PSN Update -- 'JRPG' edition

Two big RPG classics land on the PSN this week as Xenogears (PSOne Classics) and Y's I&II (PSP) land on the service. But that's not all! There's a lot to like this week as we also get the Dragon Age 2, MLB The Show, and LEGO Star Wars III demos. On top of that, the Killzone Retro map pack is also available!

There's Space Ace too... don't know how much interest there is in that one...
