SOCOM, PowerUp, Silent Hill on PSN News
PSP PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell
The downloadable version of SOCOM: Confrontation launched on the European PlayStation Store yesterday, along with PowerUp Forever, the PSone's Silent Hill and downloadable content for Call of Duty: World at War and Midnight Club: Los Angeles.
SOCOM, then, costs GBP 19.99 or EUR 29.99 depending on the ground under your feet, although whether you'll feel like paying that is another matter. PowerUp Forever is somewhat cheaper at GBP 6.29 / EUR 7.99 and took a bow on Xbox Live Arcade late last year. Silent Hill, of course, requires no introduction, although you might like to know it's GBP 3.99 / EUR 4.99.
The Call of Duty: World at War map pack - reviewed later today - is GBP 7.99 / EUR 9.99, which is also what you will have to pay for the premium version of Midnight Club: Los Angeles' South Central add-on - although you can download the map extension for free.
Elsewhere there's the Street Fighter IV Shadaloo Pack for GBP 3.19 / EUR 3.99, featuring alternative costumes for the bosses - M. Bison, Balrog, Vega, Sagat and Seth - and yet another LittleBigPlanet costume pack, this time allowing you to dress up as a Helghast trooper for GBP 2.39 / EUR 2.99.
Elsewhere elsewhere, Sony is starting to seriously fill out the PSP end of the shop with downloadable games formerly sold on UMD, with all of the following arriving at GBP 14.99 / EUR 19.99: SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo, Twisted Metal Head-On, Splinter Cell Essentials, Everybody's Golf and Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters.
There's also the option to buy Spinout (GBP 7.99 / EUR 9.99) and Resistance: Retribution, which is also available on UMD today. And, once again, we're forced to point out that the RRP-hugging GBP 24.99 / EUR 39.99 Sony wants for the download is a bit stiff next to the 18 quid you can find it for on Amazon or Play.
Finally, there's lots of gunk for Rock Band and Guitar Hero, which we got bored of reporting ages ago. Sorry.

"£4 for Silent Hill, £15-odd for Silent Hill Collection (SH 2-4 on ebay).
Wow, can't go wrong there. Of course, I never got round to finishing SH4..... " You genius sir! I'm buying SH1 today, and will look into collection (but STILL need to replace my dying PS2 - should do really I've got LOADS to clear). My girlfriend got that when the movie came out but traded it (too hard probably), shame really as I nabbed her PS2 (my current terminally ill one) not long after, bloody Sony and their crap B/Cless PS3, bloody, bloody, crap, crap Sony. |

Oh, can we expect a Silent Hill review? Hell, if I paid 4quid for Noby Noby Boy I'm sure I can do the same for Silent Hill.

Keep reporting the Rock Band stuff please!
And my friend picked up Socom for £20 in HMV on the day of release, and this way he can carry the disk around to different machines and have all those other advantages of 'out-dated' physical media. |
