Playstation Store Update for October 23rd

Posted on

October 26, 2008

Sony has updated their store again this week with several exciting additions to the already healthy lineup. One of the most popular additions will most likely be Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One, but we feel that the $14.99 game price might be a bit too excessive for such a small title (215mb). However, Penny Arcade has a huge following and it shouldn’t really matter. The Playstation team has also included the downloadable Yoda character for Soul Caliber IV, which should appeal to many of the fans that wanted him to fight against Vader.
