Resident Evil 5 demo pops up for PlayStation3 owners to have a go on for free
We won’t use the fact that the demo of Resident Evil 5 was available for Xbox 360 last week to turn this news into a PS3-bashing exercise. We are so above that. That would be very childish indeed.
However, if you are unfortunate enough to own a PS3 and have jumped through the hoops required to sign up to Sony’s PlayStation Network…
Give yourself the best chance in Street Fighter IV with an XCM Dominator Joystick for PS3
If you’ve been trying for 10 years but STILL can’t get your head around the idea of playing Street Fighter using a controller that only has four face buttons, here’s what you need – the XCM Dominator Joystick.
Created in an arcade-friendly, eight-on-the-top layout for maximum Street Fighter compatibility, the stick’s perfect for anyone whose software collection consists almost entirely of games manufactured by Capcom and SNK between the years 1992 and 1998…
The UK has gone GAMING MAD – 22 million consoles in use, PS3 dead last
Gfk-ChartTrack, the Europe-wide sales-counting conglomerate that tracks how many games and how much hardware we’ve all been buying, has sad there are now a staggering 22 million games consoles in the UK.
That’s an increase from January 2008’s 13.5 million, a figure which presumably doesn’t include all our childhood Mega Drives and SNESs that are sitting in mum & dad’s loft. Nintendo sold 2.9 million Wiis between Jan 2008 and Jan 2009, Microsoft shifted 1.4m Xbox 360 consoles and Sony moved a rather poor 1m PS3s, making it…
Xbox 360 shifted "almost double" the units this Christmas compared to 2007
Credit crisis, financial disaster and aura of commercial misery everywhere you look? What credit crisis, financial disaster and aura of commercial misery everywhere you look?
That’s what Microsoft UK will be thinking at this very moment, having sold “almost double” the number of Xbox 360s in the UK over the Christmas period compared to Chrimbo 2007, thanks to the price cuts and its zany new casual interface for girls/children/the elderly…
Dan would like his girlfriend to know that Zavvi is knocking out Xbox 360s for £99
That’s a saving of £30 over the newer, cheaper RRP of £129 that only took effect in September, a saving which Dan’s girlfriend could then put toward buying Dan a copy of GTA IV to go with it. Dan’s girlfriend would then be left in peace to watch EastEnders while Dan spends hours creating a Dan-like Avatar on Christmas Day.
The Zavvi Xbox 360 madness sale has also seen the price of the regular machine with its 60GB hard drive slashed from £169 to £149, with the price of the Elite CRASHING by…
Sony UK sort of cuts price of PlayStation3 – starts offering £40 discount on 40GB model
If you really, really must have a PlayStation3 right now, you might want to buy yourself one via Sony’s online shop SonyStyle.co.uk – as it’s currently offering a £40 discount on its cheapest model.
The deal takes the RRP of the Blu-ray-playing “entry level” 40GB machine down to an almost reasonable £249 including free delivery, with a nearly tempting…
No March 2009 price cut for the PS3 – honest guv
Having all but admitted yesterday that a price cut’s coming for the PS3 in March next year, Sony is attempting to save their Christmas sales with a few stern denials.
“There are no plans for a price reduction on the PS3 in March 2009…
DO NOT BUY A PLAYSTATION3 JUST YET – Sony's planning a price cut in March 2009
Here’s an amusing little faux pas to add to the 2.4MB, 124-page-long document I carry around with me at all times on a memory stick documenting all of Sony’s errors regarding PS3.
At a recent employee meet, the company apparently told its staff that PS3 would start to be “more competitive in price” from March of 2009, telling everyone the expensive Blu-ray console will be a little more affordable next Easter – and damaging sales from now until then, we’d imagine, as credit-crunched gamers beneath the fuel poverty line hold out for a price cut.
The report also revealed that Uncharted 2 would be shown to the world and that LittleBigPlanet would be announced for PSP, both in March ’09…
Extremely finely-crafted Metal Gear Solid 4 PlayStation3 one-off wealthy billionaire edition
Good lord, a PS3 that looks a bit like worth having.
The work of console-customiser Morpheon Mods, this PS3 – complete with the signature of MGS4 creator Hideo Kojima – is currently up on eBay, going for a ludicrous $6000 at time of writing…
Bioshock 2 teaser trailer surfaces
Many who played and completed 2K’s undersea epic Bioshock felt the ending lacked something. Well, it turns out that the year-long delay on the PS3 version of the floaty first-person adventure game was worth something – when you complete it, it unlocks a teaser trailer for Bioshock 2.
