PlayStation Store News, PlayStation Store Features

Add to basket

We desperately want to love the new PlayStation Store on the PlayStation 3. The redesign – which was introduced in customary calamitous fashion late last year – promised a prompter, prettier shopping experience. There’s no doubt that it delivered on the latter, with large ic

Well, sort of

You’ll be able to reinvest your hard earned cash into the PlayStation Store a little bit quicker from now on, as Sony has released a patch for the overhauled online plaza that makes browsing through its menus somewhat swifter. Sadly, the update doesn’t fix the outrageous start up time, leaving you with plenty of opportunity to...

All change

After a fairly lengthy delay, the new-look PlayStation Store has finally launched in North America. The updated digital storefront comes with a range of snazzy features, including improved content filtering, better organisation, and a dynamic search engine. You’ll be prompted to download the glossy makeover when

Queues cause chaos

This is all rather exciting, isn’t it? Depending on where in Europe you reside, you might already have access to the new PlayStation Store. We’ve been checking from our UK account all morning, but we still see the classic blue storefront. Apparently, Sony is in the process of rolling out the redesign across the continent as we...

Face lift

If you were getting tired of the PlayStation 3’s clunky old store-front, then we’ve got good news for you – the entire portal is getting a makeover from 17th October in Europe and 23rd October in North America. The overhauled look – announced at a London press event earlier today – will bring with it a host of new features and...

Someone in marketing is going to be in hot water

An image taken from the PSN Store shows that Sony Europe is advertising its PlayStation Plus service - which normally costs £29.99 for an annual subscription - for just £22.49. The advert for the service, which gives access to exclusive features such as free games and discounts on downloads,...

Still lagging behind Europe, though

Sony's 1.80 update for the Vita brought with it a large selection of PlayStation classics for European players, but those in North America were left feeling a little glum by the somewhat paltry selection they received. Thankfully, it looks as if Sony is listening to the complaints, as it has quietly added some...

Bad news for North Americans

Yesterday was the day that North American PlayStation 3 owners should have been able to relive classic GTA title Grand Theft Auto III. We say should have been, because sadly the game failed to appear in the PlayStation Store weekly update. Sony has announced that this was due to music licensing problems. PlayStation...

Now there's no excuse

Move showpiece Sports Champions is one of those must-have games for motion fans, but if you haven't had chance to pick it up on Blu-ray you might want to check out the PlayStation Store this week. Zindagi's compilation will hit the North American PlayStation Store tomorrow for an as-yet unspecified price. Considering you can...

Get fit for a bit

With so many Move games out at the moment it's good to see Sony choosing to promote most of them with free demos on the PlayStation Store, a handful of new demos now available to download for free. You can choose to burn some calories with a spot of Move Fitness (908MB), get the family together for some Start the Party: Save the...

Cheap enough for you?

Long-anticipated mascot mash-up PlayStation Move Heroes may have disappointed for its $39.99 price tag, but if you're a PlayStation Store user you can save yourself a fair chunk of change on the game now. The game just dropped to a new permanent price of $19.99, a very welcome 50% off the original sale price. Does this new low...

Are you dead enough?

Eagerly anticipated Move-exclusive adventure Medieval Moves: Deadmund's Quest is just a couple of weeks away, but you get your chance to play it this week as a free demo is due to land on the PlayStation Store. The North American shop should update tomorrow with a playable trial of Zindagi's undead action game. We're not sure...

Cheap Cole

PSN vampire download inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood is out soon, and you can pre-order it from the PlayStation Store now for just $9.99. PlayStation Plus members can get a further reduction on the price, bringing it down to a rather good $7.99. Remember you don't need either of the original inFAMOUS games to play Festival of Blood, but...

You know you want to

We nearly missed this little downloadable demo in the European PlayStation Store, but nothing gets by us here at Movemodo, so we're happy to let you know you can download a free demo of DanceStar Party, known as Everybody Dance in North America. The full game is out in just a few weeks, but if you can't wait then this trial...

Release date 'coming soon'

It seems like a long, long time since we first encountered Dungeon Defenders: in fact, it first hit our radars back in December 2010, and it's been six months since we interviewed the DunDef team. The game's road to release is nearing its final stop though, as Trendy Entertainment has announced we'll hear about a release...

Want in? Cough up.

Innovative Move shooter Dust 514 takes place in the world of EVE Online, and although the game is free to play you'll still have to pay to download it. Developer CCP confirmed you'll have to pay a "cover charge" to get in, which will be refunded to you as in-game credits. In the beginning you have to pre-buy credits, so...

Movin’ back into action

The Japanese PlayStation Network has been unavailable ever since the initial outage months ago, and while the North America and European territories kicked back into action over a month ago, Japan’s network was still left out in the dark. All that change today as Japans PlayStation Network kicked back into full swing, and...

After a long and torturous rate, the Japanese arm of the PlayStation Store has finally released

The service was taken down after the infamous PSN outage earlier in the year, and has been held at ransom by the Japanese government ever since. But it's back now, meaning those of us in the West can hop online and finally find out what that bonkers El Shaddai game is all about...

According to reports popping up all over the Internet this afternoon, Sony is "quietly testing" a major overhaul for the PlayStation Store behind closed doors

The redesign will supposedly declutter the store-front with what's described as "an aesthetic layout with logically marked sections and rolodex lists" according to Reg Hardware. The revamped PlayStation Store will also include a new..
