PSN Tuesday: Street Fighter II HD; excellent PSN titles now $5
Blessed be this day, for soon we may never have to type out "Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix" again.

What certainly should not be overlooked in today's update is the PSN price promotion that offers excellent titles like PixelJunk Eden and echochrome at a measly $5 -- for a limited time! The full North American update can be hadoukened after the break.
