Weekly Premium Content Roundup

Herding the downloadable goat.

News by Robert Purchese Associate Editor

Updated on 7 Mar 2008

If downloadable content actually was a goat then we would have shot it. We might have put it in a casserole like we cooked last night. Which was very nice. Or we might have balanced it on a barbecue for a press event. The point is that we would have killed it; smashed it until it was good and dead. Why? Because of American Idol and its ridiculously long list of downloadable songs. This was only meant to take a few minutes, but has turned into an epic with swords and hairy feet.

There's nothing here that's really that exciting, either. Rocketmen on Live Arcade and US PSN turned out to be rubbish, and unless you're a fan of GRAW 2 and get excited about a new Co-op Collection, then you should probably go outside and do some healthy sports like hula-hooping.

There is an Undertow expansion called Path of the Elect, and most of you should have the original because Microsoft gave it out for free for a while to say sorry for being rubbish over Christmas. You might also be a fan of the recurring song updates for Guitar Hero 3. A Metal Track Pack was added to Live/US PSN, while the No Doubt Track Pack from last week was added to the European PSN.

There's a teensy weensy flOw expansion on the Euro Store as well, but otherwise you lot with your Virtual Console and Kirby 64 look like the biggest earners.

Unless you fake your address and hop on the US PSP Store and download the full-game of flOw, of course.
