Weekly Playstation Store Update thread

So will the peolpe who downloaded qore in single episodes get the beta or do you think it will be for the annual qore peeps, and the pepole who filled in online forum site about 6 weeks ago . Hopefully not long really looking foward to this dont know why never played first one :)

Check your USA account's e-mail, I guess. As far as I know you get same benefits from buying single or annual subs, bar the free Calling All cars game and the price difference.

Heya, it’s been a while since I’ve been seen around these parts as James Stevenson, Bryan Intihar and the others at Insomniac have been doing most of the Resistance 2 posting as of late. Along with my return to the blog, I bring a few announcements with regards to R2:
Today, October 16th, the public beta for Resistance 2 will begin in North America. The beta will offer gamers a glimpse at Resistance 2’s online competitive and co-op modes ahead of the game’s launch on November 4th. We will be admitting players in two waves: a Premiere wave which includes those that pre-ordered at GameStop, individuals who subscribed to QORE for one year and/or bought the episode featuring Resistance 2 and a recent contest from GamePro.com. Those of you in the Premiere wave should be receiving an email with a registration code between now and tomorrow afternoon. A second wave is starting in the middle of next week, and you apply to be a part of it by going to beta.myresistance.net once the site goes live (later tonight). For those of you across the pond in Europe, the public beta will also begin next week.
The Beta will include competitive maps from three locations in the game. These maps include 60-, 40-, and 20-player maps from Orick, 40- and 20-player maps from Chicago, and the 10-Player map Sub Docks (Bay Area). New modes Skirmish and Core control will be supported, along with Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. The co-op portion of the beta will focused on Orick, and will support randomization of your play-path. Both co-op and competitive will support matchmaking and class/character progression up to level 10. This will allow unlocking of new equipment, upgrades and berserks for character customization.
Speaking of beta.myresistance.net, the beta version of our new community site goes live tonight as well. Customizable leader boards/user profiles, individual blogs and ‘ticker’ that provides players with up to minute information of happenings on the site are just some of the features the beta site has to offer. Leading into the November 4th North American launch of the game (and the months to follow), we’ll be adding several more features that will make MyResistance.net the destination for all Resistance fans.
And, finally, Resistance 2 has gone gold. As a special treat, the below image gives all of you PlayStation Blog readers an idea on just how big just the online coop campaign mode is

That’s all for now. Keep your eyes open for more R2 announcements as we lead into launch. If you have any questions, write them in the comments sections and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Yeah, the prices for a lot of these PSN games seem to be a bit high. I nearly bought Megaman but thought that £7.99 was a bit much but add on all the extras and you're at nearly £15!!!:mad:

You could buy Ratchet and Clank or Devil May Cry 3 for that.
 
Will get Prince of Persia if it is cheaper on USA store later, might get on UK store if not, but seems pricey for an old game. Novastrike is already on USA store so will see which version is cheapest, £6.29 seems high.

Silly question - if you buy from a different store (is there ever any point from the JPN one?) can you play it as normal in your main account without trouble?

What about add-ons and online play?

You can play from any other accounts on your console, as long as the owner account stays on it. The Japan store has loads more PS1 games than USA and EU put together and some real classics. Also the Hong Kong store has a lot of these and some are in English!

Add-ons have to be bought from the same region as the main content. Online play is universal for all titles on PSN as far as I am aware (some games let you filter servers)
