This week’s PSN update is quite a big one. Alongside the new PS+ content we have some new discounts and price reductions as well as a trial and unlock for MAG.
There are two new PS3 games in the shape of Dungeon Hunter: Alliance and Red Faction: Battlegrounds as well as the Penny Arcade bundle for those who didn’t buy the episodes separately.
Finally, for the PS3 content, we have the multiplayer demo for SOCOM and the single player demo for Motorstorm: Apocalypse.
The PSP gets some loving with some new “Essentials” as well as the arrival of God Eater Burst to download.
So, what are you getting?

Don’t know who’s going to be 1st to make a comment about the continuing lack of Auditorium HD, damn those publishers & the SCEE hurdles.
On the positive its all about the PS+ content this week for me.
gaffers101
Same here, just the PS+ content for me too.
simplebob
Is there any info about why this still hasnt come to EU. This cant just be down to localisation anymore can it?
wuntunzee
I too am vexed about Auditorium, thought Chime might make up for it. it was a resounding non.
TSBonyman
Oh come on cc_star – i think we could have guessed who is going to be first to mention it ;)
cc_star
;)
aerobes
I’m both disappointed and frustrated at the continued delay of its arrival.
It’s so far beyond the joke now they might well have released it on April 1st and had a jolly old chuckle at us poor saps. Ridiculous.
OBBICH
There’s a lot of best start downloading. I knew being a PS+ member would pay off! :)
Forrest_01
The permanent price reductions – Are they PSP games?
Never heard of any of ’em!
kivi95
minis and one psp game.
Forrest_01
Ah ok thanks – I won’t get excited then as I don’t have a PSP & don’t do minis! :)
Aquastyle
Wait…so the Socom beta is now avaivable to everyone? If so, sweet!
R4U Eldave0
Expect a lot of updates before you get into a game. I physically gave up after downloading the beta and then waiting an hour and a bit for the updates to download lol.
Aquastyle
Not doing it if it’s Crysis 2 all over again with all the hiccups and errors before I can get into an match. Not, cool.
Bilbo_bobbins
Crysis 2 is fine now, it was just the beta. Download it over night, should be fine.
MaD dOctoR 79
beta from psn is 450mb’s then after that’s installed there is an in game update of 1.5gb, just leave it over night or when you’re not using your ps3.
it’s certainly worth it.
R4U Eldave0
With the exception of a BlueToad avatar there is nothing jumping out at me this week. Definately a good thing as I’ve just bought a new car so I’m skint and have waaaay too many games to play through as it is lol :) Just out of interest, does anyone know if the new KZ3 DLC come with trophies? I’m quite fond of my 100% completion and would hate to see it go… :(
kivi95
Dungeon Hunter: Alliance looks like a great game.
matthangzhou
All of the old KZ2 packs came additional trophies so I would say so! I wish there was an option to only display the original games percentage and not DLC!
3shirts
Karoshi is brilliant on mobile devices, if you don’t have it, try that mini. It’s very different
billsmugs
Do you know if its different at all to the original Game Maker version?
Foxhound_Solid
Loads for me esp PS+ stuff :-D
StevenHibs
Is the Playstation Network down for anyone? I just purchased the PS+ for another 15 months and it wont sign me back in again?
StevenHibs
eu.playstation.com is undergoing essential maintenance and is currently unavailable. In the meantime, you can visit the websites below. I guess that has something to do with it!
cc_star
anon is at it again today
Bladesteel
Looks like it. If I had to guess I’d say anonymous is at it again.
Crazy_Del
I think just the PS+ for me. It’s alot lol. Need to make some more memory space.
Crazy_Del
I might not download anything today just in case something happens and/or it will take an awful long time downloading like last week and CoD Maps before.
phantom5813
