Snoopy WWI Flying Ace Sneak Preview

Who knew that the sneaky pup we all know and love as Snoopy was planning his own video game? Well looks like Snoopy is taking it to the Red Baron 1914 style complete with his trademark scarf and hat. Snoopy WWI Flying Ace looks to be one part Crimson Skies and two parts platformer, but I did notice a lack of Woodstock for some reason.

Will Snoopy make it into your console or will this be a quick rental to relive some Peanuts fun?

PS3 Video Store - Where Are All the Rentals?

PS3 Video Store Screen

I was looking through the PS3 Video Store over the weekend in hopes to rent a movie instead of driving out to BlockBuster. Specifically, I wanted to rent 21. I knew it was on the store, so it didn’t take long to find it. To my astonishment, it’s not available as a rental. You can only purchase the movie for $14.99. Wait, what?

If a movie is on the store for purchase, there’s no reason whatsoever to exclude a rental option. Having the ability to buy the movie is cool, but every single movie on the Video Store should be available to ren. I’d never seen 21 and wasn’t about to shell out $15 just to watch it once.

I know the Video Store is in its infancy and Sony will be expanding things as time goes on, but this one just seems pretty obvious. If there was a rental option for 21, I would have grabbed it. Since there wasn’t, my money went elsewhere (namely my local BlockBuster for the Blu-Ray rental). Hopefully Sony addresses this sooner than later if they want to make more money from the Video Store.
