It’s Thursday. Thursday is the first day of the week, according to SCEE, because it’s when they provide us with massive bandwidth destroying goodies in exchange for some of our hard-earned pennies (they rest on Wednesdays).
So what have we got this week?
PS3 Games:
- WipEout HD. We loved it last week, and we’ve been collecting our Trophies this week. It’s brain-meltingly fast and utterly wonderful. We’ve not been able to test the online mode yet, but it’s worth every penny even without it.
- Burnout Paradise. We’re not 100% sure it’s coming to Europe this week, but the downloadable version of Criterion’s massively supported racer will be available to play entirely from the hard drive very soon. If you’ve already got the Blu-ray version, keep an eye out for the Trophy patch, meant to go live today.
- Megaman 9, and Geon Emotions. Both brand new PSN games, both limited to the US Store, we think. We’ll let you know if that changes though later in the day. Megaman 9 has hit the European store, awesome. Geon Emotions has Trophy support from day one, by the way.
PS3 Demos:
- Megaman 9 also comes with a demo, alongside a belated one for Beijing 2008, and the same Mercenaries 2 demo that was on the US Store last week.
PSP Games:
- Both Burnout Dominator and Burnout Legends are now available to download and play on your PSP.
Game Content:
- Plenty of Rock Band downloads for you today, Bad Religion, The Cult, Kasabian and the legendary Stone Roses amongst the bands available for you to strum, drum and hum along to. There’s single tracks and what appears to be a ‘Rush Pack’, but that looks like different songs entirely. Hmm.
- SingStar fans should keep an eye out for this SingStar update, too.
- Buzz! lovers will appreciate the Video Games quiz pack, and there’s a new pack for Poker, too.
Trailers:
- PES 2009 trailer
- Valkyria Chronicles trailer
- Ferrari Challenge trailer
- Pure launch trailer
- Pain Amusement Park trailer (x2)
- MGS trailer
Themes:
- Bioshock theme
- Fallout 3 theme

I am right when I say it’s not up yet, right? (8.47am according to my computer – UK time).

It’s not, no. We normally update as the day goes on and we get more information.

I know you do – it’s why I like this website so much, it updates so regularly and so accurately (from what I’ve seen, I’ve only been visiting somewhat recently) =).
Can’t wait for Wipeout. Been waiting for SO long. Still, Burnout Trophies to keep me entertain for a few minutes.

after the bad news with burnout trophies this morning, a mirrors edge demo would certainly make up for it

Hi,
SingStar update was there on Monday. Was busy *ahem* doing Kim Wilde on Monday evening, much to the annoyance of my neighbours!

I want Burnout, I nearly bought it pre-owned a few weeks back but read somewhere that it’s network locked so if you buy a copy that’s already been used online then it won’t work from your machine. Not sure if that’s true but didn’t want to risk it. I’d definitely consider buying it off the PSN if my lowly 40Gb HDD wasn’t already groaning under the strain of installs, demos, Warhawk and my shiny new LBP beta. Seriously, I don’t even know how the in-game music feature works because I’ve deleted all the music, it’s that pushed for space.
Mirrors Edge looks very interesting and I’d love to see a demo of that. Hopefully we’ll get the PES demo that we were supposed to get last week (feckless Konami).
I think thats the end of my interest so far, I’ll wait and see what else goes up.
Movement finished last week I think so hopefully they’ll get as much up as they can so the update lists don’t look empty this week without the usual three pages of annoying video clips from everybody’s least favourite content.

Why don’t they prepare the PSN update on Wednesdays so it can go live earlier on Thursdays
When they launch the update early in the evening there is far more internet traffic, and that reflects poorly on Sony with people moaning about slow downloads
Launch it in the morning, and that way only those at home or at work armed with a PSP can start downloading, thus freeing up bandwidth when everyone tries downloading at at peak time in the evening
Come on SCEE

is this update up yet? – i’m feeling viciously impatient for some reason and want to find a reason to leave work early.
