During Gamescom 2011, Sony announced a new regular PSP exclusivly for the European consumers. The PSP E-1000 with a fingerprint free surface (matte!) will do what every other PSP does, but it just won’t have build in Wi-Fi. You will still have access to the full catalog of PSP games on UMD or the PlayStation Store via Media Go. The re-designed PSP E-1000 is lighter, moved a few hardware features around and no longer has below screen buttons, instead there is a single touch strip on the bottom. This new model will price at €99.99 and will be accompanied by a new range of PSP titles that will retail at €9.99 each.

PS3BlogCast Episode 14

Recap Been busy again, but I have been around doing stuff for the Community. With that said, this was one of the busiest periods for us as far as giveaways goes, as you will see in the Community News tab. Currently, we have two giveaways happening with another one starting tomorrow. You can quickly access them by clicking on contest banners between post and at the top of articles. We’ve had a number of reviews for you to check out as well, with a few of them happening in conjunction with a giveaway. Thanks goes out to all those PR people for providing us with content! It is much appreciated! I guess Oly gets some credit, too, but we all know people will only associate with Oly because it gets them closer to me . I kid. With that said, EdEN and Cheeto need to settle down with the posting. Especially EdEN and his tyrannical posts about how a 3DS price drop is throwing the gauntlet against the Vita, and how it’s a better system than the Vita, blah blah blah. I don’t know how he got a staff position. Heck, he still hasn’t changed his name to his first name to continue on with site tradition . At least Eddie has been putting him in his place. Too bad EdEN doesn’t stay there for even 5 minutes before he starts again. Anyway, be sure to check out the rest! Quite a few articles to go through in case you missed anything! Community News & Game Nights It’s been a really busy past three weeks. One of the biggest things is definitely the giveaways, which you can read about in the section below. As far as Community news itself goes, Tosh has unveiled the new and improved giveaway/lottery system. It not only makes it easier for us to track entries, but also makes it easier for you to enter the contest as well. Yesterday, Tosh also gave me more permissions for running the forums, so I took the liberty of beginning the process of improving the forums . For the most part, the forums are now categorized satisfactorily, but we’re still in the process of moving old topics to their new locations. And, as always, we had our BlogCasts. Now available are Episode 11 , Episode 12 , and Episode 13 . Enjoy! Oh, and I almost forgot, EdEN has joined our team . Congratulations! Alright, giveaways! First of all, we had a winner for the Tekken blu-ray. The day before the winner of that was announced, we started a giveaway for PSN imports for Yakiniku Bugyou and Rapid Angel, where, later, everyone who entered had won. In fact, you can ask Oly if there are any extra codes left since the number of entries was less than the number of available codes… Anyway, Eddie did a short giveaway for a Resistance 3 beta code, here you can see who won here . We still had a couple other PSN giveaways, including Fast Draw Showdown and LIMBO . Winners can be seen here and here respectively. Of course, it didn’t end there. Currently, we have 2 more giveaways going on, including the PSN title Dead Block and a piece of hardware that makes a wired connection through your house’s electrical circuit, the HP200AV . We’re still not done yet, though. In fact, we had to make a couple more “lottery” accounts to allow for more giveaways, with the third account being used for a giveaway you will see go live tomorrow , so stick around! There is a lot of free stuff you can win! Also, Tosh’s E3 swag giveaway has ended, but items will be shipped soon!

Almost half of the people who voted said that a deep, engaging story is most important for future titles, where, despite being 10 votes behind, innovative gameplay took second. Sequels and prequels got a few votes, but tried and true formulas and controversial subject matter both struck out with one vote. New Poll This new poll idea comes from mowmow, who will receive 200 points for the idea. With that said, the poll asks what interests you most in a collector’s edition of a game. I believe we’ve had one of these in the past, but I suppose it can’t hurt to run a new one. – What do you look for in Collector’s/Limited Editions?

The ‘Kind of’ Weekly Recap (July 24th-August 13th)

The wait is almost over, battlefield junkies. In just 9 days time, DICE plans to show off the very first footage of Battlefield 3′s conquest mode, and jets will finally be making their long awaited appearance. DICE General Manager KM Troedsson (Karl Magnus Troedsson) confirmed the news via Twitter: Troedsson pretty much sealed the deal with his fancy emotioicon. GamesCom just became my new best friend, hopefully we get a bunch of new Battlefield 3 footage, and maybe even a narrower date for the beta. Until battlefield 3 releases, remember to keep practicing and whatever you do, don’t do this .

Battlefield 3 is Heading to GamesCom with Jets!

Recap Despite Comic Con going on in San Diego right now, it’s been a relatively slow week. Pedro put up an editorial about innovation in gaming (and I put up a poll using that as a basis). Speaking of innovation (or lack thereof), a new Zombie game is in the works, this one by Grasshopper Manufacture. We had a few trailers this week. One for Starhawk (which was shown at Comic Con), as well as a Penguin trailer for Batman: Arkham City. We also got a sneak peak at some multiplayer with a new Battlefield 3 trailer as well. We also had a few reviews this week as well. Puzzle Dimension, inFamous 2, and Patapon 3. Be sure to read those and leave comments! With that out of the way, we still have a lot going on, so be sure to read the other tabs for details on giveaways and double points. I definitely suggest taking advantage of the latter to help you with the former. Community News & Game Nights Nothing new this week community wise. We do, however, have double points active through the rest of July! With a good number of giveaways coming up, now is a good time to stock up on points! And, as always, be sure to listen to our BlogCasts! You’ll get plenty of laughs! For our newest one, be sure to listen to episode 10 . The winner of the Alien Zombie Megadeath giveaway has been chosen (as well as the winners of the Red Johnson’s Chronicles giveaway, so congratulations to you guys! We also have our ongoing E3 Swag giveaway , as well as a chance for you to win a blu-ray of the Tekken movie. For major giveaways, we have also made it a lot easier for facebook users to enter them.

One person did have to file for bankruptcy, though. There are still a few things I have to buy myself, but I am a bit low on funds. New Poll Since there wasn’t any valid poll ideas for this week, I decided to come up with one of my own. And I don’t get points for my brilliant ideas . As usual, I like to base them off of something going on this week, so without further ado, this week’s poll is based off of Pedro’s article about innovation. The only thing is, I have a few things listed, and it’s up to you to see what you think is most important for future titles. – What is most important for future titles?

The Weekly Recap (July 17th-23rd)

A bunch of videos have hit the internet of Battlefield 3′s Alpha footage, which was from the closed beta. These leaked videos show off the true colors of bf3′s sound engine, which sounds absolutely amazing! We see more melee attacks as well, and I must say, I’m very impressed. DICE got the melee right this time around, it’s very fluid and dynamic. In other news, EA officially released a new trailer. The trailer was dubbed, “Paris Multiplayer Gameplay,” which shows off their 47 wins and 80 nominations at E3. And of course more badass gameplay! Paris Multiplayer Gameplay Leaked Gameplay! Several videos of the Battlefield 3 Alpha have been leaked onto the web ahead of the game’s closed beta in September, with a fresh batch of details about the game’s new sniper rifle and a number of other weapons. The build of the alpha in question looks roughly the same as the one previewed at E3 2011 and elsewhere recently. It still looks badass!!

Battlefield 3 Leaked Gameplay And a New Trailer

For those of us who use Netflix, may it be the streaming-only service or the DVD/Blu-Ray with streaming service, the latter might be a little disappointed with this news. Netflix has opted to separate both DVD and Blu-Ray plans from the streaming plans. The streaming-only plan will remain $7.99 a month, but since the DVD plan included streaming, it was only $2 more a month for adding DVD onto the plan. Netflix says that didn’t make sense financially, and since DVD rentals are still huge with the service, they wanted it to make better business sense. This is why they divided the plans, and the DVD plan will now be the same price as the streaming plan, at $7.99. 2 discs out at a time will be $11.99. In comparison, the 1 Blu-Ray/DVD plan (that included streaming) was $12.99. At least with the new plan, Blu-Ray renting will be at $9.99, $2 more instead of $3 (and another $1 for each additional disc). Now, here is where the problem starts, though. Since this new plan separates streaming and disc services, subscribers will need to get the bundled service (which doesn’t offer any discounts) if they want both. Those of us currently on the1 DVD/Blu-Ray/Streaming plan pay $12.99 a month, plus tax. With the new subscription update, it will be the $7.99 streaming service, plus another $9.99 for the Blu-Ray/DVD, resulting in a $17.98 bill instead, which, quite frankly, is completely unfair from a consumerist standpoint. Here’s another kicker. The DVD-Only plans only allow up to 2 DVDs/Blu-Rays at a time, so if you currently have the 4 DVD plan, and you want to continue with 4 DVD rentals, you will be forced to get the 4 DVD with streaming, which will now cost you $29.98 a month, $34.98 with Blu-Ray. Same goes with the 3 DVD (albeit at a lower price). For new subscribers, these subscription changes are immediate, but for people who already subscribe to Netflix? We’re not safe, either. If you haven’t changed over before September 1st, you will wind up having to pay AT LEAST the $17.98 ($15.98 if you don’t rent Blu-Rays), depending on the number of discs you have for your current plan. Personally, I might just switch to the Streaming service, as I don’t really watch my disc-based movies as much as I should anyway, and I take forever to get around to them. But still, for those who use both aspects of the service? They’re getting the most mistreatment by this new pricing model. I still love Netflix, though. Source

Netflix Subscription Plan Update

Recap Being backed up with personal life really makes it hard to get things done on here, but I decided to go ahead and do the past 4 missed recaps all in one post. Hopefully once I get things settled, I’ll be able to do these every Saturday night like I originally intended. I decided to get this done in the wee hours of the morning before more E3 news makes it on here and I’ll be too busy being the Editor in Chief to focus on writing a recap, which will be even more ridiculous if I put it off another week. With that said, May was a pretty busy month with quite a bit of news leading up to E3. First of all, PSN finally came back online, as well as the relaunch of the store. Some of you may have already noticed that the password change server for PSN is still down. I had forgotten what my new PSN password was; I needed to change credit card info and since the password change servers are still down, I couldn’t change it again. Anyway, enough of that. One of the coolest things to announce is that we finally launched our weekly Podcast, called the PS3BlogCast! Each one is about an hour or so long, but because of time constraints, yours truly was only in there on the first episode. Hopefully that can change soon. Click these links for episode 1 , episode 2 , episode 3 , and episode 4 . Now, as far as news items themselves go, I’ll leave that to you to check out, as there is a lot of articles to go through (141, including QuickNews)! Community News In case you haven’t noticed, the chat system currently has a new look, and has also been updated to the latest version. This will actually make it easier for people like me who use the pop-out chat, which didn’t allow you to click a name to send a PM, to be able to do so, as you can now open multiple instances of the chatrooms. Madagasca, one of our main reviewers from across the pond is also interested in knowing what kinds of things you’d like us to change/cover in reviews, so if you have any input on that, be sure to respond here . Over the past 4 weeks, we’ve also gotten some new, hidden site trophies, as well as a referral system for those who want to earn points for inviting friends. Ace also gave us a countdown to E3, and a list of confirmed games to be at the show, so if you want to check that out before the event officially kicks off tomorrow, check it out here . We did have one contest/giveaway over the past month, and that was for a Roxio game capture unit (thanks to Roxio for providing us with a review unit, as well as a unit to give away). Congratulations goes out to jwhyrock for winning that one !

This poll was live for quite some time, and has garnered a lot of votes during that period. Going by the results, we don’t have too many responsible people. In fact, people with 360s who only came on here to troll the site exceeded the number of people who actually took the time to study or to even go outside. The true dominating force is all of those people who spent that PSN downtime to collect trophies. Those who haven’t been doing much gaming weren’t really trailing that far behind, though, but since that exceeded studying and going outside (and discovering life), I could only assume that those people stared at a blank TV screen until PSN resumed service (or have been watching the newest episodes of fine TV programming like River Monsters and Swamp People). And then there’s the folks who didn’t even know PSN had an outage. New Poll With E3 happening this week, the current poll focuses on that and what you want to see announced or what games you hope there is a focus on. Remember, you can also add answers! – What is your most anticipated game/announcement to come out of E3?

Lazy Jay’s Pre-E3 Super Recap Extreme 2.0

Recap Well, this recap is on-time for last week, but a week late for the week before. Go figure. It has been another busy week for me, and being one of the only editors active this past week (it was mainly just Eddie and I), I tried getting posts approved and interacting with the community (there were a couple bad apple guests that tried to start problems, though). Anyway, what were some highlights this week, besides the flood of outage posts? Well, semi-having-to-do-with-that, we had a few opinion pieces on greed, impatience and the general feelings of how people are reacting to the news. Darrin posted his most anticipated games of the year, which helped stray attention away from the outage at least. EA announced the newest addition to the Need for Speed franchise, which appears to focus more on action and story than ever before. Redbox announced its plans to provide games for locations across the country (a service that has been tested in a few places, including southern California, since August 2009 or so). We saw some more gameplay for Twisted Metal, and I gotta say, that game seems to look better and better, and more fun, the more they show of it. Another game has been announced, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, though, no real trailer for that. We have also had our fair share of reviews over the past couple weeks, including a SOCOM 4 single player review (thanks to the outage), PlayStation Move Heroes, and Mortal Kombat. Speaking of reviews, last week was our first week of keeping the “Official Review” title reserved for staff, so as to better show off how many of our reviews are actually by regular contributors. Remember, you can sign up to post articles, too, if you’d like! Just click the “Write for Us” button in the image below. Community News & Game Nights Not a whole lot of Community news over the past couple weeks, besides the points system update , which includes notifications and an easier way to see how many points you’ve donated to a lottery, etc. I also gave Tosh some other input on a few other things, but for now, until he responds, it’s just an idea. A couple of you might know about it already, but just in case it doesn’t go through, it’s not worth mentioning. Given the fact that many of our staff was away for the past week, and activity fell short as a whole, we currently do not have any contests available to enter. And then there’s also the outage, and if you won a couple codes for games to download, it would be kind of crappy to have to wait until the outage is over with .

New Poll Well, here’s the new poll, asking what you have done since the outage started. If you feel that there could be another answer, please let me know and I will add it!
