Rumored New PLAYSTATION® Store (US) Content for 8/14/08 [Update]
Written by stalkingsilence 
This week we should be seeing the (delayed) demos for 1942: Joint Strike and EA Sports’ Tiger Woods 09; maybe some Civilization Revolution content as well. But the most exciting new content has to be from Capcom. Not only do we get the PS3/PSP version of the PSone classic Street Fighter Alpha, we also get the demo and full game of Bionic Commando: Rearmed. Oh and of course it wouldn’t be a Thursday on the PSN without Rock Band DLC. [Update: Looks like there may be a demo for NHL 2K9 as well.]
Other content may be on its way as well but we wanted to get the news to you first! Check out the full release list below adapted from my thread at the PlayStation.com forums:

You could probably find that code on the net in some forum, try searching google. That’s the best way to add preorder unlockable codes you didn’t receive (worked for Burnout Paradise)

Uh… I’m pretty sure Bionic Commando Rearmed will be available for purchase as well as a Actually, the demo is already on the Japanese PSN store.

I noticed that LwP moved down to the future content section beyond the 28th. I would have thought that there would have been better news for that content.

August 13, 2008 at 9:53 pm

I thought that Star Wars the Force Unleased Demo was being released this thursday? Or maybe it was just sometime this month. I’m not sure but I was looking forward to that and Life with Playstation although I don’t know if that will come in a FW Upgrade or via the PSN Store. Well I can’t wait to see what is coming up next.
August 14, 2008 at 12:38 pm
screw 2k9, it will get spanked by NHL 2009 and their MMO gameplay online
interested in trying the 1942 demo..
August 14, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Star Wars: Force Unleashed is not coming this week according to LucasArts. It appears NHL 2K9 [demo] is coming. I’ll update the post & thread.
August 14, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Details on Tiger Woods 09 Demo: “Play the demo featuring 3 holes on the new course, Gary Player Country Club in South Africa. After playing you’ll receive custom feedback from Tiger’s very own personal performance coach, Hank Haney. Hank will provide you with custom drills to improve your Power, Accuracy, Short Game or Putting. You’ll also be able to go into the all new Club Tuner and maximize your swing by customizing you’re clubs.”

So…..what about those Hardware 2 screens?
August 14, 2008 at 4:36 pm
ah yes the weekly PSN rumor updates. with a 90% accuracy, id say the only item that might not make it will be NHL09. CAnt wait for some MEgadeath,Killswitch, and Bionic Commando.
August 14, 2008 at 6:09 pm
NHL 2K9 – not NHL09. NHL09 demo will be coming in a few weeks.
