The PS3 Slim might be getting all the attention today, but the new PSP Minis bite-sized games and PSP Digital Comics service are actually potentially game-changers as well -- so of course they get their own promo videos. Minis are 100MB or smaller games that will launch on the PlayStation Store the same day the PSP Go arrives, and while the launch lineup doesn't have any standout must-haves, we think they'll be quite popular. The real sleeper might be the Digital Comics service, though, which will launch with Marvel titles and eventually add more publishers -- although pricing and other details haven't been announced, we've got a feeling quite a few PSP owners will be into the idea of getting comics on the go. Innovative new ideas or clever reaction to games and ereaders on the iPhone? Hit the break, watch the videos, and sound off.

Sony has confirmed that the changes made to the new PS3 Slim SKU are not just cosmetic: additional features have been added, and OtherOS functionality has been removed. In this press release, the company confirms that support for the Linux platform has been completely omitted in the new unit, but also reveals that perhaps more usefully, the new unit now interfaces directly with Sony's own Bravia HDTVs, allowing users to take control of the XMB via their television remotes. It also allows you to turn off both display and PS3 using just a single press of the standby button. All that is required to utilise this feature is for the new PS3 to be connected to the display using the standard HDMI connection. The new functionality essentially makes the PS3's enviable media-playback facilities that much more accessible and user-friendly to those who also buy into Sony's range of screens. The omission of Linux is a little more puzzling, but perhaps not completely surprising. Actual take-up of Linux amongst the core audience has been slight, and perhaps some of the blame for this lies with Sony itself: installing the OS is time-consuming, the partitioning system on the internal hard disk is a bit of a pain, and access to Linux once it is installed is annoying to deal with, as there is no easy way to switch quickly between the PS3 GameOS or the installed OtherOS. The fact there is little to no meaningful access to the RSX graphics chip has also frustrated Linux users. Sony's blurb states that the focus of the PS3 Slim is "on delivering games and other entertainment content" and that this is the reason for OtherOS omission, but the fact is that Sony's business lives and dies on its installed base buying games for their new hardware, and a PS3 bought exclusively for running Linux does the company no favours from a financial perspective. Right now, the PS3 Slim is still more expensive than buying an entry-level Dell which would perform better with the OS, but with console hardware in general and PS3 Slim in particular, the only way is down price-wise, and sooner or later PS3 would become an irresistible prospect as a cheap desktop PC, or even server... uses which sound cool but won't boost Sony's bottom line. What the axing of Linux does mean however is that interesting projects such as the CodecSys h264 video encoder will not work on the new PS3 SKU, and any similar projects aimed at utilising the Cell CPU in a project not licensed and approved by Sony are now less likely to make it to the public. However, from Sony's perspective, the removal of OtherOS functionality also has other benefits. For example, it means that the PS3 can now no longer be used to rip Blu-ray movies to hard disk...

Sony could be lining up a 250GB model of its new slim PlayStation 3 which will be sold alongside the 120GB version, according to a legal filing,
The filing, reported by PS3 News, was made with the Federal Communications Commission back in May and lists four new PlayStation 3 models - two test versions and two production ones with 120GB and 250GB hard drives.
At this stage, all the move suggests is that Sony has submitted both console types for tests on its Bluetooth and Wi-fi equipment - a premium model is yet to be confirmed by the company.
What it has confirmed however, is that it won't be reinstating PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility into the new slim PlayStation 3 - that's "off the table" according to SCEA's John Koller.
People buy the console to play PlayStation 3 games, he told Kotaku. "Now that we're at a point where we're three years into the life cycle of the PS3, there are so many disc-based games that are available that we think - and noticed this from our research - that most consumers that are purchasing the PS3 cite PS3 games as a primary [reason].
"And it's not just like 50 or 60 percent. It's well into the 80 or 90 percentile range..." Koller continued. "Most of those are consumers who have not utilised their PS2 for a little while and they're ready to jump into the PlayStation 3."
Koller also confirmed he expects the slim PlayStation 3 to replace the original model in fairly short order. The 80GB SKU will disappear next month, he said, although 160GB PS3s might stay on shop shelves a little longer.

PlayStation 3's new USD 299/GBP 249 price point is the "sweet spot" for consumers, SCEA president and CEO Jack Tretton has said, offering unprecedented value on the market.
Furthermore, the console has reached significant milestones quickly, with a hardware revision being offered short of its third year, said Tretton, while similar revisions of the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 were only possible in their third and fourth years on sale.
"We're extremely pleased that we've been able to meet production efficiencies that have allowed us to pass those savings onto consumers," the exec said, during a video statement on Sony's US blog.
"We're very pleased that short of its third birthday, the PlayStation 3 has achieved tremendous milestones which have allowed us to bring out this new form factor."
The PlayStation 3's new price of GBP 249.99 - half that of its original launch price - will be effective immediately, Sony announced at its press conference in Cologne last night, while the new "slimmer, lighter form factor" will be available on September 1.
"We really think that USD 299 is the sweet spot when consumers think about all the features that exist in the PlayStation 3. There's just no better value on the market," said Tretton.
In terms of the PlayStation 3's competition, he continued, Sony sees itself as competing with any form of entertainment, not just Nintendo and Microsoft. And Tretton also confirmed the company considers the console still in its "infancy", with a long way yet to go.
"When we talk about competition, I think we're really competing with any form of entertainment, not only hardware devices within the gaming space, but clearly multimedia devices, portable and console-based. And we're competing with entertainment in general - we're just competing for people's free time.
"This device is less than three years old," he continued. "We're still in the infancy stage, especially for a company that consistently delivers ten year product life cycles.
"If you look at how far PlayStation 3 has come in terms of features, in terms of the great games that have been offered and to understand that's being done at half the original price with a 120GB harddrive being built in, with a new slimmer lighter form factor...
"It's staggering to think how far this has come in less than three years - and to envision how far it will go before this system is over and done with."

The PSPgo will retail at GBP 224.99 in the UK when launched on October 1, Sony has confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz.
This news follows Sony's press conference in Cologne yesterday, at which the company also released details of new 'Minis' games - small, 100MB downloadable games, which will be available to play on the PSP hardware.
In the US and Europe, the console has been priced at the same figure as its 2005 launch - USD 249 and EUR 249. Although the GBP 224.99 price point makes it more expensive than the original console was when launched in the UK.
Today, online retailers were listing the price of the standalone console at between GBP 224.99 and GBP 229.99, with no bundles presently on offer.

LightAlex has posted an entry into the Neoflash Summer 2009 Coding Contest:
Hi people,
This is my application entry for the Neoflash Summer competition.
Name: Light_AleX
Project name : PSN License Manager
From : Australia
Division : PSP APP
Original entry : Yes
Support Motion : No
In the last NEO Compo this project has won in the top 10 : No
Description:
A PlayStation Network License Manager for the PSP.
As the name suggests, this is a PlayStation Network License Manager for the PSP. Many people create accounts for each PlayStation Store in many regions to play some games only available on some regions.
This however, could mean overwriting of licenses from each region and effectively using up another of the five limited downloads Sony allows.
That is why this exists, it allows the easy and efficient backup of your licenses from each region right from your PSP without connecting to the computer to do it.

The lucky basts at engadget have gotten hold of a ps3slim already:
yes, we can hardly believe it ourselves, but Sony came a-knockin' at our door today, and we were more than willing to answer. The PlayStation 3 Slim is now official in-house, and it's a matte-laden beaut. Enough chitchat -- live vicariously through our unboxing and hands-on pics below!
Update: Some details for clarification. The buttons in the front are now physical and actually "click" in to function. The PS logo above the disc drive does not rotate for vertical use, and yes, the hard drive is swappable -- as you can see from the pictures, there's a screw on the bottom, hidden by a panel, that lets you take off part of the front for access. We've also lined it up against our standard, fatty PS3, and we gotta say, it's noticeably lighter. More details to come!

Heres one for Devs from jojojoris
Hello everyone,
I made a port of the newest libcurl to the PSP.
When you use this in your program make sure you are connected to an access point before you can use this lib.
INSTALL:
Unpack the package and run build.sh. The script will download the orginal files, apply a little patch, run configure, build the lib and finaly install the library in your pspsdk. After that you can use libcurl.
Ive no idea what libcurl is but then again im no coder so check out the site here for more info --> http://jojosoft.1free.ws/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9

Heres another release i found over at the ps2dev forums, this time from Nemesis:
hello guys!
i wanted to let you know that we - paradise - released a replayer for different oldschool module formats such as SMOD/FC14, YM, XM, MOD and IT.
the replayroutines itself are opensource by it's respective authors who are mentioned in the nfo file. also thanks to all people who help the sdk to be a little more comfortable every day.
we thought implementing/porting them to a psp player is a nice collection of routines that are worth to have with you 
you can get the package here. feel free to leave a comment here or at the archive. the controls are listed in fp_controls.txt.
report any bugs (please with a description of how they're reproducable) here or leave a message in our mailbox (see nfo for address).
regards,
nemesis

News/release from Aperture
Well, after enjoying so much from the great PSP community, I thought it was time to give something back.
Therefore, I am releasing Colditz Escape!, a rewritten game engine of the classic Amiga game " Escape From Colditz" for the PSP.
Just like Reminiscence or ScummVM, this engine requires you to provide your own data files (which should be fairly easy to find), but otherwise, it should be a fully functionnal port of the game.
Oh, and by the way, this is a dual platform port (PSP and Windows), and released under GPL v3.0.

News via http://streetskaterfu.blogspot.com/2...s-exploit.html
I just read through all information SONY gave @ GamesCom and found an interesting fact regarding the new PS3 "slim" SKU:
The new PS3 system will focus on delivering games and other entertainment content, and users will not be able to install other Operating Systems to the new PS3 system.
Why? There is no logical reason for removing the OtherOS function. Except the OtherOS contains a huge potential exploit which SONY can't fix without removing the complete function? We don't know, yet. At least the 3.0 firmware should not remove the OtherOS from the "fat" PS3 systems. The PlayStation3 originally is shipped international as computer system to save money at the toll. The only reason why it is handled as computer system is the OtherOS function.

GAMESCOM'09: Sony has used its Gamescom press conference to unveil 'Minis' for the PSP, which will see studios large and small developing bite sized games for the new iteration of the Sony handheld.
Aping the iPhone distribution model, Minis will allow fledgling developers with limited experience to create games for the PSPgo. At the time of writing it was unclear if Minis will be available for the standard PSP via PSN.
Currently developers including Gameshastra from India and Australia-based Halfbrick Studios are confirmed to be on board for the initiative, as is EA, which will start with release of Sudoku and Tetris ahead of other titles.
Minis will launch on October 1st, with 15 games available at launch. 50 titles are due before the year's end.
A video shown at the conference in Cologne, Germany, included a number of Minis titles in action.
