This week’s US PlayStation Store update is crammed with discounted content, an assortment of add-ons for your favourite games as well as a couple of compelling new titles.

If you’ve been waiting for a significant price reduction on Borderlands before snapping it up, now is the perfect time to part with your cash and acquire this great co-op first-person shooter for $15. If you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber the deal is even sweeter as you’ll get all four DLC packs for free when you purchase the main game.

Mortal Kombat fans will no doubt want to check out the latest addition to the game’s character roster - Rain. Named after the Prince song “Purple Rain,” this bonus fighter is yours for $5.

Limbo is another highlight on this week’s list. Although it’s been out on Xbox LIVE Arcade for precisely a year, this atmospheric puzzle-platformer from Danish developer Playdead is a worthy addition to the PlayStation Network library and will also be making an appearance on Steam early next month. The PlayStation version will set you back $15 ($12 for PS Plus subscribers).

Be sure to browse through the complete list of this week’s content and price updates if you’re looking to line up some PSN purchases.
