On PlayStation Network today: Metal Gear Online beta and Gran Turismo 5: Prologue downloads

Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) announced what new PlayStation Network downloadable games, expansions, demos and videos were released for PlayStation 3 today. If the list seems short, that’s because last Tuesday’s PS3 Store update added a bunch of new content along with the store redesign that’s included in the PS3 Firmware update version 2.30.
