Hello everyone, this weeks update is up and it is time for more of my rambling about the releases. The Capcom sale continues this week, with Super Puzzle Fighter getting a price drop. Also, there is a bundle for the first two Penny Arcade games, right in time for PAX East, which is in a few weeks. We have 3 demos and no new releases this week. A few DLC packs for MLB 10 The Show for any lazy players out there. As well as the second installment of Resident Evil 5 DLC. Video fans, enjoy a new episode of Pulse and the Tester, oddly enough no new Qore this week, but it should most likely be here next week. Nothing too special on the PS3 end. On the PSP front, we have 4 new releases this week, including both of the 2010 baseball games. 5 new minis also dropped, which all have acceptable pricing. A good update for Go owners. Interesting to see a shift like this, hopefully next week brings even more good stuff. Full release list available after the break. See you all next week. UPDATE: We’ve heard you and confirmed that yes, there is an issue with certain Heavy Rain DLC vouchers. We’re looking into the issue and will update this post when we have a resolution. Hi Everyone – It’s time for the weekly PlayStation Store Update.
