    Netflix Instant Streaming to Start Tomorrow On PS3

    By Joe Haygood | November 5, 2009

    netflixps3

    We all saw the announcement a week or so ago that mentioned Netflix Instant Streaming coming to PS3 sometime in November.  Well that time seems to be tomorrow, as I just received an email from Netflix stating that my Instant Streaming disc will be arriving tomorrow (November 6th).

    Anyone else receive their announcement email yet?  And are you surprised with how quickly this announcement went from press conference to reality.  I mean, it is Sony, not Apple.


    Happy Turok Child likes people to be patient

    By Joe Fourhman | November 2, 2009

    If you start rolling in Katamari Forever before the RoboKing’s done explaining one of the early levels, you get a seriously funny treat: he gets upset and keeps talking as you roll: “Hey… I wasn’t done talking to you… That was cold… So very cold. If you need me I’ll be over in a ditch.”

    Ones To Watch on PS3, PSP for November 2009

    By Paul Munn | November 1, 2009

    200911_PS_Exclusives_580px

    Ok here’s the thing: I don’t care about the huge military-themed, cross-platform shooter coming to the PS3 this month. It’ll get its spot of ink below, don’t worry, but I’m highlighting the three exclusive franchises returning to PlayStation platforms this month first.

    The God of War Collection lands on November 17th as a new experiment: a reissue of two PlayStation 2 games in high definition on a single Blu-ray PlayStation 3 disc. The remastering of the top-selling God Of War and God Of War II includes the addition of Trophy support. Sales of this collection will be watched closely – it takes quite a bit of work to remaster games like this, but if it sells well we might see other Sony PS2 franchises reappear like this on the PS3. I’m a huge fan of the franchise, partly because of the brutally satisfying gameplay, partly because of the mostly-consistent mythological backdrop, so this is a must-buy for me. Of note: this is a $40 game.

    The PlayStation Portable gets the PS3’s most recognizable mascot this month with its very own version of LittleBigPlanet. While you’ll be able to make and share your own levels in LBP on the PSP, you’re going to be playing them alone since multiplayer didn’t make it into this game. I’m being cheeky by mentioning this would be a $40 game as well since PSP games tend to debut at this price.

    Bayonetta Laid Bare by Japanese Public

    By Vikki Blake | November 1, 2009

    Bayonetta Laid Bare (Aeropause)

    To celebrate the release of SEGA’s Bayonetta in Japan this week, Tokyo commuters got to see the amazonian heroine laid out in all her glory by way of huuuuuuuge billboard postings spotted at Shinuya and Shinjuku stations. With only fliers posted to protect poor Bayonetta’s modesty, it was simply a waiting-game to see if and when the Japanese public stripped her down.

    Unsurprisingly, it took less than 24 hours.

    Hit the jump for release dates, import info and Bayonetta in all her kick-ass glory ….

    First thirty: The Beatles: Rock Band (PS3)

    By Stephen Munn | October 31, 2009

    Beatles SingStar?

    The Beatles: Rock Band is a pretty polarizing game. While nobody seems to see it as a bad game, the limitations on it that isolate it from the rest of the Rock Band product line have created some amount of frustration among those who’ve fallen for that Rock Band magic. Then, there are those of us who’ve never played Rock Band, have stopped playing Guitar Hero, and instead are hopelessly hooked on SingStar. This is where I fit in.

    You see, part of the appeal of The Beatles: Rock Band is you don’t need to buy the instruments if you don’t want to play them. If you have a pair of SingStar microphones, you’re totally set. You can play The Beatles: Rock Band like it’s a SingStar game, with some minor adjustments. Well, maybe not so minor. OK, so I’m still trying to get it to work exactly right, but I think it’s my own fault.

    Sony Rotates The Shield Harmonics On Trophy Data

    By Paul Munn | October 29, 2009

    trophies_with_borderWhen TripleTags closed up shop for good last week I felt bad about the great art those guys had put together for my “now playing” card, but I’d fallen out of habit updating my Trophy card there. Plus I’d signed up on GamerDNA.com’s site after hearing they were getting Trophy data from SCEA daily. And it worked, sort of, at least until this past week. It turns out that neither they nor Raptr can get Trophy data any longer, confirming my early suspicions that these sites weren’t authorized to get that data in the first place.

    This makes me want TripleTags back so I can have a really great-looking Trophy card again instead of the sad-looking one available on the PSN. So why did it go under? Site owner Joshua “SectionZ” Hernandez (a guest of the Aeropodcast) posted on Facebook that he didn’t have time to maintain it any longer now that his new game software company Metamoorephosis is off to a great start with purcussONE and bitFLIP.

    Will GamerDNA and Raptr get Trophy data back? I imagine they could continue to try and scrape it off of the site. I suspect this is what PlayFire is doing with the EU arm of Sony. But without an official connection it’ll be a losing battle.
