126w ago - SCEE's Ross McGrath of the PlayStation Store Team is here with this weeks European PSN updates today, as follows:

I hope you had a good start to the week and 'Blue Monday' didn't hit you too hard! It's Wednesday so we've got a Store update for you, including the kick off of the January sales.

Two fabulous new PSN games hit today (complete with trials) in the form of Spare Parts - the new robotic adventure from EA and Modern Combat: Domination, a Move-enabled FPS with compelling gameplay at a compelling price. If you've ever played a game of Counterstrike you'll be instantly at home with this one.

New minis hit as well, including the wildly popular Shift extended, the previously Plus-only Pipe Madness and Soccer Bashi.

Downloadable content? Well why not, eh? Trinity Universe, Tron: Evolution, R.U.S.E. and lots of extra bits and pieces for the newly released Mass Effect II - but don't get the Cerberus pack if you've purchased a version of the game with the extra content included in the box.

Also we've got another multiplayer update for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood which will cost you precisely nothing - isn't that nice?

127w ago - VUDU Head of Marketing Caitlin Spaan has announced today that the latest PS3 VUDU update adds stereoscopic 3D movie streaming for movie fans.

To quote: Hello fellow movie lovers, a quick note from VUDU. We're excited to announce that as of today we're ready to take you to a whole new dimension.

If you've got a 3D-enabled TV hooked up to your PS3, now you can stream in 3D directly from VUDU. So grab your 3D glasses and hang on!

If you've already downloaded the VUDU app, it will be updated automatically with the new functionality - you don't need to do a thing.

If you haven't downloaded the VUDU app - well, what are you waiting for? When you download the free VUDU app and sign up for a VUDU account, we will credit your account $5.99, which is enough to get you an HDX rental. We hope you'll give it a try - we think you'll love it!

We would love to hear what you think, or if you have any questions we'll be responding below! We also love compliments, so post all of those too :-)

127w ago - 2K Games Community Manager Ronnie Singh has announced news and a video today of a free NBA 2K11 Stereoscopic 3D update that will arrive on January 16, 2011.

To quote: For the few of you who have been holding out for a copy or have put your NBA 2K11 on the shelf for a couple weeks, I just wanted to give you heads-up about the upcoming game update.

Especially anyone who was lucky enough to pick up a stereoscopic 3D TV over the holidays.

For those of you who missed out on the 3D retail exclusive at Best Buy released back in November, this Sunday, January 16th, we will be offering a free title update to your NBA 2K11 game that will allow PlayStation 3 users, who have a 3D television and online connectivity, to experience NBA 2K11 in 3D!

Just pop your game in and it will update before the title screen. From there, you can turn on your TV's 3D capabilities, grab those awesome 3D glasses, and experience the NBA game you love with an extra layer of depth (an extra dimension even!) to what many have hailed as the deepest, most immersive, and best sports game of this generation.





Many have been lucky enough to play the Best Buy 3D exclusive extensively over the past couple of months. This has led to the question of what...
