Playstation Network Update - 'LBPtothePSPtotheDLC' Edition

Yay! Little Big Planet DLC for the PSP! Huzzah!!

We get some stone age and 'gardens' levels, stickers, and costume packs to play with- but there's a lot more cool stuff this week too.

There's a mini called Dracula that may or may not be of any interest, but the name is cool- there's also a skin pack for Uncharted 2 that has a bunch of characters from other first and second party Sony games that you can shoot each other as.

It should also be noted that the first Assassins Creed 2 DLC pack is now available. It has a little scenario called 'The Battle of Forli'. It's set near the end of the main game in the uber-dumpy town of Forli. It's no great shakes but it sounds fun and it does after all extend this excellent game a little farther.

I have to ask again though: What the hell happened to the PSOne classics? Man, are they pumping out some crappy ones lately.
