[DarkFader] sent in his build that implements two-factor authentication on a Sony PocketStation.
The PocketStation was a PS1 accessory intended to be a competitor to the Dreamcast VMU. [DarkFader] wrote an app for his PocketStation using a fabulous PocketStation emulator and uploaded it with the PS3 memory card adapter and MCRWwin.
The PocketStation app (available here) takes a key and hashes it with the current time to generate a six digit code. Combined with Google’s support for two-factor authentication, [DarkFader]‘s memory card provides access to his Google profile.
Two-factor authentication is also used in RSA SecurID key fobs that werecompromised earlier this year. This lead to a huge number of companies being penetrated. For a single person, obscurity is a reasonable (but still ultimately futile) means of providing a little more security, but a PocketStation hack is still pretty cool.

Last week, during a Capcom event showcasing the publisher's upcoming games, a brief demo on Asura's Wrath was given by Capcom's Kazuhiro Tsuchiya and developer Cyberconnect 2's Hiroshi Matsuyama, giving us a glimpse at the game's opening portion and the stage immediately followingAsura's fight on the moon.
While the two talked about all of the crazy stuff going on in Asura's Wrath at length, the end of the demo yielded a far more juicier nuggest: a launch date for the game in North America. Capcom reconfirmed the date this morning via press release, revealing a February 21, 2012 launch for Asura's Wrath on both Xbox 360 and PS3. That gives us plenty of time to practice our pose!

Sony Online Entertainment’s PS3 and PC MMO DC Universe Online will become a free-to-play title on November 1st.
The studio announced that it was going to switch its title to the F2P model last month, but has only now finalised a date.
New players joining under the F2P model will have access to the game’s current gameplay and cities including Gotham City and Metropolis. They will be allowed to create two characters.
DLC and other perks such as additional character slot will be available to purchase via the in-game store.
The second tier of membership – called Premium – is open to any player who has spent at least $5 on the game (either via microtransactions or subscriptions). They will get free additional character and inventory slots and a greater range of in-game purchasables.
Legendary members, meanwhile, is reserved for those who wish to continue spending $14.99 a month on their subscription. As a reward, they will get all content and DLC for free as well as a host of other benefits such as 15 character slots and 80 inventory slots.

Sony will be releasing a special 'First Edition' bundle PlayStation Vita to customers a week early in the US and Canada.
The bundle features the Bigbig minigame collection, a case and a 4gb memory card. In the US it will cost $350 and contain the more expensive 3G model, whilst Canadians will get the wi-fi only machine for $300.
Bundles will be delivered by Amazon for February 15, but no similar deal has been announced in Europe. The Vita launches in Japan on December 17.

Uh oh, Sony's smart idea technicians have figured it out. The number one reason to purchase new gaming hardware, in its most expensive and least supported state, is to flaunt it in front of friends with fewer pixels. Pre-ordering the PlayStation Vita First Edition Bundle -- starting at "select" retailers today -- will not only grant you a few extra goodies, but access to the system one week before its proper launch.
In North America, the PlayStation Vita First Edition Bundle includes a 3G + Wi-Fi variant of the hardware, a system case, a 4GB PS Vita memory card, and a copy of Little Deviants, a wacky minigame showcase of the Vita's abilities. That'll be $350, or $50 over the 3G Vita's suggested retail price. Meanwhile, the Wi-Fi only Vita will get a First Edition Bundle in Canada for $300.
Of course, the biggest value here is that you can pick the bundle up on February 15, 2012. Yes, we know we're being petty and materialistic, but just look at the screen on this thing. Oh, no, it's not available to the masses yet, friend. This right here, this is the power button.
Oh, you wanted to see Uncharted? Well ... how about, um, Little Deviants? That's a game that ... nobody else has, you know.

Assassin's Creed won’t be forgotten in a busy Q4. Despite a very public battle between next month’s Modern Warfare 3 and today’s release Battlefield 3, Ubisoft’s has lined up an ad blitz to ensure its franchise cuts above the noise.
And the centrepiece of the campaign is an extensive TV and cinema push which runs all the way to December.
Mark Slaughter, Ubisoft’s head of brand marketing, told MCV: “We’re confident not only with the levels of spend but also our creative cut through. The competition is strong but we believe we’ll reach our target audiences.”
Brand manager Jan Sanghera added: “We have a blockbuster campaign in place for Revelations.”

The PlayStation Vita's browser will support part of the HTML5 standard but not Adobe's Flash at launch, reports claim, although support may well be introduced afterwards.
Sony has also revealed that the machine will require proprietary memory cards in order to launch some games and to download and store content, giving Sony free-rein to set the price of the peripherals.
These cards will be a new format, and won't be compatible with Sony's previous Memory Stick standard.
The information arose from an extensive PR Q&A with Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, which asked Sony to give details on many issues of concern to consumers.
Alongside the partial support for HTML5, Vita's browser will feature cookies and JavaScript 1.7 support.
The interview also makes clear that any movies or games customers downloaded for PSP via the PSN will be available for download on the Vita for free, although the matter of transferring save files remains unclear.

The United States may not be getting the PS Vita at first, but that doesn't mean you can't be the first kid on your block to own one. Sony took to its US PlayStation Blog today, unveiling its First Edition bundle of the portable gaming powerhouse, which is up for pre-order now at "select retailers." US buyers will receive a 3G + WiFi Vita with a limited edition case, a 4GB memory card and a copy of Little Deviants for $350, while Canadian buyers will get the WiFi-only variant for $299 -- better yet, it'll arrive at your doorstep one week prior to the 02/22/2012 release date for North America. Sure, it may not have wishful goodies like pro bono AT&T 3G, but if you've just gotta have it, well, them's the breaks, y'all. You'll find more info at the source link below, or at Amazon where we've already spotted it.

We say proprietary and you think, Sony. Isn't that how it usually goes? For the electronic giant's latestreVitalized foray into portable gaming, the same old custom solution is in tow -- now, with limited storage options. According to a report on Kotaku Japan, games made for the handheld will either save your progress to its SD card-like external storage or to the cartridge itself, as SCEI's not offering users any option for overlap or preference. Thinking you might save a few bucks and skip out on the external memory altogether? Well, my frugal gaming friends, think again. Unlike the PSP, titles for the system requiring an external save, in addition to some downloadable content, simply won't play without a memory card on board. Sure, this tidbit of news could prove frustrating to those not indoctrinated to the company's obstinate ways. But, we're willing to bet this device's dazzling innards are enough to help you overlook these minor niggles come next February.

The new PlayStation Vita will launch in Japan on December 17 with a couple of features missing, according to a Famitsu report.
The Japanese magazine reports in a recent Q&A that the machines web browser will support cookies, Javascript version 1.7, HTML5, but will not support Flash "at launch".
The magazine also says, in conflict with information from Sony, that Vita will also not support 'Game Archives' - which encompasses downloadable PsOne and TurboGrafx-16 games in Japan - at launch.
This suggests that Sony may have some feature-boosting updates lined up post-launch, and we're hoping these holes, if true, will be plugged before the handheld's EU/US launch in February.
On a more positive note, the mag says Vita will have bilinear texture filetering for PSP titles, which will make the old-gen games look better on the new console.

Unreal-powered tower defense RPG Dungeon Defenders missed its European PlayStation Network launch due to a request for changes from Sony Europe.
As revealed earlier today, the game didn't appear on the PlayStation Store today as planned, despite going on sale on PSN North America and worldwide on Steam and Xbox Live Arcade.
Doug Kennedy, CEO of Reverb Publishing, told Eurogamer exactly what's been going on behind the scenes.
"SCEE and SCEA have their own qualifications for each territory, and we stand by the merits that the game has passed SCEA's stringent approval process and have submitted a similar build to SCEE," he said.
"We are working to get SCEE to meet their approval process because SCEE has a different approval process and SCEE decided to request changes to the game. [Developer] Trendy decided to finalise the game for North America and get the three SKUs shipped as planned.
"The game is currently available on XBLA and PC in Europe, we hope to be out on PlayStation shortly."
He added that the development team is currently "working to meet SCEE's additional requirements".
There's some better news for Reverb and Trendy though. The game, which first launched on iOS and Android late last year, was reportedly downloaded 250,000 times from Steam during its first week on sale.
Reverb PR director Adam Matza added that "the Xbox and PS3 numbers are amazing also", though wouldn't offer exact figures.

Today, the PlayStation Blog confirmed earlier rumors of a re-release forLittleBigPlanet 2. We can't say we're surprised, since the previousLittleBigPlanet game had a Game of the Year Edition re-release, but here it is: both a limited edition title with all of the game's DLC thus far and a PlayStation Move hardware bundle are coming to select retailers on November 15.
The LittleBigPlanet 2: Special Edition features the original game, PlayStation Move add-on content, the Toy Story level and costume pack, and the pets costume packs, all in one package. But if you're lacking in hardware and have got the requisite clearance for flailing in your domicile, then perhaps the PlayStation Move hardware bundle is for you. It includes the enhanced version of LBP 2, plus a PlayStation Move controller, a Nav controller and a PlayStation Eye camera.
Sorry, no word on pricing, but we imagine the game will be $59.99 and the bundle will be somewhere around $149.99.

Sony and EA have reneged on a promise to include Battlefield 1943 with all PlayStation 3 copies of Battlefield 3.
The move was announced at Sony's E3 press conference in July, where Jack Tretton said that making use of the extra storage space on Blu-ray discs meant the PS3 release of Battlefield 3 would represent "one of the most exciting games of the year bundled free with one of the most popular PSN games."
After gamers in North America - where Battlefield 3 was released yesterday - noticed that Battlefield 1943 was conspicuous by its absence, a tweet from the official Battlefield account said that the free game had been replaced by early access to DLC, which was announced last month.
"In lieu of 1943 being available on disc," the tweet reads, "EA has made all BF3 expansions available early to PS3 customers."
The news follows reports overnight of server problems on the Xbox 360 version. Battlefield 3 will be released in Europe on Friday.

Sony says it is still working to get Payday: The Heist ready for release in Europe, a week after the game launched on the US PlayStation Store.
In a post on the PlayStation Blog revealing this week's PS Store update, Sony's Andy Stewart writes: "We are close to being able to confirm the release date of Payday: The Heist and are just waiting for SOE to provide 100 per cent confirmation, which we hope will be with us later today.
"SCEE and SOE are working hard to get the game in your hands as soon as possible; thank you for your patience."
The delay will be especially galling for those who are entitled to a free copy of the game after buying all four games in the PSN Play promotion. Payday: The Heist has already been delayed once, with Sony announcing it would not make its original release date of October 5 at the eleventh hour.

A memory card is "pretty much a requirement" for PlayStation Vita, according to Japanese magazine Famitsu.
Andriasang brings word that some games - apparently includingUncharted: Golden Abyss - will not even boot up without a memory card inserted into Sony's upcoming PSP successor.
All of which is fair enough - especially for those preferring to download their games from the PlayStation Store rather than buy boxed product at retail - but Sony's decision to use a new proprietary card format means, inevitably, they will come at quite a price.
While worldwide pricing is yet to be revealed, in Japan a 4GB card costs ¥2,200 (£18), 8GB ¥3,200 (£26), and 16GB ¥5,500 (£45), while a 32GB card will set you back ¥9,500 (£78).
Vita launches in Japan on December 17, and will be released in Europe, Australia and the US on February 22.

Gamers have been reporting problems connecting to multiplayer games of Battlefield 3 on Xbox 360 after its US launch last night, problems which EA and DICE have been hard at work to fix.
Battlefield 3's beta was downloaded, according to EA, by over nine and a half million people across all platforms, but the stress testing of that experience seems to have not prepared the servers for yesterday's load.
Battlefield 3's official Twitter feed reported the problems as fixed over seven hours ago, but many users are still experiencing difficulty in accessing multiplayer sessions.
DICE's community manager Daniel Matros reported a further fix just over an hour ago.
Battlefield 3 launches in the UK and Europe on Friday. For a round up of the game's critical reception, read our summary here.

God of War creator David Jaffe isn't interested in returning to the franchise unless he could reinvent the template he laid down in the PlayStation 2 original.
Jaffe, who's currently hard at work on Twisted Metal for PlayStation 3, explained in a blog post today that he now only wants to make titles that put gameplay ahead of story, a stance that might be at odds with the cinematic action that God of War has become famous for.
"A lot of people ask me if I'd ever make another God of War (assuming that opportunity was offered) and I always say the same thing: if it were God of War meets something like Zelda (formula wise), then yes (aka Darksiders, right?)," he wrote
"But if it were God of War using the current formula, I would not. For me - and this is just me PERSONALLY (I get and respect not everyone shares this same thinking) - directing God of War made me realise that as a game designer (and certainly as game director) I want our games to serve the gods of GAMEPLAY first and foremost.
He went onto argue that the best titles are those that manage to strike a balance between engaging gameplay and a compelling narrative.
"Games can have story (and many should, such as God of War) and most games - even pure play games - should have strong world and IP," he explained.
"But working on God of War made it clear that - for me - if we have to cut a set piece or bit of spectacle because of our desire to put play first, then so be it. Ideally, the BEST games are those that do both."
Jaffe reckons that the games that really cross over and sell in huge numbers aren't your Uncharteds and God of Wars, but titles that are focused on gameplay above all else.
"What is really interesting/telling, is that as much hype and fan love as the cinematic experiences get, it's the game-y games that sell and sell and sell. Look at Guitar Hero, MW3, Angry Birds, Farmville, Mario, Madden, Wii Sports, and on and on and on," read his post.
"The GAME STUFF sells buckets when it's themed right and executed well," he added. "The EXPERIENCE STUFF sells well too but not near as much as the GAMEY stuff and the EXPERIENCE STUFF costs a hell of a lot more to make in most cases."
Yes, it would seem the man has a sticky caps lock button.
