So far, the God of War III demo has made its way to Japan and the US in various ways but nothing for Europe. Until now, that is. This weekend, SCEE will be emailing out voucher codes to a selected number of PAL PSN users who registered to receive the SCEE promotional newsletter. The voucher code will allow users to download the E3 demo of God of War III, which is scheduled for release in March 2010.
Mike Kebby wasn’t lying last week when he said that Europe would be getting a massive update. Europe has indeed received a massive update with five new playable demos, price promotion on many titles and a plethora of game add-on content, including new packs for Cross Edge, Guitar Hero 5, DJ Hero and Rock Band: Beatles. The US Store update is smaller but includes three new demos, add-on game content and videos.
Come December 29th, when you snag your copy of District 9 on Blu-ray, included on the very same disc will be the highly sought after God of War III E3 2009 Demo. This hybrid disc is an industry and PlayStation first which will pair together this summer’s must see Sci-Fi BLOCKBUSTER with SCEA’s powerhouse action title. As an added bonus for God of War fans, those that complete the demo will unlock an exclusive making of featurette about God of War III.
WipEout HD will be getting a patch soon, which makes some small improvements to front-end functionality and addresses some minor issues with the audio. In addition, small issues that could affect gameplay or scores in the Eliminator and Detonator game modes have also been corrected. Changes have also been made so that any adverts shown during loading screens will not adversely affect the loading times of the title.
This year, why not stay in and take part in the Halloween fun on the PlayStation Network.

Taking place from 6-8pm (GMT) on 31st October 2009 within the Burn Zombie Burn space, all appropriately dressed attendees will get a (trick or) treat upon arrival.
For a limited time only, all Call of Duty: World at War map packs are half price on the PlayStation Store. The three World at War map packs are available for half price until November 1st 2009 and only to North America – sorry Europe! If you are missing one of the three packs, this is a perfect time to complete your collection.
The God of War Collection has gone gold – meaning development on the titles is now complete. Fans can look forward to playing God of War and God of War II in stunning HD on November 17th 2009, when the Blu-Ray collection hits shops.

If you are a trophy whore, you will be glad to know that this collection has not one, but two Platinum trophies!
The first Brütal Legend downloadable pack will hit the PlayStation Store on November 5th 2009.

In addition, the DLC will be available for free for two weeks.
