Because the adventures of Frank Castle, better known as The Punisher, is this week's new playable addition to the PlayStation Store. Not a bad way to start the holiday weekend, but PSP owners get the better end of the deal.

That's because a trio of new downloadable PSP games have been added to the store: Capcom Classics Collection Remixed, Mind Quiz, and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Essentials. If you're looking to expand on games you already own, the "Sacktue of Liberty" costume and "Monarch Signature Livery Pack" should liven up your copy of LittleBigPlanet and MotorStorm Pacific Rift, respectively.

Other exciting new North American PlayStation Store debuts await you after this.
