It's that time again. The PlayStation Store has received its weekly Thursday update, bringing with it a slew of downloadable content in the form of games, expansions, demos and digital trinkets all available for electronic purchase.

Age of Booty Plunders PS3 This Week

Nov 10, 2008 2:35pm CST tags: Age of Booty
After the October delay of the PlayStation 3 version of Certain Affinity's sea-faring, hex-based strategy game Age of Booty, Capcom has confirmed that the Booty will arrive on the PlayStation Store this Thursday, November 13.

The report came from Capcom's official blog, which added that a European release for the same day is likely but still unconfirmed.

The delay was needed for a "little more work" in order "to ensure the online experience for PSN users is as smooth, fun, and addicting" as the Xbox 360 version, which set sail in October.

Still on the horizon is the Steam PC release, which has no release date as of yet. No matter the platform, Age of Booty is priced at $10.

The PlayStation 3 release of Certain Affinity's hex-based strategy game Age of Booty have been delayed until "sometime around mid November."

The downloadable title, which hit Xbox 360 for $10 on Wednesday, was originally slated to arrive in the PlayStation 3's online PlayStation Store yesterday.

The delay was attributed to the "little more work" needed to "to ensure the online experience for PSN users is as smooth, fun, and addicting [as the Xbox 360 release]," according to a post on publisher Capcom's official blog.

"We were playing [the PS3 version] earlier this week and just didn't like what we were seeing, knowing there were a few more things we wanted to address before letting it out," representative Daryl added in the comments.

The same post also confirms that the PS3 release will include support for Trophies, the Xbox 360 Achievement-like functionality recently introduced to the system.

Shacknews readers are reminded that Certain Affinity's plundering-and-pillaging tile-based strategy game Age of Booty will hit Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday.

The aquatic-pimping title will hit Xbox Live Arcade on Wednesday for a price of 800 Microsoft Points ($10). Release for the PlayStation Store will come the following day at the same price, and a PC version hitting digital distribution services including Steam will arrive later, also at $10.
