Sony announced today that the dynamic duo of Jak and Daxter will make their return in The Lost Frontier on November 3 for PSP and PS2. While creator Naughty Dog has traditionally handled the series, High Impact Games took the helm on this one, best known for Secret Agent Clank and the PS2 port of Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters.

This week’s PlayStation Store update invites gamers to chow down with the release with Capybara Games’ high-anticipated Critter Crunch. Add-on content is aplenty, with DLC for Dirt 2, Fallout 3, and LittleBigPlanet making the rounds this week. On the PSP front, NBA 10 The Inside and NBA Live 10 are now available as digital downloads, along with additional Rock Band […]

Although the ultra portable PSPgo has received mixed reactions in the enthusiast press, it appears that the handheld is becoming a hot item at retail, if early launch sales are any indication. According to SCEA corporate communications director Patrick Seybold, the go has managed to spark interest in the platform as a whole, netting a 300 percent increase in overall […]

Online retailer Amazon has joined forces with Sony to offer select offerings from the PlayStation Store. Purchase a title through Amazon and you’ll be instantly sent a voucher code with which you can redeem on your platform of choice. What’s the advantage of going through Amazon rather than using the PS store directly? One word: convenience. Alternatives are always welcome […]

Update: Sony just got back with us and confirmed that the November 17 date applies to both UMD and PSN. Now the tagline of play, create, share will soon ring true anywhere as Sony has pegged a November 17 release date on the portable version of Media Molecule’s hit platformer LittleBigPlanet. Crafted exclusively for PSP, this installment features a completely […]

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today revealed that the recent launch of PSPgo has been a success in European territories, boosting overall hardware sales of the brand by 120 percent over the previous week beside its UMD-touting cousin, the PSP-3000. No hard numbers, unfortunately, but this gives a vague indicator of retail performance. And, to Sony, expectations are being met: PSPgo […]

While Sony went to great lengths towards preventing a repeat of the Pandora battery hack on PSPgo, they evidently forgot to patch up some existing security vulnerabilities on the software side. Mere days after the launch of the new hardware, homebrew developer FreePlay has managed to run unsigned code on it. Above is a video clip showing off his efforts […]

The PSPgo hits store shelves tomorrow and while it has generated a great deal of interest primarily due to being a digital distribution only platform, the relatively high price point is dissuading many consumers from purchasing. SCEE product manager Claire Backhouse isn’t worried, however, as she points out consumers who can’t afford plunking down $250 for the go may opt […]

The recent PS3 price cut has brought about a tremendous increase in demand, so much so that Sony Computer Entertainment America CEO Jack Tretton believes that shortages are within the realm of conceivability. First it wasn’t selling enough and now stock is apparently running dry, go figure: If things continue at this pace, it is conceivable that there will be […]

Sony sure knows how to entice fans into double dipping, as the company announced that it will include a voucher code good for downloading a playable demo of the E3 2009 build of God of War III. Coupled with the fact that both God of War and God of War II are included on a single Blu-ray disc in the […]

Sony is tipping the scale in favor of value with the PSP iteration of Fat Princess. Under the guidance of IP creator Titan Studios, developer Super Villian is going the extra mile to make Fistful of Cake a must-have title, even for those who already had their fill of cake with the PS3 installment. During a holiday showcase event held […]

We know of the 100MB size limit that titles under the PSP Minis banner must adhere to, but it appears there are more restrictions in the content department, if comments from SCEA senior account manager Justin Cooney are anything to go by. Cooney says no form of WiFi multiplayer component is allowed, nor is downloadable content. Additionally, software updates are […]

Sony’s attempts to buckle down on leaks appear to be futile, as a clear box shot of the 250GB PS3 Slim that showed up on a covert FCC listing has surfaced. Sure enough, this offering includes Uncharted 2 as a pack-in, falling in line with

Heads up, PS3 owners. Sony has rolled out firmware 3.01 on Network Update. Being classified as optional, it’s a rather uneventful update, but promises to “improves system stability” during use of certain software titles, particularly Uncharted. Whether or not you’ve been experiencing any issues, you might as well update — can’t hurt. Download PS3 Firmware 3.01

Atlus dropped over a note today briefly mentioning that the digital edition of RPG conversion Shin Megami Tensei: Persona has been pushed back to October 1, presumably to coincide with the release of PSPgo. The UMD release, however, is still on for September 22. As a reminder, the UMD release is packed in a special collector’s edition boxset, featuring two […]

Sony is positioning Minis as byte-sized, sub-100MB experiences for PSP available on the PlayStation Store. Despite being optimized for digital transfer, the most popular Minis may make the jump to UMD if Sony sees fit. At least, that’s what SCEE developer relations head Zeno Colaco suggests, speaking in a recent interview with Develop:

NPD numbers for August are in and there’s no real surprises here. Overall revenue took a significant dip from last year’s results — down from $1.09 billion to $908 million — marking the sixth consecutive month in sales decline. No real shakeups in the hardware sector came about in August, aside from the fact that PS3 sales climbed to 210,000, […]

Everyone’s favorite mutant turtles descend on the PlayStation Store today, taking the fight against Shredder’s legions of nefarious foot soldiers on PS3 in TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled. Previously seen on Xbox Live, this is a remake of the original arcade brawler, featuring updated 3D visuals. The nostalgic offerings continue with a trio of PSOne classics that are now up […]

Citing a “trusted retail source,” Eurogamer has it on good authority that Sony will debut a set of PS3 Slim bundles later this October, each packaged with a 250GB hard drive — more than double that of the standard configuration.

A quick trip over to Network Update has turned up a new PSP firmware: 6.00. Despite the major version increment, this one is practically devoid of any significant changes. The underwhelming changelog in all its entirety is detailed below.
