European PSN releases for January 29th

by Jem Alexander { Jan 29th 2009 at 3:23PM }

Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars finally got released in Europe today after weeks of delays. There's also a decent bunch of downloadable content, including a bumper selection of LittleBigPlanet goodies. If you're feeling particularly masochistic you can also grab the Final Fantasy XIII trailer -- just be warned that 2010 may feel as if it's never coming once you see it.

Choose your platform to view the corresponding release list:

PS3 / PSP

(Note: Continue past the break to view both release lists.)

Playable Content

Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars full game (£7.99/€9.99)

I saw "Crash Commando maps" and instantly got excited for a map pack DLC, but alas, it's only a theme. :( I'll still get it, though I doubt it will replace the awesome KZ2 theme that's been up for a while.

SuperSonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered battle cars was actually a demo, it was a mistake.

FINAL FANTASY XIII TRAILER!!!

centrinoduo91 @ Jan 29th 2009 3:44PM

unless i havn't read it properly, you've not mentioned the fact that SCEE have full on fucked up again. basically, poeple where paying £7.99 for a demo. so now everyone who bought it has to ring up and get a refund.... well done SCEE...

oh it's also been taken off the store for now...

Syn @ Jan 29th 2009 3:55PM

Grab your signs and protest, It works in France.

Divine @ Jan 29th 2009 4:10PM

I don't see any Ape Escape costume...

Josh @ Jan 29th 2009 4:39PM

No Ape Escape or Toro costume btw.

Joystiq PlayStation lies!

prodigy69 @ Jan 29th 2009 5:10PM

they're not lying...they've been taken down for some reason.

probably because they're not worth £1.59 and should be free.

DaveThunder @ Jan 30th 2009 12:21AM

They've taken them down because the release date for them is supposed to be next week perhaps...

webberfan @ Jan 29th 2009 4:40PM

God of war LBP level and noone has said a word?......what's up with that?

Neptune @ Jan 29th 2009 4:47PM

Apparently it isn't a level pack, but a level creation kit of some sorts

willxcore @ Jan 29th 2009 4:59PM

It is almost guaranteed that the US store won't be getting Buzz Master Quiz as a full downloadable title for PSP. I have bought a few PSP games over the last week or two and I'm happy with all my purchases but life would be so much easier if I could just buy them from the PS Store instead of having to swap UMD discs.

SolidOtacon @ Jan 29th 2009 5:07PM

Really happy with FFXIII trailer (!!!)

The Dark Trooper @ Jan 29th 2009 5:46PM

Aside from the fact the LBP Costumes have been live since Tuesday.... Which I emailed PS3Fanboy about.... Was hoping for the Killzone 2 Demo though....

*Grumbles*

Bahamut44-4 @ Jan 29th 2009 5:58PM

The Toro and Ape Escape costumes are for next week, SCEE mistakenly put them up and quickly took them down again, I wasn't quick enough to get them though... :(

Another great balls up from SCEE.

Bahamut44-4 @ Jan 29th 2009 7:04PM

Edit: Toro and Ape Escape are for 2 weeks time, not next week like I previously wrote. They've still been taken down though. :P

nakedatthecomp @ Jan 29th 2009 7:04PM

NA updates are getting effing ridiculous! they're getting 30 minutes later every single week. soon it's going to be Friday! Come on SCEA!!!! what's taking so long?!

ps3smileybob @ Jan 29th 2009 9:15PM

To be honest the only decent thing i've seen in the past few weeks on the European store was the Skate2 demo. I'm not even checking it every Thursday anymore and I'm seriously hardcore PS3, i haven't spent nearly 4K since release day for the abismalis (?) that is Sony Computer Entertainment Europe for nothing....or have I?

CarlFromBelgium @ Jan 30th 2009 1:28AM

I checked the store yesterday evening, and for a second week in a row there were no full PS3 games on sale in Belgium! Once again, two 'high price' PSP games, trailers, Rock Band/Guitar Hero stuff, and for LBP only the Kratos costume and the God of War pack (no Ape or Toro to be seen). And Penny Arcade Adventures is still not available here...

I checked everything that was "under the spotlight", and it is ironic that the only 'full price' games for the PS3 are found on spot 49 and 50 in the Belgian Store : Mahjong Tales and Savage Moon.

It is getting ridiculous!
