Talk Playstation 3 News

On the kojima pro website, there’s an image with an i, an addition symbol with the exclamation point. It equals out to a power symbol. What does it mean, we don’t know as of this point. Here’s the image.

Just to let all the people that are playing the Killzone 2 beta, it is due to end this Sunday. Guerrilla can use this valuable time to iron out more bugs and tweak the game.

No word on a playable demo though. Hopefully we will see one sometime before the game is released.

If you purchase a lot of Sony and Playstation products it might be a good idea to get yourself a Playstation Credit Card. If you get a Playstation credit card now you could save $150 on the purchase of a Playstation 3 this holiday season. here are a couple ways to do this. You can go to to www.sony.com/newpscard to get instant approval for your card, and an immediate $150 credit when you purchase a PS3 directly through the website.

Or you can go www.sony.com/getpscard to apply for the card and upon receipt of the card, use it at any authorized PlayStation retailer to purchase a PS3. The $150 credit will show up on your billing statement.

So what are you waiting for? I wonder what the interest is on one of these?

We are not sure if this is real or not but edepot.com have managed to get their hands on what could be the Playstation 4.

True or False?

Rumors that appeared on the Internet suggesting that Left 4 Dead would be coming to the Playstation 3 are now false.

Speaking to WonderWallWeb at a Microsoft event, Chet Faliszek of Valve said:

Many people say to us that they have heard rumours of Left4Dead coming to PS3, however despite telling them this isn’t true they still don’t believe us, what more can we say than it is not

That pretty much confirms that Left 4 Dead will not be coming to the Playstation 3. Resident Evil 5 will be better anyway.

Sony has confirmed that they have sold 2.43 million Playstation 3 units from July up to September 2008. This is up 86% from last years 1.31 million units.

How did the Playstation Portable do? Sony sold 3.18 million units of the handheld, last year they sold 2.58 million.

It looks like everything is on the up despite the credit crunch. I wonder what next years will be?

A rather interesting watch, these guys say that Grand Theft Auto V could be exclusive to the Playstation 3 in an attempt to strike back at Microsoft for having GTAIV DLC.

So you think you can make the best levels for LittleBigPlanet and probably get some money for it, think again. Seems Sony made some changes related to user generated content in their PSN terms of use(EULA).

The part that many have looked at with a frown is:

You also authorize us [Sony] and our affiliated companies, without payment to you, to license, sell and otherwise commercially exploit your User Material.

So in other words, if you make a level that is very popular Sony and/or any affiliated company will may use your content without paying you for it.

Sony has been speaking to PSU about their newest firmware update 2.50 regarding the new screen capturing feature.

There aren’t any games that support the screenshot capability just yet, but we know there’s a lot of excitement among PS3 owners for this feature and would expect developers to begin offering it moving forward,

Supporting titles will be announced in the future. I wonder what games support this already. Lets hope LittleBigPlanet does.

Stephen Totilo from MTV Multiplayer was glad enough to parade around with his LBP copy. Since were not that ‘Pro’ yet we’ll have to get our own copy on the games release date.

Reviewers are not allowed to voice their opinion until October 14th, but he was glad to give us an impression of the box(art). From (re)viewing the box he was able to read that the game will be in 720P, supports up to four players online and require a measly 600MB on your PS3.

There was one thing that could harm a reviewers view of the game if they didn’t manage to play it online. That is because the servers won’t be online until October 21st. So most of them will be stuck with playing the standard levels on there and/or creating their own levels and trying to remember how the online experience was (if they had any).

(Don’t take this article to serious as we don’t)

PSU was so kind enough to let their readers know which LittleBigPlanet bundles the gamers in Japan can expect.

You have the PS3 bundle that contains a 80-GB console and one controller (all Satin Silver). You’ll also be getting an extra controller and the LittleBigPlanet game.
For the people that already have a PS3 there are three DualShock 3 packs. Your probably thinking why three? Well each pack has a DualShock in it’s own colour. So if you have a Ceramic White PS3, you can get the Ceramic White DS3+LBP bundle. Same goes for your Piano Black and Satin Silver consoles.

Yes we know Europe doesn’t have some of these colours but these bundles are specially made for the Japanese market. There is no word if they will every cross the ocean.

Tough luck for people not living there, or am I wrong and will some of you try and order them?

For some of our readers who where worried and wondering if Gran Turismo would still be coming to the PSP, we have some news for you. Only it’s no release period/date.

Shuhei Yoshida said to Eurogamer.net that the game is still in development.
It seems Polyphony Digital is working on this project but because of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Gran Turismo 5, the PSP version got a backseat until they were properly done with the PS3 versions.

No doubt that Monster Encore is very popular as it keeps being downloaded from the store week after week. To encourage the sales and popularity of their latest game Eden, the team responsible for the PixelJunk series has cooked up a deal where you will receive the expansion of Monster Encore for free with the purchase of Eden.

The expansion holds 15 new levels (and a random level generator).

So if you want to make use of this deal, head over to the Playstation Store and buy Eden (don’t forget to try it out as well) cause the deal only lasts till October 16th.
