The PC Store has been updated today with a nice selection of videos straight from Sony's E3 Press Conference. Along with the first third of the Press Conference itself, you'll find some montage videos showing upcoming PS3 and PSN games. Here's the full release list:
Yeah! It's E3! Time for a special E3 PC Store update! Check out all of these awesome trailers from the Sony Press Conference. Oh wait ... Yeah, it looks like SCEE wasn't informed about E3, but a new episode of Movement is available. That's kind of cool, right? We'd rather have a Resistance Retribution trailer. Here's the full release list:

It's an endearing feature to have, knowing you could have tons of movies and television shows at your finger tips. There's no need to go to the local video store (seriously, who does this anymore?) or even wait on those movies to arrive from mail-based rentals. However, we still have many questions regarding this new content for the PS Store.
We wonder if the PS Store is really ready to handle this kind of transaction and will it be easy to use? To help answer these questions, we gave the new video service a try and have presented a mini-walkthrough that'll hopefully give some insight into getting started with the new service.
Couldn't get enough of Sony's press conference? Then perhaps you'd like to download the trailers to most of the notable game that were on display today? You can download off the PC store trailers for PSP games like Resistance: Retribution, Buzz PSP, ... and, uh, that looks to be about it on that list down below. The rest appear to be all PS3 games. No matter. If for some reason you can't download the Resistance trailer, or just simply don't want to, you can always watch that very same trailer embedded above.

This week's PC Store update has only one item: a SOCOM Confrontation trailer. That's a trailer for a PS3 game, just in case you PSP-faithful haven't been following news regarding "the big one" out of Sony's gaming brands. That's pretty much it for this week. Hopefully with E3 coming, there will be more goodies in the following week(s).
Not a bad wee update today. Those of you who love mind-bending puzzles will no doubt enjoy Echochrome now that it's finally available for Europeans to purchase. If not, maybe you'll enjoy the second part of episode 1 of Movement. These 8 videos include live performances from a couple more French bands, plus some more of the hosts prancing around France. Here's the full release list:
Yeah, this is today's PC Store update post. Basically, there's nothing here but a single theme, entitled "Woodward." We have no idea what that could be referring to. Once the PC Store is updated, we'll be sure to take a look, but until then this is really all we can tell you. Hopefully it's something interesting, but let's be honest here - how much can one theme entertain us? We would've been happier with no store update at all. Perhaps we should be careful what we wish for ...
Music and 'extreme' nostalgia hit the European PC Store today. Space Invaders Extreme has been pretty well received, from what we've heard, and now you can try it out for yourselves. We'll have a review of the full game up at some point in the near future. The first episode of Sony Europe's made-for-PSN TV Show Movement is also available to download for free. This is made up of 8 episodes, including four live performances from two Parisian bands. Here's the full release list:
Just one new item added to the PC Store today. The original Pursuit Force for the PC is now available to download from both the PC Store and the PSN Store via PS3. Either way, you'll be paying £14.99 (or €19.99) for a classic title.
This comprises the entirety of today's PC Store update for Europe, so don't expect to see anything new going up later. As usual, the American update will be occuring later today, so stay tuned for that.
More Syphon Filter! But, thankfully, not justSyphon Filter. There's also the full game of Gurumin for the bargain price of $15. Pretty tasty, if you ask us. Sadly, there have been no updates to the European store today. Here's the full release list for America:
Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure ($14.99) (also downloadable via PS3)
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror (also downloadable via PS3)
We're starting to see a pattern with these PC updates recently. Almost all the content tends to have a common theme. This week the theme is Syphon Filter. Not a fan? Then you won't find much of interest in today's update. PS1 games are always nice to see, however. As for the nine free music tracks -- we find that very tasty. Here's the full release list:
Not a lot to see here today. SCEE has told us that, along with D2Comics' "interactive multimedia experience," The Cryptics, the store has also been updated with a trailer for Ape Quest as well as the game itself. To that, we ask "is it May 1st again?" We'll add it to the release list, to keep The Cryptics company. Plus, who knows -- maybe some of you forgot to pick up Ape Quest and need some gentle reminding that it exists. Here's the release list:
We hope you like SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 2, because if not then you're going to be very disappointed with today's update. There's the game itself, a trailer, two adverts, four wallpapers and five music tracks. That's a lot of content for a single game. Here's the full release list:
SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 2 ($15.99) (also downloadable via PS3)
Another pair of games hit the EU PC Store today, with very little else accompanying them. Killzone Liberation is certainly worth picking up, though whether you grab it from the Store or get it cheaper elsewhere, that's up to you. We'd like to see a bit more filler heading to the PC Store each week. Videos and themes always make the update seem that little bit more meatier. Here's the release list:
Do you like The Con? Have you heard of it? You will have done after reading this post, there's just no escaping it. Apart from the two Hot Shots demos and the super creepy Siren trailer, it's all about The Con. As well as the game itself, there are several videos available and even a wallpaper. Almost makes you want to buy it, doesn't it? Almost. Here's the full release list:
