Welcome to the PlayStation Store update for June 3, 2014. We have a great update this week packed full of new content and sales. Several new titles come to the PlayStation 4 this week including Murdered: Soul Suspect (also available for PS3), War Thunder, and 1001 Spikes (Cross-Buy with Vita).
By far the most interesting title to grace the PlayStation 3 this week is Don Bradman Cricket 14 also comes to the PlayStation 3 this week. As someone who has no idea how cricket works, I still find it intriguing that PlayStation has released a full blown and full priced ($59.99) Cricket game for the system. The other big news this week is a RPG Flash Sale that lasts until Friday June 6th. Some of the deals you can look forward to are Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch for only $4.99 and the entire Mass Effect Trilogy for $14.99. If you haven’t played either of these titles you owe it to yourself to buy them at these highly discounted prices!
Finally, PlayStation Plus users will be receiving PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate (PS4/PS Vita), Trine 2: Complete Story (PS4), and NBA 2k14 (PS3) for free along with many discounts on several games. Keep reading to see a complete list of content available on the PlayStation Store this week!
While there is plenty to be excited about when it comes to E3 with Naughty Dog and Santa Monica Studios expected to reveal major titles, one key PlayStation developer won’t be part of the celebration. Media Molecule, the studio behind the beloved LittleBigPlanet franchise, won’t be attending the show.
It’s happened to us all, be it in Gran Turismo 6 or Driving Emotion Type-S (anybody?). You’re racing, racing, racing. Minding your own business, being in first or second place and you’ve got only two laps to go or heck, maybe just one. Then a crash happens and you’re tossed all the way in the back of the line and the last 10 minutes of racing just counted for nothing. During such times, controllers have been broken, relationships damaged, and that feeling of disgust that you get to do it all over again. Luckily for gamers, 
The hallmark of any good game is not just its visuals, gameplay, or storyline but a combination of all of them that when put together, gives the title an experience like no other. From AAA titles like Uncharted and Final Fantasy to smaller games like Angry Birds, chances are that you’ve found yourself humming the games tunes without even realizing it. While some games have music only fill in the dead space between one battle to the next, other games like Metal Gear and God of War use it as part of the experience. 
For those playing at home, you’ll note that the PS2 crushed the Xbox (Xbox One?) in lifetime sales. Specifically, Sony moved 157.68 million PS2 consoles while Microsoft did a fraction of that with 24.65 million sold units. The generation after that was something completely different. Microsoft rightly designed the Xbox 360 for a connected multiplayer world and brought it to market a full year ahead of the PS3 at a lower price point. This resulted in the Xbox 360 being ahead of the PS3 for most of its lifetime but towards the end, the balance began to shift. Despite still costing more than the Xbox 360 and being out for one less year, the PS3 sits at nearly 83 million units sold with X360 trails at 81 million. This gap will likely continue to widen as Microsoft has ceased support for the console with games and updates for quite sometime now as it did with the original Xbox when the next generation console launched.
