Following yesterday's announcement from Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA), Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has announced the specific date of April 15, 2008 for the newly designed PLAYSTATION Store. A couple days later, on Thursday April 17th, plenty of new downloadable content will hit the PLAYSTATION Store.

From SCEE: "To accompany the launch, the PLAYSTATION Store will see an exciting selection of content available from 17th April, consisting of the launch of the Metal Gear Online Premiere Beta, building up to the launch of the next chapter in one of PlayStation’s most loved franchises, Metal Gear Solid: Guns of the Patriots. Also available will be Warhawk: Operation Broken Mirror, a great new addition to the hugely popular Warhawk experience and Lair: Diabolical Dragons Pack and Skyguard Upgrade pack, offering new and exciting features and functions. There will also be a collection of trailers including the latest for GTA IV, as well as a Sega Superstars tennis demo."

North America will likely have the same release date and downloadable content for the Metal Gear Online Beta (code needed), Warhawk: Operation Broken Mirror and don't forget Gran Turismo: 5 Prologue.
