    We’re excited to introduce a new PlayStation Network event: PLAY. PLAY is a brand-new annual program, where we’re bringing you four of the season’s hottest PlayStation Network action titles. With every purchase of a PLAY title in the PlayStation Store throughout the duration of the program, you’ll receive a separate piece of DLC for each game, plus a new theme with every pre-order. If these incentives aren’t enough, if you’re 18 years or older and purchase all four PLAY titles in the PlayStation Store, you’ll get a voucher code for PAYDAY: The Heist as a bonus gift. And, PlayStation Plus subscribers will get an automatic 20% off every purchase.

    Pre-orders will be available for all four PLAY titles starting next week on August 9 in the PlayStation Store. Remember, in order to qualify to receive PAYDAY: The Heist as a bonus gift, your purchases must be made by September 19, 2011.

The game can also be pre-ordered separately starting September 20, 2011, and all pre-orders will receive a static theme. PAYDAY: The Heist will be $19.99.

      “Pressure Cooker” – Magnus ‘SoulEye’ Pålsson ($1.99)
      2 dollars? For a video game song? I just got VVVVVV today and I'm hooked, but I might not get the soundtrack on RB3 if it's this expensive.

                  It actually looks quite good. They're pushing the 60 FPS, they always build pretty large cities with good freeway construction, there's a first person POV camera, and it's pretty driving-heavy (obviously, just by the title... but you'd also think GTA was more about car-jacking). I just don't know if there's a free-roam aspect to it yet.

                  I don't have my PS3 this week, so I won't be able to check out the demo until later. Needless to say, if it allows use of the Logitech GT Driving Force, that would be another nice addition to this franchise as well.

                  Driver 2 was boss.
