So, today’s historic occasion has arrived; the first Wednesday store update. I didn’t go overboard with the goodbyes to Thursday updates last week, because it was just so sad, I was on the verge of breaking down. It’s all about looking forwards to the shiny new store update day instead.
To celebrate this ‘kick-ass’ occasion, ahem, we have available the game version of the comic and film hit, Kick-Ass (please note, whilst this initial release is for the English language stores only, all other locales will be getting it released in due course). We also have two other full games available this week in the form of Anarchy: Rush Hour and Feeding Frenzy 2, whilst for PSP users you’ll be able to get to grips with R-Type Tactics.
We also have two massive demos for you this week, for the forthcoming titles UFC Undisputed 2010, and Split/Second: Velocity, and we also have the first expansion for the PSN exclusive title Burn Zombie Burn!, and it’s set in space, what more do you need? 
Finally; The Stimulus Pack is here! Not sure if you’ve heard of this? Of course you have, who am I kidding? For those of you who have been itching to get your hands on the new maps for the multiplayer experience of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, now is your chance.
Throw into the mix the Flower soundtrack, a new episode of FirstPlay, new themes and avatars, and more add-ons, and that’s your first Wednesday update.
Let me know how that grabs you in the comments section as usual.
Cheers.

Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:03 pm by Locke_Tribal
Oh Mike, I fear the comments are gonna be bad today
Still glad to see R-Type Tactics show up, although it could do with being €5 cheaper.
Not a bad update

Wooohooo! Wednesday updates!
Boohooo! Only thing that I want to check isn’t available in Belgium
Will the Split/Second demo ever reach our shores Mike?

Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:04 pm by Sp4reNL
Thanks for the Anarchy: Rush Hour Mike!
Getting it as soon as the store is online. As promised

Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:04 pm by jaysive
can someone please tell me what sort of time we are looking at for this update?!?!
11
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:04 pm by Del_007
Not bad update
Looking forward to trying out Split/Second 
Soooo heres the thing. It’s my birthday today and Nintendo gave me 50 star points. Can you match that Sony and give me a Code? :p
lmao don’t ask you don’t get!

Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:04 pm by somethingatt
When can we expect the update man? 3PM-ish?
13
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:05 pm by elhozzo3
was hoping for some extra-special special offers to celebrate the move to Wednesdays … I mean, having 4 of the 5 special offer PS3 slots taken by LBP costumes sucks a bit …
especially looking at the USA store, and the current Pixeljunk promotion … Mike, I remember before xmas you commented there could be a PJ offer in Jan .. what happened? is it coming ?
and the PJ Shooter demo would be nice ..
not to mention, it must be time for offers on WipeOut Fury pack, Motorstorm PR packs, GTI Club, Zombie Apocolypse etc …
still, not bad update….
14
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:05 pm by judoblo
2 RBN tracks? What happened to 5 a week? lol
Split/Second demo though
15
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:05 pm by enormhi
Nothing for me again… Because the MW2 map pack is way to expensive. Do you agree Mike?
And a question: Do you know anything about Lead and Gold coming to The Netherlands?
16
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:06 pm by ytevo79
Nice, but nothing for me.
17
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:06 pm by ozjad
whats the deal with the availability for kick ass? is it available anywhere? the blog post this week said:
Kick-Ass Available On PSN This Week!
Countries: AE, AU, GB, IE, NZ
typo?

“(please note, whilst this initial release is for the English language stores only,….. )”
I know we are hard to understand sometimes but you do know we speak English in Australia right?
19
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:06 pm by enormhi
Ow and when can we expect this to be live?
20
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:06 pm by berts08
Great update
I will be getting Anarchy: Rush Hour, I hear it has a plat, that will bring me over 50.
21
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:06 pm by AaronSOLDIER
Fingers crossed for Monkey Island next week.
22
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:06 pm by Soulblitz
Great to see the Flower soundtrack!
23
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:06 pm by antikewl
Nice update, but nothing for me this time. Still eagerly awaiting the elusive Monkey Island and a sale on Pixeljunk Shooter *hint* Like the US just had *hint*.
24
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:06 pm by betahoven
Nice update.
Feels weird to have this on a Wednesday.
25
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:07 pm by C_Knight
time for update please???
26
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:07 pm by Sp4reNL
@9 I hope so too.
Maybe next week? As the official release date was 11th for split second demo?
27
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:07 pm by thecolster123
Yes. What a great update. Deffinately downloading the Split/Second: Velocity demo, and of course getting my FirstPlay Episode 5.
28
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:07 pm by ToxicSatsuma
Its been asked before but I’ll ask again when will the update be Live?
I agree the MW2 map pack is way to expensive but hell I’m gonna buy it anyway more fool me
29
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:07 pm by chara123
i will sell mw2 because the dlc is too expensive . TOO EXPENSIVE !
but anyway thanks for the great update .
30
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:07 pm by SlapnutzUK
Split Second demo for me and a belly laugh at anyone who buys the MW2 map packs.
If you want a price drop people DON’T BUY THEM!
31
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:07 pm by sephiroth180
For anyone asking about the price for the MW2 map pack, no it’s not a joke, Activision (being the greedy jerks they are) are charging that much for that map pack!
32
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:08 pm by GhostViper
Oh dang, I forgott. Wensday is the day
Great updates. Was it wensdays or fridays back in the good old days the store updated?
I remember one time where Norway didn’t get anything for 4 weeks.
I’m getting all nostalgic.
33
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:08 pm by mn9ajas
Wow this weeks update is like a box of ferrero rocher!
We think that ‘you are really spoiling us’ but then when we actually bite into this weeks update it’s nothing more than a manky chocolate with stale wafer around, with these sort of nutty things that get stuck in your teeth for ages!!
Come on bring out Peggle, Calling all cars and the likes for PSP rather than this trash. Oh yeah and don’t think that we’ve forgotten that there is STILL no PES for Go users!!
34
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:08 pm by Roxas598
nothing for me today
Mike don’t suppose you have any news for me regarding tales of eternia?
35
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:08 pm by mrfodder-usa
Nice. I’ll certainly be grabbing the demos. The one thing missing is what I really want. An news/hints on when Monkey Island is coming?
36
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:09 pm by dgnfly
well mike i can’t really call this a good update cause most games we get have been on the US store way before we got it and the only psp game is for UK so basicly another crappy update get us some ps1 games that’s what we want and we don’t even get the game kick-ass next time make sure your actually right before saying something good is coming and is there any info on more psp games for the netherlands or any games for the netherlands
37
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:09 pm by dewood

Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:09 pm by wiiman07

Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:12 pm by Hokim
Hi Mike.
Lately, somehow forgets to PSP.
Just look at the U.S. store and get me wrong.
I do not understand why so much store in the U.S. PS1 games and the EU there are so few.
Not to mention, and PSP games.
Please specify to me a little picture.
Sorry for my eng.
Hoki
47
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:12 pm by Andriesc
Nice store update guys! Can’t wait to download the Stimulus package
48
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:12 pm by imajinetion
@45, it hasn’t updated yet, hence the title “Heads-up”…
49
Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:13 pm by theturtleking
I want more than 2 RBN tracks. Stop screwing us over SCEE. Your mistake last week for not processing them in time and now you continue to screw us.

Posted on 5 May, 2010 at 12:13 pm by RedeyeCult
