PlayStation Store (PS3) update - 29/01/09

PlayStation Network's variety of trailers, packs, games and goodies have become even more exciting with some fresh content for Mirror's Edge, LittleBigPlanet and High Velocity Bowling, to name but a few. Download them to your PS3 and enjoy.

On the Edge again

Enter a world where information is heavily monitored, where crime is just a memory, where most people sacrifice freedom for a comfortable life... and some choose to live differently. This is the world of Mirror's Edge, where you control a rooftop messenger called Faith - and now you can experience her reality distilled down to its purest form and its purest vision in a Sony exclusive map and nine races across seven all-new and totally redesigned Time Trial maps.

Go on a run you'll never forget, and when you need a vital breather, download the Mirror's Edge wallpapers to customise your PLAYSTATION 3 Home Menu's background.

Finally, the Fantasy you've been waiting for

Epic role playing game series Final Fantasy approaches its newest iteration with the eagerly anticipated Final Fantasy XIII - and now you can get a glimpse of how it's developing with a new trailer to download on PSN. The game will see you embarking on a journey through the outer world of Pulse and the city world of Cocoon, encountering powerful allies that will fight alongside you. Do you have the courage to fulfil your destiny?

By Zeus, it's Sackboy

Not even LittleBigPlanet's diminutive main character, Sackboy, can escape the wrath of the gods as a God of War Level Kit is available to download which has lots of goodies to create your own God of War levels, including stickers and costumes such as Kratos, the charismatic anti-hero of the adult action adventure.

If you're longing for something a little less deity driven, there is also the Ground Hog Day costume to help you celebrate the American and Canadian holiday.

Coming at High Velocity

Watch the new High Velocity Bowling trailer and get ready to meet some of the crazy extra characters you could add to your HVB roster. Step into the fresh bowling shoes of freaky kid Gage, Memphis country boy Darryl, disco queen Foxy and trailer trash dancer Chastity.

Each of these additional characters has individual strengths and weaknesses and comes with their own self-styled bowling alley and personalised ball, not to mention a sack load of quirks. Download the trailer to find out more.

Need a hero?

Download a new way to play Hero Team Deathmatch for The Lord of the Rings: Conquest. Hero Arenas let you pit Good and Evil heroes against each other in a 1v1 or 2v2 showdown. In this bonus pack you can choose all good troops, all evil soldiers or a mixture of both and finally answer the question of which hero would emerge victorious from a fight if they were able to stand toe to toe and face off without all the other distractions of the battlefield.

Skate into view once more

Download the new Skate 2 Filmer Pack and upgrade skate.Reel with advanced camera controls for the replay editor, custom watermarks, expanded online storage (share up to five minutes of footage) plus extra gear for your skater. Think you're the best at Skate 2? Now's the time to show it.

Time to Rock

Build your Rock Band library by purchasing the song game track pack: Grateful Dead Pack 02, for the popular music title. This pack includes Cold Rain and Snow, Doin' That Rag, Don't Ease Me In, Fire on the Mountain, Hell in a Bucket, and Uncle John's Band by Grateful Dead. Download as a combination pack or as separate songs - and rock out the way you want.
