PlayStation Network Update: 02/21/2008

This week on the PSN we see a little bit of everything, we have demos, add-ons, videos and a full game. Of course we see the new Rock Band songs (still days later then on the Xbox 360) and we have the free Guitar Hero 3 song Dream On, free is always nice!

In the form of demos we see a demo for the Q games title PixelJunk Monsters, great little demo, the game is definitely deep and fun. On the PSP front we see the long awaited God of War: Chains of Olympus demo! I tried to get the mail out promotion for this and Canadians were exempt, so I will be happily playing this shortly (finally!).

On the multimedia front we have numerous game videos for MLB 08 the Show, Conflict: Denied Ops and Bionic Commando Rearmed. On the movie and Blu-Ray front we have trailers for Kung Fu Panda and We Own the Night.

Last but not least there is a Lair theme for us all to enjoy. A good update this week, solid if not remarkable.
