We mentioned all the trophies in our previous post, and since y’all have the memory of a zombie I felt I had to stop you from eating brains and patch up your PSN title, PixelJunk Monsters. Coincidence Sony patched Pixel Junk Mosters before Halloween? Doubt it!

The Sony PSP has been my top choice for portable gaming since it came out. With the Nintendo DSi around the corner, I may have to start thinking about the options. My love for the PSP is centered around my desire for homebrew. It looks like the DSi could turn out to be a great homebrew system. Wondering what the Nintendo DSi has in store for us? Check out the following video and wonder no more…
Sony has released an official statement confirming reports that LittleBigPlanet will be delayed.
Here’s the statement from Sony:
“During the review process prior to the release of LittleBigPlanet, it has been brought to our attention that one of the background music tracks licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Qur’an. We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologise for any offence that this may have caused.”

It is no shock that Microsoft HAD to do something in order to compete with Sony’s Blu-ray disc storage capacity. They tried with HD-DVD and we all know how that failed, and Microsoft wasn’t going to jump on the “Sony Blu-ray wagon”. That was then, this is now.
Wow, so it’s finally official. We’ve waited a while for this news but just officially announced, the PSP-3000 will be launched in North America as part of two packs. One of the packs will be the Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters PSP Entertainment bundles which will be released on October 14th. The other pack will be a 4GB Entertainment Pack which is due out in November. Both packs will be retailed at US $199.99. Later, Sony will be releasing the PSP-3000 Core Pack, which will be railed at the regular price of US $169.99.
Sony Computer Entertainment America announced that North America PSP3000 listing date for October 14 and will be available for sale “Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters,” tied with the PSP value package, priced at 199.99 U.S. dollars. Continue reading »
World View 2008 unites the global camera phone community through its international search for the best camera phone photographers of the year.

The site shows two prizes, for the best photograph, one judged by a panel of professionals, one most voted for. As of right now, bloggers will also get the chance to win a holiday. To be in with a chance to win, simply add their widget to your blog (can be found here - not any links to it yet on their site). How to win:-
1. One randomly selected blog displaying the widget will be selected.
2. The blog that delivers the most traffic to the site from its blog.The competition runs until 31st October 2008.
According to Jack Tretton, Chief Executive of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, he anticipates sales of the PS3 to reach a previously announced target of 10 million units by the end of the year, in March 2009.
“We are in good shape for that number worldwide,” he said in an interview. “We are tracking at 100 percent up over last year … about 30 percent ahead of where we should be. So sales could slow down and we will still hit our number.”
Yeah, that means Sony will not let you watch all those movies you’ve “borrowed” off the interwebs and stream them to your friends at the same time. It seemed a little too good to be true when it was announced but Wired lets us know that the feature has been axed…at least with this year’s release of Home.
The reason Microsoft can do video streaming is that it avoids legal issues by teaming up with Netflix — which already deals with film rights — in its upcoming dashboard update for the Xbox 360. We’ll have to see if Sony takes a similar approach or avoids it altogether in future updates to their social network.
