Other big beats dropping this week are World Gone Sour and sweet new GTA content. If you need a sugar fix, you’ll want to check out World Gone Sour. Assume the role of a lost piece of candy destined to find its way to the ultimate goal: your stomach! On the other hand, if you missed out on the critically acclaimed Add-ons to Grand Theft Auto IV, you can now download them as the PS3 Full Game section sees the release of Grand Theft Auto IV Episodes From Liberty City. PlayStation Plus subscribers can pick up this content for the great price of $11.99 for this week only.

The Pinball Arcade is out now on the PlayStation Store . PS3 and PS Vita owners take note: when you purchase the PS3 version, you get the PS Vita version bundled along with it! Running at a buttery-smooth 60 frames per second with eye-popping graphical and lighting effects, this is the perfect pinball game to grab on the go. Future DLC for the game will also be able to be purchased once and accessed on both PS3 and PS Vita.


PlayStation Store Update

Great new Add-Ons are also hitting the Store today. Uncharted 3 wraps up the Fortune Hunters Club content with the Drake’s Deception Multiplayer Map Pack. (Remember, this is the last week to take advantage of Fortune Hunters Club!) Offering all new maps and content for the thriving UC3 multiplayer community, you’ll want to check out the all new levels, each with their own dynamic environmental changes. Mass Effect 3 fans will also want to snag the Resurgence Pack bringing new maps, weapons and characters to the co-op action of ME3’s multiplayer.

  • Thanks for another week of great content!!!

  • Early update? I’m okay with this. Time to go download P3FES. Awesome as always! =]

    • The team works incredibly hard each week to get this published as early as possible so we’re happy to get this update to you guys a bit earlier than normal. Enjoy Persona 3!

  • OMFG!! how did the store update, its not 11pm!??!

  • Thanks for the earliest update I’ve seen, 5 hours early!

  • That is way too DARN EARLY!!! :-D Hope you do the same like what you did for today for every Tuesdays! Thank you for those great updates.

  • I don’t see Skullgirls listed on this post under “Demos”. So is there or isn’t there a demo available?

  • Holy crap, new record for earliest store update?

    Not complaining as I’ve been waiting all week for Skullgirls. Persona3 for only $10 also is a nice bonus.

  • I think there’s a mistake on Wipeout HD’s original price, wasn’t it 19,99$? I’ve never seen it at 40,99$…

  • Wholy crap… can this be standard.. Oh and are you guys going to post PAX trailers?

  • Wow, SUPER early update! Skullgirls here I come!

  • oooo early update.. Pinball and Persona for me! Skullgirls demo not this week i see, guess I have to wait on it then.

  • Super early updates make baby jesus smile. Keep it up Sony meisters…

  • sweet vita goodies buying now :)

    thanks

  • Really excited about Persona 3 FES–everyone should try that game! I already have the disc version (wish I could play that on the PS3 though), but still exciting for people who haven’t had a chance to play it before. Really hoping Persona 4 and other great PS2 RPGs end up on PSN soon. The selection is still so small…

    • We’ve got some more great titles in the pipeline with the goal of making this collection larger and larger.

  • And sweet, the Journey soundtrack is half of the itunes price! Any news on more Vita games and such?… before the end of May?

  • I thought there was supposed to be a Pinball Arcade demo as well? Oh well, I’m probably buying it today as soon as I get off work — which will now be earlier than normal. ;)

  • With all due respect, a weak week for me ;)

  • early updates!!!!! skullgirls for sure!

  • Hello!,

    Please fix the Magic 2012 DLC!!!!

    Nice update and early! P3Fes very nice! thanks

  • Wait a minute…wheres my Asura’s Wrath dlc???!?!?

  • I don’t see the Escape Plan dlc listed here. Is it out???

    Also, is the PS+ minis issue fixed yet? Giving us these minis is very nice and everything, but it’d be even nicer if I could play them on this shiny new handheld I have here!

    • Yes it’s out, but not listed above. I’ll get this listed asap. To download this free DLC, simply fire up Escape Plan and get the content in the update.

  • …this cant be real…

  • I think there’s an error in this post. It says PlayStation Store Update, but I still see the sun out the window.

  • will pick up skullguys and sour patch games.

  • Thanks for the early update, lots of good content too.

  • @23 Bad news. Skullguys had gender reassignment surgery prior to release. :-/

  • I want to complain – “THIS UPDATE IS TO EARLY! ! !” LoL:D (JOKE) ;)

  • Unch not showing up yet. Such a tease seeing the blog post but not being able to download it lol.

  • If I purchase the pinball game for the vita, will I still be able to play it on PS3, or will I be screwed if I hopped on and bought it for the vita first?

  • SKULLLLGIRLLLSSSSSSS

  • Budapesti , why they changed it at the last minute ? well i guess skullGirls it is then.

  • Skull Girls not working!!! I bought the game, I was able to download the unlock, but the demo it self shows an error when I try to download. It already took the money out my account, so FIX THIS!!! Good day!

  • Whoa, this is incredible timing. I believe I know what I am doing first thing after work. Hopefully this is a start of a trend.

  • I wish all updates were this early!

    Grabbing Persona 3 right now :D

  • Oh man I didn’t know it was 11pm EST already… wait.. the store… updated early? Dang it! I was looking forward to complaining about it!! >:(

    WO3 DLC!! Yessssssss

  • Great update and at a reasonable time!

  • @11 baby jesus enjoys early demos? You really do learn something new everyday

  • Ah, so you have to go to Escape Plan’s live area on your vita to download the new update and DLC (it’s a whopping 565mb, people. I hope you’ve got at least an 8gb memory card!)

  • Where’s Bakuki’s Lair? No patch, no dlc, this blows. Why bother to announce it one week and then bail the next?

  • Figures it shows up on live area 30 seconds after I post.

  • Good news

  • Can I buy House of the Dead 4 within the demo? If not then what exactly is the point of it?

  • At leat you did the update early

  • New record time to the update! !!!!!!!

  • No way is this an early update! I’m so happy! I’ll check the skullgirls demo? No.. ah. I really wanted to try the fighting style before I bought it… guess I’ll have to wait then. I’ll somehow venture back into the steel iron of multiplayer that is Uncharted 3. This is a very nice update though, very EARLY, which is awesome! Lots of good DLC and a fresh new game. Hope this continues ~ I was planning on picking up a PSN card this week anyways.

  • Hmmmm. no free escape plan dlc???
