  • Dead Nation

For PSP owners, go to the ‘Welcome Back’ section of PlayStation Store on your PSP system and select 2 titles from the following list:

Select your first game from “Game 1”, then return to the Welcome Back page and go to “Game 2” to select your second game out of the remaining choices available. This goes for both PS3 and PSP.

In addition, we’re giving access to our premium subscription service, PlayStation Plus, which includes games, huge discounts, exciting exclusives and added features like online storage and automatic downloads, to all PSN members for 30 days at no charge, requiring no long term commitment.

Note that this will not auto-renew and simply expires 30 days after activation.

Current Plus subscribers receive an extra 60 days added to their existing subscription at no charge. For current Plus subscribers, no action is needed as the 60 days are automatically added to your subscription.

PlayStation Network users will also get 100 virtual items in PlayStation Home as a show of appreciation for your patience while Home was inaccessible. Additional content is coming soon, including the next addition to the Home Mansion personal space, and Ooblag’s Alien Casino, an exclusive game.

adhoc_party_for_psp_cover
This past Thursday, the Playstation Store was updated with a free application called “adhocParty”. This is an amazing application that allows you to play PSP Games that don’t support online play….online! Ok so before I go further on how awesome this is, here’s what you need:

  • A PSP System or PSPgo
  • A PS3 with Built-in Wi-Fi (Sorry 20GB owners!!)
  • The PS3 must be connected to the internet via Ethernet Cable and not via Wi-Fi (If you use wi-fi to game online, you can’t use adhocParty)
  • An Ad-Hoc supported PSP Game such as Gran Turismo (PSP).

Sony's E32009 Press Conference

Gaming News 3 Responses »
Jun 032009

Jack Tretton

Although there weren’t many major surprises at Sony’s E3 press conference this year (thanks to several pre-E3 leaks), the company managed to impress the audience with its future line-up of quality titles for both the PS3 and PSP. While Sony was proud to showcase trailers and live demos of its superior exclusives, the PSP Go! (aka ‘the worst kept secret of E3‘) was the highlight of the show.

psp-go

Kaz Hirai, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc., officially announced that the PSP Go! will not replace the current PSP-3000 model but will stand alongside it when it is released on Oct. 1st 2009. This new model is 15% lighter and 43% smaller than the PSP-3000 and utilises a sliding screen that covers the face buttons. Although the UMD drive has been removed, it promotes the feature of direct downloads from the PSStore and the new Media Go! which will replace the  previous Media Manager. Kaz stated that this does not mean the UMD format will become obsolete as it will still be sold.

Sony also presented live demos including:

  • Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
  • Massive Action Game (MAG) – actual 256 players live
  • Assassin’s Creed II
  • Mod Nation Racers
  • God of War III

Exclusive games that were revealed were:

The day before, Microsoft was proud to show a tech demo of their Project Natal motion-sensing and voice-recognition camera. Sony made it known that they are also working on motion-sensing by use of a new prototype controller and the PS Eye. It wasn’t as impressive as Project Natal, but unique and interesting nonetheless. This motion controller is due for release in Spring 2010.

For those of you who wish to watch the entire E3 press conferences, here are the links to the rebroadcasting videos below:

IGN has gotten news from Namco Bandai that Tekken 6 will not only be coming to PS3 and 360 this fall, but also to PSP.
I guess this year is seriously becoming a year of the PSP. Multiple big name franchises are hitting this year including: Resistance, Rock Band, Patapon 2 and Little Big Planet. Let’s hope this PSP game fever continues.
