PlayStation Network Update: a metric ton of goodies edition photo

This week’s PS Store update is one of the largest in recent memory. All kinds of good stuff is now available for purchase and/or download, and the three big hitters are: the CoD 4 Variety Map Pack (357 MB, $9.99), the echochrome demo (34 MB), and the first full album for Rock Band (Judas Priest’s Screaming For Vengeance; 279 MB, $14.99).

Speaking of music games, Guitar Hero III has added a Def Leppard pack (378 MB, $6.25). It includes live versions of “Rock of Ages” and “Photograph” alongside the band’s new single, “Nine Lives”. In addition, Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore gets 43 new songs at $1.49 each (the full list is after the jump). Want more DLC? You’ve got it: there’s a suspiciously-sized second expansion pack for The Eye of Judgment (118 KB, $14.99) and an Army of Two map pack (378 MB, $7.49).

Finally, Dale complained last week about the lack of PSOne titles, and it seems that Sony heard his pleas. From the 22nd century comes one of the hardest games of all time, the classic arcade shooter R-TYPE. But for extra difficulty, it’s included with its sequel, R-TYPE II, in a package that was released on the PSOne as R-TYPES — and the 243 MB download is still only $5.99!

I had to include the rest of the content after the jump; that’s how massive this update is.

Now, on to the free stuff! In addition to echochrome, there’s the Iron Man demo (948 MB) that’s been out on Xbox Live for a week now. As for videos, there are loads. Game videos include: the Resistance 2 teaser; a GT 5 Prologue “Techno” video; a teaser for the Army of Two map pack; a FIFA 08 “Features” video; trailers for Iron Man and Prototype; two parts of a Burnout Paradise-related interview with Wyclef Jean, and a behind-the-scenes look at the music video for his song “Fast Car”; and finally, a trailer for the Coachella Music Festival.

Whew! The section for movie-related and Blu-ray Disc-related videos has two new additions: trailers for 88 Minutes and The Water Horse. We also have a second theme for The Eye of Judgment, and four GT 5 Prologue wallpapers.

In addition to the aforementioned R-TYPES, the PlayStation Store for PC gets LocoRoco ($21.99) and Kingdom of Paradise ($10.99). In the way of videos, PSP/PC users can download trailers for their two exclusive games, as well as a “Command” trailer for R-TYPE. Lastly, you can access some more free content: seven wallpapers (two for LocoRoco and five for Kingdom of Paradise), and a music track from LocoRoco entitled “Nightmare”.

How are three Guitar Hero tracks that much bigger than nine Rock Band tracks?

Maybe Guitar Hero uses a different format for their songs or their audio is not compressed as much
