Teddy bear mask! Elf ears! The Carlton! No, I’m not talking about what happened at last year’s Christmas party. There’s new DLC coming to Uncharted 3 and the first wave’s batch of DLC next week marks the first time any of these items or taunts have been available for Uncharted 3 multiplayer.

We have a plethora of new content and some currently in-game content, such as the event specific items like the Cinema Event T-Shirt, that will be available for download via the PlayStation®Store over the next few weeks.  We’re rolling out new DLC content in stages and stage 1 & 2 will arrive on 23rd August (Thursday) .

Before we get to next week’s DLC we wanted to call out that two new characters skins, Drake from Uncharted Golden Abyss and Guerro, the main villain in Uncharted Golden Abyss, have been made FREE as of last week. They were slated to be included with this week’s stage but Sony Bend Studio and the Dogs here decided we wanted to thank you all for making Uncharted Golden Abyss one of the best-selling games on the PlayStation Vita. So thanks!  

All the DLC in Stage 1 is available for purchase on the PS Store and nothing can be unlocked as in-game reward. You’ll have to buy it to wear it or use it. There are 11 taunts coming that are sure to make your kill streak funnier including the Heisman and The Carlton. You can preview these taunts in-game before you buy.

The mother lode is that there are 75 head items in this drop for the various UNCHARTED specific character skins. Most of the head items in this stage will come with stats applied to it. For instance, buy the Fur Hat for Drake to get +5  X-Ray Meters and -5% to your Rate of Fire or slap some Bunny Ears on Elena to get +10% Regen Speed and -10% Regen Delay. There are many other combinations of stat buffs and de-buffs for the head items that you can see in-game before you choose to unlock it.

With regard to all head items, there are 27 stat combinations, one positive and one negative on each item. All head items with stats will use one of these 27 stat combinations. Players will have access to all 27 stat combinations via grinding. However, to get certain head items with stats that appeal to your personal aesthetic you'll have to buy them. In other words, the stat combinations you’ll get in items that are available for purchase will not be unique from the ones you can grind to earn.

Here’s a list of everything that will be upcoming, its price, and who can use the item in Stage 1. More information about stage 2 – 4 will be shared later. 

PlayStation®Store is like a beach where waves of all sizes wash up one after another – like the new big hit or indie titles coming out regularly; while there are some unpredictable and irregular waves as well, like those existing big titles expanding their empire onto PlayStation®Vita, bringing us even better versions of some quality games.

And this is exactly what’s happening on PS Store this week, a very stellar one.

You all know about Persona 4, the well-acclaimed PlayStation®2 RPG title. "Persona 4 The GOLDEN", available on TODAY, is hailed as taking this series into its golden era. The game is still choked full of the series’ trademark mysteries for you to solve in which reality and unreality intertwine in a high school juvenile story.

And it is not a mere change of platform. The PS Vita version is with remastered visuals and sounds; new Personas to collect; new story events along with an all-new character; 1.5 times the voiced dialogue of the original release; a new online “dungeon rescue” feature that allows users to call on other players for assistance in real time when they are about to die in the TV world… Click here for the press release.

To be launched on TODAY also is a stealth action masterpiece, yes, thank you for waiting for so long fans, I am talking about "METAL GEAR SOLID HD COLLECTION"!  Now you can play through two of the classic gems of the series: "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty" and "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater" on PS Vita, with of course some enhanced contents on top of its original! In "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty", there is a MISSIONS mode for you to experience different actions and a SNAKE TALES that brings you an extra story of SOLID SNAKE. "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater" in this title even covers METAL GEAR released in 1987, the beginning of the series and "METAL GEAR 2: SOLID SNAKE". Whether you are a long-time fan of the series who want to relive the good old times or you are new to this series, "METAL GEAR SOLID HD COLLECTION" will have something for you.

At the same time, PS Vita’s touch screen is once again, as in every other title, fully utilized to give you the most intuitive controls. Games saves of the PlayStation®3 version can also be shared, so continue your infiltration mission on-the-go! PS Vita gamers, after reading about these two new big titles on your portable, yes now you should go and let out your excitement (Just…grab your PS Vita firm and don’t drop it).
