This week, we’re recovering from an action-packed GDC, but don’t think for a second that the Blog is slowing down. This last week of March / beginning of April will be just as news-worthy as ever, so keep your eyes peeled for some great stuff right here. Specifically, here’s what you can expect from the week ahead:
- A compete rundown of the San Francisco PlayStation.Blog meet-up, with great pics of all your pretty faces
- A sweet new game for PSN
- Xi in Home update
- A great interview with Noby Noby Boy and Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi

Kudos to all you guys for a great GDC blitz; really enjoyed the meetup, even if I only placed 5th in the finals for the tournament :( But hey, that guy who won the big MGS4 PS3 totally deserved it.

Can’t wait to hear what that new PSN game is. :D
I thought R&C was the best news, but then again, I’m a HUGE fan of the series.

Sony’s big announcement ! I hope we get a clue or something from the BLOG before anyone else. Cant wait…

This is going to be a one-sided poll. Well, the R2 DLC is nice, but the Ratchet news is where it’s at.
All around win for Insomniac!

The reveal of Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time. (67.0%)

Ackers11 | March 30th, 2009 at 10:33 am
What about this announcement tomorrow? you gonna give us a teaser – is it update, ps3 price alteration or game related?

EvoAnubis | March 30th, 2009 at 10:33 am
Ooooo! New PSN game? Yeah! I gotta say, with me being as busy as I am, these little games from PSN save what I’ll for the sake of this conversation refer to as my sanity.
Can’t wait to hear what it is! On a hopefully VERY related topic, when do we get to hear something about Trine? I saw the trailer for that awhile back, and it looked like a game I need.
Also, we took a week off for GDC, but is there going to be any live dev chat this week?

Ketchup | March 30th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Thanks for all your work on the GDC event !
Quick question: can we expect a PSP firmware to delete Go! Messenger icon here in Europe, as it goes down tomorrow ?

Ftwrthtx | March 30th, 2009 at 10:35 am
The meet up was the best by far IMO. My son won the MGS4 Bundle!
11
xKOROSHIYAx | March 30th, 2009 at 10:36 am
So what’s the new PSN game? I really hope it’s Bomberman! I’ve been waiting forever.
I wasn’t really blown away by any GDC news. Although, GDC isn’t really about hype anyway, that’s for E3. Speaking of… I really hope you guys have a better E3 lined up for this year. Last year was very disappointing.

KSPRAYDAD | March 30th, 2009 at 10:36 am
Leaked GOWIII and Uncharted 2 is high on my list.
13
mainpatrg | March 30th, 2009 at 10:37 am
This new game better be Gomibako!
14
enewtabie | March 30th, 2009 at 10:37 am
Peggle perhaps?
15
Kxpuc | March 30th, 2009 at 10:40 am
no vote for Fat Princess? for shame then Ratchet shall win my vote
Release Demon’s Souls in North America the game is already translated and there’s no point not to release it
16
aschx | March 30th, 2009 at 10:48 am
Thanks for the update Chris! Since Fat Princess goes unlisted, Ratchet will definitely win my vote! (Can’t wait to submit my weapon either.)
17
The_Punisher111 | March 30th, 2009 at 10:48 am
Man ….. my stomach gargles everytime i see Ratchet & Clank A Crack in Time. That game is on my “To buy” list
18
GamerMoney | March 30th, 2009 at 10:48 am
can’t wait for e3 now
19
Bildo818 | March 30th, 2009 at 10:48 am
Yeah, I am not voting since nothing interests me. A fat princess mention would’ve recieved my vote. And in regards to No. 11:
I bought this weekend:
Magicball
Cuboid
Astro Tripper
Burn Zombie Burn
Worms
Yeah, I am loving these PSN games!

Heisem | March 30th, 2009 at 10:54 am
R&C no doubt but unofficially…honestly it was the GoW tech demo, it’s just amazing how Helios will be crushed by kratos. CAN’T WAIT for both games to come out
21
DeforMAKulizer | March 30th, 2009 at 10:55 am
Can’t wait to see what you guys have in store for us =D
Xi is excellent, and a new game for PSN? =D
I smell Comet Crash ^^
PS blog team rocks!
22
Lugia_EX | March 30th, 2009 at 10:57 am
I’m excited about Xi in Home but I can’t login since last Thursday, PS3 keeps freezing while “Downloading”. Is there a fix coming anytime soon?
23
acmilanboy | March 30th, 2009 at 10:59 am
Is the new PSN the big announcement? Comon!! What is in 2.70!!! HINT!
24
mafecto | March 30th, 2009 at 11:00 am
Worms sneaking on to the PSN this week is where my vote truly is, although it crashes my PS3 every so often when I log out of their servers…
25
smokey_vols | March 30th, 2009 at 11:01 am
I’m enjoying the Xi event in Home. Some good news came out of GDC, I voted for R&C :) . I really hope the new PSN game is Peggel, we know it’s coming!
26
Santhiel | March 30th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Hey guys there is suppossed to be a bomb you guys from Sony will be dropping tomorrow, is this just a rumor or something?
BTW, any news about the Latin American expansion would be very very very welcomed
Also please give us info about the American release of White Knight Chronicles, is it happenning, like, ever? :(
27
mafecto | March 30th, 2009 at 11:03 am
The big announcement is a PS2 price drop. I’ve seen the evidence already. Whether or not there may be more to the announcement is yet to be determined but please people, dont get hyped up
28
SlashZaku | March 30th, 2009 at 11:04 am
Any plans to get SEGA on the Blog soon to talk about the Valkyria Chronicles DLC (pricing, an actual date)?
29
Santhiel | March 30th, 2009 at 11:06 am
@27: care to share that evidence of yours?
30
Insyt | March 30th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Will the rumored Firmware Update 2.70 be addressed to be a factual update with a factual release date of tomorrow, or is it all speculated with no such confirmation from Sony/Playstation?
31
KentoMaiku | March 30th, 2009 at 11:08 am
come on a big annoucement on firmwire go go
32
StalkingSilence | March 30th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Looking forward to the new PSN game information.
33
Jenovah | March 30th, 2009 at 11:18 am
Can you guys encourage Namco to release Katamari Tribute on PSN instead of retail?
34
AaronF | March 30th, 2009 at 11:26 am
I was hoping to hear some more about new playstation.com functionality, such as being able to compare trophies on the website and message your Friends.
35
lakaiHIGH | March 30th, 2009 at 11:26 am

BiezulbubBill69 | March 30th, 2009 at 11:28 am

37
merkcity | March 30th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Answer this sony why is it that all 60gb playstation 3 systems are breaking down all at the same time? its all over the net and you all are not saying anything about it mine broke on me 3 days ago and it is very well kept for $650 bucks it has to be. it plays all ps1 and ps2 games and dvd movies but no blu-ray movies or blu-ray games and its only a few months out of warranty im posting here cause sony dosent call you back or respond to emails very good so maybe you all will see this everyday till we get answers thank you
38
niall077 | March 30th, 2009 at 11:31 am
I liked how there was no ps3 price cut.
oh wait, that sucks.
39
TheInfectedBy590 | March 30th, 2009 at 11:31 am
Hardly anything from Team Ico = :(
No new firmware announcements = :(
No word on US releases of WKC
and Demon’s Souls = :(
GDC was kind of a disappointment…
I hope whatever announcement Sony has tomorrow is a good one! I’m excited :)
40
loxapac | March 30th, 2009 at 11:34 am
a new psn game, for my psp please !
41
LokeSTL | March 30th, 2009 at 11:35 am
e) None of the above.
No RPGs for PS3 = fail. Where are White Knight Chronicles, The Last Remnant, & Demon Souls release dates for the PS3 in the US?
42
wu-stix | March 30th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Anyone else notice that jaknov is missing? I guess once you’ve read one of his posts you’ve read them all. But I would like to see those japanese games come to North America (Demon’s Souls and WKC) but I would prefer to see some Yakuza 3, hell if they had english subs I would import it.
43
niall077 | March 30th, 2009 at 11:36 am
oh and the leaked God of war 3 and Uncharted 2 gameplay was awesome.
I need more Drake in my life.
44
BiezulbubBill69 | March 30th, 2009 at 11:37 am
here’s the evidence of a PS2 price drop.

remanutd5 | March 30th, 2009 at 11:46 am

46
Destiny89 | March 30th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Ratchet & Clank for sure!!!!! im such a huge fan of this series
47
kdiep | March 30th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
You guys suck, how about Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2? That game is way more exciting than any of the bs options you put up. You disappoint me greatly
48
chriscowboyd | March 30th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
The new PSN game will most likely be from UK developer Just Add Water and called Project V or the Gomibako game that was recently released in Japan.
49
Zezzler | March 30th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
I hope the new PSN Game is either Peggle or Bomberman Ultra.
Cant wait for the Takahshi interview either, I REALLY want multi-boy.
looks like a great week.
50
Thrasher20 | March 30th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Chris, I would say the PSBlog meetup but I couldn’t go :( I am though going to your guys’ next meetup for sure!
What about the big news for tomorrow? Is it a new firmware update? I hope Eric Lempel spills the beans :)
