What would ‘Urban Style” imply? Infamous 2 I hope!

Is the patch for the 3.00 update out yet? Has it been fixed? I haven’t downloaded 3.00 yet because it might hurt my PS3, so I’ll download 3.00 once it is patched, so I’ll get it when 3.01 or 3.1 is out. Come on PS3 community leaders, if you know that 3.00 is broken, why keep it up and still make it mandatory for users to download for online play!? Will there be an announcement when the update has been fixed?

@Roze. I downloaded 3.00 and haven’t had a problem. From what I’ve heard the only problem people are having with the update are with the white PS3 controllers, other than that I’ve not heard anything and I check sites that’d report it fairly often, so if you have a black sixaxis/DS3 you’ll be fine.

Make sure you check out the Exclusive Uncharted 2 Cinematic Mode Interview – Machinima.com to have your mind blown!

You have quite a few banners all over PlayStation.com that have the PLAYSTATION logo instead of the PlayStation one. For example the blog look up at the top.

tetsou9shima | September 6th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
WOW….Drakes fortune is just amazing. The whole ability now to make your own Drake movies?! And it’s so in depth….Just the fact that the lips will move with your speech through the headset is great. This game is going to be epic.

Nice job Jeff, here some news I found you in case anyone missed it:
EyePet preview:

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep new trailer:
http://www.siliconera.com/2009/09/04/kingdom-hearts-birth-by-sleep-coming-out-this-year/
On another note, I really like the new PS3 boxart designs, can’t wait to see which games this year will use that template.
And finally, how is the baby? I hope you’re having a nice time with your family ;)

Anyone know where I can recycle a dead PS3? I got YLOD’d 2 weeks ago and I don’t know what to do with this thing. I’m not buying a heat gun and/or soldering kit to try and fix it, I just bit my tongue and bought a slim (very nice BTW).

My first blog and am happy to report great news…Had an older friend come over and practically make fun of me because I bought almost everything..he basically looked at me and said”Get A Life”…lol..That was until I let him head to the Godfather 2 area and play cards..He got a taste of real interaction as the guy he beat jumped up from the table and told him a thing or 2..I saw his eyes open wide and grab the keyboard and say..Man..did that guy just boo me?lol…I said yes..Next thing I know..He’s in the bowling ally..Playing pool and all around LOVES it….He is in his 40’s…and called today and asked could he come and play…
Sony?You are wonderful.Thank you so much..and for the input,good and bad from this blog…

Hey, nice story. Thanks!

Kind of a tumultuous week, huh? Some good information here and there, but nothing that made me fall out of my chair with excitement. Looking forward to Demon’s Souls, and seriously considering preordering. One thing I’ve been wondering about is why it’s Demon’s (singular) and not Demons’ (plural)- please, please, please tell me this isn’t a massively overlooked typo.
@ mafecto (14)
That sort of discussion really belongs in the PlayStation.com forums, but as a quick response, you may be able to trade it in to Gamestop or wherever for a bit of change. The other option is just give it away on Craigslist (cheaper to repair a PS3 for $150 than buy a completely new one). You CAN take it to the electronics section of a dump, but given the alternatives (make money or make someone happy), why would you?

CondorMcG | September 6th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
wow, slow week.

Cheddare | September 6th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Hey sony this prolly isnt the right place but I got an 80gb 399.99 version of the ps3 (without the memory card readers and what not) and both my ds3 and uncharted dont work.
Just a heads up, Figured id let yah know since it might help with trouble shooting.
Love the blog :)
Kinda sucks my first comment has to be about problems but, really who cares you guys have done an awesome job so far one little inconvenience is no biggy.

Spathis | September 6th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
Rubenstein got any news on Zombie Apocalypse (Konami game)? I thought it was ment to come out in June, then August then September? Do we have a general timeframe from Konami?
Jeff Rubenstein replied on September 7, 2009 at 10:34 am
I do think it’s coming soon, and Konami has expressed interest in coming here to talk about it.
26
Zezzler | September 6th, 2009 at 5:11 pm
not a lot this week, but what there is, it is for sure quality stuff if Jeff think so (not to mention its mostly stuff i’d read)
i have a question though; will we be hear at all from Konami and/or Kojima about peace walker or Rising anytime soon? maybe at TGS?
Jeff Rubenstein replied on September 7, 2009 at 10:35 am
I’ll be at TGS, and hopefully Kojima and company are in a chatty mood. I’ve got no way to know at this point, however.

Jeff Rubenstein replied on September 7, 2009 at 10:37 am
I don’t know about “soon”, but yes, they’ll be back.

Yo Jeff, any update on the email issue??? I don’t want to miss any betas! PLEASE REPLY!
Jeff Rubenstein replied on September 7, 2009 at 10:36 am
I’ve been pretty well harassing that team :-) I know they’re looking into why that is, but apparently it’s not an easy fix.
32
fuifuimoimoi | September 6th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Hi Jeff
Sorry to keep pestering you about this but I would really like your advice on this. Should any fans looking out for an english language PS3 release of Tales of Vesperia give up already? Or is there still a remote possibility of it happening? I really wish Namco Bandai would just come out and say definitively they won’t be releasing it if they don’t intend to. I really would like to know what my options are.
Jeff Rubenstein replied on September 7, 2009 at 10:38 am
It’s up to NB as to the ‘if’ and the ‘when’. They’ve never said ‘no’, so I still retain hope.

OmegaSpartan08 | September 6th, 2009 at 6:16 pm

ILOVEPLASTATION3 | September 6th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
@Jeff, Chris, or Grace -
Any update on the psn mailing issue that MANY people are having? Many people at the forums are missing out on sony newsletters and betas due to this.
Thanks!

They had it at PAX, outside of the hall even, so anyone could play.

Jeff Rubenstein replied on September 7, 2009 at 10:40 am
I noticed this too. When the team is back in the office tomorrow, I expect this to be fixed almost immediately.

Can’t believe Soul Calibur: BD didn’t come out digitally on the PSN. That was a huge bummer for me this week.
Need to get that up there ASAP!!! :(
Seriously.

PlayStation 3 : It Does everything Except:
* Multi Task when Playing Music
* Play PS2 Games
* Cross Game Chat
* Add features without taking them away
Seriously what idiot is in charge over there that decided to essentially gut the good things out of the PS3.
Then you Go and Break Uncharted…… I’m demanding blood at this point.

I’ve seen alot of news after FW 3.0, but no one has made mention of the fact that ‘mobile phone’ is listed under Remote Access now. Which mobile phones are compatible with Remote access?? Would love to see my BB Storm listed.
