FIFA and PlayTV demos in PSN update News

PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell

12 September, 2008

Sony has updated the PlayStation Store with all sorts of exciting new content. Hahahaha. No, but seriously, there's a few new bits and pieces including the long overdue 1942: Joint Strike (GBP 6.99) and a demo of the same.

There's also the FIFA 09 demo we told you about yesterday, an Elefunk demo, a PlayTV demo that uses pre-recorded content to showcase how Sony's new PVR thingy works, and PAIN Amusement Park (GBP 3.49), which gives fans of the physics-based slapstick-'em-up a new environment to violently explore.

Also on the downloadable content front, there's a new Rock Band section featuring album, tracks and track pack areas. The Cars, Judas Priest (both GBP 7.49) and The Who (GBP 9.99) have albums there, while there are too many tracks and track packs to list, but they range from GBP 0.99 for a single song to GBP 4.99 for six-track bundles.

Don't forget Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, either, which welcomes the Metallica "Death Magnetic" full album for GBP 11.99.

Elsewhere, there's the usual range of trailers (FIFA, Mirror's Edge, Tomb Raider, Pure) and a series of wallpapers for The Last Guy, which came out last week, and which will be reviewed soon, we promise.

£10.00 for a guitar hero albumn... I wonder how our American cousins would react to paying $20 for it.

Presumably this means trophies have been added to Pain as well? I know I shouldn't care, but I like shiny things.

@ mikeck

They just call a spade a spade. I've just bought a PS3 with a defective hard drive, repaired it and I am pleasantly suprised at how quiet it is, all they need now is to get some decent games on it. I will still put up with the noise of my Xbox360 as long as there are decent exclusives, nothing on PS3 exclusive horizon really appeals but I will buy the PS3 versions of multi format games as it doesn't sound like a jet engine with a frozen chicken thrown in.

The PAIN Abusement Park is easily the best add-on available on PSN. I spent way too many hours exploring it yesterday. Simply brilliant stuff!

Indeed, a patch with trophy support and a new freeform level is now added, though the new level is basically for experiments only, no scoring or any real goal. It says there'll be a different one each week.

Apparently it does, by way of a patch. But I'm not 100% sure that patch is available in Europe yet. I assume it is though.
