NA PlayStation Store Refresh: 2 October, 2012
The North American PlayStation Store has officially been refreshed.
Every week, we share what new games are newly available for PS3, Vita, and sometimes PSP. Full PS3 disc-based games often turn into digital downloads, new PSN titles from respected long running franchises as well as indie gems, and minis for days.
Vita owners rejoice: the river of legacy content is flowing once again! I was afraid that we may have been forgotten after last week’s store update. Today, North America is receiving a hefty dose of Square and Capcom games for PS One Classics on Vita, including Pocket Fighters which was previously exclusive to PS3 and not playable on PSP.
Day 1 Digital offers up pre-order discounts to PS Plus subscribers. Score future releases like Need For Speed: Most Wanted or DOOM 3 BFG Edition at a 10% discount. And if you’re in the mood to crush some spines in a little pigskin, start downloading NFL Blitz for free right now. Get Spelunker HD at half off and all its DLC for $1.
Its time to get pumped for Assassin’s Creed III, as the PS Store is now accepting pre-orders with three (I see what you did there) variants to choose from: PS3 standard, PS3 Gold Edition (includes DLC Season Pass), and PS3 Gold Edition (includes DLC Season Pass) + Vita Liberation. Buy that last one and you more than just earned yourself a $20 credit from Sony’s “spend $100, get $20” deal for the month of October. Lastly, there’s now Sonic – Resident – Harry – Basketball – into Dreams for your hard drive consumption.
