I'm interested what this free download for each 50th user to use the new store will be.

pandabear5885d ago

Indeed,

'every 50th visitor will be able to download a hidden application or game'

Lets hope it's an aplication by the name of Home!!!!

Which would make it a half closed, half open beta of sorts lol

darkness within5885d ago

Well lets hope some of us time it right to be a 50th user and be in for a supprise...hopefully.

Korosuke5884d ago

PSN card for 3,000 yen(about 30dollars)

Milky5884d ago

It has to be home. WHat else ?

sonarus5884d ago

home for every 50th user will leave some shafted

Mystery_Person5884d ago

I want GTA IV and HOME!! I would keep the PS store the way it looks like right now if it got me GTA IV and/or HOME.

in-game XMB or messaging. Also, cant wait to try out the new PS Store.

SPARTAAN5885d ago

didnt they confirm that in-game xmb will be in Firmware 2.40

Tempist5884d ago

I'm betting this update will have a part in releasing Home.

MaximusPrime5884d ago

not going to happen. Sony did not announce anything about that yet.

There are some games with ingame messaging so im fine with that.

NewYork2145885d ago

probably going to be like joust or qbert for free lol. next Thursday's update is going to be crazy.

just to name a few-

operation: broken mirror for warhawk
gran turismo 5 prologue
pixel junk monsters expansion(not 100% sure on this one)
3 weeks worth of rock band content.

Fishy Fingers5885d ago

Guess the new look store requires a fireware update to function.

Please, don't get your hopes up for Home/XMB, your only setting yourself up for disappointment.

Kleptic5884d ago

They confirmed the new store to be a running application from the XMB now...and not run off of the web browser as the current store does...so it will have better moving flash stuff, be faster, and finally have a search feature (which was pointless anyway until recently, but the store does have a fair amount of content to a new owner now)...

and yeah...this probably has nothing on Home...Sony has no idea what is happening with that...SCEE is heading it up, so it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone anyway...there are still rumors of an April 18th beta release...but I will be extremely surprised if that happens even this summer...my guess is a beta by the end of the year...

mindedone5884d ago

I thought that they confirmed that the new store will NOT have a search feature (which is stupid, really.)

kai_h5884d ago

Well, at least there's a "View All Alphabetically" Function which would work somewhat like a search function, just not as fast.

SL1M DADDY5884d ago

No need to get our hopes up only to be let down again. As for the next update, I am excited to see what they have done with the Store. It looked great in the pics early on and now with no use for the "mouse pointer", thats great news.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5095d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5095d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5095d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495095d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5095d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5095d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
