Just been on the UK PSN and if you go into the Video and Media section on the right hand side there is a link to a 'Super Stardust Demo & Upgrade'. Downloaded it and it seems to have updated my previous install and it now has Dual Shock 3 support along with custom soundtracks. Theres also an option to goto the Store where it lists a multplayer update and singleplayer update but neither are avaliable yet.

Apparently was put up on 29th November...

Cool.

I'd read about the multiplayer update coming, but not about DS3 support.
I'm not so interested in custom tracks, as I love the music in it already, really pushes you along.

I'll grab the DS3 update though, thanks for the headsup :)

Good excuse to dust off the game now, I've not played it for a while, don't know why, I loved it... too many top class full games to play through recently :)

EDIT: Just tried it, thanks again. Yeah, it updated my full version to v2.02. Added rumble, but also some other small differences I noticed after my quick test. The ship seems to have a different coloured glow (unless that was always there, and I just didn't notice) but 2. when those annoying "snake" things appear after a couple of levels, it makes a much more distinctive and louder sound now, so you know they're coming, rather than like before, when they'd sometimes catch me out.

Nice to see even the older PSN "little download games" still being supported, and getting updates too.

managed to clear the 1st planet "lava" after many attempts and now stuck on the 2nd, lol, this game certainly gets the blood pumping.

Keep going, it's well worth it.... especially when you've a few mates on your friends list who've played it, and you can keep an eye on each others score.

Really, keep at it, the levels get better and better (the ice levels being my personal favourite... and the gold melting ones.. erm.. all of it ;) )

Brilliant game, and gets furiously fast and tough later, but still more fun than frustrating!

(Yes, I LOVE old school shooters, and wish there were more)
 
Gonna get update now and make sure no-one has beaten my highscores!!

Edit: V1N how does this update thing work, as we got ours from the USA store?

Edit2: There is some changes in 2.02 (I just tried the demo)!! Off the top of my head, the ship glows different colour (Yellow instead of red), Rumble, addition of Online Store options, Custom Soundtracks (I can now listen to Heroes music whilst playing this!!). Also the fonts in the high score table ave changed and you can see total time played and other stats from the leaderboard
Gutted I can;t upgrade my USA copy and the USA store does not have this showing.:(

I'm afraid I can't help, as I got mine from the UK Store.

Yeah, I thought the ship was glowing a different colour! Didn't think I was just imagining it ;)

The sound when those snake like things come after you is definitely different too, gives you a real warning, instead of just appearing on the screen (and making me jump)

I've not played for a wee while, not beaten your high score... came close to mine again a few times, but not beaten it. I've forgotten what it is now? 83,000,000 or somewhere around that? Nowhere near your 130,000,000 ;)

I think your right the ship definately seems to have a different glow about it. Its a nice update, will be interesting to see what the mini expansions add though. Split screen co-op would be nice!

Shouldn't be too long until it appears on the US store, no doubt they will get the full updates long before the EU :p

There is graphical changes elsewhere as well, the bullets the boss at the end of 1st planet fires are different!

You've got a bit of a beefy score, it'll take a lot to beat, but it's just a question of keeping that bloody multiplier up. I never die to anything obvious, it's always a tiny bit of rock that I don't notice which catches me out!
The shield is my friend!

Never use the bombs. They add to the multiplier. I think I added some hints in the Stardust thread that phluf started somewhere. The score is beatable, like you I get careless at some point and lost the multiplier.

Actually, I'd imagine this being due to some of the more frantic levels, it can be hard to make out where you are, for the explosions and bullets everywhere. Even though I used to play it a lot, it could be easy to get lost for a second when the whole screen was erupting!

Great stuff, and this update'll give me reason to have another go.
