The PlayStation 3 Wireless keypad is coming December 15th, and now’s the time to order it.

If you’re annoyed with PlayStation 3’s on-screen keyboard, but still like to chat, here’s the solution. You can now pre-order the PlayStation 3 Wireless keypad.  With the upcoming PlayStation HOME, this little gadget can be a neat add-on.  I feel like a commercial, but I do have to say that I’ve tested this out and if you play games that require a lot of chatter, you’ll benefit using it.  Viva Le Chatter!  <- That didn’t make any sense…

Sony will make Trophies mandatory in ‘09; no more post-release patches.

“Give them their stupid Trophies”

Beginning in 2009, expect any new released game on the PlayStation 3 to have Trophies built in and ready to achieve. It seems like Sony has allowed developers to create patches for games after it has been released. In my opinion, this post-release patch is a nuisance to gamers. Although Trophies represent your progress and overall experience in the game, many hardcore gamers feel it’s a nice to have and not a requirement.

PS3 games like Uncharted: Drakes Fortune used their built-in trophies and made them PlayStation 3 trophies. Some gamers who played Uncharted when it was released found themselves cracking the game open again to achieve their PS3 Trophies, since Sony chose not make them to retroactive.

For those of you lucky PlayStation Underground members, you should have received your Home Beta invitation via email.

PlayStation sent out an invitation to most PlayStation Underground members today informing them of the open PlayStation Home Beta testing.  If you were lucky enough to be chosen, head on over to account management through PSN and redeem your voucher.  You’ll soon see the 77mb install, but PlayStation Home also requires close to 4gb of your hard earned disk space.  So unless you upgraded to a 320gb harddrive you better start clearing out those old demos.

For those wondering, of course I got an invitation.  I’m on the secret board of PS3′ers.  shhhh.

On November 22nd, the New Xbox Experience will go live and the Marketplace will be true HD…

Microsoft’s version of an avatar has been labeled by the gaming community as a dumb idea. There was and is not needed, but with the success of the Wii and future release of PlayStation 3’s Home, Microsoft needed to stay in the market.

Will you like the remodeled Market Place?

PlayStation 3 fans, today is THE demo day you’ve been waiting for.  Mirror’s Edge arrives on the PSN!  Xbox Live members will get the demo on Halloween (Oct. 31st)

Releasing on November 11th in North America, Mirror’s Edge is a First Person shooter (FPS) powered by the Unreal Engine 3 with the addition of new lighting, developed by DICE.  Mirror’s Edge aims to “convey the strain and physical contact with the environment”, according to senior producer Owen O’Brien, and to instill a freedom of movement not yet seen in the first-person genre.
