PSN Thursday: GTA IV trailer, DLC for UT3 and Warhawk sale
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.
PSN Thursday: Um, well, next week could be better?
Pour yourself a glass of wine, draw a bath, sprinkle some rose petals in there, a little sandalwood bath oil, grab Rendezvous with Rama ... and that experience alone will be more exciting than the PSN offerings this week. There's a Condemned 2 demo in there, that Motorstorm trailer, and the Rock Band DLC per usual, but that's about it. Sorry, there's also some Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 08 courses we all know dad's been dying to play. Maybe next week will be better?Check out the complete list of this week's content after the break.

PSN Thursday: More PAIN for the ladies

PSN Thursday: Rocketmen blast off, Echochrome marches onto Japanese PSN
Just like XBLA, Rocketmen: Axis of Evil is the only new game offering on PSN this week. Sure, there's the Rock Band and GHIII DLC, but its a pretty tame week overall. Now, for those with access to the Japanese PSN it's a different story. Those people should go grab echochrome immediately and twist their brains, Escher-style.

PSN Thursday: Folklore keeps telling tales while others sleep
It's pretty safe to say at this point the team behind Folklore is quite happy to keep adding extra content and value to their game through downloadable content.

Of course, the Rock Band DLC is available as per usual, and if you're looking for something cheeky, there is a free PixelJunk Monsters theme to download.

PSN Thursday: Turok demo shows, PlayStation Eye games watch

PSN Thursday: mostly jammin', a little juking
Today on PSN a double dose of Rock Band tunes finally squeezes its way through the pipeline, bringing with it a mess of Guitar Hero III tracks. If toy instruments aren't your forte, consider investing in some new cars for ProStreet (how can you resist a bimmer for a mere $2.50?) or shed those pads and wrap your arms around a real man in the free NFL Tour demo. That, or sit back and watch be jealous that Japan is actually playing GT5 Prologue. Euro folk can peep this week's "surely not" offerings over on PS3 Fanboy. Full details of the US update are posted after the break.
PSN Thursday: Trials of Hawkish, Mesmerizing Snakeballs
This week's batch of PlayStation Network content is pretty massive - "our biggest ever," according to the official US PlayStation blog.

Enough pouting, let's open our presents a week early!Warhawk fans have the most gifts under the tree this week, with the already-opened Omega Dawn expansion, a free theme, a game video of the expansion and (gasp!) the original Warhawk PS One title downloadable as a classic for play on either the PS3 or PSP. Rhythm fans also get a tasty sampler of the usual Rock Band DLC and a free Guitar Hero III song, the holiday-themed "We Three Kings" (strangely absent from the list: the premium GH3 songs for this week).Downloadable games include Toy Home, Snakeball and two PS Eye games: Trials of Topoq and Mesmerize: Distort. A demo for Blacksite: Area 51 is also out, and those looking for more festive updates can check out the free Folklore DLC and PAIN wallpaper.

PSN Thursday: Bowled over by Burnout Paradise
PlayStation 3 owners finally have something they can gloat about: not only do they get a demo for Burnout Paradise, but they also get it a week before any Xbox 360 owners using the free Silver membership. Today's PSN update also includes new Rock Band DLC as well as new bowlers for last week's High Velocity Bowling, costing one Washington apiece.If you don't want to worry about unlocking Need for Speed Pro Street, you can spare yourself the gameplay for a meager $2.49 to $9.99.

PSN Thursday: We'll bowl at a high velocity
This week's PSN Thursday update rolls in with some High Velocity Bowling. The $10 PSN downloadable game is joined by a few Folklore add-ons and the prerequisite Rock Band DLC. Although we shouldn't be that excited, we're a little giddy over the free Ratchet & Clank theme -- and no, it's not a furry thing. (Not that there'd be anything wrong with that if it was.)For the PSN European update check out sister-site PS3 Fanboy. US folks can hit up the full update list after the break.
PSN Thursday: Heap on the 'Pain' with Resistance maps and Motorstorm vehicles
This week's PSN Thursday update brings the Pain (sorry). The idea behind this $10 PSN downloadable game is to inflict as much pain as possible on your pitiable pixelated counterpart through myriad ill-advised (and physics-based!) scenarios. If you enjoy watching people getting launched from a slingshot into the side of a building, then we know the game for you (and we've also got the number of a great therapist). Not into the pain thing? There are also new maps for Resistance: Fall of Man, vehicles for Motorstorm, David Bowie Rock Band DLC, and Oblivion's Shivering Isles. For the PSN European update please check out sister-site PS3 Fanboy, US folks can hit up the full update list after the break.
PSN Thursday: Gobble up the content early
Just like our GameTap Thursday post, it looks like our PSN Thursday post is coming in a little early because of the Turkey Day holiday. You pretty much know about most of this stuff already, but we're going to put it all on a platter after the break for easy consumption. The highlight this week -- and we're stretching that definition just a bit -- is the new PlayStation Eye titles Aquatopia and Operation Creature Feature.Of course, for the Rock Band faithful there is all the new DLC content available. Also, even though it's not part of the update, don't forget about the PSN "sale" going on right now.[Via PS3 Fanboy]
New games this week: Super Mario Galaxy edition
See, now this is where it gets punishing. Kiss your poor wallet "Adios!" friends, because we're staring down the barrel of a really tough week. Sure, there's Super Mario Galaxy, and it's an easy choice for the featured pick (much like Baby, nobody puts the plumber in the corner). But he's also got an insane lineup of hot titles on his heels, including Crysis, Assassin's Creed, BlackSite: Area 51, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. And there's ... more. You can check out the full list after the break, you poor, soon-to-be-broke sap -- it may just be the last time you can do so before your computer gets repossessed.
