Rhythm fans rejoice: Patapon will be storming shores wearing a less-than-$20 price tag.
In a holiday post yesterday on the PlayStation Blog, Sony's Director of Software Marketing Jeff Reese broke the news that Patapon, a 2D rhythm-based game where you lead the Patapon tribe into battle, will ship for $19.99.
"As you can see, Patapon is really different and highly creative, a new kind of PSP experience we don't want anyone to miss," Reese wrote. "It's a game that shouldn't get lost with some other big titles launching on the platform. It deserves your attention because it's very cool."

A new PS3 custom theme maker from an unofficial developer has bettered the official theme-making software because it allows you to change the sounds effects for your theme.
Official themes made downloadable from the PSN Store, like the Heavenly Sword theme, feature different icon sounds, which showed that such a change is possible. Yet Sony's official custom theme maker doesn't allow you to change sounds at all.
You can download the new theme maker for free from its official site, then you can proceed in recording fart noises for your new PS3 'beans theme'.
P.S - if you DO actually make a 'beans theme' with fart noises, send it to us (via Mike Jackson). That would be funny.

Sony Corp., the world's largest video-game console maker, sold a record number of PlayStation 3 machines in Europe during the holiday shopping season after lowering prices to compete against Nintendo Co.'s Wii.
Sony, which began selling PlayStation 3s in Europe in March, shipped about 1.2 million consoles in the region during the five- week period ended Dec. 31, Kazuo Hirai, president of Sony's game division, said in a Bloomberg Television interview aired today. That's in line with U.S. shipments during the period, he said.
Price cuts and the introduction of a cheaper model helped Sony approach its goal of selling 11 million PlayStation 3s in the year ending March. Still, analysts at Nikko Citigroup Ltd. and Daiwa Institute of Research Ltd. predict the Tokyo-based company will miss the target after being outsold by the Wii and Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360.
Sony, which generated 12 percent of revenue from the game unit during the three months ended Sept. 30, has posted seven straight quarters of losses at the division.
Higher sales, coupled with lower production costs, will reduce the company's operating losses related to PlayStation 3s by 90 percent to $158 million in the fiscal second half ending March 31, according to Dec. 27 estimates by Nikko Citigroup.

There's a rumor that began circulating on the CheapAssGamer forum stating that the PlayStation 3 would be seeing a price-drop soon. Certain other members chimed in with their own "knowledge" and vouched for the rumor. The alleged details are a price-drop for the 40GB PlayStation 3 down to $299, which will occur on January 28th.
Now before you get all excited, do note that the chances of this being real are extremely thin. Seeing as how Sony only recently dropped the price of the PlayStation 3, I wouldn't expect them to do so again.

It has endured a horrible introduction to the world, but PlayStation 3 has survived. Now it's set to prosper. Next-Gen's editor-in-chief Colin Campbell explains...
* The decision to go with Blu-ray was good because Blu-ray is going to emerge as the winning platform in the war against HD-DVD. It was good because millions of people will be upgrading to hi-def over the next five years. It was good because a significant percentage of them will make PS3 a central part of that upgrade process.
* Up until this point, Xbox 360 has represented the best value. No longer. PS3 is $50 more expensive than Xbox 360 but you get a bigger hard drive, you get a Blu-ray drive and you get to play online for free. It is becoming extremely difficult to argue the case that Xbox 360 is better value than PS3.
* For many people, it looks like a tres-moderne piece of under-the-telly technology. And, what‘s more, it carries the Sony logo and the PlayStation logo. For those of us entrenched in the biz, both these brands carry baggage. But for them out there - the Year 3 Console Adopters, the people who bought a DVD player after the Millennium - these are brands to trust. They speak of sophistication and quality.
* Will PlayStation Home make a difference? When I saw it a year ago, I was convinced that this piece of software would play a major role in the console wars. I still believe it has a touch of genius, the common touch, to take virtual living out of the machismo ghettoes of Xbox Live or the vacant loonyness of Second Life. If it works, it's an amazing thing.
This hardware cycle has confounded most of what we thought we knew about the console games market. We used to believe that there would always be an ultra-dominant console and a distant second-place. We used to believe that third place was no-where. It was once a central belief that games consoles ought not try and be something else; that convergent devices were anathema.
Those things don't seem to hold any longer. All three console manufacturers are in a strong position to take a win from this generation; simultaneously.

via Computer and Video Games
A new advert for the PS3's PlayStation Network has appeared online and it seems to be taking a slight dig at Microsoft's subscription-based Xbox Live model.
"The fun's always free" is the tagline for the ad, pointing out that it costs PlayStation 3 owners precisely bugger all to download content and play online, where as paying Xbox Live Gold subscribers cough up £40 for the same privileges.
Of course you could also argue (and we will) that Xbox Live Marketplace is a superior service to the PlayStation Store (what's with the month-late PS3 demos?) and integrated friend lists also give XBL the edge. But is it really worth the full cost of a game?
If anything, it's great to see that Sony's finally pushing one of the PS3's greatest selling points. If the public starts taking notice of the PS3's online service it can only mean good things for us, and hopefully less wallet pain on the Xbox 360 end too.
Let's just hope Sony doesn't turn round some time this year and start charging for PSN. That would make them look a little silly...

via Eurogamer
Sony has declared PlayStation 3 had a bumper Christmas in Europe, with more consoles sold over a five-week period than ever before.
The company reckons 1.2 million PS3s were shifted in total. According to big king chief man Kaz Hirai, that figure is in line with high US sales during December.
Speaking to Bloomberg, Hirai said Sony would continue to ramp up support for its shiny black box. "We want to promote games only available for PlayStation 3," he said. "The introduction of the 40 gigabyte model is in line with that strategy."
According to analysts, Sony is unlikely to meet its target of 11 million PS3 units shipped by the end of March. A figure of 8 million is more likely, apparently. But Kaz sounds very relaxed about everything.
"We haven't made any conclusion whether we have to give it up," he stated. "It depends on how aggressively dealers buy our PS3 inventory."

A fresh port by me (MK2k), this time: Jump 'n Bump 1.51a for the PSP.
Game Info
This is a game for the whole family. You are cute fluffy little bunnies
and hop on the other bunnies' heads.
At the beginning you are in the menu, where you have to jump
over the tree trunk if you want to play and walk right.
Then you'll enter the arena. The aim is to jump on the
other bunnies' heads...
PSP Controls
Use the following Buttons on the PSP to have a 2-Player match:
Analog/D-Pad Left : P1 Left
Analog/D-Pad Right: P1 Right
Analog/D-Pad Up : P1 Jump
Square : P2 Left
Circle : P2 Right
Triangle : P2 Jump
Select: End the game and display statistics
The following Key Combinations enable special Cheat Modes:
START + D-Pad Up : Pogostick (continuously jumping bunnies)
START + D-Pad Right: Bunnies in Space (Bunnies can jump higher)
START + D-Pad Down : Jetpack
START + D-Pad Left : Lord of the Flies (Flies are following the Bunnies)
START + LTrigger : Blood is thicker than water
For the PSP it is not bad to enable the Pogostick mode, so only 2 Buttons are
necessary to be used by both players.
PSP Installation
This game is 1.50 Kernel.
Original 1.50 Firmware users should copy the content of the directory
FW150/MSROOT to their memorystick.
Custom Firmware users should copy the content of the directory FW3xx/MSROOT to
their memorystick.

While no official announcement has been made, a recent PlayStation Underground e-mail (pictured left) from Sony confirms the oft-rumored PlayStation 2 port of High Impact Games' Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters (PSP).
According to the e-mail, the port will hit stores in March, about a year after the title debuted on PSP. Size Matters marked the first Ratchet & Clank title to be developed outside of Insomniac Games, which created the franchise.
It also marked the first title for High Impact Games, the staff of which includes several ex-Insomniac employees as well as veterans from Jak & Daxter developer Naughty Dog. The studio is currently working on another portable Ratchet & Clank title, Secret Agent Clank (PSP).
PSP to PS2 ports have been all the rage these days, and rumors of marquee PSP releases making the leap to the PS2 are frequently tossed around. Fortunately for Ratchet and Clank fans, this one turned out to be true. Expect an official announcement from SCEA in the near future.

The Good Bookr is a Bible reader for the Sony PSP, based on the open source Bookr ebook reader.
Unlike other Bible releases for the PSP, The Good Bookr is a standalone compiled program, not a set of images or web pages. This is because a major goal of The Good Bookr is to provide a robust search interface which lends itself to Bible study.
The Good Bookr uses SQLite to store, search, and retrieve Bible texts. It also uses Danzeff OSK for the search interface.
Features
Load a specific book, from Genesis to Revelation.
Search by keyword, chapter, or verse.
Bookmark individual chapters and verses.
Navigate via book and chapter.
Configurable controls.
Select font face and font size.
Customize font and background colors.
Rotate the text to read vertically.
Controls
Most of the controls are configurable. These are the defaults:
Triangle - Open search menu
Square - Previous chapter
Circle - Next chapter
Left Trigger - Previous book
Right Trigger - Next book
Up/Down - Scroll one line
Left/Right - Scroll ten lines
Select - Open bookmarks/options
Start - Open main menu
Changelog
v1.1
Search by book, chapter, or verse, with support for book abbreviations.
Search history (similar to command line history.)
Option to search entire Bible (can be slow, use accordingly.)
Danzeff numeric pad modified to make searching for verses easier.
Single search result opens directly instead of opening search menu.

New from SuccessHK
Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios, JAPAN Studio, THE EYE OF JUDGMENT presents a new style of gameplay where collectible trading cards, embedded with a CyberCode, are brought to life in the 3D game through use of the innovative "9 Fields" battle mat and PLAYSTATION Eye. Players compete by selecting a card and placing the coded card in front of the PLAYSTATION Eye for their respective creatures to come to life and battle on screen. Players take turns placing cards as they jostle for control; the winner is the first player to conquer five of the nine squares of the "9 Fields" battle mat. The gamers task is to conquer the board by deploying their cards more skillfully than their opponent.

Although Japan Today doesn't realize that Blu-ray discs aren't DVDs, they do have some interesting stats that shed some light on why Warner might have chose to go BD exclusive. The report is from a study of 2,300 Japaneese electronic retailers, and shows that 90-percent of HD movie player sales -- not counting the PS3 -- were owned by Blu-ray. The other interesting thing to note is that although Americans couldn't care less about recording to shiny round discs, the Japanese continue to love it, and HD disc recorder sales were up to 20-percent in November and December from 6.1-percent in October. Leading the way in recorder sales was Sony, followed by Panasonic and Sharp.

Dark Alex is back with a new version of the Universal Unbricker and Custom Firmware Installer for the PSP
Changes in version 4
- - Installer now checks if user has a custom theme installed, and ask him to disable it before running the program.
- - the PSN DRM file in flash2 (act.dat) is now backuped during ms creation and restored in the unbrick.
- - flash2 is now formatted too.
- - Now installs 3.80 M33-5 instead of 3.71 M33-3.
Installation:
- If you have already a pandora ms, don't do this part. Otherwise,
format an ms using c+d mspformat or any other tool that allows to move
partition to ~250kb from first sector
Remove ms, usb and connect again usb and ms.
Make PSP and PSP/GAME dirs.
- - Copy despertar_cementerio to PSP/GAME/
- - Download 1.50, 3.40 and 3.80 update eboots and copy them to ms root with
150.PBP, 340.PBP and 380.PBP names. - - If you have a PTF custom theme set, quit it before running the program.
- - Use the app under a cfw with 2.x or 3.x kernel (be sure that kernel is
selected on recovery to the correct one (2.x or 3.x)) - - Once finished, u will have msipl.bin on root. If you already have a pandora
ms, you don't have to do this step (ipl doesn't changes lol), otherwise,
use c+d msinst to install ipl on ms; or use dd command from unix, or any
hex-edit program to write on sector 16 on the physical drive. - - Now you can delete 340 and 150 PBP's, as they won't be used more; but 380.PBP
will be used for unbricker, so don't delete it. - - Now you have an universal pandora ms ready to go, and you just need a proper
battery. If you have 1.50 kernel access, use c+d tool. Otherwise, use corly149 tool.
Battery and ms will work on all psp and slims to this date.
Unbricking:
- - Press X to install 3.80M33.
- - Press O to install original 3.80
- - Press [] to dump nand to nand-dump.bin. When done, psp will auto shutdown.
- - Press L+R+HOME+start to restore nand from nand-dump.bin
This proccess is very dangerous, and you should *just* use it if it's your
last chance to get it working.
This is a physical restore process (not a logical one), and will try to make
a 100% exact clon of the dump.
If you are working with a dump that isn't yours, you will get either a brick
or a corrupt idstorage, depending on the firmware.
If while you are restoring your psp have got any damaged block more than
when you dumped it, you might also get a brick, depending on what block is it.
Works for both PSP and PSP Slim.
Note: If you are gonna use the memory stick to restore a psp other than the one that created it,
check if the file /registry/act.dat exists in the ms. If it exists, remove it, otherwise the restored psp may not be able
to buy psn games until the user doesn't delete from flash2 the act.dat of the other psp. (act.dat files are unique for each psp).
Note that act.dat will be restored to the moment of the MS creation.
If you have bought other PSN game later, the act.dat file may have changed and if you restore the old one, you may loose the latest bought game.
Backup flash2:/act.dat each time after you buy something from the PSN! Download And Give Feedback via Comments
