New “Department” at the PlayStation Store: The Capcom Storefront- I’m loving what the team is doing for the PlayStation Store.  I admit that I’ve forgotten whether this is applying to all versions of the Store, or just the US version.  My brain’s scrambled these days!  I’m particularly impressed with all the dev replies in the [...]

There have been a couple of articles that have piqued my interest recently; one from Rockers Delight (excellent blog, go read now if you haven’t already done so) and another from PS3 Fanboy.  Rather than address each point separately, I’d like to make this one big article on my thoughts about brands in the games [...]

New Media Manager for PSP- I’m going to have to check this out soon, especially with access to the PlayStation Store now integrated into it.  Interesting that they’ve finally made it free (the standard version, anyway), which I’ve been asking for a good couple of years now.  Bravo Sony.

Premium Themes on the PlayStation Store- I suppose new content like this is good as there’s always going to be someone out there with money burning a hole in their pocket.  Personally though, themes don’t appeal to me.  I like the clean, elegant XMB that is there as default.  I’ve even got rid of my [...]

Downloading Warhawk- Yup, I’m seriously considering downloading Warhawk from the PlayStation Store.  It’s about £10 cheaper, and I’ll be able to launch the game immediately as it’ll be on the hard drive.  No headset though?  I’m not particularly bothered about that at the moment.

Valve reiterates Portal: Still Alive not coming to PSN- This is a real shame, as it would have been a great addition to the range of games available on the PlayStation Network.  Can anyone tell me though, why does Valve hate the PlayStation 3 so much?  Seriously?

How To Play: Eden- An excellent quick-but-informative guide by TheSixthAxis to playing PixelJunk Eden, now that the demo is out on the PlayStation Store.  Can’t wait for the full game to be released!

This is just going to be a quick and short ‘hands-on’ with the Store; much more succinct than my ‘in-depth’ articles on City In The Clouds (I hope). I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to get to grips with the new Store for quite some time now. Now that I’m back home for a [...]

Firmware (v.2.30) Details and Store Walkthrough- Posted on the PlayStation.Blog, showing off a video demo of the store by Grace Chen.  Worth a watch of the store in action, it looks very fast and responsive.  Top sneak peek of the week (wow, I’m so awesome at rhyming).

PS2 Games To Appear On The PSN Store- Says The Sixth Axis.  Rumours of PS2 backwards compatibility already added in secretly to firmware 2.20 etc…  Eventually, all’s I want is to be able to put in PS2 discs and play them on my PS3, just like my friend who has a 60GB PS3.  Damn you!  [...]
