PlayStation Network Update: Wild Arms! photo

There's a few downloadable goodies in this week's PlayStation Network update, but there's no point in beating around the bush -- the PlayStation classic Wild Arms is available as a PSP/PS3 download today. For only $5.99, you can own one of the best (and best sounding) PlayStation RPGs ever.

Not the classic RPG type? Maybe some High Velocity Bowling ($9.99, 514mb) would be more your speed. Get ready to swing some SIXAXIS in this PS3 title.

As for add-on content this week, there's the Folklore add-on packs ($3.99 each, or $5.99 for both) we told you about earlier, as well as a new MotorStorm vehicle ($.99) and several Black Sabbath Rock Band songs.

There's only one game demo this week: TimeShift Multiplayer demo (757mb).

As always, here's the videos:

  • GTA IV - Trailer 3 “Move up, ladies”
  • MGS4 – TGS 2007 Trailer
  • Uncharted “Environments” Video
  • TimeShift FPS Video 3
  • Turok Interview Trailer 1
  • Battlefield “Frostbite” Video
  • The Legend of Zorro Blu-ray Disc Trailer

Lastly, there are new Ratchet & Clank and Uncharted PS3 themes up. They're nice, but you should be using the Destructoid ones instead.

Hit the jump to see the updates for the PlayStation Store for PC.

$5.99? I guess that's a pretty good deal. A quick check on ebay shows a ton of Wild Arms on sale with a few supposedly in "mint" condition for around $4 to $6 bidding and $20 to $50 for 'Buy Now'.

Any word if the PSN version runs 100%?

If they start to release the Suikoden, Breath of Fire, Chrono Trigger and grandia.

I think i would have to start having sex with my PS3.

One of the best PS1 RPGs? Er, right...

I did buy that one. It was mostly just a "have an RPG to play until Final Fantasy VII came along" time filler for me.

I'd pass, but if you like a combination of FF style summons and Zelda gameplay, you might did this. Plus sketchy graphics.

Good music, though.

Wow... I'd be tempted to buy it if I didn't already have a copy of it. It's in pretty good condition and I got to admire a game that gets my SISTERS playing RPGs.

Wild Arms is still one of my favorite games of all time. In regards to the graphics, be gentle, I believe it was the first RPG to have 3d battle sequences, ever. Even if they did look like Marshmallow people (which was cute, by the way). Plus the dungeon crawling was great.

I still need to grab Alter Code: F :/

I own the original but I'll still but it. I'm scared taking some of my old Playstation games out of their case, I am a clumsy person sometimes.

Honestly, I own Wild Arms, and I played it, and I thought it was one of the most boring RPGs I had ever played. Not to mention that it is just downright ugly by today's standards. I don't have a PS3 so it doesn't really matter, but I'll pass.

I LOVED the RPGs on the PSOne. I had a bretty awesome collection of around 20 titles, Including Suikoden II, Valkyrie Profile and the Lunar Games....sold it all on ebay a few years ago and made around $500 total.....those were the days. Nothing is cooler than the thick PS1 rpg case.
Square Enix should totally put out a collection for the PS3, I can imagine they'd be able to fit a lot of titles on one Blueray.

Hey Dale, what are your thoughts on the Wild Arms opening theme song? It's one of the catchiest songs in gaming, but I know how you feel about whistling.....

I would pay $6 just to watch the intro again. I love this game and the loss of it when my PSOne decided to die after I beat FFVII was harsh.

Wild ARMs is a definite buy for RPG fans that don't already own a copy.
