European PSN update for September 4th

by Jem Alexander { Sep 4th 2008 at 11:00AM }

Short and sweet update this week, but nothing to be sniffed at. Two demos and two add-on packs mean there's something for pretty much everyone. If you're into driving, hockey or Haze (yeah, we thought not), that is. Warhawk fans have probably already grabbed last week's booster pack, but those new to the game might be tempted by the low-price triple combo pack. Here's the full release list:

Playable content

Pure demo (free)
NHL 2K8 demo (free)

Add-on content

Warhawk "Triple Combo" pack (£7.99/€11.99 -- contains all three booster packs)
Haze "Destruction" pack (£3.49/€4.99)

Videos

Movement episode 5, part 2 -- "London" (includes 8 videos)

Wallpapers and themes

4x SoulCalibur 4 wallpapers

Hmm it seems like the Pure demo ain't showing on my PS store.

adolson @ Sep 4th 2008 11:14AM

NHL 2K8 demo, eh? I knew Europe was behind, but a full year?

Brodie-san @ Sep 4th 2008 11:37AM

Hockey really ain't that popular in Europe.

Steve Childs @ Sep 4th 2008 1:16PM

Na, our hockey is played by real men (and women) without all the Padding ;)

Oh, and without the cold stuff as well - lol

farfisa @ Sep 4th 2008 11:14AM

where´s the Pure demo?

Christian @ Sep 4th 2008 11:32AM

Curious about Pure, wondering how it will stack up against Motorstorm

I.AM.IRON.MAN @ Sep 4th 2008 11:34AM

didn't we get a hocky demo last week?

also, what happened to linger in the shadows, because it ain't lurking (sorry) on the PSN like they said it would...

visuatrox @ Sep 4th 2008 12:00PM

Yea what happened to linger in the shadows!?

Steve @ Sep 4th 2008 3:59PM

I've loved everything I have heard and seen of Linger In Shadows, and I hope Sony continues to promote the demoscene on the PS3.

Brodie-san @ Sep 4th 2008 2:07PM

Linger In Shadows missed its original release date of August 28th due to some issues Plastic had with the certification process.

We should see it in "a couple of weeks" according to its "producer" Michal Staniszewski.

(I've said too much!)

It's NHL 2K9, but it's the same teams as the other hockey demo.

Darkage @ Sep 4th 2008 12:00PM

By the way, the 2K9 demo Is terrible.

maxpontiac @ Sep 4th 2008 11:42AM

Haze DLC?

I wasn't expecting this, I might just pick this up..

harusame @ Sep 4th 2008 11:48AM

Dear PS3 Fanboy, could you please use your great journalistic powers to find out if Sony, Namco or Ubisoft have any plans to release Soul Calibur IV DLC in the old continent. The DLC has been available for over a month in the US PSN Store and worldwide on XBL Markeplace but European PSN still hasn't gotten anything.

The character creation is pretty much the main reason I bought SCIV and I'd really love to get more clothing to play around with (not to mention new characters and stages and whatever else the future DLC may bring). Should I just return the game and get the Xbox 360 version instead? The whiny kids could actually be quite entertaining to play with (not to say the PSN community has any less whiners, they just don't have headsets).

Kristopher gonzalez @ Sep 4th 2008 12:16PM

Don't know if you should call them journalist. They are bloggers. It's not like this site is like gamespot,1up,ign or such.

ryuk @ Sep 4th 2008 12:31PM

luckily, i'm american

Steve Childs @ Sep 4th 2008 1:14PM

Luckily, I'm not.

Pure wasnt showing on mine before but now it is, downloading now, hell of a big file. Still a crap update but suppose they can always give us.....nothing.

On another note, WHERE IS HOME, we have had no home theme to download or anything, i want in on the better, give EU some home betas instead of US and Japan ARGH!!!

Kristopher gonzalez @ Sep 4th 2008 12:19PM

The way they where choosing the European beta testers was by how active the users where online;

Buying games of PSstore
Playing games online
Downloading/buying DLC

So no registration theme for the Europeans.

JerJerBinks @ Sep 4th 2008 12:23PM

I agree the USA is BS. We spend too much time and money try to fix the world and not enough on trying to fix own problem. We should just say fuck it and concentrate on our own problems like we did during the 1920's Isolationism period, oh but wait ... you remember what happened the last time we did that. That is right, World War II and the death of 70 Million people.

Get your head out of your ass for 5 minutes and you might be able to see the light of day.

Gotti @ Sep 4th 2008 12:16PM

FYI it's NHL 2K9 and Pure does not seem to be avaiable at all. Where do you get your information anyway?

Steve Childs @ Sep 4th 2008 1:14PM

LOL, I like it how you're insinuating that because the US was focused on itself at the time (not to mention a huge economic depression had its firm grip around your necks), that otherwise you'd have stopped a mad man in Germany from ever starting WW II.

Well, technically, yes if you had invaded Germany and removed Hitler from Power, leaving decades of civil unrest in your wake, you may well have done.

But then, the US wouldn't do such a thing.

Oh, wait....

:rolleyes:
