This week's PlayStation Store update


Today's Australian PlayStation Store update was not as substantial as last week's, although it still brought a bounty of add-on game packs, as well as the long-awaited Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. demo.

The highlight of this week's update is, of course, the 'Rio Demo' for Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X., where the literature promises that, "flying at Mach 3 becomes a right, not a privilege." The demo weighs in at 832 MB.

Two full PSP games also made their way to the PlayStation Store, with Generation of Chaos and WWII: Battle Over the Pacific. Both games are on sale for AUD $19.95.

The majority of today's update was made up of game packs, with a long list starting with Buzz's 'Quiz of the Year 2008' for AUD $8.45, Street Fighter IV's alternate costume 'Brawler Pack' for AUD $6.95, Skate 2's San Van Classic Pack for AUD $6.95. High Velocity Bowling receives two new characters (Candy and Dwyane) for AUD $1.75 each, as well as a free game pack named 'Trick Shits Part Two', which gives you further ways to boost your chances of picking up collectible patches in the game.

There's also the 'All-New Content' pack for The Lord of the Rings Conquest for AUD $12.95, which includes two new arenas (Weathertop foggy mountain and Minas Tirith main gate), three new heroes (Gothmog, Boromir and Arwen), two new multiplayer maps (Amon Hen and Battle of the Last Alliance) each with 3 new game modes (Team Deathmatch, Capture the Ring and Conquest).

Guitar Hero World Tour got hit by a Silver Bullet, as it was updated with three new Bob Seger tracks - 'Get Out of Denver', 'Her Strut' and 'Old Time Rock & Roll'. You can grab any of them for AUD $3.45 each of all together for AUD $9.25. Rock Band received three new Jimmy Eat World tracks - 'Futures', 'Lucky Denver Mint' and 'Sweetness'. It also received the country songs '3 Dimes Down' by Drive-By Truckers, 'Can't Let Go' by Lucinda Williams, 'People Got a Lotta Nerve' by Neko Case, 'Satellite Radio' by Steve Earle and 'Time Bomb (Live)' by Old 97's. You can buy them individually for AUD $2.45, or buy a pack of all the country songs for AUD $11.05 and a pack of all the Jimmy Eat World songs for AUD $6.45.

Finally, there's a host of videos including trailers for Disgaea 3:Absence of Justice, FIFA 09, Burnout Praadise: The Ultimate Bundle, Lumines Supernova and Prince of Persia Epilogue.There's also a 'Master Maze Makers Trailer' for echochrome. You'll also find yourself right at home with a LocoRoco 2 MuiMui House PS3 theme.
