PSN Update -- 'Red Johnson' edition

Really... Red Johnson... we're not making this up. You play as a PI named Red Johnson. And apparently being a private dick (*ahem) is tough in Metropolis, the crime capital of the world. How it's that filthy with bad guys is a mystery- Superman on vacation or something?

Other than that... awkwardly named title (which is available to PSPlus subscribers only), the PSN plays host to PSOne Classics Dino Crisis 2 and Threads of Fate, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Arcania Heart 3, and a bunch of sales and other assorted digital sundries.

...Red Johnson!
