Isn’t it an Internet convention to automatically ban “FIRST” posters? :P
Anyways, another excellent week. The pace for E3 is getting built quite nicely so far. I can only wait to what surprises are coming our way. The MGS4 1-year anniversary is comming as well. Also, inFAMOUS is getting some great reviews!

Oh wait Canada isnt important to SCEA; no network cards; no video store; no contests; no free games.

Ratchet and Clank. If only they kept the name clock blockers. Anyway Zen Pinball is great. Physics are good and the tables are fun to play. Only gripe, why not map the shake the table button to the six axis?

At E3 do you guys think you could squeeze more info from Square-Enix about Final Fantasy Versus XIII?
PS Store Update was VERY 1337.
Uncharted 2 Gameplay and the Beta coming up is making me very excited.
The PS Blog currently owns the Internet.

but when will we start seeing inFAMOUS TV ADS..

Hey Chris, check the Blog’s twitter feed. I sent you a link so that you can search the blog using the search bar at the top menu of Firefox.
p.s. Awesome week for the Fight Night Round 4 pre-order demo. That has to be my favorite demo ever (inFamous demo is really close though).

Hey my PS3 just got the YLOD today. Do you have any insight as to wether I’m just unlucky or if there is a problem going? I got a 60GB PS3 about a year after launch and it only lasted about two years before it broke.

Just wanted to mention a lot of people stated after firmware update 2.76 that they could no longer play DIVX movies.
I tried last night and got the message too.
But when I originally went to the site that the PS3 tells you to go to set up DIVX, I created a DVD with the download that enables the PS3 to play the DIVX movies.
All I did after receiving the message that I couldn’t run DIVX movies, was to insert the burned disc I originally created when I input my PS3 DIVX code and all is up and running smoothly.
I can again play DIVX movies.

Seriously, visiting the PSBlog each day is one of my favorite things to do when I’m online. Great stuff always.
And Chris, if you don’t mind my asking, could you possibly mention to Square if they’ll be putting FFVII and other PSOne Classics that are already on the JP PS Store on the NA PS store?

+ GGCAN on May 16th, 2009 at 2:49 pm said:
Also thought I’d mention that anyone that had Trend micro set up for their PS3 for security.
Well, the free trial just ended on May 10/09 apparently when you check on your PS3.
You can get another 90 day trial at the moment, however after that, if you want this security, you’ll have to pay a fee.

@ TerryVSL
Why would you tell someone to get off the blog when he’s trying to be heard in the one place that it’s most likely to happen, the PS blog. This blog is where people come to voice their opinions why would you tell someone to go away when they’re doing just that? Sure it might be in the wrong post but update posts don’t come that often and the more Jeff and Chris see the message the more they know what we want.
I personally want every single one of those features he listed and I am glad that there’s people dedicated enough to keep asking for them.
——————————————–
Now for my post on this week, it seemed like a slow week but it was a good one at that. Great Uncharted videos popping up and a free game, can’t beat that.

@9 DeMoNiCMeMBeR
What don’t you understand about ‘Sponsored by Sprint’? Your issue is with them.
PSN cards arrive in Canada end of May … EB Games is accepting pre orders.
No Vid Store – iTunes was over 2 years before launching Canadian vid store, LIVE was over 1 later in Canada than US for Vid store…PSN Vid Store has been around less than 1 year…perhaps my second point corrects this issue.
Contests – It is RARE that contests are the same in the US and Canada…get over it.
@28 Agree

Best post of the week imo Bionic Commando: Seeing Capcom twist in the wind was fun.

@43, from experience I know they made games region free and then region locked DLC. Anyway, the point is I or any other person shouldn’t have to import it. By most accounts the game is good, it’s in English and it helps fill a gap in the PS3 library. It’s a no-brainer to release it in the West but then again Sony haven’t been renowned for their marketing decisions this generation.

+ LokeSTL on May 17th, 2009 at 9:03 am said:
I’m with Kenshin71 on that. Bring it to the US and I’ll buy it. I refuse to import because a) it costs more b) I want my purchase to reflect on what sells in the region I live c) importing instead of requesting a local release shows that this way of getting a game is acceptable. I refused to import the region free Breath of Fire on the PSP for these same reasons.
