Here’s what’s known about Best of PlayStation Network Vol. 1 (the PS3 compilation):
- The set released in June 2013 as a Blu-ray disc, collecting four PSN titles: Fat Princess, When Vikings Attack!, Sound Shapes, and Tokyo Jungle. It was priced around $39.99 and required HDD installs for the PS3 versions on disc; Vita versions and DLC were not included. This is a historical release, not a current product.[1][3][5]
- Coverage from various outlets at the time highlighted that the bundle offered good value relative to purchasing the games separately on PSN, especially for players without reliable or any PSN connectivity.[3]
- Critical notes consistently described the four titles as the core lineup: Fat Princess (party/party-combat), When Vikings Attack! (arcade action), Sound Shapes (musical platformer), and Tokyo Jungle (bizarre post-apocalyptic animal survival). Multiple outlets detail these individual games as part of the compilation.[2][5][3]
- Availability today is largely as historical reference; exact new printings or re-releases are not typical for this specific bundle, though individual titles remain available separately in various formats or reissues through other channels. Contemporary listings exist for reference (e.g., retailer pages or game databases) but reflect past release data rather than new availability.[5][7]
Illustrative snapshot
- A disc-based bundle with four PSN titles bundled together to reach players who could not download via PSN or preferred physical media. It’s an example of early cross-medium compilations in the PS3 era. This framing comes from contemporary coverage describing the retail option and bundle value.[1][3]
If you’re looking for the latest updates or availability in 2026, I can search for current listings or discuss whether any modern re-releases or reprints exist. Want me to pull the latest status from retailers or archival sites? [web: citations above]
