The
PAIN content continues this week with another new character to lob around your virtual city. Unfortunately, there's no sign of any new levels for the game so chances are this new character won't add too much new gameplay for you for the time being. Still, for less than a dollar it's worth a punt. Here's the full release list:
- PAIN Skurv Dogg Character ($0.99)
- Rock Band "Nine Inch Nails" pack ($5.49)
- March of the Pigs ($1.99)
- The Collector ($1.99)
- The Perfect Drug ($1.99)
- Guitar Hero III -- No Doubt Track Pack ($6.25): Featuring Don't Speak, Excuse Me Mr. and Sunday Morning
- MLB 08 The Show Music Video (free)
- MLB 08 The Show Blog Video (free)
- NBA 08 Amare Stoudmire Bio (free)
- Condemned 2: Bloodshot Trailer 1 (free)
- Lost Planet Trailer (free)
- Star Trek Teaser Trailer (free)
- PAIN: Skurv Dogg Theme (free)
- Rocketman: Axis of Evil wallpaper (free)
This is a good day for fans of rhythm games. Both
Rock Band and
Guitar Hero III have a worthwhile download pack going for them. The
Guitar Hero pack is almost a dollar more expensive, but we'll forgive them that this week simply because we quite like "Don't Speak" by No Doubt. Sports fans have a few interesting videos to grab and trekkies can get their hands on a HD version of the Star Trek movie teaser trailer. Not a bad haul, overall.

Woot!
Those The Show videos will have me even more pumped for the release on Tuesday!
Tranando @ Feb 28th 2008 3:35PM
GGRRRR, still no Euro release of PAIN..
What the fuck are SCEE upto?? It's embarrassingly bad, and they wonder why people bitch about PS3...

Solidarity!

The great Sony lives on European tears!
JAH75157 @ Feb 28th 2008 3:45PM
gimmie some damn demos!
drdre74 @ Feb 28th 2008 3:47PM
No Warhawk or COD4 patch? What is Sony doing with these lame updates today?
Kodros @ Feb 28th 2008 4:04PM
Patches aren't really part of PSN Thursday.
ltefoe @ Feb 28th 2008 3:49PM
1 word:
SUCK

"Not a bad haul, overall."
This must be some kind of sick joke. We get the weekly Rock Band update and the occasional Guitar Hero pack, both things not mandated by Sony at all. Let's see what Sony gave us on their own volition? A handful of videos and an expansion character for a game that really is not even that good. Where are the demos? More specifically, where is the Hot Shots Golf demo? It's on the Euro store right now in complete English, but Sony would rather keep the US store in the dark this week by holding it for a later date. XBOX live has had a Turning Point demo for about a week now, where's ours?
Where are the PS1 games? That too, in itself is a joke, since they're running out of Jet Moto and Crash games to give us. Just a handful of videos is inexcusable. PSN is still a joke even after a year of the system's release. When your competitor is dedicated to releasing one arcade game a week (regardless of quality), what do you offer in retaliation?
This is just one big joke.

They hate you. Like, bad.
flynn110 @ Feb 28th 2008 3:52PM
what is with these terrible updates over the past few weeks? i could care less about trailers and videos. i bought this system to play games. they really need to start stepping up.
True_Darknight @ Feb 28th 2008 3:55PM
OK so you want the european Hot Shot Gold Demo? so who's stoping ya from getting it??
it's in English. I mean come on!!
U see the EU store update?? it blows.
Just go play some Burnout Paradise or something
Daniel @ Feb 28th 2008 3:58PM
I hereby decree that Rock Band and GHIII (I'm sick of hearing about both of them) DLC no longer be listed as part of the weekly updates. Give those overrated games their own seperate sections on the PSN and get back to having some decent demos/games on the regular Thursday update.
JKPierce @ Feb 28th 2008 4:03PM
Yeah, everything should be by Daniel's standards. Damn you if you were waiting today to see what Rock Band songs were coming out. I totally was, but Daniel reminded us all that he didn't like it so it is overrated.
Daniel @ Feb 28th 2008 4:11PM
Where exactly in my post did I say I didn't like either game? I played both and had fun. That doesn't mean they aren't overrated or over-exposed. I was simply saying that the song updates shouldn't be included in the PSN weekly updates. They should be handled in a seperate section or directly by Harmonix/Activision as not to pad the weekly updates. Why would it be such a bad thing to have a Weekly store update with demos/full games/videos and then have a seperate DLC update?
Michael K. @ Feb 28th 2008 4:01PM
another week of worthless crap, why do i bother checking? this sucks
gumby @ Feb 28th 2008 4:01PM
I will add another voice to the frustration. This year has been sucktastic for the PSN so far.
deusmecha @ Feb 28th 2008 4:02PM
Shitty update, ahoy!
V_V
Matt B @ Feb 28th 2008 4:05PM
It's call fuckin' Guitar Hero not Pop Star Hero. No Doubt?!?!?! GTFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As sparse as the GH3 DLC see is and they put out this shit!!
I'd punch a wall if I couldn't control myself.
JKPierce @ Feb 28th 2008 4:11PM
So far, this is the only intelligent complaint. Whiny bastards.
HAAS599 @ Feb 28th 2008 4:11PM
not a no doubt fan i guess.
These tracks are before they went too poppy for me. So I would get them but I only have rock band.
This is the first time I'm jealous of the GHIII DLC.
Simstim @ Feb 28th 2008 4:07PM
The updates this year have so very shitty on a consistent basis.
HAAS599 @ Feb 28th 2008 4:24PM
should have expected this.
everyone is holding their cards till spring.
if a couple weeks it will pick up big time (i hope)
Daniel @ Feb 28th 2008 4:14PM
I agree 100%. And NIN? I don't care what people say, NIN is NOT rock, it's like industrial techno and "dude-with-a-computer-making-techno-beats" is not a Rock-Band.
OAKside @ Feb 28th 2008 4:32PM
It could be called experimental rock, or a number of other things. Bottom line: NIN is Rock Band worthy, but I don't own RB (or GHIII) so ... I'd appreciate some decent content for other games as well. Someday...
saul @ Feb 28th 2008 4:23PM
why is everyone so negative? this bums me out. the main thing i am looking forward to is the new CoD4 maps but i know they won't be out for a long time. a new pain level might be nice. and i can't wait for pj eden.
but really what did everyone expect? really?
Neon @ Feb 28th 2008 4:32PM
Jesus you people are a bunch of whiners. Granted, these aren't STELLAR updates but if you expect high quality you are just going to have to wait. If you don't like it, get off your high horse, start a developer studio and push some stuff out yourself!
reson8er @ Feb 28th 2008 4:35PM
Yeah RB and GH stuff is cool if your into that. But I agree with others that say not having at least one PS1 game per week is inexcuseable. Additionally, on really crappy weeks they should give us like 5 or 6 from different genres so everyone can STFU.
Just my 2 cents.
saul @ Feb 28th 2008 5:09PM
i agree. i just think they are really losing money by not re-releasing ps1 games. i can't imagine that it takes that much effort. i'd like to see rival schools re released.
Sack @ Feb 28th 2008 5:10PM
Horrible...AGAIN!!! I have all 3 systems, at least I can count on 360 and Wii bringing me new/classic games every week not 1-4 trailers of movies and other BS, christ!!!! get your crap together sony! The only time I fire up my system is to play Stardust which is starting to get old, and watch blurays. Give me more original arcade content. You have had LONG enough to get it together. This is just sorry....
Eggy @ Feb 28th 2008 5:39PM
Sony should just quit updating weekly but only when they get something new, there will be people whining every week when they don't get what they want. They forget that a year has 52 weeks and the PS3 willl have to be interesting for a minimum of 5 years. If they'd release all the content in 1.5 years than people will have nothing to look forward to anymore.
Maybe it's the lower average age of the console gamer these days. But I've never seen a bigger bunch of whining babies. They act like they have the right to a huge amount of content each week. Preferably several demos as well. Wake up!
What the fuzz @ Feb 28th 2008 6:31PM
Buy some games poor ass!
I hate the people who wait each week for a brand new demo and whine when they don't!
Seriously, It's embarrassing when you have all the demos on your hdd and like 1 or 2 full games. (cough* my cousin, and friend! cough* cough*)
gregory mitchell @ Feb 28th 2008 7:34PM
uhh what games....beat heavenly sword, ninja gaiden, resistance, COD4(360) NFS, uncharted,. Just got ps3 christmas. i was happy when i found the bowling. but why havent there been more, baseball maybe
Daniel @ Feb 28th 2008 11:19PM
For the record I am a different Daniel LOL...
Anyway, I concur. These updates suck. I mean they don't HAVE to give us anything and some people complain a little TOO much about it but at the same time it's getting ridiculous now.
