The UK PlayStation Video Store has been updated with new movies to rent and own. The highlight of this week includes Resident Evil Afterlife, which is now available in SD and HD resolutions. If you buy the HD version, you also get an SD version to watch on your PSP.
Following up on the announcement of Final Fantasy XIII-2 this week, Square Enix have also released the first teaser trailer for the game. Check out the trailer below, but be warned that the trailer contains minor spoilers about the previous title, if you haven’t completed playing the game yet.
On the PSP Comic Store this week, you can find Ultimate War (2002) #1-3, Justice League: Generation Lost #17, and Dungeons & Dragons #2. You can also find more manga from publisher TOKYOPOP, including Van Von Hunter #1. Check out the list of new titles below.
A new PSP Firmware is now available to download using the System Update feature on the device. Firmware version v6.37 is a minor update that improves system software stability during use of some features. It may also include some sort of code to block the recent hacking of the PSPgo, but this is speculation for now.
