Hello Dead Space fans! Today the single player demo for Dead Space 2 is available on the PlayStation Store! We can’t wait for you guys to play it and wanted to share a couple details of what to expect.
In the Dead Space 2 demo, you will take engineer Isaac Clarke on a terrifying adventure through the Church of Unitology, what appears to be a sanctuary quickly turns dangerous and deadly, during the Necromorph outbreak on the Sprawl. You’ll have access to a variety of new tools, including the new Javelin gun that has an electrifying secondary attack, the updated stasis recharge mechanic and enhanced telekinesis ability. Don’t forget to stop at the Store to change into the advanced suit, equipped with jets that will allow Isaac full 360-degree control in zero-g space!

Mass Effect 2 PS3 demo arrives today on PSN
by Jarrett Lee
Today marks the first time PlayStation 3 gamers will be able to experience the Mass Effect universe. The demo for Mass Effect 2 has arrived, allowing players to experiment with character creation (which will you chose: play as the iconic John Shepard or your own customized Commander Shepard?), play through the opening levels of the game, and even jump to an area further into the game to try out some of the more intense combat areas and see the kinds of amazing locations that can be visited throughout the story.
Mass Effect 2 for the PS3 is the most advanced Unreal Engine game shipped to date, and makes full use of the PS3’s hardware to bring this BioWare-created universe to life in spectacular detail. In fact, it was built on the same engine being used to build the recently announced Mass Effect 3! Here’s your chance to see it for yourself – and don’t forget that after the holiday the full game arrives on PS3 January 18th – including six hours of bonus missions, and an interactive digital comic designed by BioWare and Dark Horse Comics to introduce new players to the franchise. The digital comic allows players to make key choices about their back-story that will be reflected during their game.
And that’s not all!

I am trying to be nice but this was a pointless post. Include this on the PSN Update post.
Maybe we would be nicer if we had any idea of what it takes to get this update loaded and pushed out.
PSN updates are always confusing. they are NEVER at a specific time…they are all over the place..
I luuuv you EA. You’re the bigger man of the big men.
I love my PS3/Sony.. But you guys are makin yourselves look bad lettin the other box get it hours ago. Surely someone could have put the BFBC2 dlc up today without having to do it all in 1 package.
im guessing the update is taking forever because of all the stuff they are putting i mean cmon look at all these demos
So… where is MAG?
The fact that there is always problems with this game and that it isn’t even promoted enough is deeply disappointing.
People would love this game!
I heard there was suppose to be a littlebigplanet 2 demo also…
I hope its updates in 10 minutes… (6:30PM central time)
MASS EFFECT 2. Can’t wait for the update!
wow Professor Playstation and crew have had a busy day today. 6 or 7 blog entries today..been a busy day for you guys trying to get all this content out before heading out the door for the holidays…
on behalf of most of the Playstation community(except for those who would complain about be given free ice water in hell) we thank you for your hard work lately, have a safe and wonderful holidays
can u update the store already? it takes so long to update its silly. also there better be some proper free avatars for plus members!!! =)
Holy hell!! I just noticed this is a EA blog post…This isn’t even all the stuff PSN is offering today!!
Push the button!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it is times like these that remind me of the advantage of disc based content . the time to get your game is a simple matter of determining which store opens the earliest … oh well , we’ll all have “NAM ” soon enough and the wait just as quickly forgotten . excited though .
PS come on give us a **** time already dont be a disappointment how hard is it to give a specific time
That is it, I am going to buy an XBOX 360, these updates are taking too long! ;)
UPDATE ALREADY!!!!!
@ #30
I totally agree with you. I have to agree that I have come a long ways to accepting EA into one of my “top developers list.” They have changed around their ways of doing things and are delivering some of the better gaming experiences this generation.
BFBC2: Vietnam $15 = maps, guns, vehicles, etc etc etc.
Black Ops map pack $15 = 4 maps… and 1 zombie map…
Hmm who would you rather support?!
Looks like we’re in for the long haul.
Sry for the double post but I HAVE to correct myself..
I meant to say “I have to admit that I have come along ways..”
Lol \m/
freaking update it!!! ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!
The shooter out there..great job!
BLAH!! I wouldn’t be suprised if the update didn’t come until 9:00PM central time….UGH
argh!!! i cant take it update psn
GIVE ME UPDATE OR GIVE ME DEATH!!!!
WE ALL SHOULD GET 5 dolla discount 4 the wait
Anyone reading this blog post already knows there is an update that should have already been served by now. Why are you reminding us that you are dragging on BBC2 Vietnam?! UPDATE @$%&?!@!
