Good morning. I hope your collective appetites have been sufficiently wet by all the announcements made at gamescom, I for one am personally very excited about the new additions coming to the PlayStation Network.
Talking of wet, WET is one of four demos we have releasing on the store later today (did you see what I did there…ahem, apologies), alongside Mini Ninjas and IL2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey. You can also fling Andy Dick around in Pain from today, as well as get yourself a Street Fighter II themed table for Zen Pinball. We also have another batch of trailers from gamescom, including footage from the Sony press conference.
Tomorrow morning you will also be able to get hold of a trailer for the forthcoming Avatar game taken from the Avatar game day event.
Finally, for our PSP users we have a variety of content available (especially for RPG fans) with Wild Arms XF, Riviera, and the demo for DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY available, amongst other things. Scroll down for the full list.
The store will be updated later this afternoon, and as usual any problems or feedback please leave a comment.

And once again no PSOne games. Still, I think it’s a decent update.

Well, I think is an amazing update. Look how many demos there are. And what about those trailers and the amazing press conference?
Awesome!

great update, but there will still be complaints from certain people….
12
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:09 am by UndeadBob
Nice update, though I count 4 demos not 3
You seem to have forgotten that Colin McRae DiRT 2 is listed below…
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:12 am by Mike Kebby
I wrote the beginning paragraph before we had the confirmation of that demo, and because the team are at Gamescom the change may take a while to make
13
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:11 am by Hodgi92
Awesome update.
I wasn’t expecting such a good one since you have treated us with so much this week.
14
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:12 am by get2sammyb
AWESOME DEMOS. Cheers guys!

Is there any news on Resident Evil 1 and MGS1 coming to the store?
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:15 am by Mike Kebby
Still nothing significant to report I’m afraid
16
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:14 am by whoismilan
I like that there are a lot of demos, but seriously, someone who’s at gamescom needs to get in touch with Konami and ask what’s taking them so long to get you-know-what to Europe.
17
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:14 am by fords30
Good update.
Any chance of getting the fantastic Uncharted 2 trailer from Gamescom up?
18
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:14 am by Osahi_be
Great update. Will download demo’s of DIRT, WET and Sturmovik.

Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:15 am by loonytoon1982
Usually I’m annoyed when there’s nothing for me to buy but I’m broke this week so it’s all good :p
Between bills, Batman and the PS3 Slim it’s a quiet time

Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:16 am by StromboyX
Cool!!!! Dissidia demo, this is the best news so far

21
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:16 am by Andy-McK-4ever
Four demos Mike!!! You really are spoiling us. Some really good trailers aswell. This is the best update since E3

Mike
brilliant update, i doubt very much you will be getting alot of moaning on here today. Very impressed with the available playable demos…..especially the dissidia one for the psp.
Is there any news on Tomb Raider possibly coming out soon as a psone classic just like the us store, if you don’t know, can u let me know asap as am such a huge Tomb Raider fan…Thanks
24
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:17 am by aeonlord92
Good update, I’ll definately get the WET demo. Is there any news of Disgaea 3 DLC or a trophy patch?
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:27 am by Mike Kebby
Disgaea DLC is coming next week, not too sure about the trophy patch though
25
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:18 am by jack__burt0n
I know its unrelated mike but do u have any info on an Uncharted 2 collectors edition? I know it seems that play.com has exclusive 2nd beta codes but I have been holding out to see if there is a bumper edition planned have seen screens of uncharted 2 bags and a steelbook?
Any info is great cos otherwise will just go ahead and order my copies from play for the codes.
Thanks.
26
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:18 am by micromagic
Ooooohhhh….nice load of demos. Excited about trying the Dirt 2 demo and didn’t expect Wet to be up there. Very nice update this week, thanks

Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:20 am by NeodeosX
Yeah ! The two Ratchet & Clank trailers, finally !
31
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:20 am by Roxas598
mike that wild arms is a psp game right? it just doesn’t say
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:29 am by Mike Kebby
It is indeed the PSP game, seems the editing for the post is a bit out (there is usually a PSP Store heading before the list of content
)
32
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:22 am by whoismilan
There’s video evidence what Kojima is at gamescom. Now is the time to use your best sneaking skills to get to him, pin him against the wall and demand some answers!
33
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:22 am by Croopnick_PL
Wet!!!! Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!
No new PSone games?
34
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:22 am by AcidCrashX
@Mike
Impressive selection today Mike! make sure to thank the guys in your team for us as well as give yourself a pat on back.
i’ll be downloading all 5 demos (PS3 and PSP) and i may even pick up the 2 digital PSP releases this week.. an RPG on the go is always a good thing to have when you commute 2 hours a day!
35
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:24 am by Vajoina
Great stuff!
36
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:24 am by Cringles88

37
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:25 am by Roxas598

Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:26 am by AshAbuse
Again, no MGS is a sticky point, but no complaints this week, as there’s Mini Ninjas!! Also, idk how far in advance you know about stuff, but has any noise been made about a Saw: The Video Game demo? (aka my most wanted of the year
)
39
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:26 am by Dutch_Rootsman
Dear Mike,
This week looks good.
Makes we worried about next week though
I hope these PSP games and PS3 demos are coming to the Australian store…?
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:31 am by Mike Kebby
Don’t worry about next week, it’s looking like a nice selection of stuff at the moment
40
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:26 am by BritishBlue

45
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:29 am by Spathis
Mike last week you said to me Zombie Apocalyspe was end of the month, can we expect it next week?
Also any news on Under Siege? (no not the Steven Segal movie lol)
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:32 am by Mike Kebby
I don’t know what’s happening with Zombie Apocalypse now at the moment, fingers crossed it’s coming very soon though.
46
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:29 am by commuterzombie
Well done all concerned. That’s one hell of an update.
Same again next week please ;P

Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:29 am by TheTaxMan
Hello , Not a bad update , pinball for me this week ,
But,
What about these patches for the games that we have , bf1943 still not working as it should .
I dont want to have to ask you every week .
Could you explain to people how to get a refund from the PSN store?
Some people are not happy with some games and not getting a refund is not an option.
I,d like to say also , your doing a good job answering the questions each week and trying to be honest , its good to see.
GordonVanDyke will not answer emails or tweets , so could you do some digging and find anything out please , and thanks x
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:34 am by Mike Kebby
As I’ve said before, I don’t work on patches, and am not in control of 3rd party games – I’m sorry, but you’re asking the wrong person about patches.
I’ll try and find something out for you though, but I can’t guarantee anything I’m afraid.
48
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:30 am by VitalogyPJ
Nice demos, when will Mini Ninjas came out?
49
Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:30 am by BoneCraKeR

Posted on 20 August, 2009 at 11:34 am by Mike Kebby
