After you’ve updated your PS3 with the new 2.00 firmware, you’re in for a real treat with tonight’s PlayStation Store update. The demo for Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune has finally arrived, and it doesn’t disappoint one bit. It’s a doozie of a download at 1.2 GB, but it’s well worth the wait. The cover system, gunplay and melee combat are fantastic, the character animations are stunning and the environmental detail and level designs are unbelievable. If the demo is this good, I can’t wait to see how the full game comes together!
Don’t think the Uncharted demo is the only worthwhile piece of new content tonight though. A demo for College Hoops 2K8 is now available, along with three add-on packs: the MotorStorm Devil’s Weekend Add-On ($5.99) and the way overpriced Guitar Hero III Foo Fighters and Velvet Revolver song packs both running $6.25 for three songs each. Game trailers are in abundance too, including videos for MotorStorm Devil’s Weekend, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Devil May Cry 4, WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 and Burnout Paradise, complimented by movie/blu-ray trailers for One Missed Call, Sweeney Todd and Hostel Part II. And last but not least, a set of five Call of Duty 4 wallpapers and three free XMB themes are available to accompany the new theme functionality added in firmware 2.00.

WAY OVERPRICED GHIII PACKS?! Dood, seriously…after licensing fees, development costs for the note chart, fees to Activision, Sony, Microsoft, the money is cost to put the songs on Live and PSN…after everything is considered, $6.25 each is about right for a price. Now…that doesn’t mean that VELVET REVOLVER is worth it…but The Foo…TOTALLY worth it.
Well yeah, from a business standpoint I understand they have to release them at somewhat of a high price to cover the licensing fees and all that jazz, but I’m sorry, over 6 bucks for three songs just isn’t worth it to me. There are full downloadable XBLA and PSN games cheaper than that for crying out loud. I simply don’t see the value in paying that much for only a few extra songs.
