As warned last week, today we have a smaller update than usual, but I’m hopeful there will be something for most people.

For PS3 users we have got the NBA 2K10 demo available properly (we had some issues first time we tried to release this for you) and the Hextadon pack for Brütal Legend arrives and is free to all for the first two weeks of release, so don’t miss out on this offer. LittleBigPlanet celebrates its anniversary with two pieces of free content; they will only be around for one week, so grab them whilst you can.

The highlight this week for PSP users must be Ghostbusters surely? However, this is followed by two other full games – Dragoneer’s Aria and Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron. We also have another mini making its way to the store in the form of Spot the Differences!

If the new content doesn’t take your fancy this week, then check out the new batch of special offers – it’s a good opportunity to grab some content you may have missed previously, and at reduced prices too.

Finally there’s also an additional piece of content making an appearance on Tuesday (the 10th of November)…more details to follow.

That’s your lot this week.

Hi All,

I’m Gordon Van Dyke and I’m the Associate Producer for Battlefield: Battlefield Bad Company 2 here at EA’s DICE studio in Stockholm.

Today we’re excited to announce that our forthcoming multiplayer beta is coming exclusively to PS3, so you’ll have a chance to experience all the action, destruction and vehicular warfare ahead of our full release on the March 2010.

Starting on November 19th the beta will feature the huge ‘Arica Harbour’ map where up to 24 players compete to secure valuable crates in the ‘Rush’ game mode as the action moves across a variety of different locations. From an initial vehicle assault on a military outpost the war winds through streets of a deserted town to an intense final fire-fight in an industrial harbour.

Check out our announcement video. For a preview on the beta itself click here

Getting access to the beta will differ from country to country but here are a few specific ways of getting hold of a key…

We’ll be holding a special limited giveaway right here on the Playstation Blog
Pre-ordering the game at participating retailers
Checking out selected gaming sites such as IGN or Gamespot in North America.


That’s it for now…although if you have any questions then let me know. Be sure to check back here tomorrow when we have a brand new trailer.

Quantic Dream’s David Cage has expressed his delight over the reaction to Heavy Rain across the web, observing that many gamers have commented on forums that the hotly anticipated thriller has convinced them to invest in a PlayStation 3.

Speaking to the chaps at IGN, Cage commented, “This experience should be available exclusively on PlayStation 3, and we want people to buy a PlayStation 3 because of Heavy Rain.”

“We’re really happy at the moment – and I hope it’s going to last – that when we go onto forums we find people watching the trailers and stuff and saying ‘this is the game that’s going to make me buy a PlayStation 3′.”

Heavy Rain is scheduled for release exclusively on PS3 in early 2010. We’ll have more on the game as it breaks.
