In case it saves people a few bucks, I just wanted to point out that SSHD has had custom soundtracks since the last free update. You don't need to buy the Solo add-on.

I love SSHD, but the add-on doesn't sound worth it to me. I'd prefer an update that adds online or splitscreen co-op. And I hate that my stats got erased, even without getting the add-on!

I played Broken Mirror last night for an hour or so. Great map, and the APC is a ton of fun. The thing serves as a spawn point when someone is driving around (I didn't know that before), so you can basically spawn anywhere on the map. Makes Zones a lot more interesting when the other team starts spawning in your home base. My DL took forever though.

@SpyderMS: even after downloading the HD video the whole title is less than 3GB.

JustinS

I'm gonna download Still Alive even though I don't own Rock Band.... yet.

z357x

I really love the new look now that all the pictures work. It's organized so much better, and seems to load faster. I downloaded a bunch of themes the other day.

Puchi

@PhysicalEd: damn really! Hmm, maybe i'll get back into it for a week before the next PJM add-on comeso ut.

jp182

@xMaverick: actually you could do that before with the Dual Shock 3 update.

jp182

Man, the new APC vehicle is nice. Adds another layer of strategy to both offense and defense. I'm liking it so far. Especially in CTF. Anyone else feels this way about the new APC?

rzac30

Downloading Broken Mirror.

Heyyou27

@Ichidou: Second vote for the SSD HD add-on. Each of the three new games modes really adds something to the game. "Endless" is insane! If you like the game you won't be sorry.

However be warned, it will reset your game statistics (time played etc).

PhysicalEd

I got me the Warhawk expansion. Does anybody know if the Kane & Lynch maps came out yet? They weren't up when I checked yesterday

mikeymatrix

@Soldrak:
Sony Europe is having a invite only media day May 6th in London so I would expect to hear more about Home then also..(rumour to be safe)

@SpyderMS:
Yeah,not sure about the large install.I think the update too longer for me...

enewtabie

@Spartan1308: @JustinS: @okenny :):

The download on PSN is sans HD video, which must be downloaded separately if you want to view it, whereas the BD-ROM version has it all on the disc, including an extra video feature exclusive to it. I don't understand the 6GB install either though, as I'm pretty sure you still need the disc in the drive to play...

SpyderMS

Where the heck is the K&L:DM map-pack?!

def PD

@Soldrak:
I'm gonna call it now..so remember me..lol

In Game in June and rollout of Home in July.

We do need some more PS1/PSP games.I'm just ready to play some Echochrome next month(I hear its addicting) and some Bionic Commando.

Anybody notice how the speed has picked up quite a bit?

enewtabie

Playstation Store looks very nice now, better than Marketplace on XBL. I like the direction Sony is taking with their firmware updates. This is a very good move, now they just need to release the oft-delayed Home and in-game friendlist.

Soldrak

Dude...I had to pass up on GT5 Prologue, I got warhawk DLC instead. I'm not sure if I like the new maps yet, it's so big...and tend to lag a little.

nxp3

Well crap. I just spent all that money on freaking GTAIV. I don't know if I can convince the wife to let me buy another Warhawk expansion.

Maybe I can just sneak it by her.

PapaBear434

@DigiMish:
along with the EOJ set 2 update,COD4 maps,The burnout Cagney patch,the GH3 DefLeppard Songs,hopefully a socom confrontation trailer(rumour) and the Hotshots demo should hit sometime..Europe has had it for a bit.

enewtabie

@zombieman3421:

They were looking into it last night..

enewtabie

@Ichidou:

Regarding SSHD update:
It adds several modes,endless,bomber and I can't remember the others.Adds easy to the arcade selection.Custom soundtrack support.I got it tuesday and I'd say it's definitely worth it!

enewtabie

And all we got on the PC Store - for those still too poor to get a PS3 - is a couple of new movies.

Just like old times. *spit*

@gravytoast:

Super Stardust HD is a ps3 exclusive.

/rolls eyes

joelface

GT5 Prologue has been in the EU store for weeks

knails

Um... where's the Iron Man demo?

Ashurahori

@xMaverick:

So is that an angle against the 360 version?

I'd love to support my PS3 with more DLC, but I can't find reason to download its versions over the 360 versions.

gravytoast

I don't think anyone really knows this, but the Super Stardust HD Solo includes an option where you can listen to music from the PS3's HDD at any point in the game.

You can also set it to play a folder full of crap, so yippee!

I dunno, I've found that many more reasons to play that game :)

Not like it wasn't good already, just that it makes it more entertaining, mind you :D!!

*farts*

xMaverick

@BornToFlail:

..he...HEY! I just saw you on Warhawk like 10 minutes ago! I was jjmusicman! Eucadia CTF map, we lost! lol.

Anyway, no matter what, I'm not paying $40 for a demo.

Though $11 for both Warhawk booster packs? That's more than a deal. *runs to credit card*

gravytoast

@MoeB: NEVERHOOD!!!!!!!!!!
still can't tell what that has to do with this, but the games awsome, so i'll let it slide

and did anyone else notice that the motley crue song Saints of los angeles for rock band isn't avaliable on the psn?

zombieman3421

I started downloading GT5P at about 6pm this evening its now 1.28 am and its 58% done. Sony really need to sort the servers out if you pay $40 for a game you should get priority on the transfer rate, its crazy having to wait a day just to play a game like this. And no my internet connection is not slow as I downloaded a HD movie off Xbox live last night which was 6GB and it took just under 2 hours.

Ascully

I'm happy they decided to do the Warhawk booster bundle and I already downloaded it. The new maps are cool but seem like they'll need a ton of people for the vehicle layouts (they're huge) to be worthwhile. I look forward to using the APC and dropship on the older maps, though. And the new village deathmatch map on the glacier is great!

metaly

cool

PSMANDEMON

@MoeB: No idea what that has to do with the update, but I love the NeverHood too.
Wasn't there supposed to be a Resistance 2 trailer on PSN?
Or at least something exciting after 2 weeks?

TheCleaningGuy

It's like looking into a time portal.

leetXcore

I'll start my complaining early. Nothing in this update for me at all. Not even the trailers were interesting. Been too many months since there has been anything rpg related. Oh well.

Glad to hear that so many others are loving it though. My turn will come some day.

Baff

I got all seven songs, bringing the total to 123. Somebody better stop my addiction soon.

kylo4

hmm very nice update.

Raziel Dune

That's okay guys, Pixel Junk Monsters add-on next week!

DigiMish

Needs more PS1.

Replica23

@Spartan1308: No they have the file size right, I have the downloadable version.

@okenny :): Extra content wouldnt make sense because this is a mandatory install. You could leave all the extra stuff on the disc.

At first I thought it would take up more space once installed but it doesnt as far as I can tell. Maybe all the PS3 installs are needlessly large. I mean really harddrive space isnt free. Couldnt they have installed the game from the disc using only 2GB, then require the disc in the drive to play (instead of the PSN connection like is used everytime you play the downloadable version)?

JustinS

This is a good update but still considering how we had nothing for two weeks in a row, it's disappointing. I know Sony has no control over the Rock Band/Guitar Hero DLC but everyweek it's a deluge of songs for games I don't have. Would like more PS1 and echochrome type stuff.

gunstarhero

@JustinS: That is interesting. I wonder if they have the file size wrong on the listing for the downloadable version.

Spartan1308

@JustinS: This is just a guess as don't own a PS3 but could it be since you downloaded it to your hard drive, it doesn't need to install as. The hardest part is probably dealing with blurry transfer rates and seek time. Even if the data is compressed on the hard drive, it's just faster to access. Maybe there's extra content on the disk version that enhance the experience like a rootkit or something. I'm sure there's a logical reason hear. Just be happy it not a 6 GB download.

okenny :)

Does anyone know anything about the add-on to Super Stardust HD?

Like, does it add anything to the main game besides bigger booms and longer songs?

Ichidou

Dual pack for Warhawk? At a reduced price? Tickle me happy.

DocBacca

@okenny :): Wow, umm. What a metaphor. Not... quite sure what else to say to that. Haha.

Moridin

Not a bad update today. I actually didn't even check the store this evening, but then again...all I need is my MGO beta. Nothing else matters until Monday.

Archaotic

@Spartan1308: The really stupid thing is that if you buy the game on BluRay it has an install that takes nearly 6GB of space.

The direct download version takes less than 2GB. How is it that the entire game takes up less space then the install for the disc version. I almost bought it on BluRay to save disc space.

JustinS

good stuff right there. i got my still alive and maybe some other things before the weekend's out.

VixDiesel

Talk about blowing your load! It may not be the most epic load of next-gen but it's enough to make some gasp and a few chock. Cover your eyes boys and girls because Sony is delivering a lot of content right to your face :) I guess this is the PSN equivalent of a "money shot"?

okenny :)

I downloaded the Haze trailer, along with a few themes.

I love playing Warhawk when CoD4 bores me and I'm sure I'll get the expansion eventually, but I'm waiting to see on my new gaming PC before I buy it. If it's ready tomorrow then I'll hold off and indulge myself in a weekend learning Company of Heroes and Opposing Fronts.

Either way, fun weekend for me :) !

GDW1017

@Luke Plunkett:

Sorry Luke, no offense meant. I never noticed that

Sparx

I'd love to know if the Lair update has made this game worth me renting.

BornToFlail

The store won't be complete until I can buy the expansion packs for my PSP. It's not like it'd cost them anything, really; Sony Europe and Sony America are still Sony, fer chrissakes.

Does Not Equal

@Ichidou:
its a new update and it seem to be a real good one....but what about the guitar hero updates....i dont have the money for rock band and thus will never purchase it even with my discount its more than a ps2, psp, gamecube, xbox, a new ps2 at that, everything else is used. But where is my guitar hero updates. Tired of old songs now. and gran turismo for 39.99 ha beat that gamestop or any other store. NO TAXES on the internet FTW!!!

Jnkzm4

Wow. GT5 Prologue. File size: 1.78 GB I sure am glad they shipped that on a BD instead of a DVD. The additional storage space was really important. This I won't buy, but I do look forward to the complete game.

Spartan1308

@Sparx: Mike normally does these, and he's not in today. Give me a break :p

Luke Plunkett

Stupid APC... I hate it. I like the new glacier map and server organization though

BornToFlail

Picked up "Still Alive" and "Simple Man" this afternoon. "Simple Man" may be a little on the easy side (I can FC it on hard drums, expert guitar - and I mainly play medium drums and hard guitar) but it's one hell of a rockin' song.

Now, bring on next Thursday already! CoD4 maps and the double exp. weekend event should help tide me over until Tuesday.

Moridin

Man, where was this 9-10 hours ago when the store was first updated? I've had all my new videos and expansions since this afternnon.

Sparx

Damn good update today if I must say so myself.

Kotaku_is_Ban_Happy

Ehh? The new Warhawk Broken Mirror pack came out? Was it out BEFORE the PSN store upgrade? Or is it new?

Ichidou
