As announced by Sony earlier this week, Grand Theft Auto 3 was supposed to hit PSN with the latest PS Store update, but an ‘unforeseen complication’ has apparently forced Sony to not publish it. It’s being said that some last minute issues with a certain audio track within the title has prevented it from hitting the service.
Ridge Racer Unbounded, which was released in March this year, arrives on PSN this week with a price tag of 44.99 USD (approx. Rs. 2,505). The Expendables 2 Videogame has also been made available as part of the PSN Play promotion. It sells at 14.99 USD (approx. Rs. 835). Under the same program, pre-orders for Sound Shapes have gone live. Those who reserve their copies of this PS3 and PS Vita title will receive a static theme for free.
Grand Theft Auto 3 didn’t make to the PS2 Classics category, but War of the Monsters did. It can be bought for the PS3 at 9.99 USD (approx. Rs. 555). Moreover, a new PSP game also launched this week in the form of Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time which is purchasable at 29.99 USD (approx. Rs. 1,670). Free demos that have hit PSN with the latest PS Store update include those of The Expendables 2 Videogame, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron and Pro Evolution Soccer 2013.
For PS Plus subscribers, Mad Riders gets discounted to 8.99 USD (approx. Rs. 500). They even receive 20 percent price cuts for The Expendables 2 Videogame and pre-orders of Sound Shapes, bringing their prices down to 11.99 USD (approx. Rs. 670) each. A number of new DLC packs are available now for PS3 games like Record of Agarest War 2, Street Fighter x Tekken, LittleBigPlanet 2, Max Payne 3 and more. The PS Vita’s Escape Plan gets a new DLC as well. Dubbed the Underground Pack, it sells on PSN at 1.99 USD (approx. Rs. 110).
The absence of Grand Theft Auto 3 from this week’s PS Store update has been explained by Sony through the official PlayStation blog, but the publisher is still to reveal when the game will actually be launched.
