News/release from StreetskaterFU
As I didn't found a good Linux USB logger I coded a very very simple one myself. It logs the USB traffic of every port. To run the application you need atleast kernel version 2.6.11. To start the program go to the terminal, change to the folder the "usblogger" is in and enter: "sudo ./usblogger". It won't run without root privileges. Don't try to run this under Windows or Mac, its Linux-only!
The idea behind was an easy way to log any USB actions of for example the gameos, or the PSP under Linux. To sniff gameos USB you will need a USB cable with 2 male sides. Plug it in PS3 and PC and start the logger on PC.
Here a few ideas what to test:
- PS3 USB at PS3 boot sequence
- PS3 USB to PC fake external HDD
- PSP USB at PSN Store downloads
- etc.
Changelog 0.6:
- view log option
- library dependencies check
- 32Bit version added
Download: 32 Bit || 64 Bit
As it's not "1.0-final" yet there may still be some bugs etc. You can report bugs or ideas what to implement here: skfuinfo@googlemail.com
Also some features are still missing, I'll add them soon and post the updated version.

If you're a PS3 owners who loves some crossover Musou, you'll want to sit down for this. Retail listings in Japan have popped up for Musou Orochi Z, said to be a new PS3 entry in the series that's known internationally as Warriors Orochi. The title is apparently due for Japanese release on March 12 and will carry a price of 7,560 yen.
Koei hasn't formally announced the title, so consider this just a rumor for now. We'll let you know if we hear anything more solid.

Sony has told Eurogamer that it will release a European demo of Killzone 2 through PlayStation Network, but cannot confirm exactly when, or what will be included in the demo.
However, a source close to the publisher told us that if it clears QA in time, the demo will almost certainly be released in Europe before the game.
That's in contrast to the US, where the demo is subject to an exclusivity agreement that means consumers will only be able to get hold of it before release by pre-ordering from GameStop.
A spokesperson for Sony America confirmed that to PS3Fanboy overnight, adding that the demo will appear on PSN there after launch.
Killzone 2 is due out in February, but Sony has yet to confirm an exact release date. Check out our Killzone 2 gamepage for our latest hands-on previews, trailers, screenshots and more.
And look out for our Killzone 2 review in the coming weeks.

New special offer from Play Asia:
An American TV crew has arrived in Japan to film an expose on the legend of the “vanished village.”
Controlling seven different playable characters, the player must uncover the mystery behind the curse that grips the eerie village of Hanuda.
The unique “sight jack” system allows the player to see from the point of view of the Shibito, or living dead, to avoid their detection or watch as they close in on the player and companions.
Intense graphics, realistic character animation, and a gritty film-like graphical presentation add to the horror of Siren: Blood Curse.
All twelve episodes of horror are included in this one Blu-Ray Disc. Sick of getting them off the network bit by bit? Get this disc and taste the true meaning of horror. Siren: New Translation is voiced and subtitled fully in English, and is chosen as this week's special product.
Set at an unbeatable bargain price of US$ 24.90 only, Siren: New Translation is available on PlayStation3 as a region free Asian version.

Disgaea 2 is being ported for the PSP. You already know this. Right after we caught the announcement from Nippon Ichi’s head office in Japan I asked NIS America if they had any plans to bring it to us. Nao Zook, Marketing Coordinator, told us, “Well, at this moment, all I can say is that we won’t disappoint our fans who are waiting for Disgaea 2 PSP :-).” Infer what you want from the smiley face.
Disgaea 2 Portable tacks on a bunch of new content not found in the PS2 game like a whole scenario starring Axel, the Dark Hero.
No Disgaea port is complete without a few cameos. Disgaea 2 Portable adds at least Lord Zetta (Makai Kingdom), Prier (La Pucelle Tactics), and Mid Boss to Adell’s team.
As we mentioned before the magichange system where monsters can transform into weapons from Disgaea 3 is also part of Disgaea 2 Portable.
Also it looks like Disgaea 2 Portable, well at least this version of it, may not have any multiplayer features. A quick glance on the Japanese page says the game only supports one player.
You may not be aware of this, but there are actually two versions of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness in Japan. Originally, the Disgaea PSP port did not have a multiplayer feature. A year later Nippon Ichi re-released it with multiplayer as budget version of Disgaea Portable. NIS America spared us this fate and just released the multiplayer ready version of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness. This delayed the domestic release about a year, but at least we didn’t have to buy the game twice. Perhaps, the same thing will happen with Disgaea 2 Portable?

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has a little feature where they asked twenty two game industry figures a simple question “What are you looking forward to most on PlayStation in 2009?” David Reeves, President of SCEE, cites Heavy Rain and Killzone 2 as blockbuster titles to look forward to. Killzone 2 topped this list with seven mentions, but this number may be skewed since two of those people directly worked on Killzone 2. Heavy Rain, Resident Evil 5, and Street Fighter IV also got mentioned a handful of times.
What is strange about the list is the absence of PSP games. Shouldn’t one of the executives from the Sony side give a direct nod to at least one of their PSP projects? After all the PSP is part of the PlayStation family. Instead Reeves says, “PSP will continue to prosper and sell in incredible numbers, with some great games coming out, which will take full advantage of the new enhanced screen.” Shuhei Yoshida, President of Sony Worldwide Studios, says, “On PSP, we have new titles and innovations that will connect and expand the PlayStation experiences.” So instead of saying look out for Patapon 2 or Resistance: Retribution we get vague promises of PSP support from SCEE and Sony Worldwide Studios in 2009.

Despite reports to the contrary, Microsoft says that it won't be using the PlayStation Home service to hold virtual meetings. It has all the virtual meeting solutions it needs, thank you very much, Sony.
Microsoft reps tell CVG that a report from GAAP Web isn't exactly accurate, plugging away that it has "fantastic Microsoft-developed products and applications like Live Meeting and even Xbox Live Party" to meet its needs. Sure. I can see Microsoft execs and middle managers cursing and slandering each other in an Xbox Live Party. No really!
It's a shame that this isn't happening. I'd have loved to see a creepy mishmash of totally awesome, Microsoft employee subscribing subcultures coming together in a colleague air-humping dance-off while staring blankly into space. And synergies being discussed, naturally. Guess we'll have to settle for Merrill Lynch and Ernst & Young.

What are Sony's top brass looking forward to from the PlayStation family in 2009? Console exclusives, naturally. And "making money." While the PS3 gets 'em all hot and bothered, the PSP is, at best, remembered.
Shuhei Yoshida, President of Sony Computer Entertainment's Worldwide Studios, teases "new titles and innovations that will connect and expand the PlayStation experiences" on the PSP. But that's about all the love the PSP gets from developers and SCEE execs. I mean, David Reeves, president of the European arm seems mostly worked up over the PSP selling in "incredible numbers."
And what about the PlayStation 3, Sony's area of focus?
Reeves says that, once the company heads back into the black, "we can move forward at a rate of knots." Most of the internal excitement comes from games like Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, MAG and God of War III, but there's plenty of super secret stuff, "more big titles that we have not even announced yet," teases Yoshida.
Hmph! That better mean "Team ICO game that is almost done," Mr. Yoshida!

We tend to think of demos as free gifts from the gaming overlords, which would make the Skate 2 demo coming on Thursday to Xbox Live a gift within a gift, like a Hickory Farms sampler wrapped in a Snuggie. Just for downloading the demo and registering here, you could win MS points and, curiously, one of six custom Skate 2 skateboards, which should look great sitting idly in your garage.
Thanks to the Thursday placement, we're assuming this'll pop up simultaneously on PSN, just without all the free prizes.

Sometimes news comes from where you least expect it. Case in point: middleware firm Illuminate Labs. The lighting tech company recently toweled off new screens for Blizzavision cast off, WET, confirming that the acrobatic shooter is still expected to bound onto retail shelves for the PS3 and Xbox 360 sometime in 2009.
In development at Montreal-based developer Artificial Mind and Movement (A2M), WET has remained submerged well below the radar since it was first detailed in August 2007. Beyond the new eye candy, WET's pool of details remains shallow, though it's at least good to know that someone will be fishing the game out of the well someday soon.

Step 1: Release PlayStation 3.
Step 2: ?????
Step 3: Profit!
David Reeves, President of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, believes that Sony is "on target" to figure out that elusive second step. "The most important thing for us as a company in the very short term is for us to start making money," Reeves explained rather candidly in a recent article on the official PlayStation website. "This is a pledge that was made last March and is something that we are still very much on target to achieve." His tone was considerably more positive than one adopted by recent rumors, which have Sony on the "brink of upheaval."
Quizzed -- or rather, politely asked to contribute in a promotional piece -- about 2009's most exciting developments, Reeves noted that once the company's flagship system is out of the financial woods, things will really take off for PlayStation and its fans. "2009 promises to be a very exciting year for PS3, with blockbuster titles such as Heavy Rain and Killzone 2 coming out, whilst we have the music and video download service becoming available towards the end of the year," he said. And don't forget about our pal, the PSP, which will have games taking "full advantage of the new enhanced screen."

Ian Jackson, VP of sales for Sony Computer Entertainment America, told CNET that internal data shows a 130% increase in PS3 sales during the holiday season (post-Black Friday). Jackson also claims that the PS3 has seen 40% sales growth during the calendar year. He expects the momentum to continue in to the new year ... but really, what else is he going to say? Now is not the time for a Sony exec to say anything ... troubling.
Playing with percentages is fun, but we don't really know if Jackson was speaking globally or about the US. If he's talking globally, it might very well be possible that the world is picking up America's sales slack. However, if Jackson is talking about the holiday sales in the US, then Sony must have done gangbusters in December, because we know that November was not a good year-over-year month for the PS3. NPD's December data, which should be out in the coming weeks, will give a clearer picture of how the PS3 did during the holiday season.

Electronic Arts announced today that Scrabble will make its way to the DS and PSP in March, and to Xbox Live Arcade at a later date. Beginning in spring, XBLA will not only receive the perennial wordsmith board game, but also Boggle, Battleship, Yahtzee, Connect Four, Sorry! and Sorry!Sliders.
In a very interesting development, XBLA will also receive a branded "Hasbro Family Game Night" channel. Chip Lange, general manager of EA Hasbro, says it'll allow players to easily find family-friendly digital board games. We only wish that Microsoft would extend such a courtesy to the high-quality European board games that are also available on the service
