The new, improved PlayStation Store has finally been restocked after three weeks of inactivity. Just be warned that if you didn't rush out to install the firmware patch, you'll face a 30-minute or so delay before getting to the downloads:
- Gran Turismo 5 Prologue ($40) - a glorified demo with long-overdue 16-player online gaming and no resale value; buy it at retail if you can't wait until later this year for the full game
- Warhawk Broken Mirror Pack ($8, or $12 as a combo with the previously released Omega Dawn Pack) adds the Armored Personnel Carrier and the Vaporfield Glacier Battlefield
- Lair Dragons and Control Pack (free) adds two playable dragons, DualShock rumble and, best of all, the choice to ditch the Sixaxix controls in favor of the dual analog sticks
- Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online Update (free; online version only; must run the game to get it) adds Pickup Match Mode, DualShock rumble, improvements to online matchmaking and unspecified bug fixes
- Super Stardust HD Solo Upgrade Pack ($5) adds remixed visuals and music plus three new game modes: Endless, Survival and Time Attack
- Rock Band tracks delayed by the store freeze: "Still Alive" by Jonathon Coulton and GLaDOS (free); "Rock Rebellion" by Bang Camaro, "Shake" by Count Zero and "Sprode" by Freezepop ($1 each or $3 for the 3-pack); and "Call Me" by Blondie, "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd and "Message In A Bottle" by The Police ($2 each or $5.50 for the 3-pack)
