This week, one of the best racers arrives in a new downloadable bundle, alongside several new PSN games and the usual set of track packs.

Games

WipEout HD: Complete Collection: Coinciding with the retail release of iconic PlayStation racer, you can now grab the WipEout HD and the Fury expansion for £17.99. While it's not an entirely original content - the tracks are largely remakes from the PSP releases - the blistering gameplay remains completely intact. It's easily one of the best racers on the system, especially when you factor in the perfect (and optional) SixAxis controls and 1080p visuals.

Also available is Uno, finally migrating from Xbox Live (although at the higher price point of £7.99) and quirky RTS Mushroom Wars for £7.99, which has strong whiffs of both Fat Princess and PixelJunk Monsters. Finally, .detuned continues the PSN love affair with demo scene products, allowing you to create music and visuals with motion controls. Download it for £2.39.

Downloadable Content

Lumines Supernova Holiday Pack: As seen on Xbox Live, the Holiday DLC adds a variety of skins and visuals, including collaborations from individuals who worked on Rez and Every Extend Extra. Alone it's £1.59, and you can grab it with the Holiday Pack for £3.19.

Also available is a Space Quiz for Buzz! at £3.99, and more balls including a free Halloween Ball pack for High Velocity Blowing.

Track Packs

Rock Band: Download tracks for 99p each, or track packs for £2.49 each.

Brutal Legend Pack: 'More Than Meets The Eye' by Testament, 'The Metal' by Tenacious D' '(We Are) The Road Crew '08 (Live)' by Motorhead
Singles: 'Point Of Know Return (Live)' and 'Icarus - Borne On Wings Of Steel (Live)' by Kansas, 'Andres' by L7, 'Surfing With The Alien' and 'Satch Boogie' by Joe Satriani, 'What's My Age Again?' by Blink 182, 'Show Me The Eay' by Black Tide

Guitar Hero 5: Singles are £1.59 each, while the track pack is £4.39.

Wolfmother Track Pack: 'California Queen', 'Cosmic Egg', 'Pilgrim'

PSP Downloads

Despite the overwhelming quantity of downloadable PSP releases in previous weeks, there are only two new games available today. Cover Girl is an 'erotic anime' release for £23.99, while on the Minis service, popular flash game Yeti Sports Pengu Throw can be downloaded for £2.49.

There are also two tracks for Rock Band Unplugged for 99p each: 'Headknocker' by Foreigner and 'Jeremy' by Pearl Jam.
