A whole lot of nothing this week. The opposite of last week.

Keane Maloney @ Mar 27th 2008 6:30PM

please ps1....what are you doing you idiots...

Andrew @ Mar 31st 2008 10:36PM

Ah yes, the new GTA IV trailer!

Andrew @ Mar 27th 2008 6:31PM

I'd say it was a good update, content for 5 games, 2 for free, 2 great games discounted and lots of videos :)

Liquid Ocelot (call me Liquid) @ Mar 27th 2008 6:31PM

My god you're a complainer...anyway, i might pick up those Idol songs, but even the very essence of owning that game would sadden me.

Rick @ Mar 27th 2008 6:38PM

does that warhawk price cut only apply to the downloadable version or does it apply to the retail blu-ray version as well?

Kira @ Mar 27th 2008 7:45PM

I believe Warhawk retail was discontinued, I've only found it used.

Liam Reidy @ Mar 27th 2008 6:39PM

omg american update before europe ..speechless .. though were getting GT5:Prologue meh ill wait

Christian @ Mar 27th 2008 6:42PM

You americans and your PSN updates. We don't need any fricking PSN updates here in Europe, cause....um...well...ok so not having any update at all sucks a bit....well....we dont care....cause we can.....um....sing kumbaja instead!

kumbaja Sony, kumbaja oh Sony kumbaja

Rick @ Mar 27th 2008 6:42PM

lol

Jem @ Mar 27th 2008 6:43PM

Is that pronounced "Kumbadger", Christian? :)

ajiezer @ Mar 27th 2008 6:41PM

Yeah what about Europe?

shane @ Mar 27th 2008 6:43PM

Erm hello wtf is up with the European update? We're getting GT5 Prologue for chrissakes, it's nearly 11pm!

Rick @ Mar 27th 2008 6:44PM

they didnt forget about you... they just... uhh... well maybe they did forget! lol

TinyTim121 @ Mar 27th 2008 6:54PM

Oh for gods sake Sony, please do some decent updates for us Europeans!

I want the Condemmend 2 demo!! >=[

Daniel @ Mar 27th 2008 7:04PM

^ LOL

Nice update, although I was hoping the Burnout add-ons would be out today. Still a great all around update...every week I more and more want UT3 LOL

Daniel @ Mar 27th 2008 7:43PM

my LOL was directed at Jem's badger comment btw

RegimeNoir @ Mar 27th 2008 6:58PM

what the hell is up with these rockband DLC's. Who the hell cares about Boston.

Galley @ Mar 27th 2008 7:01PM

Uh, the 17 million + people who bought their debut album?

Liquid Ocelot (call me Liquid) @ Mar 27th 2008 7:17PM

Wow, looks like it's time for someone to never talk EVER again. HOW THE F*K DO YOU NOT LIKE BOSTON? Get him outta here, boys.

Phizzy @ Mar 27th 2008 7:21PM

What the hell are you talking about? I'm very excited about the Boston pack and hope it's put up at the European release of the game. It might be a bit disorienting to put up all the DLC that's been released on day one... Oh wait, I forgot about that Rock Band Store thing, ignore me, it's all good.

Kira @ Mar 27th 2008 7:50PM

I've been waiting for this. It's been such a long time. If we could get some Clutch and maybe Gov't Mule, I'd finally start working towards buying Rock Band.

I do like the update, I wish they'd upload all of the MGS4 trailers, but I know that's wishful thinking. Just need more game video previews and I'd be psyched.

Haiddasalami @ Mar 27th 2008 6:58PM

Whats the flow bundle? I am interested if bundled with another game =] and who plays Turok?

xvertigenx @ Mar 27th 2008 7:02PM

Is the GTAIV trailer the same one that was released today by Rockstar?

RagingStormX @ Mar 27th 2008 7:26PM

Turok multiplayer map pack for $5?? WTF.....lmao. Oh well...nothing for me this week.

never$$hort @ Mar 27th 2008 8:21PM

I know right, haha!! Who the hell actually owns Turok!?!? and if they did I doubt they'd wanna pay one penny more let alone $5 for that piece of crap... Definitely the WORST demo I've ever played!

Joe @ Mar 27th 2008 7:46PM

Meh, this update doesn't do a lot for me, I'm sure it's great for others though :)

emaxximus @ Mar 27th 2008 7:49PM

Procrastinating to get Warhawk paid off. Woohoo!

matahtak @ Mar 27th 2008 8:20PM

I bought the fl0w pack, I was thinking of getting the game when it was $8.99... so a dollar more I get the expansion as well. So while the expansion pack was downloading I tried the game out and beat it. Seriously, took me less than 10 minutes. Definitely wasn't worth the price compared to PixelJunk Monsters or even LocoRoco.

I might consider getting Warhawk... just wish we'd get some good Rock Band DLC. At least we got that Oasis pack way back when.

Ayrkain @ Mar 27th 2008 11:39PM

Re: fl0w

Yer doing it wrong

matahtak @ Mar 29th 2008 10:52PM

No, you eat things and get all the way to the bottom, and unlock different creature things... then you unlock them all and see the credits. The expansion just gives you another creature. It's so easy.

The one thing that I did like after playing with a buddy is somehow we managed to create screenshots while playing. No idea how we did it... but they make great wallpapers for the PS3.

matahtak @ Mar 29th 2008 10:55PM

Oh ya Ayrkain, I forgot to thank you for coming out anyway. I think you should head over to wiifanboy.com instead of here. I think that's more on your level.

Matt @ Mar 27th 2008 8:44PM

I wish now that I didn't buy Warhawk already...woulda loved this price. Anyone think flOw is that exceptional that it's worth it? Might pick it up--was hesitant before but with the expansion it's different. Haven't tried the map pack for UT3 yet but that's gotta show promise I'd think. And finally between the trailers and the MGS4 wallpaper, I'm really happy with this update, even though I'm always more of a fan of playable demos of games, haha...

Joe @ Mar 27th 2008 9:37PM

If there is any one that has not bought Warhawk yet. I say BUY it. It is an awesome game and with the cheaper price I really think more people should buy this game. Why because Warhawks online play is really great. So why not download this game. The best part is a great game is even cheaper now so if you have not bought Warhawk yet you should get it now.

borocouncilman @ Mar 27th 2008 11:09PM

Agreed, Warhawk is pretty much undeniably awesome. It's got everything. Aerial combat, ground combat, heavy armor, artillery, mines, good weapon balance, and maps with genuine variety. Great stuff.

jerseysmell @ Mar 27th 2008 10:09PM

The Wyclef Music video isn't bad. The song isn't bad either...

gordon_strange @ Mar 28th 2008 9:41AM

silly question prolly, but if i dload this from the u.s. store to my uk ps3 will i have issues (ala warhawk and the add on probs)? or will it be fine?

matahtak @ Mar 27th 2008 11:12PM

I did a little read up on Warhawk, seems pretty cool that you can have 4 player splitscreen. I think I'll buy/download it.

borocouncilman @ Mar 27th 2008 11:05PM

The free Unreal Tournament Map Pack is pretty awesome from a retro perspective. It's pure nostalgia. I've now played Morbias through four versions of Unreal Tournament!

If you're up for some vintage UT, send a friend request to "borocouncilman".

PeterBeck @ Mar 27th 2008 10:58PM

Ugh, I JUST bought flOw barely a week ago...

Ah well, I'll have some sweet sweet Boston to soothe what ails me...

padraig @ Mar 27th 2008 11:32PM

wat bout europe cmon dnt piss all over us again sony im sick of dis

Da @ Mar 28th 2008 12:42AM

err.. what?

R.crisp @ Mar 28th 2008 6:40AM

Translation: (Piss is a swear word frequently used in the UK to describe either urinating or drinking alcohol)So : "What about Europe? Come on Sony don't urinate on us again. I'm terribly aggrivated by this."PS I'm quite aware of how patronising this is to teh OP but he needs to learn to spell and stop playing silly buggers

redskyy03 @ Mar 27th 2008 11:49PM

Too bad all of the Karaoke Revolution songs came from previous games developed by Harmonix. I haven't been a fan since Blitz Games took over in KR: American Idol.

I'm loving the Rock Band update and might have to finally take the plunge on flOw.

Asane @ Mar 28th 2008 6:36AM

Bought the Boston Pack for Rock Band and it's tight!!!!!! I never heard of them before and heard the previews and knew immediately I had to buy the pack. Also downloaed the UT3 map pack and played some of it and it's awesome!!!!!!!

ninjacat11 @ Mar 28th 2008 7:29AM

The Mars Volta's in GT5 Prologue? Badass music choice.

Riley Freeman @ Mar 28th 2008 7:45AM

am i the only person thats upset that theres no demo?

adolson @ Mar 28th 2008 11:57AM

No, you're not. I think there should have been a demo, but whatever.

Apparently people here think that the updates suck when we get two demos in one week, but they're great when we get a million downloads for American Idol...

Well, I prefer the demos because they often save me $60.

chris.westermann @ Mar 28th 2008 11:37AM

I am still too pissed off about Firmware 2.20 to care about any new PSN updates. Honestly, Sony has ruined media streaming on the PS3. At first only my MP4 files wouldn't play, now I am noticing a handful of DIVX movies won't play reliably. I get more media stopping suddenly with DLNA errors then before. Was listening to streamed music and was getting distortion on songs I knew were cyrstal clear before Firmware 2.20. Also I noticed coming into or out of some installed games was slower then expected, and there was many problems trying to download content from the PSN, like a "please wait" message that never goes away or the download doesn't start for a few minutes.
I know Sony will fix it up eventually, but Sony was on a roll for a while with firmware updates that always improved the PS3. This last one seemed rushed out for BD Live support when there is no fricken necessity for it now, and they obviously didn't put any testing behind it. Hoping Sony is aware of these issues and is rushing to fix them. I could care less about BD Live support in favour of 100% perfect media streaming.

adolson @ Mar 28th 2008 11:57AM

Yeah... And the browser changes pretty much suck, at least for me. I really preferred the old behaviour of defaulting to download movies.. I wish they made that an option. Having to go into File > Save Target is longer and annoying when you forget to do it.. And some videos just don't download now, like the Insider videos over at IGN.
