I can help with current information, but I don’t have live access to tools in this turn. Here’s what’s widely known about Best of PlayStation Network Vol. 1 up to its release years:
- What it is: A Blu-ray compilation (retail disc) featuring four PlayStation Network titles that were previously digital-only on PS3: When Vikings Attack!, Sound Shapes, Tokyo Jungle, and Fat Princess. This was designed for players who preferred a physical copy or didn’t access the PSN Store easily.[3][5]
- Release timeline: The collection was announced and released around mid-2013, with sources indicating a June 2013 window for availability and a retail price around $39.99, depending on region. The set is PS3-only in physical form and does not include Vita versions or extra DLC in its packaging.[4][5][3]
- Content overview: Each game on the disc is a standalone title previously offered digitally on PSN, now packaged together for convenience. The lineup includes:
- When Vikings Attack!
- Sound Shapes
- Tokyo Jungle
- Fat Princess
These titles are representative of diverse genres, from action to music-based platforming, to strategy and party-style play.[5][3][4]
- Reception and legacy: Coverage across gaming outlets at the time highlighted the value of bringing popular PSN titles to a physical format, especially for collectors or players with limited access to digital stores. Contemporary listings on Metacritic and IGN summarize the compilation’s offerings and the included games.[4][5]
