Hot on the heels of the big 3.0 firmware update for the PlayStation Portable, Sony's finally let loose its pricing plans for the forthcoming PS1 game downloads, although the downloads themselves are still apparently a few weeks away (unless you're in Japan, in which case you can get your Tekken 2 fix today). When they do show up, however, you can plan on dropping between $5.99 and $10.99 for the games, with each taking up between 140MB and 550MB on your Memory Stick Duo. The biggest sticking point for many PSP users, however, is that, as previously reported, you can't just download the games directly to your PSP -- instead, you have to download them onto your PS3's hard drive first and transfer 'em to your Memory Stick Duo from there. No problem for some but, last we checked, there's a heckuva lot more people with PSPs than PS3s, and at the rate things are going, that looks like it'll be the case for a while yet.

It’s becoming more clear that Sony’s new Playstation 3 is not just a toy for gamers, but a toy for hackers as well.
We’ve seen it with past consoles. Hackers always manage to create “hacks” and “mods”, despite the claims by gaming console manufacturers that their new system is resistant to piracy. What makes the PS3 vulnerable to attacks?
The answer to this question lies in the PS3’s heart, the ’Cell‘ processor. The Cell processor started out as a joint project of Toshiba, Sony and IBM in 2000, and today is powering the PS3. IBM states the Cell’s security architecture is designed to prevent only software based attacks, so modding a PS3 would require a hardware addition or modification.
Hardware modding is the fundamental tool of all hackers. Once they have physical access to the PS3 the fun can begin.
The PS3 could not have made this easier, as many owners have already swapped out the PS3’s hard drive for a larger one with reports of the system accepting and formatting the new drive. This may seem like a small start to modding, but to hackers, it’s a wide open door. Is Sony’s Phil Harrison hinting that this is the best way to hack the PS3 when he says: “I’d be amazed if the Playstation 4 has a physical disk drive.”
Methods similar to the XBox 360 hack (where the authentication protocol between the optical disc drive and the console have been attacked) have been the number one thought on hacker’s minds, judging by posts at various sites.
One idea is that a Blu-Ray disk could be simulated by using a laptop and a Blu-Ray emulator. As the Blue-Ray application programming interface is publicly available, this attack may be one of the first seen.

Hi all its great that people are able to boot linux on the PS3, to the general user however Linux is just too hard.
Now back in the Xbox Emulation days a pal of mine called DC Grendel released an Apple 2 emulator for the Xbox that used Linux but was transparent so was a fully legal emulator for the Xbox. It didnt really get much notice by the Xbox scene but maybe that same idea could be used on the PS3.
Thoughts anyone ?

The insanely pretty and ambitious Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops is finally coming out soon. December 5th, to be exact. Gamespot seems to have a near-complete version in their hands, and they have a very detailed video preview, featuring tons of new never-before-seen footage of the game in motion.
They seem to have nothing but praise for this fully loaded sequel. From the graphics, to the gameplay, to the storyline and presentation-- it appears that Konami has taken no shortcuts for this game. I could say more, but I'd rather let the video do the talking.

Sony your getting crappier at these firmware updates, yeah you can bully shops into submission but the PSP Hacking scene takes a big poo on your firmware updates.
Heres the news from noobz:
So. Firmware 3.00 has been out for 2 days. Firmware 3.01 has been out for less than one day. Does anyone want a dumper and decrypter for them? We thought you might.
We're proud to present a mod to the PSPPet's PSARDumper, that will decrypt all known firmware update PSARs - just extract the PSAR from the EBOOT in the usual way, copy it to ms0:/data.psar, and run the dumper.
You can download it here. Full source is included, but please don't ask us how we made it. We could tell you, but we'd have to kill you...

Last Friday's PS3 launch in the US stimulated a significant rise in PSP and PS2 sales.
For the week ending November 20th, Sony has confirmed that PSP week-on-week sales increased by 29 per cent, while 24 per cent more PS2 units were sold.
The information came from Sony’s top five US retailers, including GameStop and Wal-Mart.
Sony's head of corporate communications David Karraker said the buzz surrounding the PS3 release had provided “a halo effect on other PlayStation products”.
North America’s 400,000 PS3 stock allocation sold out on the day of the console’s launch. Sony expects to have shipped one million PS3 units to the territory by the end of 2006.

News/Release from Denitro
PSP Revolution v0.3 is complete!
For those that are new to the game, PSP Revolution is a StepMania/DDR style game based on music and rhythm where sequences of arrows scroll up the screen in beat to a song. When the arrows reach the indicator at the top of the screen, you must hit the corresponding button. Up / Down / Left / Right buttons are used in conjunction with /\ / X / [] / O buttons to hit the arrows. The difficulty of the song is indicated by the number of feet that are lit up in the song select screen. The difficulty of most songs can be changed by pressing Left or Right while in the song select screen.
Since this is a game based on music, Headphone or Earphones are recommended for the best sound experience!
Additional songs can be downloaded from sites such as http://www.bemanistyle.com, http://www.flashflashrevolution. com and http://www.stepmania.com. Some songs/packs may be in .smzip format and can still be extracted using Winzip or Winrar.

An analysis of eBay auctions from the last week shows that the average selling prices for the Wii and PS3 have fallen precipitously from highs reached late last week, though the systems still auction for significantly more than their retail prices. At the same time, supplies of the systems on the popular auction site have skyrocketed since launch, with thousands of auctions closing for each system every day.
Average auction prices for both systems reached a high last Friday, with the Wii going for an average of over $580 (roughly 233 percent of retail) and the PS3 averaging nearly $2,400 sale prices (an astounding 397 percent of the retail price). Since then, prices have come down to more reasonable but still inflated levels, with Tuesday's Wii auctions ending at an average of just over $400 and PS3 auctions averaging just under $1,200.
Unsurprisingly, the number of completed auctions for each system peaked on the day after launch, with campers trying to turn their systems around for a quick profit in one day auctions. Over 6,000 PS3 auctions finished on the 18th and over 7,000 Wii auctions were completed on the 20th. PS3 auctions have slightly outpaced Wii auctions thus far, with nearly 15,000 Sony systems auctioned in the past week compared to just under 14,000 Wiis.

American Technology Research believes that Sony may have only shipped 125,000 to 175,000 PS3 units in North America at launch, 15K of which were sent to retail as demo kiosks. That's far cry from the originally planned 400,000 number. If true, this estimate is in line with November 14 analyst predictions that Sony would be unable to hit its already limited launch inventory.
The report also suggests Sony won't be able to hit its desired 2 million units shipped by year's end, and they don't expect the company to adjust forecasts: "To be crystal clear, we don't expect it likely that Sony will update any of its hardware numbers before it reports its December quarter in late January. We believe that the December NPD report of North American November retail hardware is shaping up to be 125k to 175k, but outside of NPD and other local (Japan) market reports, we expect Sony to remain mum and focus on delivering units to retail."
We'd stay mum too, otherwise, BB-gun enthusiasts would be bustin' some caps up on Sony headquarters.

So the PlayStation Network is free, right? Well, nothing is free. Somebody's got to pay for it, and if it's not you or me, it sure as hell ain't gonna be Sony. It's a business, not a charity!
Several industry insiders report that to cover demo download costs, Sony is currently considering charging third party developers. Here's what Sony is apparently thinking: Every time an individual downloads a demo, a service charge will be passed onto the third party developer. So they will pay for you to try out their games, instead of vice-versa. Unconfirmed, but it seems that this way the PS3's online service stays "free," Sony cuts its loses and third party developers get reamed.
A decision has yet to be reached, and Sony is hashing things out at the moment. But, if this sails through, expect the PS3 to have few third party demos, but loads of Blu-ray movie trailers.
