Sony America VP of marketing, Scott Steinberg, admits in an extensive interview with GameDaily that the company underestimated the demand for the 80GB PS3. He says the $100 extra for the 80GB model at $499 didn't seem "that big of a deal" to certain consumers. Beyond the price and obvious drive space difference, the 80GB enjoys backwards compatibility with many PS2 games, which the 40GB does not.
Steinberg states Sony is replenishing the marketplace with the 80GB model and expects to see "mass market appeal" from the upcoming $500 Metal Gear Solid bundle. At a minimum, expect one significant change in future PS3 models with the Sixaxis being tossed out and the DualShock 3 becoming the new hotness.

According to a recent poll by research firm Interpret, 60% of the U.S. is "aware" of Blu-ray. So does this actually mean anything? We're not so sure. While brand recognition is important, it doesn't appear that Interpret asked those polled to interpret what the hell Blu-ray really meant. Our guess is that if you asked the public some basic questions (Can Blu-ray players play normal DVDs? Will Blu-ray play on a standard def TV? What new features does Blu-ray bring?) that the 60% statistic would drop abruptly. Why doesn't Sony just run a simple commercial Q&A? We don't need hip marketing. We just need a clear explanation.

After receiving the official announcement regarding the PlayStation Store's impending redesign, one of the first questions asked was "will we still be able to access the PlayStation Store for other regions besides our own".
Our friendly SCEA rep "confirmed that no changes to the store will be made as part of this revamp relating to region locking". So like before, those users with multiple master accounts corresponding to different regions will indeed not be locked out of those PlayStation Stores.

News/release from Silmarilion
Hi there,
I´m here to release a new version of my music player GameMusicGear.
This is just a Release Candidate, so if you find some bug it would be
really nice if you can let me know at gama.coder@gmail.com and i will try
to fix it.
The app right know only supports a few formats, since i have to port
them to the new plugin system . But i'm working on it, and i will try to release new plugins in the future.
Well for those who dont read READMEs, this are some of the features of
the app:
> The app uses a new plugin system. There are three types of
plugins. Input Plugins for audio decoding (like mp3 plugin,
spc plugin, etc), Output Plugins to encode audio to another
format (currently wav and mp3 encoders are available), and
the Visual Plugins for music visualization, lyrics display
(in the future), etc. Very similar to the winamp plugins.
Each plugin consist of a config file (.plugin) and a module
file (.prx). And can be replaced or removed if you want to
upgrade or disable a plugin.
> Skin Support - There are two skins available right now, a new
simple skin, and the nice old skin made by rockMax.
> Mini Visualizer - There are two mini visualizers available, spectrum
and wave, inspired by the ones found in winamp.
> Chinnese GBK, BMP and TrueType font support, with LATIN and UTF8 support.
> Zip and Rar files support.
> In game configuration screen.
> Control keys configuration - You can configure it through the
config menu, or you can do it manually editing the 'keys' file.

Haze script writer Rob Yescombe has dismissed all speculation that Haze would become anything but a PlayStation 3 exclusive, running contrary to earlier reports by Ubisoft that Haze was a PS3 exclusive just "for now".
"Those other versions aren't being worked upon," Yescombe responded when queried about the possibility of future PC and Xbox 360 versions.
"It's PS3 exclusive," he added.
Yescombe also stated that he wasn't worried about the limitations of a single-platform release and the size of PS3's install base.
"Now they've [gamers] got a reason to buy a PlayStation 3, haven't they?" he said. "I would hope that Haze would motivate people to decide what console they would want to get."
Look for the full interview in the next couple of days on CVG.

Sony's innovative brain breaker, Echochrome, will only be available as a download on the PS Store via PSN.
Unlike in Japan, where players can purchase the game either through PSN or on a UMD for PSP, the US version of the game will not see a release on UMD.
"It'll be coming to North America via the PlayStation Network store only - i.e. not brick and mortar retail - with its own unique 56 levels," reports Newsweek.
The game looks brilliant, and if you've taken the time to make yourself a Japanese PSN account you can actually download an English-speaking demo from the Japanese PS Store via PS3.

Chart from TG Daily
The average price of Samsung’s BP-P1400 has risen from $319 to £339 since the beginning of the year. Sony’s BDP S-300 is up from $307 to $404. The Sharp BD-H20U is up from $386 to $400. Panasonic’s DMP-BDM30K is up from $401 to $536.
Prices for Blu-ray players had been dropping through the latter half of 2007, as the battle with HD-DVD raged. Now though, increased consumer demand has put an end to price-cutting. In contrast, HD-DVD players are now selling for little more than $100.
The report comes from TG Daily, which included a warning, suggesting that prices would come down again, “Again, although Blu-ray has been declared the winner, it is right now about the worst time to invest in a standalone Blu-ray player.”
All this is great news for PS3, showing not only consumer demand for Blu-ray, but also highlighting that the games console option is good value in comparison to standalone players.

Hi guys, this is a new little plugin for your PSP 
Its aim is to set PSP date to 2 Apr every time you boot the console :tup:
I know it is not very usefull, but some people asked me for it (or "asked it to me"? :S Sorry for my bad english  ) and, because it did not take me much time, I decided to make them happy xD
Note: plugin changes ONLY the day and the month, so time and year are precise 
From README.txt attached:
M33xEver by Red Squirrel
http://redsquirrel.forumitalian. com
---------------------------------------------------
What's it?
It's a simple VSH plugin that sets the date of your PSP to 02/04 every time you boot the console!
In this way you can maintain waves and system info of the M33 "birthday surprise" (but only in CF3.90M33-3).
How to install
Copy the SEPLUGINS folder in the ROOT of Memory Stick and activate the plugin from Recovery Menù.
Thanks
To all people that ask me it.
To Adrahil for timelib.
To my girlfriend for her patience.
And naturally to D.A. for "M33 birthday surprise"...

It may have taken more than a little time for Polyphony to warm to the idea, but Gran Turismo head Kazunori Yamauchi has confirmed that the series is finally going to be implementing damage, saying it could be included as a downloadable feature for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue as early as this Autumn.
In an interview with IGN earlier today, Yamauchi said that, "maybe by Fall we'll be able to implement it," before confirming that it would feature as a download for Prologue, which launched in the UK and across Europe last week. Gran Turismo has long been famed for its refusal to include any vehicle deformation, despite heightening demands from its fan-base, and any inclusion of the feature would be a massive boon for the series.
We'll have the full interview tomorrow, including Yamauchi's verdict on working on a Formula 1 title in the future, so check back for further details.

It's about time the rest of us got to take a look inside Sony's Home. We might not even wipe our feet properly, we've been made to wait that long. But the closed beta phase now looks like it's coming to an end and we might actually get a turn with the open beta.
Speaking in the latest issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine, the senior director of the PlayStation Network is quoted as saying: "We'll be opening up Home beta to the public very soon and hope to see you there."
We wish we had more than that, but we don't. We'll get on the blower to Sony as soon as it gets to work but we know we'll only get something along the lines of "we haven't announced our plans for the Home open beta yet." And we'll say something like, "we know, that's why we're calling." It never works though...
But you never know, it can't be too far off now can it? Can it?

It's not exactly "news" that the Nintendo Wii is a huge hit. It's also not news that the Wii has been popular because of its motion-sensitive controls, which has inspired Nintendo to announce the Wii Fit "balance board" for future aerobic and snowboarding/skateboarding games. Well, PS2 owners are about to get a Wii-like boost, as a company called Qmotions is set to release the XBoard, which promises the same motion-sensing action as the Wii Fit board, but for the PlayStation 2. The Qmotions XBoard has the potential to be a monstrous hit for PS2 owners (see it in action in this video), so DailyGame is giving away four of them (retail $99.99 each) in this awesome contest.
To win one of these four PS2 XBoard peripherals (again, they retail for $99.99 each), simply complete and submit the entry form below through the deadline of 11:59pm PST on May 4, 2008. This daily entry contest is open worldwide to anyone 18 years old or older. Winners will be chosen at random and notified via e-mail, so make sure you leave us a valid email address. And remember: your odds of winning are greatly increased by returning each day to enter again, and/or by entering multiple times using multiple email addresses. Good luck!

Are you looking forward to the launch of Konami's concluding stealth masterpiece, Metal Gear Solid 4, on June 12? You should be, and here are 23 screens to get your stealth-cravings teeming.
You've go just over two months now to rush through the previous three games, and try to make sense of the bonkers plot, before the now grey-haired Snake will be with us in his open-world sneak off.
The final game will launch with a taster portion of the brilliant Metal Gear Online included, a preview of which you can read here.

Hideo Kojima has said Metal Gear Solid 4 might not necessarily be the last instalment in the series.
Apparently he's implied it will be the final game to avoid being press-ganged into developing more but it could live on, as a game or as a novel or comic.
"PR-wise, I really don't want to say that this the final game or this is the wrap up, but if I don't say it, people will make me create MGS again," Kojima told IGN.
"So I have to say, 'Die, Snake,' and really end it so I can move on to something else! Actually, it's a game, so even if Snake dies, the game can live on. We have to kill him at a certain point."
There is always the possibility that the series may be expanded onto the PSP as well. Kojima has a son who hates the console versions of Metal Gear Solid, but loved Portable Ops, and the opportunity to target this "very important and new" 13 to 15 year-old market is something Kojima is excited about.
However, he admitted he was getting to the stage where he had been trying to "pass the baton" to the younger members of his team, although being a stickler for perfection in all areas made it difficult to let go of.
Still, when Kojima does finally put Metal Gear Solid to bed, he'd like to try something different.
"Finally, it's the end of Snake, so I'd really want to start something really fresh and new when I create the game for the next one. Maybe the sequel to ZOE or a remake of Snatcher, for instance - if I just participate as a producer, yeah, that could be possible."
What would you like to see Hideo Kojima make next, Eurogamer reader?
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is due for release on 12th June.

Sony Corporation has underlined its intention to further cut production costs of its goods and fulfil more orders in an attempt to offset the reductions in export profits caused by the strengthening yen.
The current economic conditions, which have seen the yen make significant gains on the dollar in the past year, could impact the company's ability to offer any further price cuts on the PlayStation 3 in the foreseeable future - a move which spurred significant sales in the final quarter of 2007.
"As to the situation of the US dollar's weakness in the medium to long term, we already have a strategy to deal with it," said Ryoji Chubachi, Sony president, according to MSN Money.
"We will lower our production costs as possible as we can and we will choose production sites to cope with the industry's weakness, and in the short term, we will try to accept more orders."
For every JPY 1 gain versus the US dollar, Sony loses around JPY 6 billion (USD 58.3 million / EUR 37.5 million). In the past year the yen has moved from an exchange rate of 111 to the US dollar, to 102.5 - representing a loss of around JPY 51 billion (USD 496 million / EUR 318 million) for Sony.
