Seems like some of the readers here need convincing to buy a PS3..but the price is just way too much!
Well, if you live in the UK, your lucky!
The lowest price been spotted at www.tgrav.com at just a mere £349.99! That’s £70 below retail price!
Hurry quick, this offer may not last soon!
And to add MORE fun, there is a new demo on the Playstation Network! And this time, it is the renowned Ninja Gaiden demo!
So hurry quick guys - get a PS3 and start downloading the fun for everyone!
It seems that the renowned Sony Studios boss, Phil Harrison, has started talking about the homebrew possibilities with the PS3 - positively!
Unlike the PSP, where the firmware updates were practically JUST to get homebrew off (and some little goodies here and there so that the good owners wouldn’t turn to the dark side) it seems Sony may want to embrace homebrew this time!
It seems that Sony wants to enable ‘home development’, and that “It’s a vital, crucial aspect of the future growth of our industry”.
And
“If we can make certain aspects of PS3 open to the independent game development community, we will do out industry a service by providing opportunities for the next generation of creative and technical talent.�
It seems that Harrison wants the PS3 to follow the Xbox 360 and its XNA Development Studio project.
Well..that’s pretty awesome!
PS3 also has linux, so some decent next-generation independent games may be on the horizon!
And maybe some good emulators too - the N64 emulator for the PSP is ‘just’ shaping up
The highly anticipated F.E.A.R for the Playstation 3 is now released!
F.E.A.R, First Encounter Assault Recon is a horror FPS game where you, with a strike team of ‘commandos’, have to find out what is happening at a technological center. It appears that another strike force took over and has not been heard since.
However, when you get there, things make an ugly twist - it seems there are psychological traumas where there is a little girl and everything is distorted. Things get creepier and creepier….but I shall let you find out
Anyway, it’s out! So if you are ready for a HD horror FPS game, it’s in stores now….;)
Hey guys!
Sorry for the recent lack of news updates, Playstation 3 doesn’t have news for now…lol
But I have also been busy with a LOT of things, so sorry!
Anyway, back on task:
Have you ever wondered, that maybe you want MORE with your PS3?
More videos.
More music.
More games.
More fun.
You can do all that with a larger hard drive, and what? It’s possible with the PS3!
Unlike Microsoft’s Xbox360 hard drive, which is so overpriced and is the only one working without hacks/mods, the Playstation 3 allows you to slap on a notebook hard drive in and start.
Of course, what if you were:
1. Lazy
2. Don’t know how to do it
Well then, the guys at PCN can help!
Seems like PCN, along with already making Custom PS3’s (custom paint jobs, I might add), they will also be able to add in custom hard drive disks! They have said, “We do not know which sizes of hard drive we will be offering at this point but the range is going to be from around 80GB to 250GB. ”
250 GB! Think of it…250 GB of videos, games, files, applications and music right in your living room, all ready for you to have fun with.
And I totally agree with this statement: “This means if you want a 160GB hard drive in your PS3 to make your friend who owns an Xbox 360 Elite down the street shut his trap, you can do that. ”
Hey guys!
Awesome Friday time! The Playstation 3 has been revealed to have Battlefield:Bad Company as one of it’s future games!
Battlefield:Bad Company (BF:BC) is the next in the Battlefield series.
BFBC is the next in the powerful Battlefield series, and is set to improve on many aspects. The most important, and of course, most significant, is it’s destructible environments technology! This is an awesome improvement, as it allows new ways of strategy and thinking in the battlefield. Tanks can now pulverise infantry hiding in buildings, but also likewise-infantry can carve a small hole to have a peekhole to shoot the enemy from. 90% destructible environments ensure battles are always exciting, fun, and keep you on the edge of your chair!
Many of the awesome systems from Battlefield 2 are also brought in- Squads, Weapons, and Ironsights too. Weapons will include modern and futuristic weapons, such as the now cancelled XM8. Squads, it now seems, will follow the BF2142 move - combining, and thus lowering the amount of soldier classes. BF2 had many classes, such as medic, spec-ops, assault, anti tank, sniper and support, and BF2142 just had four classes, with ‘Recon’ combining spec-ops with sniper, ‘Assault’ combining medic and assault and others.
Similar to the BF2142 unique character loadout system, BF:BC should include something like the customisation screen for your character. That would be excellent!
Ironsights were used in BF2, however, in BF:BC it’s use will be tremendously magnified. It will now cause you to fire in random directions, such as in real life, and also blur out surrounding objects and focus on the target to improve your player’s aim.
BF:BC also has a new, innovative mode that it’s past predecessors did not do well in- Single Player!
Battlefield Bad Company will now include a fully featured single player mode, having you take on a soldier in a squad of AWOL soldiers fighting for “gold, revenge, and whatever’s worth fighting for.”.
Multiplayer should stay the same as it was-the strong, intense firefights that even to today I enjoy. (I played BF2 today with 64 people with no vehicles! Just infantry combat…oh boy was IT intense!)
Persistant Character Ranks should come back, and that will be awesome if it does!
Battlefield: Bad Company is definitely a HOT item to buy for your PS3. Everything is now so good, you won’t know what’s better
Have fun now! Stay tuned for an SUPER Saturday post!
It seems that in 5 days time, on the 22nd of April, F.E.A.R for the Playstation 3 will come out!
Isn’t it exciting! F.E.A.R for the PC and Xbox360 was absolutely fantastic, and with the PS3’s high-definition visuals, it must indeed be more scarier and intense than ever before!
More news as it comes! And pictures also, definately
Playstation Home. What is it?
It is a virtual world, you may call it, on the Sony Playstation Network. It is similar to Second Life and some MMORPGs, where you have your own person (avatar) and you can do many things with it. You also have an apartment, where you can invite other people into your own apartment, and also add many improvements such as furniture. You can stream music or videos in your apartment, and these may be broadcast on virutal screens such as Sony Bravia TVs which you can put into your apartment. Pictures can also be shown, and placed in virtual picture frames.
As you saw in yesterday’s video of Playstation Home, you can do many other fun things, such as talk and socialise with other people, and also play games. You can play arcade games and also pool billiards, and in the future Sony will also install cinemas, where players will be able to watch and download new game trailers.
Live sport, concert and other events can also be broadcast in Home, and can be pre-paid using the Sony Wallet System.
Home will also host many fun events such as exclusive game previews and developer interviews. Though not yet confirmed, but these may also need to be paid for using the Sony Wallet System. Hope they don’t…
However, do not fret! It seems that users will also be able to make money in home, by using an auction service that will allow users to sell user-created content and their Home assests. This seems a lot like Second Life-you may indeed be able to make a fortune if you do it right!
It seems fun, doesn’t it! It is indeed a much richer online system than the Xbox 360, and continues to show how Sony and the Playstation series continues to dominate in providing luxurious high definition entertainment.
Playstation Home is slated for release in October, while all the time in between is for Beta tests, with a Closed beta (approx. 15 000 people) followed by an Open beta (approx. 50 000 people).
Want to join? Here’s the Home beta trial site, so check it often if you want to be a part of this magnificant experience.

Hey guys!
Today’s Sunday, and the start of an all new exciting week!
Well, here are some videos to briefly outline what I will be covering this week!
Fun indeed
Time for some exciting news
As with nearly all of Namco’s Time Crisis games, if not all, they were also put on Playstations along with arcade machines.
Guess what - it may be happening again, with Time Crisis 4 for the PS3!
Taking a visit to the online EB shops and what do you find? Product pages for “Time Crisis 4 with Guncon” for the Playstation 3 from Namco!
This is indeed great news! As along with all of the exciting Time Crisis series, Time Crisis 4 will definately be more graphically appealing and more fun! Trust me, if it’s fun in the arcades, it’s fun at home
Time Crisis 4 features many new enhancements, including multi-screen hiding, where as in the Playstation 1 Time Crisis game Time Crisis:Project Titan you shot arrows pointing on the screen to pick where your character would hide. In TC4, it seems all you need to do is just move your gun outside the screen, and your character will pan across. As with Time Crisis 3, it will also feature many weapons to choose from, and TC4 will make you use them more strategically.
Indeed, Time Crisis 4 is a definite HOT game to buy, so keep an eye on the lookout, as it will definately be worth your money.
Oh and for that game hint listed a few days ago - that was Time Crisis:Crisis Zone, which featured an arcade port to the PS2 where the player used a riot shield as cover and a submachine gun instead of the normal pistol. Despite it’s harsh and rash comments, I actually enjoyed it, and would love to play it.
For more detail on the listings on the EB online store, check here.
Here’s the prologue for you guys
