What it does

On reveal: If you already have another Games card here, +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Games cards roll the dice. Sometimes the dice roll you.

The site, in 2006

Sony's online shop for PlayStation games, add-ons, demos, themes and trailers.

Sony planned to close the PS3 and Vita stores in 2021, then reversed that after criticism about game preservation. In July 2026 it said they will close for good in July 2027.

In 2006: Opened on 11 November alongside the PlayStation 3, in its first design, which ran as a web-based store.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
