Here we were, resting on our virtual
laurels, when SCEE goes and surprises us with an early PSN update. Not an awful one either. We're sad that the
DMC4 demo is missing, but also pleased that Europe has received
PixelJunk Monsters, technically, before America. What a strange mixture of feelings. Here's the full release list:
- PixelJunk Monsters full game (£3.49/?4.99)
- Judge Dredd PS1 game (£3.49/?4.99)
- CIV Revolution trailer (free)
- Call of Duty 4 PS3 theme (free)
- 5 Call of Duty 4 wallpapers (free)
As we continue to say, it's always nice to see PS1 games being released, but is
Judge Dredd really a PS1 classic? With
Vib Ribbon and
Klonoa hopefully on the way soon, things seemed to be looking up for the quality of PS1 games. But
Judge Dredd? We'll reserve judgment until we try it.

Well Judge Dredd is also a UK comics character which could be why they decided to offer this game in the UK/Europe.

Devil May Cry 4 Demo is up for download on the JAPAN PStore ,. downloading it now. (it's suppose to be english anyway)

Come on Sony, throw us a bone. This is all we get? An awful PS1 game, another pixeljunk game that'll keep your interest for five minutes (although some remote play, at last) and some dreadful wallpaper/theme?
How about a demo at least? Or some proper PS1 classics.

Jesus, Judge Dredd! I remember playing a demo of that way back, how depressing.
On a side note, vib ribbbon doesn't work on the PS3. I mean the disc based one, I have it and it won't work. That's annoying.

crisping: the pixeljunk game is the best yet.
i downloaded the demo from the JPSN last night and it's the best tower defense implementation i've played....evah.
2 player co-op too.
I'm thinking 5 weeks rather than 5 minutes.

Nice to see SCEA writting off all of January with poor updates - well, they have the 31st - but I wont hold my breath....!! sign :-(

I sincerely wish you guys would shut up about the EU vs US PSN crap. Shut up! No one cares. You speak the same language get the demo from the US one ok. Oh and I don't and never will care about you guys getting something first.
If technically getting pixel junk before america or any other better EU updates then US ones make you so happy then go beat off and be done with it.

I know this is 'kinda' ot, but with regard to the us psn vs eu psn vs jpn psn.....
In the history of gaming (mostly pstation) europe, has had to wait a lot longer to get games/demos released months ahead in the us (i remember waiting an age for certain titles on ps1/ps2 to come to theses shores, and with no chance of getting imported due to region coding restrictions).I think its nice that, for once, we seem to be getting the better end of the deal.what with Play tv here first, demos before the us, and games released here first as well, I think we should look at the bigger picture and thank Sony for giving us a break for once, i mean we even had to wait for the ps3 to be released here after being released in other territories first.
All that being said, the japanese have always, and always will get their games/consoles first cest la vie
