It's Thursday, so that must mean that it's time for the PlayStation Store update. But wait a second... Didn't I just do this story yesterday? And the day before? Well yeah, true to their word, Sony has kept up with the daily PS Store updates for the duration of this year's E3. One might take a look at the offerings and wonder if quantity is equal to quality, but no matter.

Not to sound repetitive, but there's not a whole lot going on. The biggest standout is Elefunk, a pachyderm-themed bridge-building puzzle game available for the amazingly low price of $4.99. And for all you PC owners who think that Sony don't care about you: you can also download the same press conference that you could have downloaded yesterday if only you had a PS3.

Anyway, who am I to judge? Here's the full update:
