This is probably the best update in a while. I hope Suikoden sales go well enough that they put Suikoden 2 up there (even though I already own it. It's still an awesome game that I hope more people get the opportunity to play).
Gambit07 @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:31PM
I have a sealed copy of Suikoden II ;)
Fade2blac @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:28PM
Do you not get any costumes if you buy the MGS level pack?
Ilya @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:54PM
Yeah, you get a "guard" costume.
Spam @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:32PM
You get Soldier costumes, I believe. Which soldiers, I can't remember, but they're there anyway.
Jerses @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:33PM
i was going to buy the level pack...but 12 dlls for them :S thats pretty expensive. wont buy. Who gets the paintgun? the characters or the level pack?
Abe @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:41PM
Yeah you get the Gerlokovich soldier. :)
fallenchecho @ Dec 23rd 2008 8:59PM
the Gurlukovich soldier.
nakedatthecomp @ Dec 23rd 2008 11:46PM
I just downloaded the level pack, but I don't know where to "get to" those levels, and I can't see any special guard costume in-game either... and I just downloaded the 1.07 patch. wtf!
Popfrogs @ Dec 24th 2008 1:57AM
@naked and the rest of you who may be confused, instead of Story or Community, pick the Store at the bottom. You'll see a new icon on the Store planet for the MGS levels, pick it and play.
Haohmaru @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:30PM
SUIKODEN GET. I haven't played that game in something like 10 years. Glad to see SCEA at least -starting- to get on the ball with PSone releases.
Gambit07 @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:30PM
High Five!
Aran @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:31PM
What happened to Nick Doerr?
Journalism is fun! @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:33PM
Is Suikoden a good game? I've never really played any turn-based RPGs; I just beat Eternal Arms and enjoyed it, although I got bored at times. It was pretty much the first turn-based RPG I've ever played.
Levi @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:48PM
I've never played Suidoken, but I have a couple suggestions. Final Fantasy Tactics is a classic. If you have a DS, Advance Wars is simple but really really fun.
CLupula @ Dec 23rd 2008 7:57PM
Suikoden is a good game. The sequels, with the exception of the awful 4, are better, but it's only $6, so you should try it out. Plus, the sequels feature characters from the other games in the series, so it's good to start at the beginning, even though, you, technically, don't have to.
mooseinabox @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:35PM
Whoo! Can't wait to get my paws on that MGS LBP DLC! Too bad I have to wait until Christmas for a PSN Card. *sniffle*
Simstim @ Dec 24th 2008 10:15AM
I'm broke from christmas shopping but I'll be picking of the LBP DLC in Jan along with Savage Moon and maybe a few other PSN titles.
That Suikoden offer is quite the deal, if I didn't already on it I'd get it
lee @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:35PM
hey ps3fanboy can you confirm if the mgs pack is delayed for europe, ive been reading rumors that it is
i wouldnt be supprised if it was :|
Abe @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:42PM
Pretty sure the EU store updates on Thursday and the LBP dlc will be there according to MM.
C-Onor @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:48PM
i thought it wouldnt be released on thursday as is usual, because of christmas. they put LBP DLC out 2 days early coz of thanksgiving day
Asg @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:36PM
You get the paintball gun with the level pack. The costume pack is just that... costumes. If you want all the metal gear solid content (levels, parts, trophies, etc.) just get the level pack and don't worry about costumes
FamedNemesis @ Dec 23rd 2008 10:38PM
the trophies come with a patch, had them since yesterday. Just an fyi :)
KINGSNOOPY26 @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:36PM
well their you have it lumines
ice~ @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:38PM
ARG! Wheres the LBP dlc?! =(
Drew @ Dec 23rd 2008 8:24PM
/sarcasm... right? RIGHT?
ice~ @ Dec 24th 2008 2:49PM
Nope, i just couldnt find it for some reason......
mckilling @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:39PM
Are the American and Canadian PSN stores updated at the same time. I don't see Lumines anywhere on the stote
aaron @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:54PM
same
i dont see it on my cdn ps3 :(
Ahda @ Dec 23rd 2008 7:40PM
I saw it in Canadian Store, downloading right now.
Levi @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:38PM
ehh, was hoping for a #10 Lumines. I'll still buy it, I hear it's a great game.
CalvinW @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:40PM
Bikina Photo Shoot theme (Your self respect)
Ha ha, I can live with that! :)
Rodz @ Dec 23rd 2008 7:01PM
What about the supposed Wipeout HD price drop???
James @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:46PM
Re: EU delay. The AU Playstation Store tends to mirror the EU store... and their website states the content will be available 24th Dec. http://au.playstation.com/news/2008/lbpmgs.jhtml
DeathroW @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:49PM
The content for europe has not been delayed, just our store update is on wednesday instead.
Extinction @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:50PM
Fsck. I wanted the costumes and the trophies, why are they separate?
Kratos @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:52PM
Is the update not available in Canada yet? :(
lantus @ Dec 23rd 2008 6:54PM
Just bought Lumines Supernova, and it's as awesome as ever. Said it many times before, best puzzle game since Tetris. Plan on getting Suikoden and LBP MGS4 content over Christmas break, I love you Sony! ^_^
redrox4 @ Dec 23rd 2008 9:39PM
HAHA SWEET IMA GET THE DARK KNIGHT THEMES!
Highbird @ Dec 23rd 2008 7:13PM
Holy crap! Disgaea add-on stuff!! I didn't think they were gonna have DLC for it!! Awesome! I'm probably the only Disgaea owner in the US though! :P
ultimateidiot911 @ Dec 23rd 2008 7:15PM
Dude, you're not alone. I love Disgaea 3. The first thing I said was Wow to the Disgaea DLC. I knew it was coming but didn't know when, in fact, I was thinking about it today.
CLupula @ Dec 23rd 2008 8:00PM
Same here. I love Disgaea. Been spreading the word to my friends, so you're not alone.
eli314 @ Dec 23rd 2008 7:16PM
Suikoden 1?...sweet!
nickux @ Dec 23rd 2008 7:39PM
anyone try out the LoTR: Conquest demo yet?
Fane @ Dec 23rd 2008 7:48PM
Not yet. Still at work. Soon.
Is it strange that, in this week of riches, I'm most excited about this demo?
Yema Latify @ Dec 23rd 2008 7:43PM
Interesting, another week, another PS1 game from Konami...please say Metal Gear Solid is next?
John @ Dec 23rd 2008 7:47PM
Just finished off LBP MGS levels, and gotta say, only really two levels to really sink teeth in to, BUT, the items will unlock a whole new level of fun I think, once people start building levels with guns and new triggers. Funny storyline with the MGS levels though...
Interesting that the music and levels were delivered with the 1.07 update... the MGS download is only a megabyte in size.
Marius @ Dec 23rd 2008 8:27PM
People better start creating levels now cuz that gun is loads of fun
slycooper_rocker [anti-panda death murder squadron force five] @ Dec 23rd 2008 10:17PM
i finished my cod:waw level a loooong time ago. i just went back and put a paint gun where reznov says "pick up the mosin-nagant and shoot the guards" and now all the germans have paint switches on them so they die after being shot 5 times. a french guy sent me a message asking where i got the cool gun and then hearted my level. :)
i love the level pack.
slycooper_rocker [anti-panda death murder squadron force five] @ Dec 24th 2008 3:17AM
i thought the download was more like a voucher to let you access the levels online. because you have to go to the store section and then go to the levels from there.
