PSN, PC PlayStation Store update for US: MGS4 theme, Syphon Filter 3, Dark Mirror, ETQW Demo, more

We know hardly any of you would look this way, now that your pre-order of Snake’s final chapter has shipped to your doorstep. But Sony would just like you to know that they’ve added new things to the US PlayStation Store this week, and some of it’s even angled to enhance your Metal Gear Solid 4 experience. There’s also a slew of free downloadable content for both the next generation console and the PSP, as well as UMD titles finally hitting the PC store. Read more to get the full list.

 

Sony unveiled this week’s content updates on the US PlayStation Network via the official PlayStation blogs, and PS Store senior manager Grace Chen began the list with a new addition to the PSOne classic games you can play on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. Syphon Filter 3, an oldie but still a goody, can now be had at 6 bucks a piece, though that only nets you one version and not both.

New additions to add-on game content include Guitar Hero III track packs, a Rock Band song library update, and a free downloadable map pack for Army of Two. Ready for your perusal this week is the Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars demo, which mirrors the PC and Xbox 360 demos in setting and content.

Those who are still wondering what’s keeping their MGS4 order long can stave off impatience with the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots “Theatrical” Trailer, among other trailers for Fatal Inertia EX and Kung Fu Panda. Also to get you into the stealth action mood is a full PlayStation 3 theme for Metal Gear Solid 4, courtesy of Sony.
