Playstation Store Updates (7th April 2011)
Here are all the latest updates to arrive to the Playstation Store this week for all European customers (subject to availability, which will be noted on certain products and titles).
Highlight this week is of course the SOCOM: Special Forces Multiplayer Beta, which hits the main store this week after being available exclusively to Playstation Plus users. It will be available for only a week so get your skates on. To read our impressions of the Multiplayer beta click here.
Special offers for Playstation Plus users come thick and fast this week, as the newly released Red Faction Battlegrounds, is available for free. Red Faction Battlegrounds is also available to general PSN users for a meagre £6.29. Dungeon Hunter: Alliance also arrives to the Playstation store, setting you back £9.99. But there is a 25% discount for all Playstation Plus users who wish to purchase.
An addition to Killzone 3’s excellent online experience comes in the form of the Steel Rain Pack, with all brand new maps to team up and gun down your foes. This add-on is free for all Playstation Plus users, but don’t fret if you don’t have a PS+ account, because you can get your hands on it for only £3.99.
Plenty to go around ladies and gents, enjoy!
