Whoo, it’s a busy week in the world of video games. On Tuesday, Microsoft managed a global launch of their poster-child for sci-fi shooters, Halo: Reach. Now Sony are launching a whole new range of hardware, Move, in Europe today (it sadly won’t be in UK retail stores until Friday but if you ordered online it might arrive today!).
So this week’s PlayStation Store update is a crazy one, without retailers to work around Sony have managed to get a bucketload of Move-supporting software out for you to spend your hard earned cash on (or demo).
In addition to all the Move madness there are demos for Pro Evolution Soccer (for those without PS+) and FIFA 11 which are sure to reignite the old arguments about which is the better football/soccer game. It’s FIFA, by the way.
So, what are you getting this week?

Enslaved demo. Awesome. The Americans didn’t even get that.
Move demos are pointless for me as they will be in my move starter pack.
Origami Killer

Origami Killer

Loads of great stuff Move wise. Also thinking about Monkey Island, but getting tired of paying for content and a few weeks later it appearing for nowt. (I, like many others have opted for the “I wont buy anything, sods law states it will appear on Plus next month” stance. Not sure that was Sony’s plan.)
Anywho, roll on Monday, I will be Moving like nobody’s business!

crap update
BrendanCalls
Really? this is a good update.
Id hate to know what you think any other update week ;-)
hazelam
even i think it’s a decent update, apart from the lack of castle crashers.
and there are few people as critical of the eu store as i am.
Danza Di Fuoco E Ghiaccio
Am I in the European update list? wow….. alot of content today
adamguest1985
With regards to the PAIN discounting, is there any mention of this getting move support? Seems like it would suit the game tremendously.
simplebob
Pain is supposed to be getting move support in October according to the Move lineup announcements
adamguest1985
Many thanks. Must have missed that one.
Crazy_Del
YAY! Great updates shame I don’t have Move until Friday but the demos is enough for :)
Reminds me to make backups and delete old stuff so little memory left.
BadBoyBoogie
A pretty good update today, especially for those getting the Move controller!! ;) I’m holding fire on Move for the moment, hoping that there will be a Move controller twin pack bundle soon, although I may buckle and buy one anyway!!
As for today’s update, I’ll be downloading the PES, FIFA and Space Invader demos.

roll on Friday morning I like to Move it.
