It's tenuous, but a fumbled Google translation of a Japanese report on stereoscopic 3D tech has led to reports that Sony could release its planned 3D update for PS3 on June 10.
Slapping AV Watch's report through Google translate brings up the sentence: "'LX900 Sun June 10, according to the release, PlayStation 3 and update, 3D stereoscopic gaming titles to launch' he said."
The "translation", to be fair, might as well be in Spanish, but it has a date and the words 'PS3 update' in the same sentence, so let's call it speculation-worthy - unless there are any Japanese-speaking CVG readers out there who'd be so kind as to translate it to actual English in the comments field below...
Sony has confirmed plans to release a 3D firmware update around the same time that the first 3D TVs are due to arrive - which is this summer.

Two new revisions to Sony’s PS3 that are expected to hit the market in March will offer a surprise new feature – less weight.
Andriasang reports that the new SKUs will weight exactly 3kg – 200g lighter than the current PS3 Slim’s 3.2kg. The new models will sport the serial numbers CECH-2000A and CECH-2100A.
Hardware revisions are common and the weight reduction likely stems from one or two internal component changes.
In the name of science, MCV can confirm that 200g is exactly the same weight as 200 paper clips or 200 one dollar notes.

Last night, during the -- super awkward -- Final Fantasy XIII launch party in San Fransisco, Sony's Rob Dyer took a big shot across the bow of any Microsoft representatives in the audience by promising a pending announcement of exclusive content for the PS3 version of the game.
Today, on PlayStation Blog, Dyer revealed that the PS3 version includes a "secret in-game item" for Final Fantasy XIV -- a similar, or perhaps the same promotion offered in Japan. Additionally, PS3 players can enter for a chance to beta test Final Fantasy XIV, which has only been announced for PS3 and PC.
The in-game item might be interesting (baby chocobo vanity pet, please), but we're not really enthralled by a "potential opportunity" to get in on the beta. A potential opportunity? So there's a chance that there's a chance we'll be able to get into the beta? Well that's slightly better than no chance of a chance, we suppose.

Much like the star it's named for, it seems the Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise isn't adverse to trying new things. EA has announced that the next iteration, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11, will support the PlayStation Motion Controller to "give gamers an authentic interactive swing experience."
There aren't any other details about Motion Controller implementation at the moment, but the game is slated for release on June 8 -- well before the Motion Controller's projected fall release. (And before you ask, no mention has been made of support for Microsoft's Project Natal.)
It may be less flashy, but series fans may be interested to hear the game will also feature the Ryder Cup, allowing for two 12-man teams to face off against each other.
We say 12-man, but we guess it could be 12 women against 12 men, right? Heck, maybe even 12 women against one man. Can you imagine, one guy trying to keep up with all those women? We sure can't.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 will be available on June 8 for Wii (with MotionPlus support), Xbox 360, PS3 and iPhone.

There are many PSP colors. Loads. And apparently, there will be one less.
According to a Japanese retail blog, the "bright yellow" PSP-3000 will not longer be shipped to shops. Released in 2009, it seems that the color is one of the least popular PSP-3000 colors, if not the least popular.
That probably means it won't be missed!

Well, it looks like Sony has a little treat for PS3 users now that they're able to turn their consoles back on -- it's just announced that it has signed up all six major studios to deliver HD movies on the PlayStation Network (the first company to do so, as Sony is happy to point out). That includes 20th Century Fox, Walt Disney Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. and, of course, Sony Pictures Entertainment, which combined have an initial slate of 19 HD movies available to buy or rent -- including "Fantastic Mr. Fox," "Star Trek," "District 9," "Inglourious Basterds," and "The Wizard of Oz," to name a few. Those are only available in the US at the moment, but Sony says it plans to also roll them out to the U.K., France, Germany, and Spain "soon."

Sega is working on even more Hatsune Miku: Project Diva downloadable content and their Dreamy Theater add-on is neat. This pack allows you to play Hatsune Miku: Project Diva with a PS3 controller on your TV.
PS3 controller support sounds similar to what Sony did with Resistance Retribution, which was released last year. Hatsune Miku: Project Diva’s Dreamy Theater has another addition – it outputs the PSP game directly on to a TV without a PSP to TV cable. The Dreamy Theater add-on appears to update the graphics too.

The budget for Santa Monica Studio's imminent PlayStation 3 exclusive God of War III has been placed at $44 million, according to an interview with director of product development John Hight
Speaking in an interview with website Giant Bomb, Hight commented: "We are stamping discs now, so we're effectively done, just got a couple of countries that we're finishing up on this week, and we've spent $44 million on God of War III."
"Believe it or not, that's right within budget," he added.
Soaring game budgets have been a key feature of the current generation of home consoles, with full price Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 releases often requiring a minimum budget of around $10 million.
Although publishers are usually reticent to reveal the exact budget of games the most expensive game ever is believed to be Grand Theft Auto IV at $100 million. The still unreleased Grand Turismo 5 already has a budget of $60 million, which is likely to rise as it nears launch.
Some of the most expensive games though have not necessarily been sales hits, with Sega's infamous Shenmue long holding the record for the most expensive game ever at $70 million.
The long gestation period of Silicon Knight's Too Human, and the cost of three format switches, racked up a budget of over $60 million.

Infinity Ward director of communications Robert Bowling has announced that the total number of unique users for Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has hit 25 million players.
Writing on Twitter, Bowling also stated that Modern Warfare 2 downloadable content details would be released this week.
Modern Warfare 2 was the best-selling title of 2009, with 11.86 million units sold in the U.S., UK and Japan alone, comfortably ahead of second placed title Wii Sports Resort on 7.57 million.
Also a critical hit, the title became the latest videogame to proclaim itself the biggest entertainment launch in history, with more than $1 billion in retail sales by November 2010.
The game's five-day gross of $550 million exceeded that of previous media record holders Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ($394 million) and Grand Theft Auto IV ($500 million).
Despite this success the last few weeks have been tumultuous for developer Infinity Ward, with the shock sacking of studio heads Jason West and Vince Zampella for unspecified "insubordination".
The pair are now suing Activision amidst accusations of "astonishing arrogance and unbridled greed" and suggestions that the legal row could postpone the release of future entries in the series.
The usually outspoken Bowling has yet to comment on the situation.
A recent statement from Activision suggests that there are currently three new Call of Duty titles under production: an unnamed 2010 project from series regulars Treyarch (rumoured to have a Vietnam or Cold War setting), a 2011 "action adventure" spin-off from new studio Sledgehammer Games and a third project thought to be developed by franchise originators Infinity Ward.

Newly released today:
features
New for Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake, select from four additional game multiplayer game modes, including Grim Ripper, Dilapidated, Demolition and Jailbreak
Change your character class at any time merely by swapping hats: Worker, Warrior, Ranger, Mage and Priest
Work together to collect resources to upgrade your weapons and castle defenses
Create your own personal avatar before you charge into battle. Unlock new customization options during gameplay
description
Franticly-paced and strategic, Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake pits two hordes of players against each other in comic medieval battle royale on PSP. The player’s goal is to rescue a beloved princess from the enemy castle. There is a catch, though; the adversary has been feeding her magical cake to make her heavier to carry. Therefore, it will take much of the army working together to carry her across the battlefield.
Team balance and strategy is crucial in Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake, as players can switch between five different character classes literally at the drop of a hat. The name of the game is cooperation, whether it is flinging another player over the enemy’s walls with a teeterboard, healing him while he charges into battle, or adding muscle to carry the hearty princess to safety.
The comical, quirky and loveable cast of characters in Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake has been developed specifically for optimization on PSP. Now players can have their cake, and take it on the go, too.
