PS3 players have a lot of great content this week including NBA 2K13 and Resident Evil 6 while the PS Vita a lots more PSone Classic support and a New Little King.
It’s a very solid to great (depending on your tastes) week on Sony’s download service.
Personally, I’m happy to see the PSOne titles getting constant updates and support for the PSV. When the US store started so far behind some other territories I had thought that this might be another ‘forgotten’ feature of a Sony console. I’m glad to see that wasn’t the case.
I’m also pretty stoked to see Assassin’s Creed III all bundled up and ready for pre-sale on the PSN. The validity of pre-ordering digital content notwithstanding, it’s great to see this title getting one step closer to release. As a fan of the series (that’s taken some hits as of late) I’m pumped for a new story/hero as well as a new direction.
