PSN Thursday: Rayman, Elefunk and E3
We've been a little busy with all the E3-ing and being hosts, so here's the PSN Thursday update for this week. PS1 classic Rayman is available, along with PSN game Elefunk. There's also several E3 videos and just sunshine with rainbows. So tired ...

PSN Thursday: The calm before the E3 storm
This week's PSN update brings the Rainbow Six Vegas 2 update, Ape Escape Academy for PSP and several new demos and videos. Next week's E3 week update should be a big one with Elefunk joining PSN's excellent selection of downloadable games, along with several videos -- and hopefully some demos -- from the show. Over at PS3 Fanboy they have this week's European PSN update, which adds the Escher-edly perspective twisting echochrome to the service.
PSN Thursday: Qore delivers episode two
Unless the promise of spending time with our pal Ms. Veronica Belmont and another episode of Qore sounds like a nice Thursday night (there's an episode teaser after the break) it might be best to just ignore this week's PSN update. Per usual, the rhythm games add some content and there's also some game videos that might be of interest. With E3 only a couple weeks away, it's understandable that things are a bit quiet at the moment, but we're seriously starting to itch for PixelJunk Eden! This week's European PSN update adds several pieces of Buzz!-worthy content; check it out over at PS3 Fanboy.
PSN Thursday: Still sifting through MGS4 database edition
The PSN update this week is nothing special, but we're still too busy sifting through the MGS4 Database added in last week's update to really care. Beyond the surprising amount of depth the database gets into, it's interesting to see some flat-out confirmations of some arguable points in the MGS canon -- like the whole Raikov being gay thing. The other additions this week include the normal rhythm game additions and Medievel Resurrection for PSP. The full PSN update can be found after the break. The MGS4 Database is the big deal this week on the European PSN update, get the full details on the update over at PS3 Fanboy.
PSN Thursday: The MGS4 Database, Fatal Inertia EX
This week's PSN update delivers the MGS4 Database, a repository of information that should explain the MGS saga in great -- and hopefully simple-to-understand -- detail. Oh yeah, best part, it's free! Also being added this week is the racer Fatal Inertia EX and new Guitar Hero III tracks by Coldplay. Of course, the Rock Band DLC is there as per usual. The full PSN update can be found after the break.The European PSN update is over at PS3 Fanboy. We recommend caution, they're really upset about not getting the MGS4 Database.
PSN Thursday: MGS4 theme and Syphon Filter 3
For those who can't afford Metal Gear Solid 4, this week's PSN update drags out Syphon Filter 3 as a downloadable title on the PSN for a mere $6. There's also some new Guitar Hero III and Rock Band tracks as well, but otherwise, it's a relatively lean week for obvious reasons. Be sure to grab the MGS4 PS3 theme if you're intending to eat, sleep with and breathe Snake until you finish the final chapter. Wait, did we just say "sleep with"? The full PSN update can be found after the break.The European PSN update can be found over at PS3 Fanboy. Tell them to stop playing MGS4 and do some work while you're there.
PSN Thursday: Novastrike, Civ Rev demo, Commando 3, much more
Big fat update this week. For starters, it's time for PS3 owners to jump in the pool and try out the Civilization Revolution demo. So far, our thoughts are positive, but conflicted. PC Civilization players will jump right in and notice some major changes, but will console gamers find joy in the methodical (yet incredibly streamlined) Civ gameplay?Enough thinking, what about some twitch action? The free God of War theme for GH III is available today, along with the PSN's first game self-published by a developer, Novastrike. Also, storming out of left field is Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3. There's also a couple other nice additions in this week's update, so check it out after the break.The PS3 Fanboy's got your European PSN update on their site, but be sure to bring chocolates. They like chocolates.
PSN Thursday: Prince of Persia wallpaper
Not actual wallpaper OK, last week's PSN update was lacking, but this week ... well, this week we're just not going to comment on it. There's a couple of Prince of Persia wallpapers and the weekly Rock Band content. Beyond that, there's not much else. Check it out after the break if you don't believe. We'll take this opportunity to mention that PixelJunk Monsters is awesome -- particularly on two player local co-op -- and we recommend at least trying the demo.Europe got a little somethin-somethin, which can be found over at PS3 Fanboy.
PSN Thursday: Oh boy ... well, there's The Con
Considering the fanboys get all uppity when we say that there's nothing in the PSN update for the week, we'll temper it by saying The Con is available for $20 on the PSP. For PS3 owners, there's the European Rock Band DLC tracks and the PixelJunk Monsters music album for $3. Let's just end this post and get out clean while we still can. The full North American PSN update can be found after the break.The European PSN update is located in the land of PS3 Fanboy.
PSN Thursday: Secret Agent Clank PSP demo
Well, PS3 owners don't really have much to look forward to this week from the PSN update, but those with a PSP can try out the new Secret Agent Clank demo. Maybe we spoke too soon, some people might be interested in the Rocketmen expansion or the Dragon Ball Z demo. Don't forget that new echochrome levels are now available, although it isn't technically part of the PSN update, it seems worth mentioning here. Find the full NA update after the break.The European PSN update is happily posted in the town square over at PS3 Fanboy.
PSN Thursday: A Haze-y afternoon of killin' PixelJunk Monsters
We're sure PS3 owners can carve out a little time today from all the GTA IV and echochrome playing to check out the demo for "exclusive" shooter Haze. Of course, what most are probably excited about is that PixelJunk Monsters' expansion is out today at a reasonable $6 price. There are also plenty of other little interesting things in the North Amercan update that might pique some of your interests, and it can all be found after the break.The lists for this week's double dose of European PSN updates can be found over at PS3 Fanboy.

It's time for North America to experience the full perception contorting reality of echochrome with this week's PSN update. For those not sure about putting down $10 for the 56 MC Escher-inspired levels, don't be afraid to try out the demo first. Also, Happy PSN Canadian Equality Day!

Canada getting PSN price adjustment due to strong currency
Sony just sent out a press release stating on May 1 there'll be a price adjustment for Canadian PlayStation Store customers in response to the strengthening Canadian dollar. The prices will be adjusted in phases prior to the regularly scheduled update.Although it wasn't in the press release, we spoke with Sony and have been told that the adjustment will lead to "price parity" between the United States and Canada. Meaning that something which costs $5 USD in the US PSN will cost $5 CDN in Canada. Enjoy the equality, Canada.
PSN Thursday: Echoing that the echochrome demo releases today
Happy echochrome demo day! But, for those not in the mood to Escher their minds, there may be a couple other things in this week's PSN update to pique your interest.

PSN Tuesday: Lair goes analog, Super Stardust HD expands
Along with a revamped PSN Store, we usher in the return of PSN Thursdays Tuesdays.
