Hey we passed!
What were you expecting Sony to announce and are you dissapointed by what was?
As expected, Sony has partially unveiled the new Subscription based service for the PS3. This service will be “on top” of the current FREE PlayStation Network.
This is to clarify that everything you enjoy currently on the PSN will remain free.
For $49.99 USD per year, or $17.99 USD for 3 months, gamers will gain access to a one year Qore Subscription, exclusive beta access to select upcoming games, early access to demos and trials of major games such as inFAMOUS, free minis and occasional free PSN titles such as Wipeout HD which comes free with the first month’s subscription.
The service will offer gamers hundreds of dollars worth of content at a small price. This content will remain under your ownership for as long as your subscription is maintained.
Sony also announced that the first 3 months of the service will be free. It is unclear if the Service wil be free to all for the first 3 months, or that subscribers will gain an additional (first 3) months free, on top of their $49.99 payment.
PlayStation Plus is expected to go live later this month, and more details on the service and it features will be announced soon.
Cross game voice chat maybe? We’ll see.
Series creator David Jaffe of God of War fame took the stage at the Sony Press Conference and unveiled the new Twisted Metal game coming to PS3.
A live demo of the game was played for the audience. The game will feature flying vehicles for the first time and will be out sometime in 2011.

What do you expect for Sony to show us @ E3? Let us know in the comments!
Its been a while since our PS3′s have seen a firmware update. This one may or may not upset you though.
3.21 does not bring shiny new features to your PS3. Instead it removes an impressive feature exclusive to PS3 FAT this console generation.
All models of the old “FAT PS3″ had the option to install ‘Another OS’ in the System Settings menu. This enabled users to install operating systems such as Linux among a few others.
That feature enabled the user to use their PS3 in multiple ways as a server, processing clusters or simply a computer.
Due to some security flaws apparently found by Sony, they are forced to remove the feature and close access to the feature in Firmware 3.21.
IF YOU CURRENTLY USE AN INSTALLED OS ON YOUR PS3 AND INTEND TO USE THIS FEATURE IN THE FUTURE: DO NOT UPDATE.
Not updating will consequently result in the following features not being available to you:
- Ability to sign in to PlayStation Network and use network features that require signing in to PlayStation Network, such as online features of PS3 games and chat
- Playback of PS3 software titles or Blu-ray Disc videos that require PS3 system software version 3.21 or later
- Playback of copyright-protected videos that are stored on a media server (when DTCP-IP is enabled under Settings)
- Use of new features and improvements that are available on PS3 system software 3.21 or later
At current the PS3 servers for the update are being pounded by the hundreds of thousands of users currently downloading.
If you want speedy access to the update: Right Click, Save As the following link:
PS3 FIRMWARE UPDATE 3.21 – To install the firmware update downloaded from here, Copy the update data to the following directory on a USB Flash Storage Device (Flash Drive etc.)
USB FLASH DRIVE: PS3 > UPDATE > “PS3UPDAT.PUP”
Connect the storage device to the PS3 system, navigate to the System Update menu, select update using “Storage Media” and follow the on screen instructions.
Feel free to voice your opinion on the new update in the comments section!

Today, March 25, Patch 1.05 will be released which now includes *two* new FREE snow-themed maps called Frost Bite and Candy Mountain.
Fat Princess is one of those games that everyone bought, played for 1 week and never played again. Hopefully these new maps that “The Fat Princess Team” keep releasing, reignites our thirst for some Cake 
.
Ok really, you may have gotten excited for some rain in T&T as we’re experiencing a drought, but something better than rain comes in the form of PS3 Exclusive “Heavy Rain”.
Heavy Rain is a breakthrough title bringing forth a new genre of games and a new way to interact with video games as an entertainment medium.
Where every decision in the game changes the story, where if you die the story continues and morph’s around your death, where emotion of the characters and decisions affect you emotionally, where hollywood cinema meets gaming…. We can go on and on praising this game in so many regards.
Clearly the reviews speak for themselves with Heavy Rain claiming many high review scores and many perfect.
Visit Metacritic for a summary of worldwide reviews: http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/heavyrain
Also take a look at the UK region Television Ad for Heavy Rain that summarises the game o so well:
Sony and PlayStation continues to push boundaries for Gaming and finally after 3 years and a rocky first year start, PS3 is getting the recognition it so deserves.
With exclusives like Killzone 2, inFAMOUS, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, MAG, HEAVY RAIN, God of War Collection & God of War 3 to name a few and also multiplatform titles Bioshock 2, Dante’s Inferno, Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, FINAL FANTASY XIII and Tekken 6, again naming a few, it is crystal clear which is the superior console and platform for gaming.
PS3 has gone on to win mega-tech-blog Engadget’s Console of the Year and User Voted Home Entertainment Device of the year.
PS3 in the ratings has also received the most high quality games of 2009 amongst any platform.
If in the market for a Console, there should be no thought process but PlayStation.
2010 will push PS3 beyond imagination with Sony’s introduction of the Motion Controller and the introduction of 3D gaming to the masses in an upcoming Firmware Update.
Additionally 2010 may also see the introduction of premium services to the PlayStation Network such as “Cloud Storage” of game saves (where your save files are sycned with Sony’s servers and if the console fails, can be recovered by downloading) amongst dozens of other features.
Playstation Network has also brought forward a free weekly TV show for its members in the form of The TESTER, which premiered on the Playstation Network last week.
With Heavy Rain to wet our appetite before March’s FINAL FANTASY XIII, and GOD OF WAR 3,
we ask this question:
HOW MUCH MONEY WILL YOU SPEND FOR THE GAMING THAT YOU LOVE?
Heavy Rain is in stores today in the US and select local stores. Expect Heavy Rain to be in most stores by next week.
