So, today’s historic occasion has arrived; the first Wednesday store update. I didn’t go overboard with the goodbyes to Thursday updates last week, because it was just so sad, I was on the verge of breaking down. It’s all about looking forwards to the shiny new store update day instead.

To celebrate this ‘kick-ass’ occasion, ahem, we have available the game version of the comic and film hit, Kick-Ass (please note, whilst this initial release is for the English language stores only, all other locales will be getting it released in due course). We also have two other full games available this week in the form of Anarchy: Rush Hour and Feeding Frenzy 2, whilst for PSP users you’ll be able to get to grips with R-Type Tactics.

We also have two massive demos for you this week, for the forthcoming titles UFC Undisputed 2010, and Split/Second: Velocity, and we also have the first expansion for the PSN exclusive title Burn Zombie Burn!, and it’s set in space, what more do you need?

Finally; The Stimulus Pack is here! Not sure if you’ve heard of this? Of course you have, who am I kidding? For those of you who have been itching to get your hands on the new maps for the multiplayer experience of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, now is your chance.

Throw into the mix the Flower soundtrack, a new episode of FirstPlay, new themes and avatars, and more add-ons, and that’s your first Wednesday update.

Let me know how that grabs you in the comments section as usual.

Cheers.

Weekly salutations, people of PlayStation.

How’s May treating everyone so far? I’m back to tell you about what we have for you in this week’s episode of FirstPlay, which will be on the Store this Wednesday. Wednesday updates! Exciting times.

Unless you have been living under a stone for the past week, you should have realised we have released a brand new VidZone patch!

As a quick recap, this includes improved search function, in-store game purchasing, a snazzy new main menu carousel and 100s of brand new TV channels including Artist TV, Genre TV, Label TV and Year TV! Is your favourite artist there? Are you missing a specific Genre? Or do you have any great playlists you remember us featuring that we can create a channel for?

You may have also noticed a new channel magically appearing earlier this week – Sub Focus TV! We’ve had one of the first plays of brand new Sub Focus video ‘Splash’ featuring Coco who is tipped for big things this year and is Sting’s talented daughter – if you’ve not checked it out yet, then we suggest you do!

Enough of that… on to this week’s update…

Hi all, hope you’re well. Me? Fine; thanks for asking

This week we’ve got a brand new batch of Special Offers available, and we’re featuring our LittleBigPlanet Street Fighter costumes to tie in nicely with the launch of a certain game this Friday (as well as releasing some additional content for said game on the store this week too).

The full rundown of content is below.

One last point, a reminder if you will, from next week (5th of May) the store will change the weekly update day to Wednesday.

Hi Folks!

My name is James Marsden and I’m the Managing Director of FuturLab, an independent development studio based in Brighton, UK.

Over the next few weeks I am going to be sharing our story about how a bunch of ambitious Flash developers became licensed to make games for PlayStation, and how we’ve made the move from Flash to PSP!

First of all, let me give you an overview of our upcoming PSP and PS3 minis game, Coconut Dodge, due for exclusive release on PlayStation Store in May.
