Rock Band Weekly Update – November 6th Update
By Joe Haygood | November 6, 2009
This week, we have three bands releasing tracks on the Rock Band marketplace, including The White Strips, Kasabian and The Damned. The White Stripes make their debut in Rock Band with a three track song back, that includes “Dead Leaves and Dirty Ground”, “Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine” and “Icky Thump”. All but “Icky Thump” will be available in Lego Rock Band.
For those of you that have Rock Band Unplugged on the PSP will have two new tracks to add to their library. The first is “Excuse Me Mr.” from No Doubt and “I’m Shipping Up To Boston” by the Dropkick Murphys.
All tracks are 160 Microsoft points, 200 Wii points or $1.99 on PS3. The three White Strips tracks can be had in a package on the PS3 and 360 for $5.49 and 440 Microsoft points depending on platform.
Ones To Watch on PS3, PSP for November 2009
By Paul Munn | November 1, 2009
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.

Lexar Memory Stick Deals
By Paul Munn | October 21, 2009
Think your PSP-2000 or 3000 is perfectly fine compared to a Go? Got enough space in there for some tantalizing digital downloads? If you need more, check out a couple of deals on Memory Stick Pro Duo cards I saw over at DealNews. You can get a 4GB stick for $9.99 and an 8GB for $14.99 with $2.95 shipping additional on either of them at JR.com.
That’s a great deal for a whopping amount of storage. I’ve had a 4GB stick in my PSP for probably three years now and think that as more and more PSP games go download-only an 8GB will only be more useful.
New Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble PSP Screens
By Joe Haygood | October 13, 2009
Sometimes a game comes along that just catches you by the title. It may be good, it may be bad, but the name just makes you natually curious. Atlus USA is readying a new release that I had heard nothing about, but the name just screems, “Check me out!”. That title would be Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble.
I don’t know much, but it looks like Kenka Bancho is suppose to be a badass, and he is ready to rumble to catch a phrase. Check the jump for more pictures from the game, which can be found on PSP in November.
Angry at the PSP Go? Just Wait.
By Paul Munn | October 6, 2009
Reviewers are giving the Go some serious flak for what isn’t a surprise: the fact that you can’t use UMDs in it. This seems to be the number one crucial failing of the new handheld and it’s a deliberate design decision. ArsTechnica spells it out clearly, bashing the Go as a pro-Sony and anti-consumer device with a price point that’s “almost a sick joke” in this recession. It’s all about having one seller with no price competition from retail.
Hm, let me think, what else raised this kind of torch-and-pitchfork no-retail-competition gamer rage in the past? What was it? I’m having a hard time remembering now since everyone has since gone back to their homes and stoped raging against it since it’s considered a success. Oh yeah, it’s Steam!

UK retailers already dropping PSPgo price
By Adam Englebright | October 5, 2009
The PSPgo has been out for about four days, and… well, Eurogamer is reporting that UK retailers Amazon.co.uk, Play.com, and GAME have already dropped the price of Sony’s new handheld to £199.99, (or about $350). Other retailers have retained the original price, and Sony have announced an 120% sales increase in PSP’s overall, however, sales of the PSPgo only equalled PSP-3000 sales.
PSP ads in GMail compromising my ability to view my inbox
By Stephen Munn | October 5, 2009
If you use GMail, you’re familiar with the Google ads that appear just above the message controls. For the past few weeks, I’ve been struggling with the ads for PSP software that have been showing up here. For some reason, the letters “ffi” in “Official” are larger and fancier than the rest of the text. This pushes the line of text down slightly and makes it impossible to click the items below it, most importantly, the “Back to Inbox” text. Of course, I can still get to my Inbox using one of the other links on the page, like the column on the left, but this is still a pain in the ass. I’ve become used to clicking here, and every time I do so, I’m suddenly viewing Sony’s Gran Turismo for PSP website.
Maybe it’s the conspiracy theorist in me, but this almost seems as though it was planned. I wonder how many click-throughs Sony’s getting for this, entirely by accident. Is anyone else seeing this, or do I need to check my settings?
Ones to Watch on PS3, PSP for October 2009
By Paul Munn | October 1, 2009
Uncharted 2 is set to dominate the fall when it hits on October 13th, already earning numerous very high marks in reviews. The multiplayer demo, out now on the Store, is not to be missed. It’s drop dead gorgeous, the various modes are quite accessible and fun, and while I’m certain I’ll be decimated by anyone and everyone just a few short days after release in the competitive modes I’ll be able to fall back on some fun co-op modes when I want to take a break from the single player action. All that and it ships with a full recording tool for post-game review and posting your best matches online. But Nathan Drake’s sophomore outing isn’t the only high-profile title coming in October to the PlayStation pantheon.

Sony to UMD Owners: Go Soak
By Paul Munn | September 29, 2009
Back in June when Sony went on the record that they were planning on a way to get downloads of UMD titles you already owned for use on the PSP Go I took it with a grain of salt. “Hey, they’re trying,” I said, but like anything else until it’s a released product I have no faith in it being real. Lots of Sony initiatives have taught me to be skeptical, and the news that Sony won’t actually have such a program after all didn’t come as a shock. Too many rights issues, they hint, et cetera and so on. Instead, the nothing-to-sneeze-at 225 game catalog will be full retail.
Really, if they had wanted it to succeed they could have made it work, but I don’t think gamers would have gone for it in the end. That’s right, I blame the victim here. Why? Because you’re too cheap.
