Copies of the much-anticipated Metal Gear Solid 4 have been released into the wild a full week ahead of the June 12 release date.
According to reports, some Wal-Mart stores in the US have handed over copies of Kojima's masterpiece ahead of the street date, with snaps of those turning up on the net as the purchases gloat.
Luckily for Sony, piracy won't be a problem, thanks in part to the use of Blu-Ray discs, and that's probably why Konami didn't seem to bothered in a speedily-readied statement regarding the leaks.
"Unfortunately, these things happen," it said. "As much as we like see that no one breaks streets dates, no one can monitor every single moment that a title gets packed up for shipment and when its on its way to the stores.
"The store could be at fault as well, for letting someone get a copy before the street date," said Konami (via PSU). Well yes, unless the people who bought them used Jedi mind tricks.

SouthPeak has told Eurogamer that the PS3 version of Monster Madness has been pushed back to September.
MM: Grave Danger was expected as early as April, but has hit numerous zombie-shaped bumps along the road to release.
Monster Madness came out last summer on Xbox 360 to fairly muted applause, with online co-op noticeably absent.
But the top-down shooter is being rethought for the Sony audience and includes the ability to play with your friends online as well as mess around in 25 mini-games.

Singulus has revealed that consumers are adopting Blu-ray faster than they did DVD, with the company having received 21 orders for Blu-ray dual-layer machines in the first quarter.
The information was revealed to shareholders at the technology manufacturer's Annual General Meeting of the Singulus Technologies in Frankfurt and directly contradicted claims by Microsoft's Robbie Bach that consumers were hesitant to upgrade to Blu-ray.
"This means that the orders for Blu-ray in the first year of the dual layer technology already by far exceeded the volume at the start of the DVD eleven years ago with 17 machines," said Stefan A Baustert, CEO of Singulus.
Blu-ray became the standard high definition format after Toshiba's decision to end its HD DVD business earlier this year. The announcement by Toshiba was then followed by Microsoft's decision to end production of the HD DVD player for Xbox 360.

pipagerardo has just released a new version for his GREAT Homebrew game for our loved PSP. If you like action and tanks, this will your favourite Homebrew game. This is the first Homebrew that takes part in the Scenery Beta 2008.
What about if I tell you that you will be able to play with a friend using PSP AdHoc connection? If you prefer to play alone, you will have to defeat tanks. At first, you only have one opponent, but if you continue playing...you will have to defeat 5 tanks on the field at the same time!!!
Enjoy this marvelous game, PSP Slim compatible and translated into English.
One of the best games that have ever been coded in LUA.
New in version 2.0
- Pause.
- Graphics improvements.
- 3D terrains (if your tank is at the top of a mountain, it will fire very far from your position!).
- The game uses less PSP memory (so its more stable).
- Added credits.
Note: The game is not compatible with previous versions of Cannons and Shields, so if you want to play versus another friend, please, use this v2.0 in both PSPs.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ENIKFN1C
If have tried to attach it into Dcemu forum, but I receive a PHP error :-(.
Enjoy.

Sony has announced PlayStation-edu, a new initiative that will sell PS2 and PSP development kits to universities for students to learn engineering and programming skills on real-world console and handheld hardware.
The announcement came via Sony's official PlayStation.Blog, where senior developer support manager Mark Danks said the company wanted to ensure "students who are graduating from college are ready to program on PlayStation hardware."
Danks clarified the program was meant for "computer science and engineering students who want to understand how the hardware works in the PlayStation consoles," and not more general game design or art programs.
Paying university partners can get access to both PS2 and PSP development kits, as well as "development software... and the SDK to learn and experiment with."
"Participants will get demo code and samples, as well as documentation about how things work," Danks added, and noted that "students in PlayStation-edu will have access to our support web site where they can talk with other students in the program on our forums."

New version of the plugin for PCSX2 (a PlayStation 2 emulator for PC).
Info:
It hasn't even been 2 weeks yet, and I have managed to get some new stuff together for a new spu2ghz release!
This time the most notable changes are the addition of timestretching and support for winamp DSP plugins.
As a bonus, there's also an option to toggle the speed limiter using the [Numpad -] key (can be changed in the .ini file).
You can download it here. [below]
To use winamp DSP pugins I recommend getting Multiple-DSP Stacker, which will allow you to easily change DSP plugins and configure them. To enable it you will have to edit the .ini file and manually point it to the path of the DSP dll and the module number (normally it's 0, unless it has many choices in a single dll).
Hope you all like it!

Namco Bandai has added another Star Wars character to Soul Calibur IV, revealing that Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice from The Force Unleashed will turn up for a ruck.
If you didn't already know, the Secret Apprentice is a character created for this years' Star Wars cross-media event that covers some of the timeline between Episode III and IV. Now, according to GameSpot, he's snuck in to yet other title.
Whilst we're not entirely keen that the Soul Calibur franchise is becoming more and more a just Star Wars fighting game with each passing day, it does mean that there now will be two lightsaber-equipped characters in both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.
Although given the usual titillation in the series, we wish they'd just put Leia in there.

Bethesda Softworks has today revealed the Fallout 3 Survival Edition for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but it's currently just for America.
The set includes a life-size replica of the wrist-mounted Pip-Boy 3000 worn by characters in-game, a Vault-Tech lunch box, a Vault Boy Bobblehead, an Art of Fallout 3 book and a making of DVD. Oh, and the game too.
It all sounds pretty cool. We've seen some of it - the lunch box and Bobblehead sits on the desks of the PC Zone lads within stealing range of CVG.
Unfortunately, the replica Pip-Boy 3000 doesn't detect radiation and reveal how reputable you are with those around you. It instead displays the time.
But if you really want it, you might have to take a trip across the pond or import it (and hope the game's region free).
Fallout 3 is due for a release later in the year.

Ubisoft has called for immediate action from Sony in order to stop publishers abandoning the PSP.
Speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz, UK big cheese Rob Cooper said the handheld lacks direction, as Sony is confused about how to sell a machine he feels is over-priced and too technical for most of us.
"I think that Sony is disappointed with sales and it's unsure as to which way to take it," Cooper told GamesIndustry.biz in an interview published today.
"Sony needs to show us a bit more about what its plans are to convince the publisher to invest lots more money into it. Especially when you've got the DS selling at such a tremendous pace.
"I suppose it's almost too technical for the casual person, those that are buying the DS at the moment want a few buttons and not a lot more. It's so simple what [Nintendo] has done. That's where I think Sony has gone a little bit too complicated, they've over-specced it, the price is too high and they need to go back to the drawing board and start again," he added.
Cooper doesn't think it's an issue with software pricing, rather Sony hasn't communicated to publishers clearly what direction the machine is going to take in the future.
"I don't think it's a pricing issue," he admitted. "As a publisher I'll always say pricing is not the first point of call. I don't think dropping the price of games is going to sell more product or hardware.
"It's direction, a real strategic decision by Sony as to what it wants to do with that product. It's a great shame that sales are at the level they are, because you've got a hardware system that is absolutely beautiful."
Ubisoft has no games planned for the PSP this year, but Cooper insists the format still has potential, so long as Sony can properly identify its audience and move the system out of "no man's land".
"There are ongoing discussions with Sony about what its decisions and strategies are, how they are going to go forward.
"Certainly, we still see it as a viable format. But we're not developing too many games on it until we get some direction. They've got to decide what they want to do with it, and come out clearly and say, 'this is our strategy, this is our process and this is how publishers can get behind it'."
"At the moment they are in no man's land, they're not sure quite how to tackle the DS competition and who is the PSP consumer. They've got to sort that out first," he said.
Coopers comments come just a month after Sony Europe boss David Reeves admitted that the PSP was suffering from a lack of games.
However, despite support dwindling in Europe and the US, sales of the PSP in Japan continue to rocket. The continued introduction of fresh colours as well as beastly sales of Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G mean the handheld regularly outsells both Wii and DS there.
Pop over to GamesIndustry.biz for the full interview with Ubisoft UK boss Rob Cooper, where he dabbles in all sorts including the problems with Wii owners and why this Christmas is going to be "vicious".

Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian, who recently hosted investors on a visit to videogame companies in the San Francisco area, warns against counting Sony out over the long haul.
"Despite ongoing modest sales trends for PS3 hardware in North America, we believe the platform may benefit from an improving software lineup - MGS 4, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2 - and the late 2008 rollout of more robust online services," he wrote in a note to investors.
Sebastian also thinks that the PS3 could benefit from the Blu-ray format victory, a prolonged console cycle and the potential migration of the large PS2 installed base. He does not think a PS3 price cut is likely this year, however, as Sony focuses on achieving segment profitability.
The analyst continues to expect solid 17 - 18 per cent growth in videogame software sales in 2008, believing that publishers will benefit from an expanding consumer base and the increasing popularity of social and community games.
"Retailer interest continues to build for videogame products," Sebastian wrote.
"As a result of positive industry trends, software publishers are noting increasing interest from a cross-section of retailers, a number of which are allocating more shelf space to the videogame category.
"Additionally, while online distribution is still a limited market at this point, we expect software publishers will shift an increasing portion of content to online distribution channels over the next 3-5 years."
Finally, Sebastian noted that handheld game platforms have become an increasingly important part of the industry's growth. He expects further innovation in the handheld market, with the Apple iPhone and Google Android expanding the market for media-enabled smart phones.
He also thinks that Nintendo and Sony will "refresh" their respective handheld platforms - although he did not specifically indicate if this meant adding additional features or releasing entirely new SKUs.

The latest issue of Famitsu (strategically thumbed by 1UP) reports that Sony's safari simulator Afrika is due out on 28th August in Japan.
Afrika puts players in the role of a photojournalist travelling around Africa snapping wildlife, and will allow you to view the action from a variety of camera perspectives. Famitsu apparently confirms rumours that you can travel around in a jeep.
Sadly though it won't be putting you in the role of a photojournalist any time soon because Sony recently told us that it will not be publishing the Rhino Studios-developed game in Europe.
That doesn't mean somebody else won't pick it up though, and of course PS3 games are multi-region, so you can always poach it on import.

The Bourne Conspiracy isn't out for a few weeks yet in Europe. That should give PS3 owners time to do some house cleaning on their hard drives, as the game requires 5GB free space to install - and naturally the internet's going barmy.
Previous titles to require free hard drive space include Grand Theft Auto and Devil May Cry. Metal Gear Solid 4 will soon be added to the list. Now, according to Loot Ninja, Jason Bourne is going to join the club.
Considering that Devil May Cry and Metal Gear Solid 4 need around 5 GB of space too, all of those 40 GB PS3's are going to run out of space real fast if you don't keep on top of your HDD management.
Consider yourself warned - get the feather duster out.

Sony has lined up an admirable selection of items for its European PlayStation Store update this Thursday.
Unfortunately none of it looks like the US-offered treats Commando 3 and Novastrike, so you will change regions if you fancy those at USD 10 a pop.
You can get a Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit or Battlefield: Bad Company demo, though, with the former being the first time the series has hit fresh console hardware.
Or you can bolster your Guitar Hero III songs with a Motorhead pack, or make your menus look pretty with a God of War theme. Both are free.
PS3 and PSP crowds can also get their mitts on PSone classic Rainbow Six for GBP 3.49. Not to be confused with a rainbow kiss.
Or, if you fancy it, you can snatch Killzone: Liberation (PSP) for a meaty GBP 14.99.
If that all sounds like hard work, then you can sit back and watch the fresh Resident Evil 5 trailer you've probably seen on EGTV, or a Top Spin 3 debut clip.

EA has halted work on its first PS3 real-time strategy game, Red Alert 3.
The build queue has most definitely been paused, the publisher told Eurogamer, but why, or if and when it will start up again is still under wraps.
Meanwhile, the Xbox 360 and PC versions are unaffected by the decision, and will benefit from the refocused development resources.
The master plan is still to release the third Red Alert instalment on those platforms this autumn.
