European PlayStation Store Update for April 1, 2010

164w ago - Today Mike Kebby from the SCEE PlayStation Store Team has posted this week's European PSN update, as follows:

I'm pleased to say we have available the pre-order for the forthcoming Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse series of episodes.

Until the launch of the first episode you can pre-order the bundle at a lower price, and then once the episodes are released (one each month) you can download them directly from the store.

If you haven't enjoyed any of the previous titles featuring this great team, then prepare for some serious fun; and it's not much longer to wait until the first episode is upon us.

This week you're also going to be able to take another trip into the world of Heavy Rain, with a new scene featuring Madison (some of you may recognise this as the scene that was used to demo the game at Leipzig 2008).

It goes without saying this is all served up with lots more great content, which is all handily listed below.

If I don't get the chance to talk to you directly in the comments this week, have an awesome Easter, and see you on the flipside.
