Hmm, another week, another phenomenal update on the good old PSN. Tons of content here; granted much of it is probably calculated to hit during the European PlayStation day, but still it is appreciated!

First off in the game front we see a re-post(?) of Rocketman: Axis of Evil for download as well as the much anticipated PixelJunk Monsters Encore add-on. The expansion to the amazing PixelJunk Monsters is sure to be a huge hit on the PSN this week. We also see some new Rock Band tracks as well as some favorable priced tracks featured for a limited time. Lastly on the musical front we have the Guitar Hero III Muse track pack for your playing enjoyment!

Demos abound this week with the highly anticipated Haze single and co-op demo dropping this week. I have tried this and thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't wait to try the 4 player co-op with some of you. We also have the Bourne Conspiracy demo and a demo for Codemasters GRID which should be a solid alternative to GT5 Prologue.

A boatload of videos for our viewing pleasure looking at games such as WipEout HD, Mirror's Edge, Mercenaries 2, Overlord: Raising Hell, The Wheelman, and TNA iMPACT! We also have a number of movie trailers looking at Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Love Guru and Iron Man.

Finally on the GUI front we have a new PixelJunk Monsters and Sports based theme and a couple of PixelJunk Monsters wallpapers.

This is another stellar week for PlayStation 3 fans and hopefully this trend of updates continues!
