Payday: The Heist update - we are close to being able to confirm the release date of Payday: The Heist and are just waiting for SOE to provide 100% confirmation, which we hope will be with us later today. SCEE and SOE are working hard to get the game in your hands as soon as possible; thank you for your patience.

Hello everybody and welcome to another addition of the PSN Store's 'Heads - Up.' With Halloween just round the corner we have our Halloween Sale starting this week, and below you'll fine some examples. There is loads of content for everyone to enjoy.

We also have lots of new content coming to the store this week; to start with we have the greatly anticipated Battlefield 3 (I have been waiting so long myself for this game.) This will be available from Friday 28th October at 00:01 GMT.

Today you will also be able to download Infamous - Festival Of Blood which is a stand-alone version of InFamous where vampires have swarmed into New Marais and Cole - the one person who can save the city - has been bitten. Cole now has one night to battle through the bloodsucking hordes and slay the head vampire; otherwise his soul will be lost forever. Sounds...

It's the final week of celebrating Only On PSN with the release of 2 exclusive PSN titles: inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood and PixelJunk SideScroller!

inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood delivers a darker adventure for Cole; complete with new powers, (did we mention he flies?) a new look for the city of New Marais, and access to the complete suite of User Generated Content tools. This downloadable inFAMOUS adventure is standalone and doesn't require you to have previous inFAMOUS titles to play it.

82w ago - Q-Games Ltd President and Executive Producer Dylan Cuthbert has announced today alongside a video that PixelJunk Sidescroller is coming to PSN on October 25th with details below.
