Major UK retailer GAME has been hit by distribution problems with the PS3 version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which released on these shores today.
Staff at the Oxford Street branch of the chain told CVG this afternoon that it had no units in stock, adding that a number of its stores are in the same position. They said that they expect to have copies in next week, possibly Monday.
When contacted about the shortage, an Ubisoft spokesperson told us, "As demand for Oblivion has been so high there may be some supply problems with Game and Gameplay, which is why it's temporarily unavailable. However, it still is available elsewhere. Rest assured, Oblivion on PS3 is definitely out today in online and high street retailers."
Yep, other major high street videogame retailers have not been caught in the distribution-problem net. Both HMV, Oxford Circus, and Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street confirmed they have plenty of copies of Oblivion on PS3 in store.

Motorstorm developer Evolution is readying a huge update for its offroad racer that will iron out all the bugs and add improved functionality to the online mode.
The update, which will be made available for free in May, will change a long list of features, most crucially fixing a glitch that "allowed a player to use boost in an exploitative manner".
The update will also iron out other errors including making it easier to find and join games quickly, improved online stability and a text bug that messed up messages when played on a standard-definition TV.
Extra polish will be added in the form of host-player identification (with a small symbol next to the host's name), and the buddy list has been expanded to a maximum of 50 names.
Unfortunately to all those precious about their stats, a bug fixed with the ranking system means all stat records will be reset to zero. And there's no way around it because you'll be forced to download the update to continue playing online. Oh well.

It seems Eidos churns out a new trailer for Tomb Raider: Anniversary every couple of weeks, building up the hype for the game's release at the end of May.
The latest trailer shows Lara taking on crocodiles and running from Indiana Jones-style booby traps in the ancient tombs of the first Tomb Raider game, which has been revamped for PS2, PC and PSP.

New from keedier:
i did this because im letting other people borrow my psp all the time, but i have some homebrews (flashing app, theme flasher, 3.40 installer, etc etc) on my psp. so if a noob tried something nasty like resetting my psp while FLASHING, i will definetely have a brick...
this app lets you hide all your homebrew from your "GAME" folder. basically hiding all homebrews out of reach of your friends and stupid cousins!
just unrar it and copy to root directory
USAGE
1. run the app
2. just enter your password by pressing 'X'
3. press "enter"
4. if entered correctly you will see "homebrew folder is edited" message and will now exit automatically
5. you will see that your homebrew is hidden... if you want to unhide it, re-run the application and re enter your password
note: the default password is "15"
you can edit it inside script.lua, just change 15 to whatever you want on password
enjoy!!!

While fans of the SWAT tactical shooter for the PC may have to wait a little longer before the next game in the series comes out for that platform, people who own a PSP console will be able to pick up their own SWAT title, Target Liberty, this fall from publisher Sierra/Vivendi Games. FiringSquad got a chance to chat with the game's producer Paul Pawlicki to find out more about their plans to bring the SWAT franchise to portable consoles.
FiringSquad: First, how did the idea come about to make a SWAT PSP title?
Paul Pawlicki: It’s pretty simple really. When we were developing SWAT 4 and then the expansion pack, The Stetchkov Syndicate, we thought that it would be a lot of fun to play the game on a handheld system. Because SWAT is a gritty, tactical shooter we felt the PSP was the best platform. Soon after SWAT: Target Liberty was in the works.

One of our readers informed us of a new service from Sony called eyeVio, which will launch tomorrow in Japan. This informative diagram from the site shows a world where cameras, camcorders, phones and other devices can communicate with each other. Next to the defunct boomerang PS3 controller, one may see a PSP. Could YouTube-styled streaming video come to the PSP? Not quite.
Just like Sony's other video streaming service, Grouper, eyeVio will allow users to download PSP (and iPod) compatible video files. More interesting, however, seems to be the mobile version of eyeVio (m.eyevio.com), which will allow users to also upload files from their mobile devices.
The service will be limited to the Japanese market.

The PS3 version of Oblivion launches across Europe today, but what ever happened to the lonely old PSP version that was unveiled last year?
Just over a year ago we reported rumours of a PS3 and PSP version of Bethesda's hit action-RPG series. Last September saw the PSP version announced to the world alongside official confirmation of the PS3 version.
Since then we've been patiently waiting for any info on the handheld version, in development at Climax. We called publisher Ubisoft yesterday to see if there's any update on the game, and just to check that it's still in development. We were met with a "no comment" from a Ubi spokesperson.
Make of that what you will, but it looks like the game's been put quietly on hold to us. We'll continue to chase a real update, but file the PSP version under missing in action for the moment.

Leading High Street retailer GAME is refusing to stock copies of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the PlayStation 3.
The title, developed by Bethesda and published on the Sony console by Ubisoft, is not available in any of the company's 400 UK and Ireland stores.
The title has seen considerable success on the Xbox 360 and PC, selling over three million units and winning numerous awards including gongs from the American Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences and the UK's BAFTAs.
The PS3 version of the game goes on sale today in Europe, but chart success is likely to be hampered by not being stocked in the UK's leading specialist store.
Neither GAME or Ubisoft were available to comment at the time of writing.

News and screenshots come in tonight from Ruliweb that indicate Soul Calibur 3 is making its way to the PSP.
According to the post, and its respective machine translation, Soul Calibur 3 will remain largely unchanged from its PS2 version that was released back in 2005.
The reason this article's title has a "?" mark at the end is because I've been unable to verify the information. The screenshots over at Ruliweb are clearly tagged with the watermark of Famitsu.com, yet at the time of this writing, there appears to be no corresponding article on Famitsu.com.

PSP Wardrobe
**************
***OVERVIEW***
**************
THIS IS FOR PSP 3.03 OE-C CUSTOM FIRMWARE.
PSP wardrobe is a theme flasher. I know there have been more than a few of these things released lately.
But I love customizing so much, that I even decided to make my own custom customiser  lol
In all seriousness though, I have decided to take up lua coding as a hobby, and this is a good first project.
Menu's and gui and all that are not that hard to write in Lua. And I have been modding the PSP XMB for the past year
or so. So i have a good understanding of the flash contents. 
It's ambitious, but I plan to eventually evolve this into the best theme flasher there is. I have tested this and
seemed to have worked out any bugs. If you find any feel free to report them to me. shizzzy@hotmail.com
As with any app that read/writes to the PSPs Flash, there is always a minor chance of damage to your PSP.
You accept all responsibility for installation & results of installation & use.
I never released v.1, because it was too bare bones to warrent a release.
v.2 is more respectable.
****************
***TO INSTALL***
****************
THIS will ONLY work on PSP 3.03 OE-C CUSTOM FIRMWARE.
Place in the "Game150" folder.
Runs directly from XMB. Does not require Lua Player to run.
DO NOT erase the files in the theme, xmb mod ect folders. Just overwrite your files over the top of
the files inside, or this program will NOT work !!
There is not enough room in the flash for themes. It is up to you to clear out space in your flash.
there are several apps (Flash agent is one) that allow dummying of unneeded font files, ect.
This app comes with no themes pre-installed. It is up to you to install your own themes.
To make your own preview pics for the menu, just take a screen shot of the desired xmb, and
resize it to 240 x 136. Save it in .png format, and name it theme1.png
(or what ever theme it is 1-10 your installing) and place it into the "Wardrobe" folder.
****************
***Change Log***
****************
*v.1 (4/17/2007) -
- checks PSP Battery, program will not run if battery life is less than 33%
- Lets you Flash 4 different Themes.
- customizable pic preview for each theme
- start button quits to xmb
*v.2 (4/26/2007)-
- Changed battery Requirement from 33% to 20%
- Added Feature that program will not boot you if under 20% battery, if PSP is plugged in charging
- Added firmware Version check Protection. Program will boot you if your firmware is not 3.03 OE
- Removed Start Quits function... Added quit to menu.
- Added support for sysconf_plugin.rco
- Increased support from 4 themes, to 10 themes
- Added "Flash A XMB Mod" menu, that lets you flash any of the supported .rco files to your current theme. (Currently allows 1 mod of each type)
- Added "Recovery Menu" menu. Lets you restore the entire original XMB, or any single aspect of it.
- Added "Back Up/Restore" menu. that lets you back up and restore your current theme.
DOWNLOAD v.2:

Last time we took Colin McRae for a spin we only got to go hands-on around a couple of tracks so, while we were bowled over by the eye-popping visuals, we didn't really get to experience the full breadth of what DiRT has to offer. Now though, we've had the chance to properly give the game a thrashing and can report that things are progressing nicely, with Codemasters well on schedule to steal the off-road crown from MotorStorm this summer.
But before we talk about the stuff we did see in the game, a brief mention of what's not in there at the moment: Unfortunately, while we got a sneak peak at the mammoth career mode, we weren't able to play through any of the races. However, what's clear is that this will certainly provide the backbone of the game, with rookie drivers proving their skills over a whopping 66 events.

Converting web games to the handheld systems seem like an extremely popular (and profitable) thing to do. Games like Elf Bowling and Cake Mania have already hit the Nintendo DS system, and other casual web browser blockbusters, like Line Rider, are on their way. Diner Dash, one of the internet's "biggie" games, is on its way to the Nintendo DS as well as the PlayStation Portable, and we got a chance to tinker around with the versions made for on-the-go gaming.
Diner Dash is a fast-paced game that's along the lines of the Cake Mania design, which is, admittedly, a design derived from classic games from yesteryear like Rootbeer Tapper and Pressure Cooker. The idea in Diner Dash is to keep customers who wander into your restaurant happy by getting them in and out as quickly and as satisfied as possible. Customers waiting in line must be seated, served, and billed, as quickly as your hands can move...otherwise they'll get upset and leave without paying.
The original game was developed with mouse control in mind, since you're clicking and dragging customers to their tables, as well as clicking Flo from table to kitchen and back again to cater to your customers' every need. On the DS, you control using the stylus on the touchscreen, tapping and dragging customers and Flo all over the game field. On the PlayStation Portable version, the controls have been modified due to the system's lack of direct clicking ability -- all action's handled via the L and R button as well as the X button, maneuvering Flo from hotspot to hotspot by cycling her using the shoulder buttons. Both versions have their own pros and cons -- the PSP clearly has more screen real estate to work with so, like the PC version, all of the action takes place on-screen. On the DS, however, the camera has to scroll to follow the action due to the system's smaller display.
Even though Diner Dash shares a lot in common with Cake Mania, Diner Dash is a lot more rapid-fire and has a lot more injected into its design to make the action a lot more "maniacal". Players will have to keep track of elements like how many people are in a party, if they have a child who needs a booster seat, what color shirt each person's wearing (putting them in the same colored seat nets a big bonus). Diner Dash also has a two player competition mode, something that Cake Mania doesn't have.
Diner Dash will be released in just a few weeks time on both handheld systems.

Good news for Blu-ray fans. Sony's just announced that they're ramping up blue laser diode production yet again, which will lower the price to just around $8 each by June. What will this mean to you? Well, seeing as the diodes were the reason for the PS3 shortages this fall (and contributed to both the PlayStation's and Blu-ray players' high prices), this huge windfall of diodes could mean lowered prices for all Blu-ray related items.
Some analyst from Wedbush Morgan Securities agrees, saying "Sony is definitely in a position to cut price," and that prices will be lowered once costs hit around $499. So those of you who are on the fence about dumping $599 may want to wait it out just a little longer.
Also, since HD DVD also uses blue laser diodes (a different type, and they just don't call theirs blue), this news could also mean they will ramp up production of theirs as well.
