according to EA there is a NHL 09 Demo up as well. I'm not home to check but its on EA's website.

Cory @ Aug 21st 2008 5:55PM

Nevermind EA changed their website and now it just says "in August". Before it said August 21st for PS3 early September for Xbox. Guess they changed it so they could get it out for both systems around the same time. BOO!!!

OddyOh @ Aug 21st 2008 7:16PM

Yeah, I checked NHL 09 this morning as was all excited...bah! It's better be next week then!!!

Josh @ Aug 21st 2008 5:45PM

Why all the inFamous videos and themes? Isn't that game coming out in some unknown time in 2009? I would think there are plenty of other games to focus on this fall!

Averna @ Aug 21st 2008 8:31PM

Too much promotion is not a bad thing... especially when it comes to Sony games.

Darkdrium777 @ Aug 21st 2008 5:46PM

Anyone know if they will release the new WipEout HD trailer in 1080p on the PS-Store? Or I've got to go find it somewhere else... :/
I really want to start watching and re-watching that one instead of the older one :P

Darkdrium777 @ Aug 21st 2008 5:48PM

Never mind I have just read the European PSN Update. I guess I'll go ahead and make a europe account.

John @ Aug 21st 2008 5:47PM

Great weekly update this one!

chililili @ Aug 21st 2008 5:49PM

W00T! sweet last guy demo and star wars demo, not too mention quest for booty!

Isaac Cavazos @ Aug 21st 2008 5:49PM

Downloaded demo and got error when trying to install.

Gambit07 @ Aug 21st 2008 5:57PM

tristan88 @ Aug 21st 2008 6:10PM

iamkid @ Aug 21st 2008 6:12PM

cant wait for RaCF:QfB!

Billy Cool @ Aug 21st 2008 6:12PM

Isn't there a Retail Ratchet with Manuel and more in september or just for Europe (PLEASE ANSWER!)

Majed Athab @ Aug 21st 2008 6:19PM

EU only.

derrock69 @ Aug 21st 2008 6:14PM

Finally a demo of SWU, this just made my week sadly :)

adrien @ Aug 21st 2008 6:18PM

if you say "sadly" now, wait till you play it lol. what a let down.

Cory @ Aug 21st 2008 6:15PM

Does anyone know why the PS3 version of the Star Wars demo is 400MB larger then the Xbox version? Is something different?

adrien @ Aug 21st 2008 6:20PM

400 more mgs of suckage. lol sorry, i can't help myself. this game blows.

Cory @ Aug 21st 2008 6:23PM

I don't know I enjoyed the demo on the xbox. Certainly too awhile to get used to but once i got a hang of the controls it was pretty good. not great but still good.

madeleine @ Aug 21st 2008 6:24PM

Has Sony given up on providing HD theatrical movie trailers on the PSN? It's been over a month since they've posted a new one.

Eggy @ Aug 22nd 2008 4:53AM

Maybe they can be found on the video store?

Darkage @ Aug 21st 2008 6:27PM

Americans pay $5 less for RaC than the UK. Sounds about right. I guess that the rest of the EU is even worse off.

Majed Athab @ Aug 21st 2008 6:38PM

The American price does not yet have the tax added on.

Tauvix @ Aug 21st 2008 6:51PM

Just purchased Quest for Booty. And now for the exceptionally long download. I started the download at 6:35pm, and at 6:50pm it's 5% done. At this rate it'll be done in 5 hours. This is on a 10mbps connection.

On the other hand, I'll have great fun playing :)

kevin @ Aug 21st 2008 6:55PM

7 mpbs download for me and done in around 50 minutes :/

Cory @ Aug 21st 2008 6:56PM

Hmmm. Thats 2 hours longer then the play time haha! My download is taking just as long.

creyes4182 @ Aug 21st 2008 6:53PM

You guys where right about unleashed. I was a little disappointed too :/

Sica @ Aug 21st 2008 7:06PM

Screw tax, NH doesn't have sales tax.

55% on quest for booty and its been 2 hours. Where all the servers at sony?

NwrksBigBoss @ Aug 21st 2008 7:08PM

That Star Wars demo was such a let down, ugh.

tristan88 @ Aug 21st 2008 7:22PM

i had no expectations for this game so that probably why im one of the few here who liked it. for a while now the gameplay vids have been looking average so i lost most hype. i definitely wont buy it but it was still a fun demo. controls are a bit finicky though.

Gman @ Aug 21st 2008 11:42PM

I didn't think it was terrible, but I do agree the controls could use a little work... rent it someday, I will

NipGrip @ Aug 21st 2008 7:18PM

Sweet update, picking up the R&C game, played the Force demo (not too shabby! Kinda GoW-y fighting with a mic of cool force moves and physics manipulation), and checking out the Last Guy demo. Add me if you'd like:

Doug @ Aug 21st 2008 8:28PM

I liked the force Unleashed. Controls were weird, a little bit of a let down. But, i see it more of a Rent. Which, i will. It is enjoyable.

Although, Mine didn't play in 1080i, or 720p. It went all the way down to 480i, anyone else have this issue?

Vii @ Aug 21st 2008 10:14PM

I find it ironic that Kratos is being added to Hot Shots Golf when the Star Wars: Force Unleashed demo is exactly the same as God of War with a controllable camera and sans dodge mechanic. Its a terrible combination especially, when, oh I don't know I'm BEING BLASTED CONSTANTLY BY AN AT-ST!!!!

Ok, gonna calm down. The point I'm trying to make is that the game should stay in dev for another few months to smooth things out. Otherwise I really hope the demo is not completely representative of the finished product.

Gman @ Aug 21st 2008 11:40PM

Did anyone download SW: TFU? What did you think? I liked it, but I found that throwing things was difficult. It is so simple to pick stuff up, if there are enemies shooting you, it is hard to take their fire and line up the shot for throwing something at them. Maybe I just need more practice...

Kspraydad @ Aug 21st 2008 11:50PM

For anyone with a SDTV I think you can pretty much right off Last Guy...I can't make out an f'ing thing.

gaymerxbox360 @ Aug 22nd 2008 1:08AM

Star Wars Unleashed is not that good. Well maybe the demo sucks, and the game might be better.

gaymerxbox360 @ Aug 22nd 2008 1:09AM

Oh, The Last Guy game is going to ROCK !!

Andy @ Aug 22nd 2008 8:43AM

GREAT UPDATE!!!

R&C: Booty
Great value for 15 bucks. Short, but you'd expect that for a fourth the price. Lacking in a few areas (like weapons) but still a great buy.

Rock Band DLC
Both Duran Duran songs are really fun on drums and guitar. Dunno about bass, but vocals should be fun too. "Get Your Rock On" sounds great, and is really easy on all instruments, tho there's a nice little twist near the end on drums.

HSG Kratos
Awesome crossover. I love the golf-club-head-on-a-chain as his driver. And his quotes are pretty cool too.

SW:TFU Demo
Fun, I guess. But there are some things I hope they fix before release. Clunky controls, graphics could probably be better. If not, I might wait on this one until I can get it at a little cheaper used price.

The Last Guy Demo
Maybe it's just the short length of the demo, but I don't know why there's as much hype for this game. I didn't find it to be all that great.

Warhawk expansion trailer has me really excited for it to come out!!
