Sony has launched a new section of PlayStation.Blog where users can submit new ideas and feature suggestions for PlayStation products.
PlayStation.Blog Share allows users to post their own ideas and also vote on the suggestions of others, with Sony promising to monitor and act upon the most popular.
The FAQ for the site claimed that Sony is looking for "any idea that will help make the PlayStation experience better. Period. Game title ideas. PS3 ideas. PlayStation Home ideas. Hey, maybe even PlayStation.Blog ideas!"
Currently the most popular three suggestions are cross game voice chat, software emulation for PlayStation 2 games and auto-synching of Trophies.
Users will initially be restricted to one submission per day, in order to ensure a variety of submissions, but the most popular authors will be placed in an online leaderboard.
At the same time as the new service was announced site administrators have warned of a "crack down on Blog comments", with moderation for off-topic comments becoming "much more strict".
The site is currently only featured on the US version of PlayStation.Blog but any user with a valid PSN ID is allowed to post. Region-specific versions of the service are currently under consideration.

Square Enix Europe are pleased to announce that FINAL FANTASY® XIII has become the fastest selling title in the FINAL FANTASY franchise history in the UK and also the fastest selling UK game of 2010 so far*.
The news comes on the heels of the announcement last week that the sell-in shipment of the game has exceeded the five million unit milestone worldwide. Cumulative global shipments of the FINAL FANTASY series have now reached 96 million units since the first game was launched over two decades ago.
The latest part in the multi-award winning FINAL FANTASY series was released on 9 March 2010 in the UK for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system as well as the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system by Microsoft.
“It’s great to see FINAL FANTASY XIII hitting the top of the UK charts and setting the pace as the fastest selling game of the year,” said Jon Brooke, UK Marketing Director. “With high profile TV spots playing out beyond Easter and branded buses still travelling the country I’m positive this title is only going to get bigger and bigger.”
The FINAL FANTASY series stands out thanks to its ongoing evolution. Only the best creative ideas, the best graphics standards and the best gameplay systems, which are available at the time when a new part in the series is developed, are included in the game. This tradition has been continued in FINAL FANTASY XIII.
FINAL FANTASY XIII is also the fastest and biggest selling console game in Germany in 2010 (source: Media Control GFK International) and the best selling console game in France in 2010 so far (source: GFK France).

via Eurogamer
Rockstar has announced that The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony have been delayed on PC and PS3 due after Sony asked for some changes.
The two downloadable episodes, and the boxed Episodes from Liberty City version, will now be released on 13th April in North America and 16th April.
Related events, including Rockstar Social Club multiplayer sessions on PSN and Games for Windows Live, will now take place on 16th/17th April.
The official statement says the delay is "due to a last-minute game submission request from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe to edit some of the in-game Liberty City radio station, television and internet content," although it doesn't say what specifically.
The tone of the post is a bit frustrated in places. "Unfortunately, with each round of changes comes fully re-testing the game and a full re-submission to PlayStation.
"This is the nature of the game submission process. Believe us, if we could expedite the turnaround any sooner - we would.
"We are dying to get this game in the hands of fans who've waited for it for so long in the first place."
Of course, the long wait was down to an exclusivity agreement with Microsoft that saw both episodes appear on Xbox 360 first - The Lost and Damned in February last year and Gay Tony in late October.

Kickin’ up dust is KiNgOfUnIvErS and his PSNKiller plugin. Now contrary to the name, PSNKiller doesn’t kill anything, in fact it brings life and joy by enabling online PSN play for select titles, much like Red Hate and Smokin’s PSNABLER.
Best of all — PSNKiller reportedly works with WPA-encrypted networks; something PSNABLER had a problem with. But if it ain’t one thing, it’s a-mother-****in-nother… According to the FAQ, 5.50 GEN-D3 users — things may not go as planned. If you get this error, “You Must Login to PSN” and when you try there’s another error, then you need to do the following (at your own risk):
Downgrade to 5.50 GEN-D2
Login to PSN on 5.50 GEN-D2
Boot to the recovery console and connect USB on Flash1
Copy the “registry” folder to your PC
Upgrade to 5.50 GEN-D3 again
Boot back to the recovery console and connect USB Flash1
Copy the “registry” folder that you backed up in step 4 to Flash1 overwriting it
Try getting online now.
Otherwise install PSNKiller like you would any other plugin. Copy the “PSNKiller” directory to the root of your memory stick and add the appropriate line to ms0:/seplugins/game.txt.
ms0:/PSNKiller/UniPSNKiller.prx 1

News via http://xorloser.com/?p=297
After using the XorHack for a while I realised it was missing some things so I decided it was time for an update. New syscalls have been added to give finer control over data access, now providing 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit reads and writes. Also some new ioctls were added to provide additional useful functions for your userland code. Lastly new userland applications were added which now give the ability to read, write and execute memory from the command line
Hypervisor Exploit Changes
At the innermost level some more syscalls are now added to the hypervisor when initially exploiting the PS3. These use different syscall numbers to the previous exploit code in order to group them all together rather than scattering them all over the place. This should make keeping track of them easier. There are now nine syscalls added to the PS3 upon exploiting. These are added as syscalls 32 to 40 inclusive. Previously syscalls 16 and 20 were used for 64bit peek and 64bit poke, but these syscalls are no longer setup.
Kernel Module Changes
In the middle level I added interfacing support to the nine new syscalls as well as a new ioctl to let user apps convert lpar addresses to real addresses and yet another to let user apps perform an ioremap on memory. I also fixed the syscall that executes code via a real memory address since previously it wasn’t saving the link register, which is not good.. Lastly I tracked down the problem I was having with calling ioctls from userland code. It turns out there are issues sending ioctls to a 64bit kernel from 32bit userland code. When you send the ioctl from your userland code there is a hidden function that attempts to “make it compatible” before sending it on to the kernel. This was transparently causing some ioctls to not make it to my kernel code. Things like this are why I hate linux hehe. It looked like fixing this was going to require a rebuild of sections of the kernel, so instead I brute force tried all ioctl numbers until I found a nice bunch that made it through ok and settled for using them instead. When sending these ioctls a handle to the XorHack device is used, so I am not too worried about them going astray and wreaking havoc.
User Library changes
Finally the on outermost level I added support for calling the new syscalls to read and write 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits at a time. In doing so I support unaligned addresses without the user having to check or worry about such things. If the address being accessed is aligned it will access it in a single syscall of the specified size. If the address is unaligned it will either use multiple syscalls or a syscall of a larger access size. I also added functions to easily check if the system has been exploited yet, to perform the lpar address to real address translation, io-remapping of addresses and to execute code at a given real address. A new header file xorhack_sc.h was added which contains translations between syscalls as they would be used in kernel mode and the userland interface. I have only done a few here, but it should be enough to follow the pattern and create translations for any other syscalls. If anyone does complete these translations, please send it to me to include in the next version of XorHack.
Sample Application Changes
As well as the above additions and changes to userland code I have added three new command line applications; ps3peek, ps3poke and ps3exec which allow reading, writing and executing of memory. The ps3peek and ps3poke tools work in a similar fashion. Both are able to perform 8bit, 16bit, 32bit and 64bit data accesses and can access multiple amounts of the data size in one call. The ps3peek tool can print data to screen as hex values and ascii characters similar to the display of a hex editor, or be printed as binary data and redirected into a file. The ps3poke tool does not print data to screen but can write data to memory from values passed on the command line or values read from a file.
Here are some examples of what these tools can be used for.
Dumping the hypervisor
This reads 0×10000000 bytes (16MB) of data starting at address zero using a data access size of 8 bytes (64bits) and prints it in binary form which gets redirected into the hvdump.bin file. Note that the 64bit access is used since it requires 8 times less syscalls to get the same amount of information as if we used the default 8bit access.
ps3peek 0 -s 0×1000000 -d 8 -b > hvdump.bin
Reading the status register for spu0
ps3peek 0×20000044024 -d 4
Loading metldr..
Scripts can be written using ps3peek, ps3poke and ps3exec and utilising files to store values between calls. By doing so many tasks can be done such as the setting of the required registers to load metldr.

News via PSPGEN..
If you're one of the new members of the community underground, do not worry we will resume here the main points of why exploits.
Since the arrival of new motherboards with waterproof kit SDC / XGen pandora, the only way to hack the laptop from Sony is ... using a fault. This is not new and every system has flaws. Today, the goal of PSP developers is to find one that will run unsigned code (as chickHEN of Davee) to patch the installed RAM and a subsequent custom firmware not permanent.
So the arrival of the PSP Go (and 6.20firmware) which opened hunting faults and unfortunately many dissemination fakes. However some videos we challenge and deserve the benefit of the doubt.
Today is the turn of a Japanese man who carries the nickname Maku to present his feat. The Japanese helped Wololo and Mamosuke, would not only found a flaw in a demo but as a way to exploit by launching a HelloWord. It is obvious that the name of the demo is hidden and will probably not immediately disclosed, but the video shows the first image of the game and after a few seconds during which the author gets on the PSP buttons, hiding the screen, the HelloWord. To show that this is not a fake, the author returns to the XMB via the home button and proves that this is not a video.
Last thing before you show the exploit, an exploit remember, is not a custom firmware or HEN. There are many exploits but very few are usable in order to run an HEN or something. Finally, the video shows a feat on a type of PSP not determined (1000, 2000 or 3000), we do not know if this exploit is running on a PSP GO.
Here finally the video showing the exploit in action:

We’ll likely never know whether Arc was never its name, was a temporary codename or was indeed dropped due a rumoured trademark dispute – but Sony has at least looked to explain its reasoning behind the name PlayStation ‘Move’.
“It's great – everyone's so interested in how our company names products,” Sony Worldwide Studios VP Scott Rohde told IndustryGamers.
“It's like at any other company; everyone dumps in their ideas and you've got agencies out there coming up with names.
“At the end of the day, we really felt that Move conveyed what the controller is all about. It's a word that the smallest kid understands, and it's a really good name. I'm happy with it.”
That logo definitely looks like an ‘A’, though…

Can the PlayStation Move succeed in convincing Wii gamers to give up on Nintendo’s console and invest in a PS3? The answer to that all depends on who you ask.
Sony thinks so. In fact, on the very same night it unveiled Move it laboured on this very point.
Yesterday, however, Nintendo’s American boss Reggie Fils-Aime questioned the idea that owners already enjoying Wii would in fact be motivated to invest hundreds of dollars in a new console.
Sony’s isn’t having it, though. When asked by IndustryGamers if Wii owners are likely to want to ‘upgrade’, Sony Worldwide Studios VP Scott Rohde stated: “I think so, sure.
“That's definitely an audience that we're targeting. One of the beauties of the PS3 with the whole ad campaign, ‘It Only Does Everything’, there's a lot to that.
“It could mean that a lot of families bring it into the house because it's a Blu-ray player, and Move is just another reason for them to bring it into the house. Maybe someone is sitting on the fence about whether or not to upgrade to PS3 and this could lead them to do it.

Q-Games's new PixelJunk Racers content, dubbed 2nd Lap, will be released in April.
It will be a separate download available to owners of the original game for "a very small amount" - probably dollar or two, according to Q-Games boss Dylan Cuthbert (talking to GiantBomb). New players will need to pay the full, unknown price.
2nd Lap adds Trophies, YouTube video support and lowers the overall difficulty for a more "approachable" experience.
The biggest new feature is Ghost Attack mode, which automatically records a ghost to go with a time. These can be shared with friends and posted to the worldwide rankings board, where anybody can drive against them.
Q-Games' idea for 2nd Lap was to bring PixelJunk Racers up to parity with newer games like PixelJunk Eden and PixelJunk Shooter, which are both worth a look.
