Owners: "Give Us Backwards Compatibility Back!"

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 02:56:52 GMT

The poll which GameStooge has been running since August has shown what Sony gamers want most: restoration of PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility.

Of course, that's not going to happen, since Sony would rather you either buy a PS2 or perhaps buy PS2 games from the PlayStation Store, or have you buy stuff like God of War Collection with "HD graphics!" when the original PS3 upscaled games, making God of War 2, for example, look gorgeous.

It isn't just PlayStation 3 owners – all gamers want backwards compat. Xbox 360 owners like being able to play Halo 2 or Knights of the Old Republic, for instance, while Wii owners? They can play all GameCube games right from the start (though maybe there's a reason for that.)

$100 PS3 price drop did it for me: 9%
Restore PS2 back compat: 32%
Drop game prices by $10: 24%
Give PS4 release date: 12%
Another PS3 price cut: 15%
Drop PSP Go price by $100: 8%
