This news was just confirmed internally, and I wanted people to know ASAP. 
--
After more than 3 years of online service, the external company providing server hosting for both Resident Evil: Outbreak and Monster Hunter has decided to exit the PlayStation 2 online business altogether, with no possibility of outsourcing either the service or the technology.
This means that online gameplay for both games will come to an end on December 31, 2007. Fortunately, the single-player campaigns in both games will be unaffected by this change and will continue to provide hours of entertainment on both PlayStation 2 and backwards-compatible PlayStation 3 hardware. Thank you for supporting Capcom’s online titles over the years!
--
And just so you know, although these are older titles, we did want to make an effort to keep the fans happy and continue supporting online play. We've tried to extend the contract, move it someplace else, etc. It's not happening. The hosting partner (who I guess remains nameless here) is just quitting the business entirely and doesn't want to mess around with the time/money involved in porting anything. Thanks to everyone who has kept these games fun online for so many years.
best,
Seth

n a post from Sony's official Playstation blog, Sony reveals a new longer lasting battery for its handheld gaming system, the PSP.
Battery life has always been a concern for Sony and the PSP as one of the main complaints about the PSP has been the short battery life. It can take as little as 3 hours for the PSP's battery to go from fully-charged to empty. In contrast, the battery life of the Nintendo DS is around 10 hours.
The PSP was released in 2005 in the U.S. when Sony decided to go head-to-head with Nintendo and the Nintendo DS. Nintendo has got a monopolistic hold on the handheld gaming market since the released of the Game Boy in the late 1980s. While the PSP is lagging far behind the Nintendo DS in sales, it still managed to capture and maintain a piece of the market share and is selling really well overall; that is something no other competitor has achieved against Nintendo in the handheld market.
The original PSP model (circa 2005- September 2007) comes with a 3.6v (voltage) battery that can hold 1800mAh (Milliamp Hour, or how much energy the battery can hold).
PSP 2000 (otherwise known as PSP Slim & Lite), a remodeling of the PSP, was released in the U.S. in September of this year. In addition to adding new features like TV output, the PSP 2000 is slightly lighter and smaller than the original model. The new model was also more energy efficient as it only needed a 3.6v battery that can hold 1200mAh. Despite having a lower mAh, the battery life of PSP 2000 lasts about as long as the older model.
The PSP Extended Life Battery Kit will come with a 3.6v battery that can hold 2200mAh. The new extended battery will last approximately 20 % longer than the battery for the original PSP model. The PSP Extended Life Battery Kit also approximately doubles the battery life of the PSP 2000.
The new extended battery is thicker than the PSP 2000's battery; fortunately, Sony will include two different battery covers (one colored in piano black, the other in ice silver) for PSP 2000 with the extended battery in the package.
Owners of the older PSP model won't be left out since The PSP Extended Life Battery Kit is compatible with both the original PSP model and the new PSP 2000. The PSP Extended Life Battery Kit will be availble in mid-December at the price of MSRP $44.99.

After the launch of the Playstation 3, it is very rare to come across titles that have been exclusively made for its predecessors. But Square Enix had already released a role playing game exclusively for the PS2 in Japan. Now they sent word that Odin Sphere will also be released in Europe as well as other PAL territories.
Odin Sphere is a side-scrolling action title featuring stunning hand-drawn artwork and animations. It also has fully-voiced dialogues along with five playable characters in all. The fates of all the five characters in Odin Sphere are intertwined with the others’. Hitoshi Sakimoto, who has composed music for games like Final Fantasy XII has contributed to this game. Odin Sphere has a nice cooking and alchemy system, which can be used to make powerful attack and recovery items. This is the PAL version of the game and it features a 60Hz display mode as well as an optimized 50Hz display mode. And yes, the in-game text has been fully localized into English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.
John Yamamoto is the president and chief executive officer of Square Enix Ltd. He said, “Odin Sphere embodies the assurance of Square Enix in bringing new experiences to European gamers. This is especially reflected in our partnership with Atlus, allowing Square Enix Ltd. to publish the first non Square Enix title in PAL territories. The wonderfully crafted Odin Sphere is the best possible start to an exhilarating new period for the company.”
Overview of Odin Sphere for PS2: The nations of Erion had always held an uneasy peace, as the various kings and queens watched each other for any signs of weakness. When the country of Valentine is obliterated by the power of an ancient artefact, it sparks a bloody war between the fairies of Ringford and the warriors of Ragnanival. Little do they know that they are acting out an almost-forgotten prophecy: one that, if fulfilled, will lead to the destruction of the entire world. Take control of the warrior princess Gwendolyn, daughter of Odin, and follow the threads of an intricately woven story as you uncover the truth behind the prophecy – and how to bring it to an end.
Odin Sphere has been originally developed by Vanillaware but the localizations have been done by Atlus. It is expected to release in Europe in the early part of next year. The game was first released in Japan and later it was launched in North America. Odin Sphere has received good reviews and gamers in Europe would be glad to have this game for their PS2 consoles.

last night i got bored of playing my only game (resistance), so i booted F@H and turned on the discovery channel.
watched an akward show of some U.S. / eur folks who go around the world and participate in tribal completitions.
when it went to commercials, it showed the discovery channel logo and right under it was the PS3 gameboot(.pmf) logo, and said
"This show is brought to you, in part, by, Playstation 3"
then the playstation network commercial came on, which for some reason is advertising Home, even though it's no where near ready for release, but that's a whole other topic.
what i'm wondering, is why would a video game org. sponsor a show about tribal completitions in Africa?

News/release from andyauff:
This is a program designed to let you create your own drill sets for marching bands. If you don't know, the drill is the movement of the band on the field. This program allows you to add an "X" wherever you want a band member to be for that set, just the way drill sheets look.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
On the screen is a standard (almost to scale, but not exactly) high school football field. You can see all of the yard lines, with the goal lines being green,
the 50 yard line being blue, and the rest black. there are also hash marks (high school
distances, still).
You simply move the "selector," or square, around the field to where you want the "dot" (coordinates and position for each band member) of the band
member. Press CROSS on the PSP to create an "X" right there! The selector moves at an 8-5 step with each press of the d-pad. For example, if you press the right arrow on the d-pad, the selector will move one step to the right on the screen (towards the "side 2" goal line) at an 8-5 step. The analog stick is, at the moment, sensitive, but it can get you moving around the field faster than an 8-5 step at a time. Moving the analog stick will make the selector move 8 8-5 steps in the respective direction (the distance between two yard lines). The selector will likely move at least 16 8-5 steps because of the sensitivity, but it is useful to get around the field quickly (it will always move at a multiple of 8, though... just sometimes it moves 2 sets of 8 8-5 steps, and so on...).
Up at the top of the PSP's screen is a display telling you where, exactly, the selector is currently on the screen. It tells you how many steps off of the closest yard line you are, and how many steps from the closest hash or side line you are. It also shows you the selector's x and y values (in pixels) on the PSP's screen.
There is also an undo feature, which is a little buggy but should get the job done. Simply press CIRCLE on the PSP to undo the last "X" you added to the screen.
That's just about it, have fun!
CONTROLS:
CROSS (X): Create an instance of "X" on the screen at the current position of the selector.
CIRCLE (O): Undo the last creation of "X" performed.

Atlus' awesome PS2 action RPG, Odin Sphere, looked like it may never have seen the light of day over here. But Square Enix has confirmed otherwise today, pencilling it in for an early 2008 release.
Okay, so that's almost a year behind the US and Japanese launches, where it hit shelves in May, but considering its spiritual predecessor, Princess Crown (Saturn) never made it outside of Japan, we're grateful.
You take control of a princess named Gwendowlyn - daughter of Odin - who is tasked with uncovering the secrets of a prophecy that could lead to the end of the world.
Odin Sphere is particularly special for its unique 2D art style that looks like something out of a fairytale story book. You'll see what we mean in the screens below.
PS2 lives on...

Sony has updated PlayStation Portable's firmware to version 3.73.
The new firmware supposedly fixes a flaw with the UMD drive. Apparently in some cases data would fail to load properly, and Sony appears to have solved that problem.
Not the most exciting news in the world, then, but undoubtedly important news to anybody who's been suffering from the above-mentioned UMD-knack.
You can download the new firmware from Sony's website (if you can bloody find it) or by using the Network Update option on the XMB.

Koei has brought Shin Sangoku Musou (Dynasty Warriors) and Sengoku Muosu (Samurai Warriors) to the PSP through multiple installments. Now, it's tapping into its PS2 library for a more recent spinoff, Musou Orochi (Warriors Orochi in America).
Titled simply Musou Orochi, the PSP incarnation features all the gameplay from the PS2 and Xbox 360 versions of the game along with 79 generals, including two original Koei creations, to choose from.
The portable Musou engine has apparently improved some since Dynasty Warriors Vol.2. Orochi will feature expansive stages with no transitions between areas, allowing for the console experience on the go. Additionally, the game's two player mode will be set in the same stages as the story mode. Previous multiplayer modes were set in special stages.
Musou Orochi hits the Japanese PSP in February.

If you got home late last night and were itching to play a round of Pain, chances are you went to bed unsatisfied. Just hours after posting the PlayStation Network game that has players launching a character from a giant slingshot and racking up high scores for the damage that ensues, Pain was removed from the PlayStation Store.
Scott Groyl, a public relations specialist with Sony Computer Entertainment, said the removal was to address several issues the game was having -- namely, two characters that would not load as well as the lack of online leaderboards and a broken video on the community page.
"It is something that should be working today," Groyl said.
Gamers who downloaded Pain before it was removed can still use their title but will probably notice the inability to play as Santa or the scantily-clad woman known as Cookie. If you try to select the characters in the single-player option, a message appears stating you need to re-download and install Pain from the PS3's "Transaction Management" option.

Follow us into the magical land of the PlayStation Store and you should see a whole bag full of new treats, including new maps for Resistance, new cars for MotorStorm, new content for Sonic and even a couple of PSone games to play on your PS3 or PSP.
Tom seems to be most excited by the addition of Destruction Derby (GBP 3.49) to the line-up of PSone games available for PS3 and PSP. Kula World (also GBP 3.49) is the other one.
Those are also available from the new PC-based PSP Store (games with dual compatibility can be downloaded from either location irrespective of where you pay for them).
Overflowing next from the sack of snacks is a multiplayer demo for TimeShift, the shooter where you can do all sorts of things to clocks to help you kill your enemies.
Then there is oodles of added content for existing games. First are fresh missions, boss and team attacks for Sonic at GBP 1.99 a squeeze, followed by the new maps Bracknell and Axbridge for Resistance: Fall of Man. But it wouldn't be complete without a pair of new vehicles for MotorStorm, so new Samurai and Quickfoot things are now available to cavort around in.
Elsewhere you can enjoy some trailers for Uncharted, Pain, Smackdown vs RAW 2008, Blazing Angels 2 and Assassin's Creed.

Sony has hired Deutsch as the new agency in charge of its USD 150 million PlayStation ad account.
Although no official announcement has yet been made, Agency Spy is reporting that Deutsch, based in Los Angeles, has won the coveted account.
Deutsch was one of five finalists vying for the account, including Publicis, Venebles, RPA, and TBWA.
TBWA, formerly known as Chiat/Day, had handled Sony's advertising since 1994 with the launch of the original PlayStation. It also helped Sony launch the PS2, PSP, and PS3, but was recently involved in controversy over some of its advertisements.
According to TNS Media Intelligence, Sony spent USD 94 million on measured media in 2006 and USD 2.9 million for the first eight months of 2007.

While Toshiba has enjoyed exceptionally booming sales of its HD-A2 HD DVD player in the North America market, Blu-ray Disc (BD) appears to have gained the upper hand in the PC-use drive segment.
Sony has recently launched a new BD burner, the BWU-200S, and Taiwan-based Asustek Computer is promoting its BC-1205PT BD Combo drive in the China market, according to industry sources in Taiwan.
Pioneer and Philips have also launched BD drives, the sources noted, while Lite-On IT will launch a BD-ROM drive for sale under its own brand Liteon soon. Additionally Matsushita Electric Industrial (Panasonic) will debut a BD Combo drive later this quarter, the sources indicated.

Variety is reporting that Sony plans to bring a high-definition video on demand service to Japanese customers early next year, courtesy of the PlayStation 3. Sony has already revealed plans for such a service in the Korean market, with SCEA's Jack Tretton hinting at a similar plan for the North American market at E3 2007. With UK customers already in line for a VOD service on the PSP, it should come as no surprise that Japan is getting access, too.
