The press release is in and we can now reveal the lineup for today's US PSN Store update. While we're not entirely sure when the update will take place, you can look forward to seeing the following filling your hard drive at some point later today:
- Blast Factor: Advanced Research expansion ($4.99)
- Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 demo (free)
- The Darkness demo (free)
- Michael Clayton movie trailer (free)
- Get Smart movie trailer (free)
- The Game Plan movie trailer (free)
- [Update: Super Rub-a-Dub has dropped in price to a mere $2.99!]
Well what do you know. We were
right. We look forward to tucking into the delights of
Advanced Research later today. Not to mention the two demos - both of which are available right now on the EU PSN Store, but nevermind. This feels like a much more substantial update than we've seen in Europe today. You guys should be very pleased.

Awesome! :)
ryano @ Aug 2nd 2007 1:03PM
completly off topic but i heard a rumor that the latest EGM reviewed Blue Dragon and Lair and gave them both 5.5-6.5 mediocre reviews. Persona 3 on the other hand recieved GOTM with 8.5-9.5 ratings. can anyone confirm this??

WOW! Two demos???? Hell must have frozen over and pigs are now taking flight!!! Sony, keep it coming, let this just be the beginning of many meaty updates.
doshey @ Aug 2nd 2007 1:14PM

Neil @ Aug 2nd 2007 1:59PM
Not very exciting at all, but I do want to try out The Darkness demo so I wont knock this update.
mccomber @ Aug 2nd 2007 2:02PM
I'm looking forward to a Lair demo more than ever. May be a tipping point as to whether I buy it at release or wait.

First Emo midway and now this. Today is a down day for Sony news. I wish they had more crap to offer I realize these things take time.
Tru-blue @ Aug 2nd 2007 2:45PM
right on! cannot wait to get home from work and try out the two demos.
Joe @ Aug 2nd 2007 3:40PM
Nice now I can try both games. I hope next week we will get more demos plus new games. If there could also be some PS1 games that would also be great.
Andy @ Aug 2nd 2007 4:06PM
Pretty soon I am going to have to cancel my download every demo policy, there will be too many so I'll have to pick and choose.
ps3fosho @ Aug 16th 2007 3:47PM
ay dont try to hustle ps3 as if 360 has anything better
The1 @ Aug 2nd 2007 4:35PM
I do not see the DEMO's on the PSN.
never$$hort @ Aug 2nd 2007 4:44PM
I already have The Darkness but I'll have to check out the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 demo for sure...
James @ Aug 2nd 2007 5:19PM
Downloaded the Darkness demo last week from the UK. Why the hell do we have regions on PSN again?
GRAW better be good. The PS2 version sucked.
Peter @ Aug 2nd 2007 5:41PM
Yeah, it's 5:38pm eastern time and still nothing on the US Store.
Toby @ Aug 2nd 2007 5:39PM
my ps store didnt update?
Justin @ Aug 2nd 2007 5:48PM
Not on the US Store yet...no answer as to why...
Downloaded the GRAW 2 Demo from the UK store...
it didn't work the first 100 times...
then after it finally downloaded...it wouldnt install...
at ALL.
so i deleted...and tried to re-download...and its a No-Go. Won't download.
WTF is up?
and why not on the US Store?!
Justin @ Aug 2nd 2007 5:51PM
but the odd thing...is my friend...who lives close to where I do, was playing GRAW2 Demo earlier this morning...from the UK store.
SilentNoise3 @ Aug 2nd 2007 7:15PM
The demos are up in the store. It's 6:10 Central Time
mccomber @ Aug 2nd 2007 11:50PM
The GRAW2 demo is good; but this is definitely another game that looks to be better on the 360. Didn't notice too much as far as framerate issues, but the overall look is better on the 360. They did some strange stuff, and things we've seen before; pulled random plants from the scenery, the effects in the environment aren't quite as smooth, and the textures aren't as good, most notably in the camo pattern on your fatigues.
It's nothing that stands out as awful or should keep ps3 owners from buying the game if they want it, but it's another average port from what I've seen in the demos for both.
mark @ Aug 3rd 2007 4:53PM
Sweet! I'm gonna get it now!

Graw 2 Demo is great - compared to RSV that is :P
Give it time and PS3 will get better - Haze is on the horizon - a PS3 exclusive (for this year at least :D) so yeah :) look forward to gaming

The Darkness demo totally impressed me, I mean, it was gorgeous, but it was also very fun. I think I even played the demo longer than Dirt.
I never thought I would like this game, but I am thinking of buying it.
I love the pacing. There's some action, then these spaces where you can absorb the atmosphere of the game, wander around... I thought the pacing, graphics, music, and idea were excellent. I was totally, surprisingly, impressed.
