Speaking to CBC News, Sony Computer Entertainment of Canada's marketing and public relations manager Matt Levitan announced that North American gamers who missed out on the launch will have another chance to grab a PS3 next week.
"We are getting a second shipment next week, probably around the middle of next week. We'll know by Monday or Tuesday when they will be available.
"We are flying in shipments from Japan and China, and will probably ship them directly to retail" [instead of to Sony's warehouses], he said.
Levitas expects 4 or 5 additional shipments by the end of 2006, with each shipment containing a quarter of the units that were available at launch. He unfortunately didn't state what that number was. If Sony's original 400K launch number is to be believed, that means another 400-500K in the next six weeks.
So if you live in the US region and you missed out, here is your second shot at getting a PS3.

People can “Play Beyond” but they will also have to pay beyond if they must have the newest creation from Sony.
The 400,000 Playstation 3 systems that hit the market Friday created a craze across the county.
There was a high demand for the systems that Sony says offer an array of multimedia options from playing music, videos and games to downloading photos, browsing the Internet and video chatting with other game fanatics. This demand created long lines at stores and even violence.
It was reported that nearly 700 people stood outside a Sony Style store in New York and more than 800 at a store in San Francisco.
With a small supply of the systems distributed in the Untied States, most stores only carried 10 to 30 consoles. In Montrose, Wal-Mart was the only location to receive any.
Employee Jessica Kaiser said she was working at 12:01 a.m., Friday when the systems went on sale. The store didn’t set them on the selves and Kaiser said they sent anyone asking to layaway. She said the store had 12 systems, having both versions that sold for $500 to $600.
Now that all the store shelves are empty, game fanatics have few options if they must have a PS3. The consoles are going for up to $3,000 on E-Bay.
Leo Mitchell has been playing video games since 1989 when Nintendo and Sega were first released. He said he was one of the first to purchase a Playstation 2 when it hit the market, but this time he’s holding off.
“I’m going to wait a couple of years because the first batch always has a few bugs,” he said. “PS2 did the same thing.”
Elisha Curtis, Hastings’ store manager, said she received a memo from Sony that stated only 25 to 30 percent of older games are working with the units.
Hastings didn’t receive any consoles this time but it is possible that it might for Christmas. She said it all depends on Sony. The store’s phone lines were busy both Thursday and Friday with callers wanting to know if Hastings was carrying the PS3.
No violence broke out in Montrose, but other cities weren’t as lucky.
The Associated Press reported in Hartford, Conn., that two armed men tried to rob a line of people waiting in line and shot one man who refused to hand over his money.
In Chicago, a line of 300 people gathered outside Best Buy. Police were called after fights broke out when people were accused of cutting in line.
The PS3 sold in minutes across the nation. Today, gamers will have a chance to get their hands on Nintendo’s new “Wii.” The company hopes to supply 4 million systems to stores across the nation, but sellouts are still expected.

Nintendo strikes this weekend with its new Wii gaming console and Sony's PlayStation 3 has already sparked rowdy crowds, a buying frenzy and even violence — and the holiday season has barely begun.
In the gaming world, it's all out war.
Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are fighting for a piece of the $20 billion video gaming industry. Following the PlayStation 3 launch this past week, Nintendo will launch its Wii gaming console Sunday evening.
Nintendo's strategy is to release the lowest-priced console on the market and to focus on the game content, not the graphics.
"The whole strategy behind the Wii is to bring gaming back to the masses," said Reginald Fils-Amie, president and COO of Nintendo North America.
Sony is making a different play. Its $600 PlayStation 3 offers graphics better than anything on the market. Sony says it had 400,000 consoles available at launch, but for diehard fans, that may not be enough.
"It can't be a marketing ploy because Sony has been losing money hand over fist," said Adam Sessler, host of G4's Xplay. "They're trying to get out as many as they can."
Sony is even hiring private jets to bring in 100,000 new devices each week for the holiday season.
Gaming insiders said Sony is playing catch-up. The company is losing about $300 per console because of all the extra technology they have added to stay competitive.
"It's a way to create this hub inside your house so that there's one central spot where you can be buying Sony products," Sessler said.
The bigger battle may be between Sony and Microsoft, the maker of the Xbox 360. The fight is over the future of entertainment, and the battlefield is your living room.

For those few who were able to get a PlayStation 3, Sony has a form where you can determine which previous games will work with the PS3. Future firmware updates will continue to increase the compatibility list.

Noobz posted this news:
There has been a lot of confusion about how to use xLoader. Here are a few tips in an attempt to clear things up.
Step-by-step instructions:
Install xLoader, using either the auto-installer, or by following the instructions in the readme.txt file in the ZIP package.
Install some homebrew - perhaps by using the Installotron, which you can run from eLoader (it doesn't work well in xLoader).
Use the PatchSFO tool to ensure that your homebrew is ready for xLoader (see below for instructions).
Now browse to your PSP's photo menu, and open the folder 'xLoader 280'. If everything has worked, you will see 2 file icons, one a round blue circle, the other a 'corrupt data' icon. So long as your PSP hasn't crashed at this point, then xLoader is now running.
Alternatively, highlight the 'xLoader 280' folder and press START, to attempt a slideshow of the images in the folder. The PSP will complain that there are no pictures to show - this is OK, so long as the PSP hasn't crashed, then xLoader is now running.
Browse to the homebrew you want to load, in the PSP's 'GAME - Memory Stick' folder, and press X or O (depending on your PSP region) to start it.
The screen should go white, and then some text about eLoader appears briefly, followed by the homebrew starting. If your PSP crashes, then the homebrew you're trying to run is either not installed correctly, or it's not compatible with xLoader.
Some general info:
There's plenty of useful and important information in the README file - click here to read it again (because of course you read it when you installed Kriek, right?).
If you haven't downloaded it already, you should grab the PatchSFO utility (see below). You can also install it via Installotron. If you run PatchSFO, then you'll be able to at least attempt to run all your homebrew via xLoader. Without PatchSFO, the XMB won't even try to start most homebrew.
Sometimes you'll find that the eLoader and xLoader TIFFs stop working. If that happens:
Try running a disk checking tool on your memory stick. For Windows, you can use 'chkdsk', or the 'Properties - Tools - Error Checking' option that comes up if you right-click the memory-stick drive icon. On a Mac, you can try the 'First Aid' option of the Mac Disc Utility. This seems to fix about 95% of problems.
Try reinstalling eLoader.
Try starting with a different method - if you normally start with slideshow (using the START button, then try just opening the folder (with the X or O button) - and vice versa.
eLoader will usually crash if you try to run it when xLoader is active. Just hold the power switch on your PSP for 5 seconds to reset it, then turn it back on again. This removes xLoader from memory.
Finally, a tip for Installotron:
Installotron currently can only cope with one network connection in your PSP's configuration - it will always try to connect to the first one in the internal list. So, if you're having trouble connecting, you could try deleting all access point configurations except for the one that you're trying to connect to.
Heres the PatchSFO Tool and details:
This program is used to patch the EBOOT files to make them compatable with firmware 2.80. This application goes through all of the applications installed in MS0:/PSP/GAME/ and patches them so that they will start with xLoader.
This was a tool that we used during testing and we thought it would be useful to users, the source is provided as well so that if anyone wants to build this into an nice application, you can do.
It will presumably also work for making homebrew compatible with Dark Alex's HEN C, although we haven't tested that to confirm it.
Source is included in case anyone wants to extend it and make it prettier.

E has released a new version of his Multi System Emulator for the PSP, heres the systems it covers:
Bandai Wonderswan
Atari Lynx
NEC PC Engine
SNK Neo Geo Pocket
Sega Master System
Sega Game Gear
Nintendo Gameboy
Famicom
Heres the amusing translation from Japanese to English:
(1) the number of scan lines from 159 was modified in 160 and compatibility improved.
It is thought that speed has decreased with this correction.
(2) drawing acceleration processing it is in the midst of mounting.
(3) volume of sound was adjusted the beefsteak toe.
Yeah its crappy, but its a new emulator to try

news via news 4 gamers
The PS3 launched this morning in North America. Many of you have been standing in line for hours (some even days) to get your hands on one of the 400 000 PS3s that Sony have shipped to retailers. Though recent reports suggest that the number of PS3s available on launch day will only be 200 000. To make things even worse eBayers have been paying homeless people to stand in line for days making it even harder for real gamers to get their hands the much anticipated next-gen console from Sony.

Would you give up a PS3 for the rest of your life to win a $7500 computer? PC Gamer convinced one guy to do just that at the Sony Metreon in San Francisco.
After being offered a $7500 gaming rig complete with 30" LCD, former Sony fanboy Neil contractually signed off his right to ever own a PS3 console. Sure, he can still buy a Wii (and possibly go over to a friend's to play PS3), but you don't realize how much these new gadgets are intrinsically worth until someone offárs you a boatload of money to never own them. What do our faithful readers think? Would you take a deal to never own...let's say play...a PS3 for a certain amount of compensation?

Translation:
Useless to present what is Psx-P because I imagine that everyone knows that Yoshihiro continues to develop this Psx emulator for PSP. To make you benefit from these last projections, it decided to publish this weekend a new playable version of its emulator.
Description:
For recall, PSX-P is an emulator intended to emulate the PS1 of Sony. It is a bearing of PCsx
What is nine doctor?
This emulator with known a certain number of changes since its first version and Yoshihiro with taken again more once its work with zero.
The last version to date in date will be published in the weekend even if it is still far from the laid down objectives. Compatibility was widened and I hope to be able to say some to you more before the release because I do not have yet this version in hand.
Why a public release finally?
Yoshihiro was said that it was time to give pleasure with all those which support it and to forget the few jealous ones which tests décrédibiliser its work of bearing. It makes of sound to better try to make turn this emulator but the obstacles its difficult to cross.
The setting on line will be accompanied by the sources but these last will be given, initially, only with some programmers referents in the field of the PSP so that they can judge evolution of the product.
Should be an interesting weekend, lets hope and pray we get no more of the source release problems that marred the first great release.

news via psp fanboy
The PS3 and PSP are going to be great friends. Sure, they won't be able to play with each other when the PLAYSTATION 3 comes out, but they will in the future, and the possibilities are exciting. chubgians, IGN's ultimate PSP fanboy, recently wrote a massive essay on how PS3-PSP connecitivty can succeed where GCN-GBA has failed. Some of the key points to note:
* The two systems were made to work with each other: look at the XMB. Also, there's no extra cables to buy: just use the PSP's wi-fi connection, or the USB cable that's connected to the controller.
* Even without any software, you can access content on the PS3 from your PSP. With the Gamecube, your GBA cables were useless unless you had a game that supported it... and those were quite few in number.
* Accessing the Friends feature of the PS3 from the PSP will be incredible: imagine, a universal play experience on your PS3 and PSP. It's starting with games like Cash Money Chaos.
