US PS Store Update, August 23 - Resistance 3, PSN PLAY, Parasite Eve II

News by Brenna Hillier Contributor

Published on Aug. 24, 2011

The big news in this week's US PS Store update is the first title of Sony's PSN PLAY scheme - Street Fighter 3: Third Strike Online Edition - but come through for plenty of other goodies including some beta for a little shooter, maybe you've heard of it.

PSN PLAY allows you to pre-order digital games, and receive discounts and bonus content. You have to get in before September 19, mind.

Parasite Eve 2 is sure to delight PSOne Classic fans, although if you've only played the original RPG you're in for a survival horror surprise.

It's a good time to pick up DLC with a number of free content packs for Motorstorm Apocalypse as well as price cuts on Disgaea 3's many, many add-ons - you'll get them all with the Vita re-release should it arrive locally so bear that in mind.

A couple of items packs have turned up for Dragon Age 2, while Rock band plays host to Incubus.

On the demo side, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is urning heads today, while Hamilton’s Great Adventure looks worth a try - maybe this quirky indie can put a smile on your grim, jaded face.

There's also a startling number of Street Fighter avatars down there.

Yes, yes - and the Resistance 3 beta is live. Go nuts.

See all the details below, thanks to the US PS Blog.
