This week’s North American PlayStation Store update hit a little late yesterday, meaning our weekly recap is also running a little late. If only we could rewind time as in this week’s PSN highlight Braid.

PlayStation 3 owners who haven’t enjoyed Number None’s time twisting platformer should really drop the $US14.99 and do so. Other highlights include the release of a quartet of Pinball Heroes games for the PSP, the digital release of Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble and… a Dita Von Teese theme for your PlayStation 3? Perhaps for those lonelier gaming sessions, when a wallpaper of Dita downloaded from the internet simply won’t do.

Two bucks is just a little too rich for my blood, especially when there are comparable Tekken 6 Nina, Lilli and Zafina wallpapers to download for free.
