‘Heads-Up’ PlayStation Store Update (15th April 2010)

196 0

Good day to you there, how are you this week? Well I hope.

I just want to remind you all that our PSP Favourites promotion will be ending today, so you don’t have that much longer to take advantage of those crazy prices, just a mere matter of hours in fact. Speaking of which, if you have an eye on bargains, then please step over to the stall and check out the latest batch of Special Offers with Gravity Crash, Prince of Persia Classic and James Cameron’s Avatar:The Game amongst the shiny wares I have for you :).

I’m sure most of you are aware that this week we finally get the much anticipated episodes for Grand Theft Auto IV, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony onto the store…exciting, I’m sure you’ll agree (they will be available on Friday morning not the usual Thursday publish).

Also, the first episode for the new Sam and Max game The Devil’s Playground is available for those who pre-ordered. If you didn’t pre-order don’t worry though, as you can download the trial, and then buy the full season entitlement if you’d like to continue their adventures (the full season entitlement will also still be available on the store separately from the trial too).

Finally, because I am such a massive fan of System of a Down, and their brilliant frontman Serj Tankian, I have to mention that there are Two Rock Band tracks available from Mr. Tankian’s incredible solo album. I urge you Rock Banders out there to get downloading these awesome tracks, and if you don’t like them, then there’s no accounting for taste is there? I jest, I jest.

To finish, some housekeeping: please be advised the store management team is not actually in the office today or tomorrow, so I won’t be around to respond to your comments. Therefore please don’t be offended by my silence, this is just because I am not here, not because I am ignoring you.

Enjoy your week, and have a great weekend!
