According to data released by Sony Computer Entertainment America, downloads via the PlayStation Network increased to 7.9 million in January, 2008.
That's up from the 6.6 million the previous month, with Sony also stating that 52 million pieces of content have been downloaded from the PlayStation Store since it went live with the launch of the PlayStation 3 in the US.
The company now has 2.9 million registered PlayStation Network users in North America.
The figures come following the release of NPD data for January that showed the PS3 outsold Microsoft's Xbox 360, with 269,000 units sold compared to 230,000.
In a statement, Jack Tretton, CEO of SCEA offered: "Coming off a great holiday season we see strong momentum behind PS3 in 2008, and feel confident about the year ahead.
"We have Blu-ray emerging as the de-facto high-def standard, the developer community is hitting their stride, consumers are recognising the tremendous value and innovative services such as PlayStation Home are all in the works, so this is definitely shaping up to be a breakthrough year for us."

Today news has come out of dvdtown that Warner has not ruled out abandoning HD DVD completely. The report states that Warner will still produce and restock HD DVD movies if demand calls for it. This means big titles like Dark Knight, 10 000BC, etc will probably see HD DVD releases! Great news for us HD DVD fans, its not full on support like before, but you have to take what you get.

News from Dark Alex
Patch to load 3.71 fatmsmod in 3.80/3.90 M33
The purpose of this patch is to load the fat memory stick driver of 3.71 in 3.80/3.90 to make memory stick reading work better.
Instructions:
- Using psardumper get fatmsmod.prx from 3.71. It doesn't matter if it is decrypted, encrypted, etc
It is probably better idea that is encrypted because it is also compressed and use less flash space.
Copy it from /F0/kd/fatmsmod.prx to the root.
- Copy the FATMSPATCH to /PSP/GAME and run it. If the patch is successfull, you'll have 3.71 fatmsmod running in 3.80/3.90
This process flashes the fatmsmod.prx as flash0:/kd/fatms371.prx, it adds a custom file needed to compatibilize the module with 3.80/3.90 (fatms371_friend.prx),
and changes the pspbt* files.
Note: fatmsmod of 3.71 usually works better because it has a better cache system, and usually reads on bigger blocks.
(in some things is worse than 3.89/3.90 like sometimes reading more data than needed - lazy prediction -).
However it uses more kernel memory, and it is unknown if it will have any kind of secondary effect running this module in 3.80/3.90
The lags in np9660 no umd mode won't probably be solved, as that is a different problem.
Changes in v2:
- Added to the installer the check of correct checksum of fatmsmod.prx. Use only encrypted or decrypted version of file.
- Music, videos, etc now work.

Today's update to the PC store is probably the best since its launch. With two demos and an add-on pack, the PSP is finally getting some decent downloadable content. Here's the full release list:
WipEout Pulse "Icaras" add-on pack (£2.99/€3.99)
Fireteam Bravo 2 demo (free)
Patapon demo (free)
FFVII Crisis Core trailer (free)
Spiderwick movie trailer (free)
Looks like that February 21st prediction turned out to be wrong, as the Patapon demo has arrived in Europe a full week early - the same day as it is due to become available in the US. We love when that happens. As for the WipEout Pulse DLC, this is the second pack in as many weeks, as promised. Too bad there's only two more weeks of content left.

Updated release from Dragula96:
based off of the old Conway's Game of Life,
only with metroids
metroids live and die based on these simple rules:
--Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by loneliness.
--Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding.
--Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives, unchanged, to the next generation.
--Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours comes to life.
the eboot is not custom and shows lua player 20 :P, this should work on all custom firmwares, but was tested using a slim on 3.90 m33.

Many people are making plans to be with the ones they love on February 14th, but Sony's spreading a little digital love in the form of two highly anticipated demos. The PSN and PSP stores will receive a demo for MLB 08: The Show, SCEA's critically acclaimed baseball series. Players will be able to experience three innings between the Red Sox and the Rockies at Fenway Park during the day within the demo.
The PSP store will also receive a demo for Patapon, the funky rhythm game that pits diminutive creatures against strange beasts. The Patapon demo will feature seven levels of exploration, collection and dancing, which should provide more than an hour's worth of gameplay. These two demos will be downloadable with the other content within the PSN update

Sharp just introduced their latest, itty bitty blue laser. While maintaining the same 3.3-mm diameter of their previous package, Sharp's new GH04P25A4G semiconductor laser manages to boost the power to 250mW. That little trick should make 6x recording speeds to dual-layer BD media in laptops a reality. They've also announced a similarly speced 5.6-mm (GH04P25A2G) jobbie for desktops.

As you can see, we follow Atlus USA's requests to the letter. The quirky company has asked us to tell you lot about R-Type Command, "a bold new turn-based strategy entry in the long-celebrated series of side-scrolling shooters." Hitting the PlayStation Portable on May 6th, the game has players going up against the evil "Bydo Empire" in "exciting tactical gameplay!" The exclamation mark is theirs.
You'll have close to a hundred different upgradeable units at your command, including those hailing from the aforementioned Bydo Empire. Oh, and a little protip for those eager to engage in the wireless Ad-Hoc multiplayer: Make sure your underwater module with powerful anti-air missiles and torpedoes doesn't lose its resupply function! (That one was ours.)

For a brief moment this week, the PlayStation 3 site touted (via NeoGaf) the ability to "talk to others during gameplay." The ability to access the cross-media bar (XMB) and send messages in-game has been long at the top of our wish lists, especially given that Xbox Live users have long enjoyed that feature.
However, despite our longing an in-game XMB update still isn't on our systems. The PS site has since been updated, removing the tantalizing phrase. It was promised at CES 2008 to come out this year. Was it a goof in wording or a hint at a spicy GDC announcement? We'll know next week.

Finally, Michael Bay has stepped down from Cheese Mountain to pontificate on the finer points of the HD DVD vs. Blu-ray war. Speaking from the inner-sanctum of his lair -- located equidistant from the Church of Scientology and a gigantic cotton candy stand -- Mr. Bay reminds us that, "Blu-ray's better, and I told everyone," then goes on to further prop himself by adding, "I was very vocal about it. I knew HD [DVD] was not going to make it." We're glad that Bay can sleep at night, safe in the knowledge that the mere "quality" of the formats decided the winner of this battle, rather than massive business partnerships fueled by the desire for marketshare. He wrapped up his message (actually given at an awards ceremony held by the Visual Effects Society) by saying, "Am I thrilled? It really wasn't my fight, but remember what I said in the press? I was kind of saying HD [DVD]'s going to lose... No one believed me." He then slammed a trophy he was receiving to the floor, pointed to the packed room, and yelled, "In your face, HD DVD!"

Sony's been relatively mum on its Slingbox-like PlayTV add-on for the PlayStation 3 since it announced it last fall, but it's now finally starting to show it off for all to see and, thanks to the BBC's dot.life blog, we now have a pretty good idea of what European PS3 users can expect. As you can see in the video after the break, the PlayTV software appears to be straightforward enough, and includes the usual program guide, and options to pause and rewind live Freeview TV, as well as the ability to record one channel while watching another (thanks to the dual tuners in the device itself). Also on display is the PlayTV's ability to work with your PlayStation Portable via Remote Play, which'll let you watch live TV (or recorded programming) from anywhere with a WiFi connection. One of the few things it can't do, it seems, is record programming in the background while you're playing a game, although the developers are apparently "working hard" to add that feature. Still no word on a price or exact release date though, so you have a bit longer to be spared the inevitable bragging from your European friends.

It's those random moments that make Grand Theft Auto work so well. You know, when the unexpected happens, and everything just falls into place and works. What's random GTA IV moment has stood out for Rockstar honcho Dan Houser? He says:
There are so many defining moments, but a recent one was during a police chase. A song I love came on one of the radio stations while I had two cop cars chasing me through chinatown. I was speeding along when another cop car I hadn't seen rammed me straight on, our cars crunched together, and I was sent flying through the windshield. I ducked into cover and could still hear the song playing from my smashed-up car. Then the cops opened fire, but one of them hit a pedestrian who pulled out his gun and started shooting. The next thing I know, there was a full-scale war going on between a random gang and the cops. Within a few seconds all the cops were dead and the gang members walked away. I got hold of another car and quietly drove out of the search area to lose my wanted level.

According to the Blu-ray disc association European promotions committee, Blu-ray disc movie sales across Europe have eclipsed the 2 million barrier a mere two months after reaching the 1 million unit mark.
Blu-ray movie sales in Europe total 2.4 million according to the latest figures from Media Control Gfk International. 79 per cent of the high-definition movie discs bought in 2008 to date were on the Blu-ray format.
The biggest Christmas release was Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, with sales of nearly 100,000 units, joined by impressive sales for The Simpsons Movie and Casino Royale.
"DVD-Video was first introduced into Western Europe in 1997, and the following year some 230,000 DVD players were installed and 2 million discs were sold through," the BDA said.
"In comparison, Blu-ray Disc made its first tentative launch in Western Europe in 2006, and the following year some 3.2 million PlayStation 3 consoles and 34,000 standalone players were installed, while 2.3 million Blu-ray discs sold through."
"News from Warner Bros. at CES last month caught the headlines, but what this news proves is that the tipping point in the format war in Europe happened several months prior to CES and the tide has been running strongly in favor of Blu-ray Disc for many months," BDA European Promotions Committee chairman Frank Simonis told The Hollywood Reporter.
"Our challenge now is to move Blu-ray Disc into the mainstream."
