This week's PSN Store update is truly Euro-centric. Not only do we have the first episode of the Europe-exclusive "PSN TV Show" Movement, but there's also four packs of Buzz! Quiz TV content available to purchase. Movement's first episode is split into eight videos, including four live performances from the two featured Parisian bands. If you actually want to play something today, however, there's always Wolf of the Battlefield Commando 3. Here's the full release list:
Playable content
Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 Full Game (£6.99/€9.99)
Space Invaders Extreme demo for PSP (free)
Add-on content
Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 "Gift Pack" map pack (free)
Buzz! Quiz TV "UK Culture" quiz pack (£3.49/€4.99)
Buzz! Quiz TV "Australian Culture" quiz pack (£3.49/€4.99)
Buzz! Quiz TV "Sci Fi" quiz pack (£3.49/€4.99)
Buzz! Quiz TV "Rock Legends" quiz pack (£3.49/€4.99)
Guitar Hero III "July 4th Holiday single" (free)
Videos
8 Movement "Paris" videos
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway Ubidays trailer
Haze launch trailer
Themes and wallpapers
Metal Gear Solid 4 theme
Elefunk theme
Echochrome theme
Top Spin 3 wallpaper
Elefunk "Forest" wallpaper
Elefunk "Circus" wallpaper
On closer inspection, there appear to be more Buzz! Quiz TV quiz packs than we thought. Each country should have a "Culture" pack corresponding to their particular region.
I read on Wikipedia that Echocrome was supposed to be out this week. Its getting a bit ridiculous the psn store. I always find my self waiting and hoping for sum decent content but instead sony just flings the biggest load of garbage on there. They talk about quality over quantity. Well there is hardly any quality titles on that store what so ever.
Hi, ATTENTION!!!!! ATTENTION!!!! :) For those who don't know!!!!!!!!
This is for European folks (people wit EU accounts). This is how you can purchase games and add-ons from American accounts. You can make "Prepaid Virtual VISA account" here:
http://www.entropay.com/ What this do? Well it's like its says. It is VIRTUAL VISA card. All you need to do is go to their website,create account.After that you have your virtual VISA card. You transfer the money from your usual account to "VIRTUAL VISA Card" (amount absolutely up to you).
Then you go to American PSN and purchase what you want. I'm doing this from the launch of PSN. Got the Pain,Echochrome,etc... from the first day they where released on American PSN.
This metod function for all of PSN stores.
I hope I helped for those who didn't knew this,and don't want to wait till games are released on EU PSN. Happy playing.

Apparently echochrome (PS3 version) is 10 July according to the official release calendar. Pretty lame it takes so long to "localise" this game but we're used to the poor service from SCEE. http://uk.playstation.com/games-media/release-calendar/
Of cause no echochrome. They told us it would be here, so of cause it isn’t. Seems like you guys forgot how Sony works these days. Promise, break promise, promise again, silence…
But then again, I shouldn’t complain, cause we got the 2.40 update where they finally copied some good stuff from the 360 – oh, that doesn’t work either?

Why not just sign up for an American account and get it from there?

Because the US store won't take UK credit cards, and buying/importing the PSN cards costs more than it's worth.

Those Buzz! DLC packs are a bit pricey. Trust me to have around £2.50 in my wallet, and nothing in my bank account. Just my luck...
