PSN Thursday: More free Batman DLC, Broken Steel

by Alexander Sliwinski on Sep 24th 2009 6:45PM

The highlight in this week's PSN Update is that The Bats is back with more free DLC. Also, for Fallout 3 owners not planning to trade up to the "game of the year edition," the single most important piece of DLC for the game, Broken Steel, is now available from the PSN store for $10. For those who don't know, Broken Steel takes away "the ending" of the game and allows the (anti-)hero of the Capital Wasteland to continue their journey with an increased level cap. Check out the full update after the break -- and, sadly, no Trine.

Choose your platform to view the corresponding release list:

Why the link to a month old post for RB DLC?

They do that every single week. I'm starting to think joystiq is getting paid by Activision to only post new Guitar Hero content and snub Rock Band. Wish this site could get its act together.

Your Rock Band link points to the wrong article. It sends people to an August RB Weekly update. This is the correct article for this weeks RB tracks:

He's hacking, and whacking, and smacking

Hack, hack, chop that meat!

Oh so now you remember Broken Steel was going to be released this week...

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/21/now-playing-september-21-27-2009/#ps3

Cut em some slack.

With as much trouble as Bethesda has had bringing out DLC, and how they probably wouldn't hesitate to delay something (again) if it turned out as buggy as past releases have been, I'd be cautious to confirm anything until I saw it on the store as well.

* Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Demo
* Zombie Apocalypse Demo
* Lost Planet 2 Co-Op Campaign Demo
* Wolfenstein Demo
* Punisher: No Mercy Demo
* Batman: Arkham Asylum Prey In The Darkness Map Pack (free)

nice update. i got all of those.

That's my download queue minus the Batman DLC. Looks like I'll be keeping busy with some demos this weekend.

for f**k's sake, no Trine again?

honestly that didn't even dawn on me. its been so freaking long i have forgotten the game.

btw. y does the us store suck so much?

Somebody hates us. :(

US Shop sucks? EU didn’t get Wolfenstein or Zombie Apo… this week!

Zombie Apocalypse! ZA!ZA!ZA!

Zombie Apocalypse F T W Bitches!
Who evas buying it .. add me for On Line Multiplayer
PSN: KOMBAT

With a name like "Kombat" you better have MKII on your system. If so, I'll add you. But I'm not buying that piece of repetitive @#%^.

Best dual stick shooter of all time: Super Stardust HD.

Anyone care to challenge that?

"Best dual stick shooter of all time: Super Stardust HD. Anyone care to challenge that?"

NOPE.

Feel free to add me, I just picked up the game tonight and love it. PSN: Sonoqui20885

I have to admit, after the release of FFVIII on the Japanese store yesterday I was expecting at least SOME PSN classics today.

My fault for getting my hopes up.

What's the big deal?? All the great PS3 current gen games and such yet people upset about old, tired PS1 and PS2 games not showing up on the PSN. Maybe since I started gaming before Atari that I am more than happy with current gen games and don't need to go back memory lane. THIS gen is what I've dreamed about as a kid yet kids today want games from back in the day??? I can never understand that. Maybe it's about kids being so spoiled these days, more than anything, and young PS3ers are comparing what the 360 gets with a "me too" attitude. Eh...

Appreciate what you have, mang. U have no idea how much you do have available to you.

I clamor for more PS classics because I don't believe in just forgetting about past gaming accomplishments. Just because a game has aged doesn't mean that we should all just move on. I'm not bitter about it, I have Silent Hill and Blood Omen to keep me accompany. Now, I never said that I wasn't happy with current gen games. Believe me, I sure as hell am. I just don't see what's so wrong about wanting to re-experience older titles now that the technology is available to stroll down memory lane with a digital download (legally).

To the point: I'm a young, 20 year old gamer that has a deep appreciation for past achievements. What's wrong with that?

Woot! Lost Planet 2 demo!

Yay for Broken Steel. I have been downloading it since around 6pm EDT but am not sure if its finished yet.

*siiiiiigh*

And still no new DLC for LittleBigPlanet...

they're still working on water aren't they?

Whoa whoa whoa.

Not a single PSOne Classic? When the f**k am I gonna be able to play Tomba again?!

I own that game, love every second of it!

I let a friend borrow Tomba years ago and he never gave it back. I've sent him multiple angry messages on facebook and every other site he goes to about it.

Tomba was seriously one of the best PS1 games. You can't play it on PS2 or (I assume) PS3, though. One of the few games that you can't, actually. I just want it back for the principle.

I've played it on my PS3. ^_^

Yeah I just looked that up, that's rad. Too bad copies are so expensive, I really want to play it again.

Why is The Faint on Guitar Hero? They need to be on Rock Band! I want to play The Faint on Rock Band!!!

I agree 100%

OH yeah http://www.rockband.com/request

The Faint definitely needs to come to rock band! I saw them live about 10 years ago when i still lived in the states. Awesome band!

Joystiq makes it sound like all the Broken Steel add-on does is moves the level cap. That's not it, is it?

No it is by far the best update and extends the main story as well as adding side quests.

I hate it how they post PSP content on the PS3 store....THAT is annoying.

Why? They need to offer flexibility in where people can get PSP content (PSP, PS3, PC) to meet most everyone's needs.

any new avatars????? they promised it in FW 3.0

NOPE! no new fuckin advatars.... Still waiting.. And waiting... And waiting. Thx Firmware 3.0.. Thx for nuthing ya bastard!

Avatars are the the single reason I own a gaming console in the first place. I could care less about great games, demos, and movies. GIVE ME AVATARS!!

KDiggy - hahahaha, sarcasm...I love it!

BTW, your avatar is wearing two different colored socks.

Maybe you don't read the blog, Lempel said not till "early 2010"

Batman DLC ftw.

Wow, looks like I'll be playing some demos.

The prices for the Power Stone Collection and Valhalla Knights is wrong. PSC is $20 and VK is $15.

I saw that PCS was $15 and immediately started up Media Go to buy it and found it to be $20. I can buy the disc version for $14, why should have have to pay $6 more for the download version game? I could justify an extra $1 for the, hopefully, faster loading times. Sony should look up the price of games on amazon and then put the download version for $5 less or something. Current prices are a complete ripoff on a vast majority of the PSP games.

Also, Manhunt 2 is not available for download whatsoever.

I agree with you; the prices of a lot of those games are absurd. Manhunt 2 is almost two years old, and offering it for download at $30 is ridiculous.

Whether it's up there or not, it is/would be a major slap in the face

My friend just told me that Manhunt 2 is available for purchase through the PSN store on the PS3. I just checked Media Go again it wasn't there, then I downloaded the Half Minute Hero demo and went back to the What's New page and... poof... Manhunt 2 appears....

Sony doesn't set the prices for third-party games, so your beef is with Rockstar and Capcom.
