Print ads? Campaigns don't begin until I see stuff on television. Until then, they are all talk! Regardless, Sony's staring to warm the oven for its PLAYSTATION 3 juggernaut with a PS3 page, announcing titles appearing at this year's Tokyo Game Show. Japanese game mags are featuring PS3 ads as well. Expect things to obviously kick into high gear starting in September. The PLAYSTATION 3 launch is just around the corner, folks.

Australia's Office of Film and Literature Classification has awarded forthcoming Rockstar title Bully an 'M' rating, suggesting that the game might not be all that violent after all.
According to the OFLC website, Bully contains "moderate themes, violence and sexual references". As a result, it will go on sale with an 'M' rating - one category below the 'MA15+' rating.
Because MA15+ is the highest rating videogames can be awarded, many titles with violent content have been refused classification by the OFLC - and thereby effectively banned from sale in Australia.
Most recently, movie tie-in Reservoir Dogs fell foul of the ratings board, and other titles banned in Australia include NARC, Grand Theft Auto III and Manhunt. Even Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure was refused classification on the grounds that it could promote the crime of graffiti.
Little has been seen of Bully's actual gameplay so far, but controversy continues to surround the title. Anti-bullying groups from across the globe have criticised the game's theme, while notorious anti-videogames campaigner Jack Thompson and UK MP Keith Vaz have demanded that it be banned from sale.
Rockstar has defended the game by pointing out that the main character, Jimmy Hopkins, is tasked with standing up for his schoolmates against bullies. A spokesperson for the company told one anti-bullying group, Bullying Online, that the game is "no worse than Just William".
Bully is slated for an October release.

Fans of big stompy robots rejoice - Namco Bandai has confirmed that its new Mobile Suit Gundam game on the PlayStation 3 will be appearing before Christmas in the United States and Japan.
Using the increasingly vague "launch period" definition, that probably means that the game can probably claim to be a PS3 launch title - and it's even got an official subtitle now. Originally shown off at E3 under the simple working title of Mobile Suit Gundam, it's now called Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire.
Based on the incredibly long-running Gundam franchise - which sits firmly at the more "realistic" and military-focused end of the often utterly insane Japanese giant robot spectrum - the game harks back to the original Gundam continuity, and allows the player to choose between campaigns for the Federation and Zeon sides, piloting famous mobile suits from the various different Gundam series along the way.
Aside from that, details are thin on the ground - notably, there's no mention of any kind of online functionality or multiplayer - and the E3 demo didn't really tell us much either. We walked around a barren desert landscape for a bit in a Federation Gundam and shot a lot of enemy mobile suits in the face, but the most we can say based on that is that you can shoot off individual limbs from enemy mechs, and that all the metal is very shiny.
And, of course, there's no word on whether we'll see the game in Europe on the same timescale, or indeed at all - but previous console launches have shown that Sony likes publishers to roll as much of their portfolio as possible out in every territory around launch, to bolster the range of titles available, so there's every chance that we could see this in the PS3 launch period on this side of the world too.

News from Eurogamer
Eurogamer can exclusively reveal that a new instalment in the TOCA series is heading to PSP later this year.
According to Codemasters, TOCA Race Driver 3 Challenge will feature a "cavalcade" of officially licensed cars and world famous tracks. Plus there's a new game mode - the World Challenge, which sees you competing in a series of international championship tiers.
You'll begin each tier with a series of tests and events designed to improve your racing skills, with a focus on the likes of damage control, using the racing line, manoeuvering, quick pit stops and braking accuracy.
Then it's on to the main event. Each tier has a specialist Championship season, where you must compete on a variety of different circuits. Only by winning the championship can you move up to the next tier.
The championships take place all over the globe - you might find yourself driving in the British GP or Australia's V8 Supercars, or taking part in the American Race series or Germany's DTM events, to name but a few. Once all that's out of the way, you can take on the very best in a global Masters championship.
Other game modes include Free Race and Time Trial, and up to 12 players can take part in Wi-Fi races simultaneously. There's also a game share feature, so up to four players can compete even if you've only got one copy of the game.
TOCA Race Driver 3 Challenge is out this winter, and will only be released in PAL territories - hard luck, Americans.

Virtua Fighter 5 looks set to be one of the PS3's premier beat'em-ups, with the perennially popular arcade fighter making a smooth and pretty lethal looking transition onto Sony's next-gen console.
Promising to unleash up to 17 fighters in a fists of fury extravaganza, VF 5 will allow you to customise your chosen bruiser to the ultimate degree with costumes and attachable items giving you an individual flavour you've never seen before in the series - plus two newcomers in El Blaze and Eileen also making their debut.
However, what concerns us today is a brand new movie from the game, with the first half of this slick if slighty camp showing reminiscent of Wrestlemania shenanigans of yore. The second half sees a very fetching Japanese lass (which we suspect might be Eileen) practising some solo moves (steady).
Throughout you'll be able to admire the amazing character models and slick animation which are very much the order of the day, but of course the proof will be in the brawling and VF5 looks like it'll be serving that up aplenty.

New from SuccessHK
An exclusive PSP edition of Capcom's legendary platforming game, directed by the original's creator Tokurou Fujiwara. The game makes use of a 3D graphics engine, giving depth to the visuals, but plays in a side-scrolling perspective and similar art design to stay true to the original. Your goal is to work your way through side-scrolling stages, defeating enemies and using your best platforming skills. The game lets you build up your skills as you progress. You start off with just a basic jump, but eventually gain a double jump and even the ability to fly. You'll also earn lots of magic spells along the way. The game promises a greater number of spells and weapons than ever before. New for Goku Makaimura is non-linear gameplay. You're no longer on a fixed path from start to end. The levels include branching points and even warp points. By using a warp point, you can warp back to previous levels and collecting items that you might have missed.

Sturatt has released a new MP3 Player for the PSP heres the release details:
I started working on this when i wanted to learn to code for the psp. needless to say, it wasnt meant to be a lifechanging program, just a learning experience. I'm not done with it, there are still a lot of things i'd like to add, but i wanted to get some feedback before i went off to school.
Feel free to email (sturatt [at] gmail [dot] com) me/post here if:
* you find any bugs
* you have suggestions
* you think I(the program) suck(s) and think i should stop development immediatly and die
there are some limitations for now, so ill list them. they're all fixable, but i just havent gotten around to it yet
* only supports 500 files being read, with 200 char long paths
* only supports 200 different albums, with 50 songs each
* only supports 300 different artists, with 60 albums each
* only supports 100 subdirectories in each directory
* doesnt handle mp3's without ID3 tags very well, i cant really explain this one but im looking into it
as you might have noticed, this works through ID3 tags, so if you're mp3s arent tagged (most likely they are) you can just download a free ID3 tagger (there are tons of them, www.google.com) and tag them easily.
things i plan to add in the near future:
*fast forward/rewind (80% done with this, just need to iron out a bug or two)
*shuffle
*sort of sleep mode while still playing mp3s
*mp3 visualization
This app is fully skinnable, so please if anyone actually uses this someone make a new skin (i suck horribly at graphics)
controls:
left trigger - switch between currently playing list and media library screen
right trigger - bring up playlist menu
x - play song (while on currently playing screen) or add artist/album/song to currently playing list (if on media library screen)
square/circle - previous/next song
triangle - pause song
left/right - switch between artist/album/song categories while on media library screen
select - exit

German publication Hartwire claims that Sony has only confirmed black PS3s at launch this fall, at least in Europe. This comes from last week's German Games Convention. The site also states that both white and silver editions will be available in the future, though Sony didn't specify when or if the same will be true for the console's November 17 US launch. It should be noted, however, that only black models are currently displayed at PS3's official North American site.

The Sony PS3's GPU, previously running at 550MHz Core/700MHz memory, has been downgraded to 500MHz Core/650MHz memory. We don't mean to crap on Sony's cake all the time, but when their most powerful machine EVAR keeps losing its power, people start to notice.
In any case, if decreasing the specs will help get more units out by Christmas and avoid yet another Xbox 360-like shortage story, we're all for it.

Monster Hunter Freedom has been a strong seller for the Sony PSP in Japan, having moved almost 600,000 copies since its release earlier this year. It was also the recipient of the "Excellence Award" at the 2005 Famitsu Awards. Monster Hunter Portable, as it's known in Japan, will be getting a couple of new downloadable quests this month according to the game's official Web site.
Gamers can download the new content via the PSP's wireless infrastructure mode starting August 30 at 2 p.m. The first quest, titled Kut Ku Festival, requires the player to bag two or more Yian Kut Ku within a given time limit. The other quest, Tenchi Kyouran, also sets a time limit within which the player must take down a Rathian and Rathalos. These quests join 16 others that have been made available to users in Japan since the game launched.
