Worldwide PlayStation Store content (27th March)

Big This Week:

Gran Turismo 5: Prologue |  Unreal Tournament 3 Map Pack

Without doubt the biggest update to hit the store this week is Europe finally been able to get their hands on Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. Interestingly we are getting our hands on the game almost a full month ahead of the US, which is certainly a rarity as they will not see the game until mid-April. However, let’s not forget we are all a bit behind Japan who got there hands on the game in December of last year. Unfortunately, the game will be retail for £25/ €40 on the store, which is far from ideal for a download, and it gets even worse if you check out the likes of Play.com and Amazon who are offering the retail version of the game for £18 / €28.

Second on the list of importance would have to be the three new UT3 maps which have been made free to download in the US (Morbias, Facing Worlds and Searchlight).  Epic boast that Morbias is the deathmatch arena that “started it all.” Facing Worlds is yet another classic map, which will benefit snipers. Finally Searchlight offers some capture the flag opportunities.

There also a new GTA trailer in there, which is sure to send hype for that game even higher. The rest of the content released worldwide this week is as follows:
