Dualshock 3 for Europe on May 2?

Yes, you have heard right!  Dutch site Playstation Only has reported that the DS3, which is released in the USA in April, could be made available to the PAL regions in early May.  This information has come from a ‘reliable source’.  So far, no comment has come from sony regarding the EU price or release.  Hopefully, we will get it soon as most games already support rummble and others do with a downloadable patch!

PS3 leads Console Sales over Easter!

That’s right, the PS3 has beaten the Xbox 360 and the Wii over Easter with 73% increase is sales the week before.  The Microsoft option, Xbox-360, enjoyed a 78% rise but it still wasn’t enough to beat the shinning black beauty!  Let’s hope the sucess continues in the coming weeks!

WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2009 announced!

Last year’s game was terrible and I for one brought it and have only played it a couple of times but let’s hope next year’s installment can be better!  It has been announced and Online support and DLC has been revealed to be added to the next game.  The develper has said the WWE roster could be updated via the PSN store.  The season mode will also be updated with co-op being added for some tag team fun.  A brand new “Create a Finisher” is being added with over 500 moves to be chosen from!  So far, only  Chris Jericho, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Randy Orton, Mr. Kennedy, Undertaker, and John Cena have been announced to be playable but I expect a lot more to be added soon!

PSN Store Finally Updated!

That’s right the EU store has been updated a day late.  This comes after news that we thought there would be no update this week as the store wasn’t update on the usual day yesterday, Thursday.  The update is quite good but nothing spectacular.  Here’s what we got:

  • Unreal Tournament 3 Maps (Free)
  • Euro 2008 Demo (Free)
  • Turok Maps (GBP 1.99)
  • GtT5: Prologue (GBP 24.99 we reccomend that you buy the Blu-Ray disc as it is cheaper, has more content and you can trade it in when GT5 comes out!)
  • Eye of Judgement “Bio Rebellion” Card Set (GBP 6.99)
  • Reel Fishing PSOne Game (GBP 3.49)
  • Various Trailers

NO PSN Store update overnight!

That’s right there was no store update leaving EU PS3 owners disappointed again at Sony.  It was rumoured that GT5:P would be added with the update but it never happened.  However, could Sony just be waiting to release GT5:P at the same time as most shops put it up for sale?  If you were thinking about downloading it I would think again as the dowload will be 2GB and you could get to the shop and buy it in the same time the download takes!
