PSN Thursday: GTA IV trailer, DLC for UT3 and Warhawk sale

by Alexander Sliwinski { Mar 27th 2008 at 6:25PM }

This week's PSN update brings a hearty dose of content. Warhawk, which has an update and expansion incoming, is on sale the next couple weeks for $30 (normally $40). There's also a flOw bundle for $9 that includes the game plus expansion. UT3 players should make sure to pick up their free maps; meanwhile, High Stakes poker players with a PlayStation Eye can download the free camera add-on and show off how they play poker naked from their living room couch. The reason for the late PSN update today was because the embargo on the Grand Theft Auto IV trailer (available on PSN) had to lift, so check that out just to give purpose to this delay.

We'll put a link to PS3 Fanboy's Euro update as soon as we get it -- we're thinking it was delayed because of the GTA IV trailer as well.

Update: The Euro update.

Downloadable games:

flOw bundle ($8.99)
Warhawk limited-time discount ($29.99 until 4/15)

Add-on Content:

Turok Multiplayer map pack ($4.99)
High Stakes: Poker edition camera add-on (Free)
Unreal Tournament 3 maps (Free)
Rock Band DLC
Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore downloadable songs ($1.50 each)

Nice update, why no GT5P demo? Maybe SCEA assumes that everyone who wants it has already DL'ed it of the Land of the Rising Sun. (please Joystiq, fix the ban on the country with the letter J)

Poker should be interesting now. Might have to keep the kids away from the Panny when playing.

Ciaran. @ Mar 27th 2008 6:37PM

A demo for a demo? Now that would be something!

P.s. It is really a demo, a really big demo with lots of content.

Curtis the Claw: Brawl Code 1075-0441-3284 @ Mar 27th 2008 6:38PM

I don't really want to start a long argument...but maybe because you can't have a demo of a demo.

Howl Pendragon @ Mar 27th 2008 6:47PM

Wow are you seriously complaing?

You got Gran Turismo HD.
You have or are getting (depending on where you get) Gran Turismo 5 Prolouge.

Then you will finally get the game.

How many more samples of the game do you need to decide you want the final version? Heck, you could decide on GT4 alone that you need the 5th one.

Hyams @ Mar 27th 2008 6:51PM

The word 'Japan' is banned? :S

Hyams @ Mar 27th 2008 6:51PM

... apparently not.

WiiSports Machine...Fernandos in disguise PSN: Killjebus @ Mar 27th 2008 7:04PM

It was a week ago. Joystiq must have fixed it.

Howl Pendragon @ Mar 27th 2008 7:06PM

@killjebus

They probably meant to ban you.

Vidikron (FU) @ Mar 28th 2008 1:06AM

There's been a GT5P demo in the Jpanese store for a couple of months now. Why not just get it there?

Vidikron (FU) @ Mar 28th 2008 1:12AM

Nevermind... I misread your post the first time. It appears you are already aware of the GT5P demo.

tmmoore_nc @ Mar 27th 2008 6:48PM

What do you mean by "late"? This is when it normally updates thanks to Sony.

Howl Pendragon @ Mar 27th 2008 6:52PM

or "The reason for the late PSN update today was because the embargo on the Grand Theft Auto IV trailer (available on PSN) had to lift, so check that out just to give purpose to this delay."

Also if you've had a PS3 for the past while you would know PSN updates are generally on schedule.

Howl Pendragon @ Mar 27th 2008 6:50PM

To anyone reading this

BUY WARHAWK FOR 30 DOLLARS.

The game has awesome support from the devs, its tons of fun and the online splitscreen is great!

Also Flow is a great deal since it comes with the expansion pack.

Hyams @ Mar 27th 2008 6:53PM

Yeah. Warhawk is one of the best things the PS3 has going for it - it you don't have it already, get it.

WiiSports Machine...Fernandos in disguise PSN: Killjebus @ Mar 27th 2008 7:07PM

It is a shame that more PS3 owners do not have this gem of a game. I have more fun playing this game than any other online game I have played. Shooting on foot, vehicles, flying, all in one package for $30 bones? Wow, what a bargin.
CTF is my favorite mode, especially if you have a team that uses communication and teamwork. So much fun.

Vcize @ Mar 27th 2008 8:18PM

Eh, you can get the disk version with the BT headset (that should've come with the damn system) for about 5 bucks more on ebay.

They should really have a demo of this game to get more people hooked. It deserves more than 500,000 sales.

Howl Pendragon @ Mar 27th 2008 8:21PM

@Vcize

I definetley agree with the headset thing. A new PlayStation branded BT headset is coming out soon but its 50-60 bucks which is a huge ripoff IMHO.

And I definetley agree since its a online game they could of just done a timed demo where the game expires after a week.

PinstripeBert @ Mar 28th 2008 11:26AM

Too bad I just bought Warhawk last week. Looks like Sony was waiting for me to drop that money in order to lower their price.

Replica23 @ Mar 27th 2008 10:34PM

Sadly Canadian PSN users are still expected to pay a slightly higher price at $32.99. For awhile there Sony appeared to be matching newly released PSN titles dollar for dollar in the US and Canada. Of course it's only $3.00, but please (anyone) give me a gold fucking example why I should, or would, pay $32.99 for a restricted download when I can walk to local Future Shop and grab the boxed copy for $29.99.

Not that it matters to me so much 'cause I bought the BT headset pack for $49.99 last month, but what gives?
