The North American update has once again proven to be the upper echelon of updates week in and week out. Not only is the store updated with Fracture and Mercenaries 2 demos, but the Call of Duty 4 Map Pack has been reduced to only $4.99 this week. Of course Harmonix is continuing to punch out the Rock Band content at an alarming rate, which should leave fans of the franchise rocking out to the wee hours of the morning.

Price Promotion

Call of Duty 4 Map Pack 1-week price promotion @ $4.99 (from 9/18/ - 9/25)
Note from Infinity Ward: We’re kicking off a full week of promotions for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare this week, starting on Thursday, Sept. 18 at 2pm (PT). We’ll kick it off by dropping the price of the #1 Add-on DLC on PSN, the Variety Map Pack, to the price of $4.99 all week long. Four new maps – Creek, Broadcast, Killhouse, and Chinatown will be great new locations to rank up when we switch on the Double XP this weekend. Some of the IW crew will be jumping on Friday between Noon – 4pm (PT) to rank up and take on any open challenges from the community. Be sure to add our PSN IDs and drop us an invite if you see us online.

    So whenever there's a demo, the update is good.  Is that the consensus?  That's the vibe I get every week.

    I wonder why Sony has a PSP demo of NBA 09 and not the PS3 as well. It's not like I'm picking it up when it releases but I would've liked to try it out at least,

    @7maybe your country should get NASCAR and gun rights...then you'd be cool like us ;)  Also, have them invade an oil rich nation, then Sony will give you good games...right before your economy runs dry.

    I personally think alot of the updates are useless to me, I generally know a couple of months before a game comes out whether I want to buy it. I use to be really bothered about updates when I got my PS3 because I didn't have many games and wanted demos of games I hadn't got to keep me occupied and so I wasn't getting bored of Resistance:FOM as much but now there are alot of good games out and I have a nice collection so I don't care about updates too much, only when America get alot of decent updates and Europe do not.

    omg im sick of the gay Rock Band content. i mean Megadeth is alright, but wth, enough with the emo crap. i want more modern mainstream ROCK! about the onlything worthwhile out of all this to me looks like the Fracture demo, sadly.

    Fracture demo seems to be the only thing I'm interested in. Now if my cable would come back on(thanks to Ike), I'll be set.

    I liked the Fracture and Merceneries 2 demos.  Fracture had some really nice gameplay and visuals and Merc 2 was a lot of fun.  NBA....ehhh, sports game.  If I want to play basketball, I'll play basketball.  If I want to play football, I'll play football.  If I want to play boxing, or UFC...well, some things are a lot more fun in a video game than real life ;)
