nice update

kevin @ Aug 14th 2008 5:21PM

"Tiger Woods 2008 demo (free)"

isnt it 2009?

Averna @ Aug 14th 2008 8:24PM

Yeah I think it is 2009. Europe gets Tiger Woods 2008 demo in a few months though *golfclap SCEE*

davebo @ Aug 14th 2008 4:22PM

How's that for a change of pace? A week with great PSN content I want, and no Rock Bands songs I like. Usually it's the opposite.

dadanman @ Aug 14th 2008 4:26PM

Nice Update. I can't wait to get home and get BC!

liam @ Aug 14th 2008 4:28PM

by which I mean first post for me today

Devin @ Aug 14th 2008 4:42PM

uhhuh...........................................

mhardaway @ Aug 14th 2008 4:34PM

lol "First Fail"!

Man, i've been looking forward to BC for a long time. The original game was one of my favorites (where is the blaster master remake, or even an awesome Maniac Mansion remake!!!)

AF @ Aug 14th 2008 4:36PM

No Soul Calibur content? Japan just got a second batch of clothing items, etc.

Gambit07 @ Aug 14th 2008 4:46PM

BTW it should be Tiger Woods '09.

SleeplessKn1ght @ Aug 14th 2008 4:46PM

I hope the demo for Tiger Wood is 09 not 08.

saito ps3 @ Aug 14th 2008 4:47PM

i already downloaded the bionic commando demo in Japanese, havnt tried it yet, im looking at the 1942 demo because im on the verge of deciding if i want it or not

murdew78 @ Aug 14th 2008 4:47PM

WHAT are you talking about? This is the best Rockband content to come in months.

Waqman @ Aug 14th 2008 5:14PM

Uhmm...the Who says you're wrong.

Also, just bought BC: Rearmed. Bloody fantastic.

Devin @ Aug 14th 2008 4:48PM

Keep it up SCEA

realityzero @ Aug 14th 2008 4:52PM

this update is going to hurt the wallet

lorddshadow @ Aug 14th 2008 5:38PM

bc demo & game - awesome!
bioshock theme - awesome!
more demos - awesome!
street fighter - awesome?
today's update - awesome!

HAAS599 @ Aug 14th 2008 5:49PM

SCEA was so close to perfection with this update, but without Life with Playstation it only gets a 9/10.

great job!

Deadpool @ Aug 14th 2008 5:57PM

"street fighter - awesome?"

You can play it on PSP too, not to mention it was the start of an awesome game series. So I say...

street fighter - awesome!

linebeginstoblur @ Aug 14th 2008 6:27PM

@HAAS599,
I don't think you'll find LWPS on the Store. I think it will come as a firmware update as something new on the XMB, most likely in Network. At least that's what I expected. Anyway, yes, this update was amazing. I cannot wait to get my hands on BCR. :)

TXCrowe @ Aug 14th 2008 5:47PM

Wow, what a crap-tastic Rock Band Update.
Enough with the sub-par metal releases already!

SG @ Aug 14th 2008 6:46PM

STILL no more Dead Space comics? WTF?

DAYCALLMMYNAME @ Aug 14th 2008 8:10PM

I bought Bionic Commando, I'm downloading it right now!! cant wait to play this its getting trophies too

nakedatthecomp @ Aug 15th 2008 1:44PM

i can't even beat the first boss at the oil refinery :(

dude @ Aug 14th 2008 9:08PM

any word on what 2.40 coolness bc:r gets?
ingame music/ trophies
i think i heard trophies already, but any confirmation?
please say yes to ingame music!
if its got in game music ill probably pick it up.. otherwise, im saving up for the load of games coming our way later.

matahtak @ Aug 14th 2008 11:09PM

I wish I tried the 1942 demo before buying, it's utter shit. And I'm a big arcade shooter fan (fuck schump definition). Would like to see Gradius show up.

Anywho, Bionic Commando Rearmed is amazing. Everyone can agree on that. Street Fighter Alpha is cool, but rather annoying with all the Now Loading screens. No analog stick support either. Oh well, still pretty fun for some classic fun.

I'm getting pretty excited for The Last Guy now, that last
"behind the scenes" wasn't that funny or great. Really interesting to see the actual gameplay. Looks really fun.

Going to try out the NHL2K9 demo now.

DAYCALLMMYNAME @ Aug 15th 2008 10:24PM

yea lol i played the demo and it was garbage and that is one of my favorite style of games..

Ptrack_Git @ Aug 15th 2008 12:36AM

Blaster Master is the best game EVER (with the worst name ever...) remake it now!

jimb @ Aug 22nd 2008 5:24PM

Hate to point this out ...

....nah who am I kidding

I think you'll find it being Tiger Woods 09' not 08' which has been released for over a year. But i'll chalk this one up to a simple mistake seeing as there's so many dates up there it was an easy mistake to make.
