PlayStation Around the Web: What We Read

Hope you’re enjoying this long weekend!

However, it seems as if you’re stuck inside for a bit, reading on your computer. Since you have a second, we’d like to talk to you about our plight. We’re quite proud that our Twitter account eclipsed the 30-thousand-follower barrier this week. We thank you if you count yourself as one of that number.

But it’s not enough. No, we don’t expect to catch Shaq, Ashton Kutcher, or even Qore’s Veronica Belmont anytime soon. We’re setting our sights lower. We’re setting our sights on: Jamie Kennedy.

No, we don’t have any personal grudge against Mr. Kennedy. Yes, Malibu’s Most Wanted was a waste of 2 hours of life. Yes, he maligned gamers at E3 2007. But really, it’s just that he has a few hundred more Twitter followers than we do.

Please help us in this Twitter Takedown – Follow us today!

Heavy Rain looks off the hook.

The ARI happening in real-time is insane…it looks so good!

Don’t know if you can say anything Jeff, but I’m sure Sony has some surprises to show at E3…will The Blog be the first place to post such news…or I will I have to look elsewhere for PS news…

2 days till infamous… that would surely take off the wait for E3
the demo was amazing it felt like the first time i played Spiderman 2 , many sandbox games tried to copy that but non came close. but Infamous blows it out of the water.
Sucker Punch FTW

cool I like the article stating that they will release a fallout copy in august with all 5 DLCs (3 current and two new) for the PS3. I have played it once through on pc without any DLC so it will be nice to play the game on my ps3 and get all the trophies :).
As a newly addicted trophy hunter this is good news :)

As much as I don’t like Jamie Kennedys acting I despise twitter and other sites like it even more. Sorry Jeff count me out of this one.

I can’t believe how awesome the inFamous demo was, my 25th birthday :| so perhaps if someone asks me what i’d like i’ll mention inFamous.

Can’t wait for inFAMOUS. I just got my downloadable superpower from gamestop today. Oh and since we are on that topic I have a question. On the voucher it says Valid *6/2/09-9/24/09. Does this mean I can’t use the power until Sony’s E3 press confrence? Cause I think I might be finished with the game by then…. I was expecting to use it the first day, then finish the game and play Unchared 2 beta when it comes out on the 6/1/09.

Thanks
- Jeff Rubenstein
  May 24, 2009 at 4:12 pm PDT
  
  I think that\’s because the voucher was printed before we moved the release date up a week. It *should* be fine to download on Tuesday, but I\’ll need to verify.

Jeff, congrats to Singtar. I have a quick question. How come Sony hasn’t release Singstar in Japan. When it comes to Karoake, Japan is really big on it. Did you know Karoake game in Japan are really popular. Doesn’t Sony have music label in Japan also. Why don’t Sony try releasing Singstar in Japan, that game may get a sleeper hit over there and boost the sales of PS3 and PS2 because of Singstar.

Hey Jeff, I am a bit confused…

I received an e-mail on Thursday about inFAMOUS Demo that says: THE FREE* PSN DEMO ALSO UNLOCKS A FREE COLE COSTUME FOR YOUR PLAYSTATION®HOME AVATAR.

I have played the Demo twice, but when I log in PlayStation®Home nothing pops-up. However I have tried to find it on my wardrobe or at threads in the Mall.

  Got your PM – I\’ve forwarded this query on to the Home team. They should address it in their next Home post.

Glad to see Tomb Raider is finally getting the trophy patch. I’ve been holding off on playing my copy since they announced it. Figures it comes during a week where inFamous will be sucking up my time.

Now if we can just get trophies for MGS4…
