The Great PlayStation Network Outage of 2011 first went down on April 20, 2011. North American, European, Australian and some Asian gamers went 24 days without any PSN services until they were restored May 15, 2011. They had to wait until June 1, 2011 to get access to the PlayStation Store again. Of course, that seems like nothing compared to what Japanese and other Asian territories have had to go through. Initial PlayStation Network services only first resumed there on May 28, 2011 and now, after over two months, the Japanese PlayStation Store is finally back online….

With the Thanksgiving holiday rapidly approaching, Sony has decided to gift gamers early with enough games and content worthy of a feast. Digitally speaking, that is.

The main course in this update feast is the release of Super Street Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix, which will set players back $15. This game has already been received favorably from sites such as 1UP and IGN and will definitely please any Street Fighter fan.

For gamers who choose to exercise their minds rather than their muscles, Brain Challenge will also be available for purchase. For $10, players can see just how strong their minds are in comparison to the competition.

For players who want to sample some older Playstation Store content, Echochrome, The Last Guy, PixelJunk Eden, Novastrike and Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 will be on sale for…

Just another typical week at the Playstation Store. Nothing really worth mentioning on the list this time, except that the name of the new James Bond flick reminds me far too much of a Castlevania title. I eagerly await its sequel, Symphony of the Soviets.

Here, do yourselves a big favor. Go and play Samurai Showdown 2 and Ys instead.

So there’s nothing new to play on this week’s update. Instead, we get another issue of Qore and a ton of videos. Some bonuses lurk within, however. Annual subscribers to Qore will get a spot on the Resistance 2 beta, exposing players to yet another great helping of World War II and space aliens which are both so sorely underused in this industry. Also, downloading the Home wallpaper will automatically sign you up for a possible crack at the Home beta.

And with that, click through for yet another long list…
