The PSN update is in the Killzone

Killzone 3’s entire multiplayer mode is made available for download this week. Sweeter still is that Plus subscribers can nab it at half the price.

What perplexes me about this at all though is that Killzone really doesn’t have all that rabid a multiplayer fanbase to begin with. Was there really a call for the multiplayer mode to be sold separately? And a year after the game launched at retail? It just seems like odd timing- and while the price for Plussers is right ($7.50USD) that $14 tag for the rest of the PSN is a lil’ goofy seeing as the entire game can be had for around $20 used on Amazon.

Also this week, and a sight for sore eyes, is the release of the Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 DLC on the PS Vita. That was a strange case wasn’t it? Hearing about compatibility issues cropping up doesn’t exactly give you a lot of confidence in the cross platform play feature that the Vita boasts- something that I personally was really looking forward to. Anyway, the various downloads are up now and add two more characters to the game along with a load of extra costumes.

Other notables include the ‘Lost Archive’ mission pack for Assassin’s Creed Revelations and some new add-ons for Soul Calibur V, and Saint’s Row the Third. And I feel like I have to point out that the PSP Store is active again. Seriously, now it gets new stuff?!?
