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…
Jeff Rubenstein replied on May 24, 2009 at 4:03 pm
You’ll definitely want to be following the blog during E3 week.

perrandy | May 24th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
10 days left for e3! i cant hardly wait for the megatons lol :P

PullusPardusUS | May 24th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
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

PullusPardusUS | May 24th, 2009 at 12:31 pm

MegadethAndy | May 24th, 2009 at 12:31 pm

skynidas | May 24th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
This was a very nice week for news, and im sure that the next two weeks will be even better.
I´m hoping for news on some PSN games like Fat Princess or The Punisher.
Jeff Rubenstein replied on May 24, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Punisher update coming this Friday.

Thrasher20 | May 24th, 2009 at 12:36 pm

Man PSP is kicking ass, and with all these great games coming out its gonna be a great year, i only hope that they one day bring the Bleach: Heat the Soul series to the USA.
Jeff Rubenstein replied on May 24, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Without question, 2009 brings the best software lineup that the PSP has ever had.

asop89 | May 24th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
There was a couple of good stuff this passed week from the DLC of Fallout 3 to the gameplay videos of Heavy Rain… I can’t wait for Heavy Rain… I liked that ARI mode in it & my real name is Ari too!!!! W00T!!!

Jeff Rubenstein replied on May 24, 2009 at 4:10 pm

hyperslug | May 24th, 2009 at 1:30 pm

Darkos87 | May 24th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
I never heard of Jamie Kennedy, but I saw that video, and know he’s a ****ing d-bag.
Jeff Rubenstein replied on May 24, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Harsh words, friend! Didn’t you see Scream? :-)

mixenitup | May 24th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
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 :)
26
Vengeful-Chaos | May 24th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
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.
27
Vengeful-Chaos | May 24th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
Ugh watching tv and typing isn’t very good. I ment to say “my 25th bday is less than a month or so away”

katsuo7171 | May 24th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
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 replied on May 24, 2009 at 4:12 pm
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.

The_Klaw | May 24th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Oh yes! The fallout 3 announcement made me jump of joy!
I have the original and have playerd it for quite a while now, but damn, once that goty edition comes out, i’m going to create a new character and play for another whopping 150 hours (LEAST)
A big cheers to bethesda for successfully making fallout 3 an everlasting game!

Great things are coming out for PSN in next few months like,Fat Princess,Battlefield 1943, Resident Evil, but i was wondering if there will be more games my girlfriend could be playing on PSN , something about cooking or any other time management game there is no games like that on PSN
38
Destiny89 | May 24th, 2009 at 4:44 pm

mikedo2007 | May 24th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
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.

TRIX_BOL | May 24th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
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.
Jeff Rubenstein replied on May 24, 2009 at 5:43 pm
Got your PM – I’ve forwarded this query on to the Home team. They should address it in their next Home post.

MrBeatdown | May 24th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
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…
