Gravity Rush is a great game and gives you a great look at all the features the PS Vita offers. It’s one of the best looking PlayStation Vita games so far and the features it offers are very intuitive. A demo for the game was recently released, if you haven’t downloaded it go do it now. After you do so you’ll probably want to buy the game. When you buy it you should do so through the PlayStation Store and get it digital. When you do so you’ll get the “Military DLC Pack” for free. This is a brief one week promotion to celebrate the release of the game. Promotion runs from 6/12 – 6/19.

If you can’t manage to buy the game now don’t worry the “Military DLC Pack” will become available at a later time. But first there will be other DLC packs released. First up on June 26th is the Sky Pack. It will go for $3.999 and give you to the Spy Costume below, as well as two new Side Missions and two Challenge Missions to unlock. Then you can look forward to the Main Pack, it becomes available on July 10th. This one is also worth $3.99 and gives you the Main Costume below, along with two more Side Missions and Challenge Missions. Then if you missed out on the Military DLC Pack that I mentioned before you can get it on July 24th for $3.99, picture of the Military Sky Pack below.
