The Opposable Thumbs blog reports on a confluence of rumors and information leaks that suggest Sony will be unveiling a PS3 Slim sooner rather than later. Despite waning console sales, orders for PS3-related hardware have risen sharply. There's evidence to suggest that Sony is phasing out its 80GB model, which would help clear the way for a hardware revision. Some expect the official announcement to come as early as August 18th, during the gamescom expo in Germany.

As a user of games, I was already worried about what I'm going to tell you, but since Friday July 31, and I'm not worried, because my PS3 to death, and I collected information from the last 2 weeks over 14 cases equal to mine.
The all powerful Japanese company Sony has sinned, and not for the first time, to build and sell hardware with an expiration date.
Because if once the first units of PlaySation 1 killed by an error in the power supplies, and PlaySation 2 stopped reading discs, now the new PlaySation 3 suffer a design error that condemns that sooner or later all PlaysSation 3 will be stop of work.
This bug has a name YLOD (Yellow Light of Death), the name given by the community of Internet users to an error that is roughly the same error that occurred in the Microsoft Xbox 360 (in this case known as RROD, acronyms Red Ring of Death in Spain known as the 3 red lights).
As we said, this error is the same as that of Microsoft, both in cause and effect, whether the machine that Microsoft error occurred by a mistake coming to overheat leading to the death of the system after short-circuiting desoldarse partially integrated into the system from Sony is about the same result, although there are differences as they occur.
The death of the system in the X360 could produce (and this was in a high percentage of the occasions on which it was presented), after continued use of the system, and in poorly ventilated places, bringing temperatures climb to the temperature critical error, which usually occurred within the warranty period of the system, as Microsoft discovered its error, in addition to assuming his guilt, served with an unusual sense, and should be common practice, increasing the security of system to 3 years which cover a large percentage of these RROD and compensating those who had to pay to repair your money back from repair, and as I said the error is no longer present in new models of Microsoft (at least for those causes).
The demise of the PS3 has a different way that seems almost deliberately to stay out of warranty. Apparently, the cooling system of the PS3 is far better than the Microsft, which limits the sudden death by a high number of hours of gameplay, but does not eliminate the problem, but merely delay it.
In the PS3 to reach a certain temperature, make a slight curvature of motherboard of the system, and make a slight separating what would be the cooling system of the processor (the appointed as Cell BE) and graphics card, it's come to this point where the PS3 has the hours, then finish with the same error as the X360
The main difference is that the best system of ventilation, the most compelling PS3 takes about 2 years to experience this error, with a average use of the system (2 years and 4 months, with 10 hours of game viewing or video a week in my case), and then the PS3 system are outside the warranty .
What Sony has yet to assume his guilt and isn´t providing an extended warranty, because that clearly is an error in the design and manufacture of the system (the Internet community is large and includes engineers, technicians and experts that they arrive at this conclusion, i don´t say source, you only look at your favorite Internet browser to find it).
And what is even worse, if Sony not recognize this error, and they have not announced yet whether this problem has been corrected in later models, it's likely that all PlayStation 3 that are being sold will have the same problem.
I hope that these paragraphs discharges here to make Sony take their share of guilt and to stop these errors, which in my particular case I have to buy another system (in Spain leaves the repair of 230 € with 1 years warranty PS3 now costs € 330 with 2 year warranty, of course I prefer to take a further year by paying € 100 more), and in the past I payed over 600 euros for PS3, and since then I bought about 50 games for her and 10 Blue-Ray movies, which otherwise would no longer enjoy.
Sincerely, Allen Schezard, PSN Id: Schezard.
NOTE: This text is based on personal research conducted, and browsing through hundreds of websites or speaking English or Spanish to find a solution to the failure of my PS3, which has guided me to the view that there is definitely a design problem .

Just got a build of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona and it came with brand spankin’ new firmware. The disc had a mandatory update to PSP Firmware 5.55.
The last public update was PSP Firmware 5.51, which came out in June. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona comes out in September, which probably means Sony has plans to release new firmware in North America real soon.

So, Sharp, you introduced the world's first HDTV line with integrated Blu-ray players last year, what are you going to do next? Only naturally, the Japanese lineup of DX2 series one-ups the original DX by adding Blu-ray recording as well. It doesn't appear that these pack the LED backlighting of the new X-Gen based displays headed our way this fall, so for now buyers will have to make do with the 15,000:1 contrast ratio shared with the other D-series televisions. Still, the big deal here is that the 1080p (52-, 46- and 40-inch) and 720p (32- and 26-inch) displays will burn up to 30 hours of HD video on dual-layer Blu-ray discs, by way of transcoding and compressing to MPEG-4 format without any messy external boxes or wires. The price range from ¥170,000 ($1,740) at the low end to ¥480,000 for the largest size when these ship September 15 but don't count on seeing them on this side of the Pacific (or the Atlantic.)

Konami has confirmed to Eurogamer that it is reissuing old PlayStation 2 games to shops, as suspected by one of its readers.
"They are proper reissues," a spokesperson told our sister site. "Konami has put them out at budget price because of demand. They are re-manufactured. They are ours."
Those PS2 games are Suikoden Tactics, Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. And they will soon be joined by Silent Hill 2, 3 and 4.
"We've manufactured certain amounts depending on the title," the spokesperson added, "and they're being bought by wholesalers so will likely pop up in independent rather than chain stores."
The games will be priced between GBP 10 and GBP 20, according to the source.

Do you like Rock Band Unplugged? Do you like ... buying a new PSP? If so, you'll be pleased to hear this. According to Destructoid, Best Buy's PSP Go listing mentioned a free voucher for a download of Rock Band Unplugged. If it was in the listing, it has since been removed. We've contacted Sony to determine the truth of this rumor.
If this turns out to be true, then the PSP Go won't cost $80 more than a PSP -- it'll just cost $50 more than a PSP Rock Band Unplugged Entertainment Pack, which sounds better. The existence of a current PSP/Rock Band bundle makes this more plausible, as well.
Update: Looks like the PSP Go will only be bundled with a Rock Band Unplugged demo -- not the full game, as seen by this image from thatgamecompany's forums.

Perhaps this update will never see the light of day, whether that be from Sony’s website or via Network Update; however, G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra UMD comes pressed with firmware 5.55, much like IdolM@ster SP and 5.05. Currently, as confirmed in the below video, 5.55 is required to run G.I. Joe. But really, we all know that’ll be hacked/bypassed in due time.

The PSARDumper of Dark_AleX has been updated so that decrypts files from 5.50 firmware. However, not all decrypts, because we did not reverse engineer the files containing the keys of the firmware, the truth, we do not believe that what we will do and we understand that there are websites, people, ... that have already completely decoded.

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced the availability of the new Limited Edition Hannah Montana PSP (PlayStation Portable) Entertainment Pack. Specifically designed for the fashion-forward "tween," the Limited Edition Hannah Montana PSP Entertainment Pack includes the new "Lilac" PSP-3000 system, Disney Interactive's Hannah Montana: Rock Out The Show video game, three Hannah Montana episodes on UMD (Universal Media Disc), a 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo, and fashionable vinyl stickers to customize the PSP system for $199.99 (MSRP).
"The gaming world has traditionally been a male domain, but today we're seeing more and more female gamers, particularly on portable devices," says John Koller, SCEA's Director of Hardware Marketing. "While SCEA has a broad range of PSP owners from under 12 to over 45 years old, we saw a tremendous opportunity for us to connect with the female and 'tween' demographic and create a PSP system that girls will love. The new Limited Edition Hannah Montana PSP Entertainment Pack plays a central role in SCEA's larger 'Girlz Play Too' initiative and we're committed to bringing a steady stream of female-friendly content to consumers."
As part of SCEA's "Girlz Play Too" marketing initiative, a highly targeted television, print and digital campaign focused on female gaming will appear throughout the fall. In addition, SCEA has launched a "Girlz Play Too" specific Web destination (www.girlzplaytoo.com) in which girls can discover and explore all of the multimedia features available on the PSP system.
With PSP games such as Ubisoft's Petz line, MTV Games' Rock Band Unplugged, LittleBigPlanet PSP and Buzz! Quiz World making their way to shelves this year, girls and women alike can enjoy a broad range of fun, pick-up-and-play games on the PSP system. The PlayStation Network offers more than 200 downloadable games, such as Patapon 2, Flow and Echochrome, which appeal to female gamers with more on the way. In addition, the PlayStation Network's video delivery service enables PSP owners to choose from 2,000 movies and 10,500 TV shows for everyone in the family, giving PSP users access to download their favorite video content directly onto their PSP system.

News via http://emu-russia.net/en/
Sony Playstation emulator for Windows has been updated. Changes:
- Lua scripting.
- Fixed a possible cause of desync in GPU_writeDataMem; only seen when frameskip was enabled (for ex. with Fast Forward). As a side effect of this, - - Fast Forward is now ~25% slower.
- Screenshots are now taken correctly and they get saved as PNG.
- Added "-lua" command line option.
- Added "Maximum Speed", "Run Lua Script", "Stop Lua Script" and "Reload Lua Script" hotkeys. They will need to be remapped if you've used previous versions of PCSX-RR.
- Various minor improvements in the "-RR" code.
- My computer gets 10% slower due to the "pcsx.exe.manifest" file, so it doesn't come within the release archive anymore. You may want to remove it from your PCSX-RR folder too if you have a slow system.

According to a recent trademark for P.S. Thanks, probably short for PlayStation Thanks, it seems that way. The trademark filed by Sony Computer Entertainment is for use with an “incentive rewards program” which identifies and motivates the top consumer base.
There are a number of ways Sony could incentivize their customer base. They could hand out points for each item purchased and reward frequent buyers with PlayStation products sort of like Club Nintendo. Or they could quantify top players by skill via trophies and reward them. The latter seems less likely since they’re targeting the “top consumer base” or in other words top purchasers.
What kind of prizes could Sony offer? Games seem likely, but if such a program exists Sony will probably throw in a few mega prizes. Last year Sony rewarded their fans in Southern California by passing out E3 invites at their PlayStation Blog meet up.

Looks like those Sony 2TB memory sicks we warned you about way back in January are finally coming to pass, and Sony Insider has dug up the details. As appearing on Sony's oss-formats.org site, the Memory Stick XC keeps the current form factor for memory sticks (most likely these guys will be backwards compatible) with the XC series (XC Duo, XC-HG Duo, XC Micro (M2 XC), XC-HG Micro (M2 XC-HG)) using the exFAT file system, and the PRO series (including the PRO Duo, PRO-HG Duo, Micro (M2), HG Micro (M2-HG)) using the tried and true FAT12/16/32. Memory freaks can thrill to the specifications for the new class after the break.

Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello has said the company is "positive" on the opportunities offered by both Microsoft's Natal and Sony's motion controller, stating the company will support both.
"We're really positive on both," said the exec during a call to investors following the release of EA's Q1 financials.
"Our view is that motion-based gaming is something that is both going to drive install base, drive interest and drive growth. We’re positive overall."
He added: "We’re planning to support both. We haven’t yet announced our plans to do so, but we shall do so in the right time-frame for that, which is likely to be early-to-mid-2010."
Riccitiello's comments, reported by VG247, follow recent rumours Natal will be released towards the end of 2010. Sony's motion controller is scheduled for spring 2010.

After Monday's story about intrusive, loading-screen ads being retroactively added to the PSN racing title Wipeout HD, the popular uproar has indeed succeeded in getting Sony to pull them. You can put your pitchforks down; your voice has been heard! A Sony spokesman said, 'The ad has been removed from Wipeout HD and we are investigating the situation to ensure that any in-game advertising does not affect gameplay.
