European PSN Store releases for May 8th

by Jem Alexander { May 8th 2008 at 11:37AM }

SCEE has (mostly) kept their promise today with the second update of the week. While the Bourne Conspiracy demo and echochrome trailer seem to be missing, everything else has made it intact. With ten videos to watch from PlayStation Day (weighing in at a total of almost 3.4GB) there's plenty of stuff to watch from the show. Here's the full release list:

Playable content

Race Driver GRID demo (free)

Add-on content

Guitar Hero III "Def Leppard" track pack (£3.99/€4.99)
Guitar Hero III "Muse" track pack (£3.99/€4.99)
Army of Two "SSC Challenge" game pack (£3.99/€4.99)

Trailers

Mirror's Edge Gameplay trailer (free)
PlayStation Day "Introduction: Kaz Hirai" video (free)
PlayStation Day "Play has no limitations" video (free)
PlayStation Day "Play is hiding and waiting" video (free)
PlayStation Day "Play is full throttle" video (free)
PlayStation Day "Play is a thousand stories" video (free)
PlayStation Day "Play brings us together" video (free)
PlayStation Day "Play is moving hips, lips" video (free)
PlayStation Day "Play is unexplored" video (free)
PlayStation Day "Summary: Play" video (free)
PlayStation Day Compilation Trailer (free)

Be sure to check out that Mirror's Edge gameplay footage in all its HD glory. It really is stunning looking. If you're not particularly interested in PlayStation Day then there's not a lot here for you, unless you're a Guitar Hero III or Army of Two fan.

Disappointed by no Bourne demo

Trev @ May 8th 2008 12:07PM

Same here. I thought I saw that in another list dated for today.

James @ May 8th 2008 12:24PM

It's on 360 already, I think. If that applies to you...

andreas @ May 8th 2008 1:30PM

me 2, I realy looked forward 2 it... :(

I'd be ga-ga for Mirror's Edge if not for the silly eye-marking and that it's multiplatform. I already got let down with GTA being less than it could be because of m-plat.

Hey it was shown on the ps3 first! That must count for something. If Sony found it good enough to show it at their Playstation Day I think it's logical to assume that it will run great on the ps3.

Where's the US update? They usually go up over night, but it's 11:00 AM CST and hasn't shown yet. >.

adolson @ May 8th 2008 12:01PM

The US update doesn't usually happen for another 3 and a half to 6 hours from now..

If you have an australian account the bourne demos on it right now, just if you were wondering

David @ May 8th 2008 12:06PM

I'll open up an Australian account too then!

"If you're not particularly interested in PlayStation Day then there's not a lot here for you, unless you're a Guitar Hero III or Army of Two fan."

What about GRID? That game looks wicked good. If that's not coming to the US store I'll be opening a European account just to download that demo.

Paul (PSN: heypaul) @ May 8th 2008 12:33PM

I agree. If GRID is even half as good as Dirt, I'm sold.

wilboss @ May 8th 2008 12:32PM

I'm definitely a Guitar Hero III fan, looking forward to picking up some more new songs - the DLC is coming at a fair old rate now!

James @ May 8th 2008 1:27PM

I hope GRID is good because I'm p*$$*d off: I waited six months for High Velocity Bowling and when it finally arrived I found out it is utter CRAP. The figure bowls over a second after you do - a separate action altogether which makes a mockery of the gameplay - and the pins fall over so slowly it looks fake as hell (yes I know it IS fake but what about realistic gameplay?). Nowhere near as good as WiiSports Bowling - where you get a sense of speed from the ball and a big crash of pins. Plus you don't watch the bowler from ten feet behind him/her and to one side like on HVB.

Awful, awful rubbish. Anyone know if Home Bowling is the same?

Thanks for the euros Jem !

Looking forward to the Mirror's Edge hi-def trailer. The only think I was a little let down about when viewing the online footage was that it lacked a a certain degree of fidelity.

Hopefully the HD version allays these niggling fears.
