With loads of power-ups falling on the ice to the ability to level a guy clear out of the rink, this is definitely not your typical simulation. This full version of the game offers online play, achievements, leaderboard tracking, and more features that will have you coming back for more.

Eric2929 | February 5th, 2009 at 4:52 pm

For once, the Euro update actually trumped this one.

Ftwrthtx | February 5th, 2009 at 4:53 pm

Nice update

psufan001 | February 5th, 2009 at 4:53 pm

Not too bad, I wish the LBP stuff was free though :/.

NativeCain | February 5th, 2009 at 4:53 pm

Been waiting for the Burnout Paradise Party pack..glad its here =)

tirminyl | February 5th, 2009 at 4:55 pm

Nice update. Downloaded KZ2, and will be getting the MLB demo as well as purchasing another game off PSN. Keep it up!

Sporting_4_Eva | February 5th, 2009 at 4:55 pm

Sporting_4_Eva | February 5th, 2009 at 4:56 pm

vegan_mekey | February 5th, 2009 at 4:57 pm

Can you guys answer for me when i fail my advanced nutrition II exam tomorrow???

jgnyy32 | February 5th, 2009 at 4:57 pm

i will download the MLB 09 demo and Phantasy Star Portable. MLB 09 is looking really good. GO Yankees !!!

JesseHaysFL | February 5th, 2009 at 4:58 pm

thanks for the update, Please please please put up flower soon….I’m feeling a little depressed and I’m getting laid off from a very good job that i moved across country for (from florida to washington state three months ago) so i really need the peace and tranquility of flower….thank you.

Neil | February 5th, 2009 at 4:58 pm

Awesome.

Patriotbball5460 | February 5th, 2009 at 4:58 pm

Both the KZ2 and 3 on 3 NHL Arcade demos were good off of the euro store, and obviously the MLB 09 one is a lock to be great so not a bad week, but the EU finally caught up on some games so they kinnda win but we already had those games so it levels out!

Buddy175 | February 5th, 2009 at 4:59 pm

Finally the store updated! i have been waiting. that is a shame that we have to pay for the LBP valentine’s day dlc. i got my hopes up for nothin :(

JohnnyMoses | February 5th, 2009 at 4:59 pm

Dear Sony Folks,

You do realize it’s 8pm on the east coast, right? Just making sure!

TakiFuGu | February 5th, 2009 at 4:59 pm

Can anybody here tell me what’s included in the Burnout Paradise Party Pack? I want to buy it.

Zezzler | February 5th, 2009 at 5:01 pm

Yay 4 Killzone 2 demo!!!!

lotsa great stuff today… im actually on my ps3 right now :P

Saiks | February 5th, 2009 at 5:01 pm

Weak update

JoE5005 | February 5th, 2009 at 5:01 pm

Great update in terms of demos. Thanks Grace!

nymph3ta | February 5th, 2009 at 5:01 pm

Nice update. Looking forward to try out MLB 09 and that Burnout Paradise.

i_like_toast | February 5th, 2009 at 5:01 pm

MLB 09 the show

alaM0000 | February 5th, 2009 at 5:02 pm

i guess we gotta wait for KILLZONE 2 demo to come out!!!! :D

Craiji | February 5th, 2009 at 5:02 pm

Nice on the PSP demo, now where is the US Ad-hoc party? I want my X and O buttons to be how I am use to.

ThreeLeggedFreak | February 5th, 2009 at 5:02 pm

Are we gonna get a PS1 game in ‘09?

Demonhunter84 | February 5th, 2009 at 5:03 pm

Buying the Burnout Paradise Party Pack and the LBP Valentine’s DLC kinda wish it was free but oh well we had a free DLC last week.

Patriotbball5460 | February 5th, 2009 at 5:04 pm

@15 http://playstation.joystiq.com/2009/02/05/review-burnout-paradise-party-criterions-first-premium-dlc/

I am getting hit just to show my support for criterion and all that they have done for free

Lord_ShadowRyu | February 5th, 2009 at 5:04 pm

Every update for the playstation 3 is not really great its to plain when there can be way more to offer come on. Sony step it up there more out there on the market than just 10 things to look at. Get some of those companys to give more demos more thems cooler stuff to look at then the same ole same ole. I would love to get ya great ideas.

Anddo | February 5th, 2009 at 5:06 pm

Killzone 2, MLB: The and Phantasy Star Portable demos all in the same day WOOT!

DMeisterJ | February 5th, 2009 at 5:08 pm

Hey, actual PSP love.

And an ok update, but much worse than the EU one.

ryanc08 | February 5th, 2009 at 5:08 pm

Not a big fan of sports game but will try out MLB 2009, best update of the year so far…but again thats not saying much

gtabmx | February 5th, 2009 at 5:09 pm

Why is NHL 3 on 3 Arcade a “Trial” as opposed to a demo? Will it expire?

sNsKid | February 5th, 2009 at 5:09 pm

The PS Store updates were so much better last year and suck hard this year for some reason.

Vengeful-Chaos | February 5th, 2009 at 5:10 pm

Is the PSP store ever going to pick up? Is it so much to as for some PSP content for my 200×2 dollar investment.

Netweb | February 5th, 2009 at 5:10 pm

Killzone 2 not here?
SWEET… but BAD!
SONY lauch the same stuff for everyone.. we are all nice guys and girls!

lilbuddy | February 5th, 2009 at 5:10 pm

Awesome update. I love the two sports games offered as DEMOs.

Cwalat | February 5th, 2009 at 5:11 pm

For ONCE.. the EU had better results.

but then again, things will go back to normal next week.

MrBeatdown | February 5th, 2009 at 5:12 pm

If Hot Shots Golf continues to be supported by DLC, why is there still no trophy patch? To me it seems backwards to be updating the game with new content while overlooking trophies which I’m sure every Hot Shots player would like to see.

Also, will there ever be a demo for Crash Commando? I won’t be buying it until I know I know I will like it.

skynidas | February 5th, 2009 at 5:12 pm

Good update, cant wait for next week’s update…Flower!!!

TheInfectedBy590 | February 5th, 2009 at 5:14 pm

Loving the KZ2 demo! :)
Also, PSN needs more PS1 games!

NeonReaver | February 5th, 2009 at 5:15 pm

What happened to the Killzone demo coming today? I thought it was supposed to be available for everyone today?

WINNERS_CIRCLE24 | February 5th, 2009 at 5:17 pm

where is Flower? i thought it was this week

Nokiri | February 5th, 2009 at 5:17 pm

it says i already bought the ultimate pack of burnout..cause i bought burnout on psn on 2008.. but how can i get party pack then.? i have to redownload the full game?but it dsnt let me?

Zookey | February 5th, 2009 at 5:17 pm

I second 37 more PS1 games PLEASSE

Europe and Japan has had Crash Team Racing forever–why can’t we have it?

Also, you know what’d be awesome? Develop a program called ‘multitap’ that tricks legacy PSone games into thinking the PSN is just local multiplayer (kinda like Ad Hoc Party for PSP in Japan) so we can play multiplayer PSone games–maybe make that part of HOME? Like if people visit your apartment you can all play PSone games together on your HOME TV?

DrBingogh | February 5th, 2009 at 5:17 pm

Not bad. I would have downloaded a KZ2 demo for sure if it was made available. Burnout is a must buy but I can skip the LBP pack. If you don’t build why buy more stuff?

AdamMadman | February 5th, 2009 at 5:18 pm

The lack of Killzone 2 demo is fail. Looks like I’ll be looking to the EU PSN store update instead.

sbf717 | February 5th, 2009 at 5:19 pm

Seeing the Phantasy Star Portable demo on the store makes me wanna jump for joy. :D I’m so happy they made an english demo. :D I hope Sega will also have the full game on the Store as well.
