This week the PlayStation store is a bit up and down. We have some excellent demos and a great PSN game. Unfortunately, the music and wallpaper are not exactly the greatest offerings the service has ever extended. The biggest reason why you should turn on your PS3 and update your firmware is that PixelJunk Eden is finally out. There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t be swinging from plants, collecting pollen, and enjoying Q-Games beautiful art. At least check out the demo if you’re still skeptical. Oh yeah, and there's Trophy support.

Just like Xbox Live got earlier today, PSN updated its store with demos of Madden NFL Football 2009 and FaceBreaker. Madden will show you how the game adapts to your skill, and then put you in the precarious 4th quarter position that the Giants found themselves in during the SuperBowl this year. Unfortunately, David Tyree isn’t there to save the day, but at least you can run a slant with Shockey. FaceBreaker is cartoon boxing, with heavy pizzazz. I’m still not sure what to think about it.

SoulCalibur IV already has some helmets and equipment you can buy for $1.49, and Rock Band was gifted with a smattering of songs. Some of the more notable titles are “Yomp” by thenewno2 ($0.99) and “This is it” by Staind ($1.99.) I haven’t bought a Staind album since I was twelve, but I remember that “Mudshovel” and the bonus bathroom track rocked.

Hit the break to check out what else is being offered on the download front, and tell me what you think you’ll download this week.
