PlayStation 3 owners in Europe will be happy to know that Idol Minds' PAIN will finally be released this Thursday on the PlayStation Network.

In addition, it seems that Sony will be making up for lost time (the game is already out in the U.S.) by releasing a few add-on packs as well.

In case you aren't too familiar with the game, players are given the task of causing as much damage to their characters as possible by launching themselves from a rubber band catapult. PAIN features a total of six different game modes such as Bowling, PAINdemonium, HORSE, and our personal favorite, Spank the Monkey.

No word on the game's pricing yet, though it is expected that the game should go for around £3.99 (around US$ 8).
