PlayStation Network Update: 02/14/2008

Written by Michael Prince
Published February 16, 2008

Another great week for a PS3 owner, this week we see the usual suspects, notably three new Rock Band songs to enhance that great game. There is a demo for the highly anticipated MLB 08 The Show, not my kind of game but I imagine it will see an incredibly large amount of downloads.

On the multimedia front we have numerous game videos for MLB 08 The Show, LittleBigPlanet (woot), Conflict: Denied Ops, Turok, Burnout Paradise and Tony Hawk's Proving Ground. All of these videos give great looks at each game they represent and are worthy downloads. We also see a movie trailer of The Ruins and a Super Stardust HD theme (which is actually really well done).

Lastly I have listed the fact that the amazing demo Patapon is now available on the PSN store, you can then drop it on a memory stick duo and play it on your PSP (no need to use the currently clunky PlayStation store for PC).

Once again Sony has given us a lot to check out, enjoy this weeks update!

PS3 Demos

MLB 08 The Show Demo
There is a reason why ESPN Magazine claims MLB 08 The Show is "the most realistic baseball game ever created" - because it is. But don't take our word for it - get your own hands-on experience with the MLB 08 The Show demo. Nothing Gets You Closer.
ESRB Rated E

PSP Demos

Patapon Demo
This rhythm based PSP game has you controlling a tribe of warlike creatures bristling with weapons. The demo features a play-where-you-end system so if you purchase the full game you can start where the demo ended.
