All PS3 games are universal via HDMI.

PAL PS1 games won't play on my model of 720p HDTV, though.

Strange, I have a NTSC PS3 but use my PAL account to buy some games, all my PAL PS1 games work at 720p via HDMI on my TV. ( Based in the UK btw )

 

[SappYoda]

PS1 PAL games play at 50Hz.

The PS3 upscales to 720p@50Hz and 1080p@50Hz not 60Hz.

If you want to play PAL PS1 games on your PS3, your TV needs to support progressive 50 Hz HD resolutions.

Or if your don't use HDMI you can play the games with 576i@50Hz if your TV supports PAL.

 

[Speevy]

( Based in the UK btw )

That's why.

 

[Chris_C]

What're y'all most hoping for in UMD Legacy?

DAXTER, for Christ's sake, Daxter already!

This is why UK PS1 games suck the worse. At least other regions play in most regional TV's.

 

[kassatsu]

Did japan update with ps1 games? I am on a plane right now and I chat check.

 

[Kagari]

Did japan update with ps1 games? I am on a plane right now and I chat check.

I will check.

Edit: Nope.

 

[Rolf NB]

What're y'all most hoping for in UMD Legacy?

I'd love to see R-Type Command (aka R-Type Tactics) on the store.

 

[Dragon]

Did japan update with ps1 games? I am on a plane right now and I chat check.

Haha you're truly dedicated dude! Simply amazing.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Anyone want to sell me on a Tokobots download? I've been tempted for awhile now due to the low price and gameplay videos seem fun

 

[sol_bad]

Correct me if im wrong but I think you can play PAL games on an NTSC system if you use an HDTV via hdmi. If you have an SDTV, you cant.

I have NTSC, NTSC/J and PAL PS1 games from all 3 stores on my PS3 and all games work. Just set your video options to automatic and see how you go.

 

[jvm]

I'd love to see R-Type Command (aka R-Type Tactics) on the store.

I still haven't played the demo. Someday, someday...

DAXTER, for Christ's sake, Daxter already!

Adding to my shame, I've never played a Jak & Daxter (or just Daxter?) game.

I do think that the Pinball Hall of Fame games for download would be a real treat. I don't think they did particularly well at retail (and PSP probably worst of all), but I bet they'd get a decent bump at $10 on the PS Store.

I can't recall how it works, if it were ever said. Are UMD Legacy games subject to bandwidth fees too?

 

[Speevy]

The Japanese Playstation Store has Zeus 2 Carnage Heart, which I thought was already released.

Well I guess the Japanese PS Store is saving me money now.

 

[amodf]

awesome update japan, one whole game, Carnage Heart Zeus 2.

thanks for everything

 

[Adam Prime]

Is there a price on Bomberman?

 

[Vard]

Is there a price on Bomberman?

Nope, and this is Hudson Soft's first PSN game so who knows. My guess is $10 - same as Blast for WiiWare.

 

[Benedict]

Nope, and this is Hudson Soft's first PSN game so who knows. My guess is $10 - same as Blast for WiiWare.

I think it was 800 MS points on XBLA so I guess $10 is what it's going to be

 

[Nakazato]

Is it just me or has psn been really fucking slow since E3 ?

Pics of the Team Ico LBP costumes.
There will also be a bunch of stickers and sound effects.

- Ico
- Yorda
- Wander
- Gaius
- Quadratus

 

[Chû Totoro]

I'll buy team ICO LBP's costume pack because... well because I love their games but I wish there would be more content like new levels.

And Burnout pack is 12.99€... come on 12.99$ = 9.3€ 9.99€ would have been perfect (I'll buy it too anyway... but I hate you Criterion/EA)

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

No levels in the Team Ico pack makes me

 

[Darkpen]

the fact that its not a level pack makes me sad

 

[Dead Prince]

No one saw the cuboid post on the PS.blog? Cuboid DLC coming tomorrow

First up is the Cuboid Booster Pack, which contains 33 new levels that will test even the best players’ skills, rewarding you with new trophies. This pack will cost you just $2.99.

Option number two is the Cuboid Level Editor where you become the level designer and challenge others with your own custom levels. Players can either create a brand new level from scratch, or improve upon any existing level, created by other players or taken from the original campaigns. User-created levels can be uploaded to PSN where they will be made available to other players (who have downloaded the free patch). Players can also earn trophies for creating their own levels, and for rating the levels created by others. The Cuboid Level Editor will cost $3.99.

And finally, for those of you who tend to be either indecisive, or just want it all, the Cuboid Bundle Pack includes both the Booster Pack (33 new levels) and the Level Editor. And how much will all of this additional Cuboid goodness cost, you might ask? You can get the Bundle Pack for the low, low price of just $4.99! How can you go wrong?

I'd go with the bundle pack as it's $2 cheaper rather than just buying one DLC and decide later you want the other!

 

[F#A#Oo]

What we know so far.

You forgot to include MotorStorm DLC...

 

[Crisis]

I'm buying the Ico stuff but Yorda looks kind of weird.

 

[kassatsu]

The Japanese Playstation Store has Zeus 2 Carnage Heart, which I thought was already released.

Well I guess the Japanese PS Store is saving me money now.

I think before that game was PS3 only. This one is PSP/PS3?

 

[kassatsu]

NOW UP!
/!\ Updates throughout the week.

GAMES

► PSOne (¥600)
○ ZEUS II CARNAGE HEART

ADD-ONS

► Idolmaster SP (PSP)
○ New Content Available

 

[Plinko]

I look forward to seeing the PS1 release this week.

One week until Metal Gear Solid!

 

[KZObsessed]

<3 Yorda <3

Will buy KZ2 map pack.

 

[BeeDog]

You forgot to include MotorStorm DLC...

Wait just a minute, you sure it's coming tomorrow?

 

[Lindsay]

So MGS this week for scammo pricing huh~? Still not sold on digital "ownership" but I have rented a couple movies from the video store for the first time recently. Thats a start I guess?

btw no demos live from E3 last week sucked!

No one saw the cuboid post on the PS.blog? Cuboid DLC coming tomorrow


I'd go with the bundle pack as it's $2 cheaper rather than just buying one DLC and decide later you want the other!

Incase no ones re-read it this stuffs got delayed a week or two due to bugs/patches/etc!

 

[levious]

I look forward to seeing the PS1 release this week.

we start casually making statements like this and the monkey will get vengeful...

 

[vazel]

Really disappointed in no levels in the LBP pack but it's still a definite buy. I foresee lots of online gaming again so I can show off the costumes.

Edit: Haha you can see a little Wander in that last Colossus costume.

 

[iapetus]

This is why US TVs suck the worse.

Fixed. US games work in PAL land because most TVs there support NTSC.

 

[Goldrusher]

Wait just a minute, you sure it's coming tomorrow?

I thought he was talking about yet another livery pack.

 

[F#A#Oo]

The livery pack ofcourse...

I want Brave Story and Yggdra Union please. Those games weren't released in Europe and the PSN Store would be the best place for me to get them

 

[Blablurn]

can't wait for vidzone. come on, sony. hurry up!

 

[snap0212]

What's the deal with Qore. Seems like I can't subscribe now (can I?)... do I have to wait for the next episode to buy a subscription?

 

[iapetus]

Euro update confirmed for 3pm UK time, 4pm Europe time with Vidzone.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Anyone know that today is the PS Blog's second b-day?

Time flies.

 

[Blablurn]

Euro update confirmed for 3pm UK time, 4pm Europe time with Vidzone.

[Plinko]

So MGS this week for scammo pricing huh~?

I believe MGS isn't coming until next week.

 

[Norml]

Will that Vidzone work with a Euro account in USA?

 

[Philanthropist]

Yay, looking forward to the European update! (for once in weeks)

 

[eznark]

Any chance Fat Princess comes out today?

 

[Shurs]

Any chance Fat Princess comes out today?

NPD's, Burnout Island, KZ2 maps and Fat Princess on the same day? My brain would melt.
