*notices SCIV DLC with 1.50$ price tag*

i am displeased.

i'm guessing that's how we're getting yoda then.

Averna @ Jul 31st 2008 11:11PM

Only out a day and $15US worth of DLC.... Not a good sign.

Equipment packs should be free... Take a page from MGS4 ffs.

ps3 rules @ Jul 31st 2008 5:55PM

anyways great update it really is looking better every update and with home beta updated too im gonna have a great end of the summer :D gaming wise that is !

Dan Davis @ Jul 31st 2008 6:43PM

Is there any chance that in the near future the "first comment" post will come full circle and be considered cool again?

Or am I completely wrong in thinking that it was ever cool to begin with???

Lars @ Aug 1st 2008 1:15PM

It was only cool when comment systems were introduced. It will never be cool again, because in actuality it's pretty stupid.

RagingStormX @ Jul 31st 2008 5:55PM

FaceBreaker and Madden demo.....nice, I've been waiting to try out FaceBreaker :)

bluefrog @ Jul 31st 2008 5:55PM

I was expecting the "Life with Playstation" thing to be released today as well, being the last day of the month and all. Guess it'll be out in August.

The Aggie CEO @ Jul 31st 2008 6:27PM

yea I was too..........

guess itwill be in a firmware update after all

dave @ Jul 31st 2008 5:57PM

VeganTnT @ Jul 31st 2008 5:57PM

Already got one trophy in PJE!

PSN: VeganTnT

VeganTnT @ Jul 31st 2008 7:27PM

Bah!
I lost out on the ten minute grimp trophy because I got a text from the fiance and paused the game. I went back to the game and hit x and it quit the game! Why is there no confirmation!?

=( this is going to be one of games that I love even though it infuriates me. I can just tell

maxpontiac @ Jul 31st 2008 5:58PM

I wonder what the equipment pack add-on is on SCIV???

John S @ Jul 31st 2008 5:59PM

I wanna leave work already and buy/play eden. The demos interest me as well. Pretty good update to me.

Why do people want Life with PS so bad? Isn't it just a way to check the weather? Doesn't sound like that big of a deal tbh.

Eggy @ Jul 31st 2008 6:13PM

Hey what else is there to whine about?

rainking187 @ Jul 31st 2008 6:20PM

I agree. It sounds like a combo of the weather and news channels the Wii has that no one ever uses. I'm downloading Eden now, and I'll probably get the Facebreaker demo as well. Anyone know if the Soul Calibur IV DLC is the same as the bonus stuff that comes with the Premium Edition?

Hostile @ Jul 31st 2008 6:09PM

PixelJunk Eden is a no go for me until it shows up at a special price. I want it but it sucks knowing a special price for PixelJunk Eden will show up sooner or later. Every dollar counts.

XeroKool @ Jul 31st 2008 6:26PM

I agree. I'll pick it up when its five bucks.

Kodros @ Jul 31st 2008 7:53PM

"Every dollar counts."

So you bought a $400-$600 game console and you're holding out on a $5 price drop...

oldmike @ Jul 31st 2008 7:58PM

he got the cheepist Blu-ray player out there at the time
i am doing the same with star dust HD

NipGrip @ Jul 31st 2008 6:10PM

Grabbing Eden right now of course. Add me. Let's compare our trophies like pals.

PSN: NipGrip

frankym @ Jul 31st 2008 6:12PM

PJE is good, however this seems more like a PSP game to me.

Not really into the artsy fartsy games.

Mattchewie @ Jul 31st 2008 6:12PM

wish siren had trophies dammit!

The_Punisher @ Jul 31st 2008 6:22PM

About to play Eden

I know you guys wish you were me, so PSN = NACHO

Michael @ Jul 31st 2008 6:46PM

I'm downloading PJE as we speak. I totally dig this game. This will go nice with my Super StarDust HD trophy collection. Add me if you want: MVTorres805

Kristian Freeman @ Jul 31st 2008 6:56PM

Just starting Pixeljunk, add me on PSN @ kristian_freeman

Haohmaru @ Jul 31st 2008 6:57PM

Wish they'd step up the PSone releases. Still waiting for Suikoden!

Julian @ Jul 31st 2008 7:01PM

Is it me or is the Youtube Uploading EXTREMELY slow. I don';t mean when uploading from the Ps3, but for it to actually appear on youtube, i uploaded a video awhile ago and its still not on my account

franoculator @ Aug 1st 2008 3:33PM

It usually takes a number of minutes for the video to be converted, post-upload, for presentation on youtube. This is normal.

Vii @ Jul 31st 2008 7:42PM

I entirely agree about Eden. Amazing game that is simple in its concept and yet still significantly challenging.

John @ Jul 31st 2008 7:55PM

I've been looking forward to getting Eden, but now I can't connect to the PSN? WTF is going on?

PS3ENAIHUBAVO @ Jul 31st 2008 8:09PM

LIFE With PLAYSTATION also adds the ability to upload game videos to youtube. It's not just the weather.

NwrksBigBoss @ Jul 31st 2008 11:16PM

How come no one mentions SnakeBall am i the only one who saw it in the store?

Lars @ Aug 1st 2008 1:17PM

It's an old game that's been there forever (well, maybe 6 months). I don't know why it suddenly popped up to the top of the store yesterday... maybe there is a new expansion?

tom @ Jul 31st 2008 11:46PM

I think it's promising to see SC4 DLC, unless it's this thing that was on the collectors edition...

will @ Aug 1st 2008 11:15AM

is it possible to unlock equipment through playing the game, or do you have to buy everything?

i'm finding the equipment quite limiting; i can't have high stats and abilities and still have a mostly naked girl to play. i hope i can unlock more crap.

Aarrowgant @ Aug 1st 2008 1:07PM

Yes- you can unlock a ton of crap. Guys and gals have different stuff to unlock just by gaining exp on characters in the single player modes. If you go to the tower there are additional conditions which also gets you some booty- pay attention to the hints. In about 2 hours of gameplay I unlocked at least 30 pieces of equiptment. (you can also unlock several weapons for each person too).
