PlayStation Network Update: don't blame the messenger edition photo

We're still a few weeks away from the magical April update that PS3 owners are anticipating. While there have been no concrete announcements on what to expect, people want in-game XMB and Home, and we expect Sony to deliver... something.

In the meantime, there's not much to offer you. Don't blame the messenger. This week there's a ToyHome Expansion Pack ($6.99) that promises six new vehicles, two new playrooms, and 4-player online and offline multiplayer support — and it's all somehow packed into a 100 KB package. 

I expect that you've already heard about the free Guitar Hero III download from Dropkick Murphys. You'll still have to pony up $.99 for Rock Band's offerings this week. Aside from these, PAIN has two more characters: a Cheerleader named Muffy and a Nurse named Ginger ($0.99 ea).

This week's update only offers one demo: Major League Baseball 2K8. It features 2 teams (Boston and Colorado) and 1 stadium (Fenway Park), and it weighs in at 952 MB.

The best offerings this week are the PS3 themes. Pick your favorites from God of War: Chains of Olympus, PAIN, and Condemned 2: Bloodshot. Five in all.

Finally, there are no movie trailers this week. There is some new footage from Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds and Viking: Battle for Asgard for you to look over.

That's it! What are you downloading this week?

Wow that store screen looks so much better on a widescreen tv. My crappy sd 4:3 gives me 6 updates per page and no what's new list. Unless that's a to-come pic?

just wondering, how often does Sony put up new content on their marketplace? being a 360 owner I wonder if PS3 owners are as spoiled as we are

That being said, thats a nice looking markletplace

yeah the God of War themes are quite nice I think. I still like just the plain background on the PS3, but I downloaded the PSP version and it looks quite nice on the small screen. Definitely worth the FREE cost of admission (here's looking at you MS!)

I can't believe 360 themes cost money. Good on Sony.
