The much-rumoured PlayStation Phone will launch in March next year, so say anonymous Sony sources.
According to ITProPortal's insider, the gadget will be officially launched at Cebit 2011 in Germany - a global tech conference taking place between 1st and 5th March.
However, it'll also apparently be shown at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February.
Of course, last month a rumour circulated that Sony would be revealing the phone tomorrow, so who to believe?
Very little is known for sure about the new hardware but apparently the phone's screen is "on par" with the iPhone's Retina screen. It'll run Google's Android OS, with games priced at mobile game rates, not PSP rates.
Reports suggest it will cost around $500 (£318 approx), including five free games.

If you're of a certain age, there was one console you wanted more than any other: a Neo Geo. It was so big, so dark, and so freaking expensive it was like a gadget from another time -- yet there it was, looking down at you from behind the counter at Babbage's. $649 in 1990? Yeah. Ouch. Anyway, people today can now experience that machine's greatness for a much lower price, with the PlayStation Network receiving 10 of the system's greatest hits, each selling for between $6.99 and $8.99. Yes, these games were already available on the Wii Virtual Console, but the PSN versions will support online competitive and co-operative play, which is truly worth getting excited about. All games will be hitting the PS3 on December 21, while Fatal Fury and Metal Slug will be hitting the PSP then as well. For other games, like Magician Lord and Super Sidekicks, you portable folks will just have to wait until January.

PSP sales rose by more than 400 per cent in Japan this week after Capcom’s Monster Hunter Portable 3rd hit shelves.
Sony sold 325,528 PSPs from November 29th to December 5th, up from 75,689 the week before, VG247 reports.
The spike in sales is due in part to the Monster Hunter Portable 3rd PSP bundle. The game alone has shipped 2m copies in five days.

Sony has offered PlayStation Plus subscribers perhaps the premium service's most eye-catching deal yet: LittleBigPlanet spin-off Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves free of charge.
Plus subscribers will be able to download the PlayStation Move-compatible game a week before it goes on general release on 15th December. Wait, that's today!
The idea is for the person with the Move controller to flick switches to help people using the normal PS3 pad controls to progress.
As an additional treat, the LittleBigPlanet 2 beta will be extended – but only for PS Plus subscribers. "We were gutted we couldn't give you the first LBP2 beta exclusively but to hopefully make up for it a little, we have managed to persuade the guys to extend the LBP2 beta for you Plus members," PlayStation Network product manager James Thorpe said on the EU PlayStation Blog.
"The numbers are unfortunately limited but if you have been chosen then you should have already received an email and are hopefully playing, creating and sharing as we speak."
He added: "This is just the start of the December treats so keep your eyes open for another update very soon."
The PS3's PlayStation Plus service launched in the summer. It costs £39.99 annually - or £11.99 for 90 days.

Downgrading your PS3 MAY in SOME cases STOP you from watching any Blu-Ray movies! (Games still work!)
Quote by garyopa
Ok, we need to work on this Blu-Ray playback it is MAJOR PROBLEM!
I was able to restore one machine I had, by copying over all the files I had in the /dev_flash2 and /dev_flash3 back to the HDD, that I had saved before when it was on v3.41
But that does not help those that were on v3.50 factory fresh or with no previous full /dev_flash2 & 3 backup.
I not sure what file was that fixed the problem.
We need more machines, more tests.
I going start a thread and warn people right now!

The people having bluray movies playback issues after downgrading, this happens because you updated to a modified PUP (psjb one) which has its /dev_flash3/ tarball swapped (probably to a debug one, debug consoles do not sport bd movies playback) with other CRL/DRL revocation files.
Having read some posts online, it seems that majority of people who did downgrade, still have a working BD Playback for movies. Interesting. Could it be the downgrade files (modified 3.41 PUP) that is causing the problem?
*UPDATE to possible fix by Mathieulh*
Replacing /dev_flash3/ to a backup according to multiple accounts, fixed the problem.
However, the above method does no good for consoles that came pre-installed with 3.50 as there is no "dev_flash3" to backup from. You can also see what other people are using to downgrade, what consoles they're using and if they are affected over at PSX-Scene (Blu-ray player, does yours still work after downgrade).

On the eve of everyone screaming about the new v3.55 Firmware update, killing off the Downgrading PS3 consoles.
Sony has also been busy with new paperwork in a court room today, and have re-opened their case against the Jailbreakers in the United States.
Lucky, for everyone it is almost XMAS season, so the next big court date will be February 24, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. in front of Honorable Richard Seeborg which will now also take place in the Golden Gate city of San Francisco.
In the meantime SCEA is busy filing court papers and most likely new printouts from all the forum sites and other sites that have appeared in the last month with the outbreak of all these new fancy dongles and downgrades.
So it seems tonight, Sony is not happy with just releasing a v3.55 update, it looks like they plan a new court battle also, and we here at PSX-SCENE will keep you updated as SCEA starts filing their paperwork thruout the XMAS holidays.
Sony becomes the new Scrooge in our holiday books this year!

News via http://www.psp-hacks.com/2010/12/07/...ance-with-hbl/
Developer frillybob emailed this in yesterday — it’s a tweaked out version of gpSP for all you that are using Half Byte Loader. If ya don’t know, gpSP emulates the Game Boy Advance. What’s new in this version? Primarily tweaks to improve your overall GBA+HBL experience. Tweaks like:
•Speed boost for 6.20/6.30/6.31 users
•PRX in place for when TN-HEN gets released (not done of course)
•Less crashes with saving games (specifically Mario Party Advance, that’s what made me code this better for HBL)
•Added special HBL font (not in use, going to be later

PS3go finally released their downgrade update via the a9vg forum's! You can read our review HERE.
Source: P3Go
-----------------------------------------------
Last but not least, with the release of downgraders, KaKaRoTo has found out the TRUE USB > AAAA Device Key that is used by all downgrading service Jig dongles. There were many so-called "master keys" however, PS3YES! obfuscated the key, xor-ed it with 0x36 and swapped bytes 11 and 16. The real key is below.
0xAAAA dongle key:
04 4E 61 1B A6 A6 E3 9A 98 CF 35 81 2C 80 68 C7 FC 5F 7A E8
What does this mean for end-users? Nothing much except for the fact that now, the downgrader will be open source in the form of PSGrade by zAxis. PSGrade was a work in process (WIP) downgrader however, it was not working as he could not find the key that was needed...until now.
Source: KaKaRoTo Twitter
-----------------------------------------------
For your convenience, we have included PS3YES! (Fit to all at90usb162 8Mhz and 16Mhz boards), PS3Key, PS3USBJailbreak, P3Go and PSGrade open source files for the usual USB boards such as Teensy, Olimex, Blackcats, Minimus, etc.
REMEMBER THAT THIS DOES NOT REPLACE YOUR HERMES/KAKAROTO PAYLOADS. THIS IS NOT A REPLACEMENT.

EA CEO John Riccitiello has claimed that Blu-ray gaming is coming of age after a slow start - and that the format is beginning to "resonate" with gamers.
The capacity of Blu-ray has hit the headlines a few times this year - with large games that can be accommodated on a single PS3 Blu-ray requiring multiple Xbox 360 DVDs.
These have included Capcom's Lost Planet 2 and Konami's Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow - whose creators have spoken out against being forced into multi-disc releases. However, Microsoft maintains that it has no interest in adopting the format for Xbox in future.
"Interestingly enough I don't think Blu-ray resonated much with consumers when it was first part of the package," Riccitiello told Kotaku.
"I think [Blu-ray] is resonating now in a pretty big way, because a consumer doesn't have to buy two devices when they can get one and it's not multiple discs for a large game, it's one disc and the fidelity is higher. Sometimes the competitive advantage requires games to show it off to prove it's compelling."
Riccitiello is a self-confessed lover of the console war. He added that his "favourite outcome" of large hardware manufacturers including Apple, Sony and Microsoft doing battle was "a gigantic war for which we sell the bullets".
The exec said the Blu-ray example - of a format coming good when games can show off its advantages - meant we should be optimistic for PSP2's reported super-powers.
"So reading in a press release that [PSP2's] as powerful as a high-end console in your pocket is sort of a little flat," he commented. "Look at it the first time; when you actually see it happening it can be awfully compelling."

The rapid rise of mobile gaming, particularly on Apple's iOS devices, is stealing "significant" market share from the DS and PSP, which are beginning to "stagnate".
That's according to Courtney Johnson, research and analysis manager at industry research firm Interpret, speaking on the results of a recent US survey.
"Devices which satisfy a variety of entertainment and utility are fast outstripping single-function devices as consumer favorites," said Johnson, based on the responses of 9000 poled.
He acknowledges that gaming as a whole is on a "meteoric rise", while "Sony PSP and Nintendo DS stagnate".
Another recent survey conducted by research firm Neilson concluded that the iPad is the most wanted technology product among US kids aged 6-12.
And earlier this year Epic VP Mark Rein said the smartphones and tablets like iPad and iPhone "are the consoles of the future", seemingly optimistic over the devices' download-only systems and cheaper software price points.
"I'd rather sell 10 million games at $25 and have a chance to sell DLC than 5 million at $50 on a disc that gets traded around," he said.

You thought Sony wouldn't try and stop this? Sony has just pushed 3.55 firmware update to all PS3 consoles.
A new PS3 system software update, v3.55, will be released soon. This is a minor update that adds a security patch.
Some have thought it was because of the recent news of X3Max's 3.50 jailbreak. However, how can Sony block something that has yet to be released? So the obvious reason for the update is because of the downgrader that was released last week by PS Jailbreak.
The FACTORY SERVICE MODE still works using an E3 Card Reader or Original PS Jailbreak, but the (lv2diag.self file_1) has been revoked by Sony if the system is v3.55. So there is no downgrading but the second file (lv2diag.self file_2) was not. So at least Sony does not want you stuck in FACTORY SERVICE MODE and allows the user to return his machine back to a normal state to be able to go back online and play games.

Google's really been big today on emphasizing that Gingerbread is better than ever for game development, and that's already bearing itself out thanks to a page culled from the Android 2.3 SDK where we see a handful of new keycodes in the system clearly targeted for gaming: L1, L2, R1, R2, Select, Start, and so on. Does it have anything to do with the Sony Ericsson Zeus Z1 and all the PlayStation phone noise, though? We imagine it lays some of the groundwork, but all told, it's hard to say -- after all, PlayStation famously uses shapes for its primary controls, and we wouldn't be surprised if Sony were working on a separate development environment of some sort for PlayStation-branded titles rather than letting it all flow through the official Android SDK proper. We also don't yet know whether Sony Ericsson's gaming efforts are coming in the Gingerbread or the Honeycomb timeframe (though we're definitely expecting news next February at MWC), but one way or another, game devs should find it a little easier now to map the controls they need.

Netflix caused a lot of head scratching in October when it started rolling out its new, disc-free Netflix experience for the PS3. Namely, different people were getting a different UI, and there didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the differentiation. Well, it turns out Netflix was flexing a bit of its HTML5 muscle, rapidly testing different experiences to see which ones worked best for users, all without having to push out app updates or back-end changes to accommodate its indecision. Apparently, Netflix's engineers actually ported WebKit to the PS3 to make all this possible, and hopefully it's a sign of things to come in the HTML5 iPhone, iPad, and Android apps -- which could probably use some serious sprucing, or even a bit of scattered rapid prototyping just to relieve the monotony. It's also seems to be good news for other PS3 apps which can lean on the framework -- presumably VUDU's own HTML5-based UI took advantage of this when it landed on the PS3 in November. What we'd really love is if Sony and Google are secretly in cahoots to bring the entirety of Chrome and its couch-friendly Google TV UI with it. Hey, we can dream, right?

Sony's going to update your PS3 hard-drive any moment now with a new dollop of firmware.
Yet all patch v3.55 adds is boring security.
Ah, but security for what? Perhaps a global digital virus is spreading and will devour the PlayStation 3! Or maybe I'm just filling space.
Note that you may need update 3.55 before you can apply the new Gran Turismo 5 patch.
That's it. Get out.

News via http://emu-russia.net/en/
NEC TurboGrafx-16/PCEngine/CD emulator for PlayStation 3/Android/iOS/WebOS has been updated. Changes:
- Reworked On-screen controls, now taking physical screen size in account and shouldn't become giant on tablet-style devices in theory (unfortunately I have no such devices for testing yet).
- Added On-screen controller configuration. Select blend level, size (in millimeters), d-pad position, I/II button position.
- Android: Fixed some incorrect caching of Java objects potentially causing crashes
- iOS: Removed legacy NSTimer code, now requires at least iOS 3.1
- iOS: Improved CADisplayLink implementation hopefully fixing menu flickering on - 3GS and improving battery life when the display is idle.
