this have been a good week overall. i cant hardly wait for what sony is going to announce at tgs(i hope we get anything of whatever game/service is announced)

anyways, i’m happy to report that since the update 3.01 my ps3 has gone back to normal. no more ethernet disconnections or the like…

kudos to eric and company for this firmware!

Berae  |  September 20th, 2009 at 12:06 pm

Demons souls and afrika on same date! i wish afrika would have been release in september anyway ill buy both

As for Star ocean, it was impossible for that game to stay on xbox only… its a playstation game what pisses me off tho if that they probably know they didnt do enough money with it on xbox only and now they want our money… square enix is such an a** lately especially his president

drownedphoniex  |  September 20th, 2009 at 12:09 pm

Star Ocean 4 coming to PS3… Yay!!!

And Jeff, make sure to tell Naughty Dog they made one hell of a game.

Jeff Rubenstein replied on September 20, 2009 at 12:25 pm

Sure, but you can tell them too:

It’s been a good week! Psyched about SO4 :D

Jon_Mclane  |  September 20th, 2009 at 12:15 pm

I don’t know if it’s news or rumor but 1up announced Yakuza 3 is coming to North America and Europe. Their usually right with this stuff. They also first announced the psp go and on their podcast revealed what the last guardian trailer was about months before it was shown. Here’s a link anyways

piro_z  |  September 20th, 2009 at 12:31 pm

arctic egde looks really cool but recently my analog stick on my psp is drifting and 1 of the screws holding the faceplate is jammed… help :(

BlooodyCow  |  September 20th, 2009 at 12:33 pm

If you are a gamer and have a PS3 or planning on getting a PS3, you need to buy Uncharted 2 dammit. It is the best game to be release this generation and I know it and you know it.

klg2008  |  September 20th, 2009 at 12:34 pm

FIX THE GOD DAMN FIRMWEAR SONY MY PS3 WILL WORK FINE ASIDES FOR GAME WILL PLAY FOR 5-10 MINS THEN FREEZES BUT CDS AND MOVIES WORK GREAT FIX FIX FIX

FallenKnight1598  |  September 20th, 2009 at 12:40 pm

Still just waiting for Sony to upgade our chat options to include party chat where we can choose who we talk to & hear while playing games, and also Cross game chat so that we can talk to any of are friends at any given time even if the are all playing different games.

bball230  |  September 20th, 2009 at 12:40 pm

Will most of the information at TGS be availible in english as well?

I hope so, because the last thing i want to do is watch a bunch of videos in Japanese. (hopefully theres some sort of translation with all info)

Jeff Rubenstein replied on September 20, 2009 at 6:08 pm

I promise not to post anything in Japanese :-D

DeviantBoi  |  September 20th, 2009 at 12:42 pm

Jeff, how about doing a preview on Monday of what’s coming up during the week? You used to do it for a while, but I don’t think I’ve seen it recently.

FallenKnight1598  |  September 20th, 2009 at 12:43 pm

I would also like it if they where to make it so I can use my own pictures as my avatar, would that be so hard for you to let us do Sony ?

ILOVEPLASTATION3  |  September 20th, 2009 at 12:49 pm

Avatars soon? I really want to see if the new ones change the way we use the xmb…or if they take over the grey friend’s list boxes with unique designs.

Also e-mail update? lol

CRONIC_GAMER  |  September 20th, 2009 at 12:52 pm

Well Jeff did you get time to play batman or what? Tgs comming up are you ready?

Jeff Rubenstein replied on September 20, 2009 at 6:08 pm

I should hopefully beat it tonight… I won’t leave without having conquered Arkham!

piratedrunk  |  September 20th, 2009 at 1:06 pm

With those sales figures I hope that means they will be announcing Tales of Vesperia for North America at TGS.

taekw0nd0j0  |  September 20th, 2009 at 1:07 pm

I want to know more about Jak and Daxter. I want to know why it isnt ND making it. And why not on PS3. I wont consider The Lost Frontier as part of the main series.

Jeff Rubenstein replied on September 20, 2009 at 6:10 pm

You may have noticed, but Naughty Dog has been a bit busy…

quiomar01  |  September 20th, 2009 at 1:12 pm

good list. dying to play R&CF: CiT, Uncharted 2, and Arctic Edge. Any word on new dynamic themes? I would love an uncharted one.Maybe bringing the Wipeout and Afrika ones over to the US?

lcmnick  |  September 20th, 2009 at 1:12 pm

Just curious Jeff, why did you stop the “this week on PS blog” posts on Monday? I liked them…it set me up for the week :P

Jeff Rubenstein replied on September 20, 2009 at 6:11 pm

Well, from time to time I suggested something would be announced, and then it wasn’t, for whatever reason. I’d hate to be a tease…

jBat17  |  September 20th, 2009 at 1:16 pm

star ocean in less than 6 months?

maybe it’s an improved version – actually HD this time not 540p.

i love it when xbox owners beta-test our games.

KazeEternal  |  September 20th, 2009 at 1:17 pm

Jeff Let Eric know that we want the pause feature on the standard PSP. There is no good reason that feature should be PSP Go exclusive.

EwanSpence  |  September 20th, 2009 at 1:34 pm

On those long flights over to TGS, you might want a listen to the lates episode of The PSP Show (http://psp.thepodcastnetwork.com/) with the latest news and this week’s review being GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Perfect podcast for the ten minutes in the week you have free.

mikedo2007  |  September 20th, 2009 at 1:42 pm

I was excited to hear Star Ocean 4 is coming to the PS3. The good news is that this game will have not only English but also Japanese (also in French, German, Spanish and other languages). Joystiq and Kotaku has talked about this also. Also, I heard the PS3 Slim has been doing well also.

Clay10713  |  September 20th, 2009 at 1:44 pm

I didn’t imagine the eagles losing that bad…hope McNabb comes back soon

Jeff Rubenstein replied on September 20, 2009 at 6:11 pm

Probably week 5.

agentxray  |  September 20th, 2009 at 1:51 pm

You forgot to post a link to all the sites where people are talking about how the 3.00 and 3.01 firmware upgrades have broken the bluRay capability of their PS3’s. Sony, please address this issue!

starBlinky01  |  September 20th, 2009 at 1:59 pm

Oh Hey to you too, as if we snuck up on you.

Jeff Rubenstein replied on September 20, 2009 at 6:12 pm

The blog post did. I was watching football!

CRONIC_GAMER  |  September 20th, 2009 at 2:01 pm

Can you do a holiday launch blog about all the games coming out around Christmas I see games I want but I don’t know when there coming out if Sony did something like a “wish list” feature were people could pre-order games from there ps3 that would be awesome

bayouboyz  |  September 20th, 2009 at 2:07 pm

Still waiting for my MAG beta code.

dulcediana  |  September 20th, 2009 at 2:12 pm

Yah Yakuza 3!!!! please sony help Sega advertising the game!!!

If a borefest game like Halo ODST can be a seller its cuz the advertisment now a masterpiece like Yakuza 3 and with Yakuza 4 coming also only for Ps3 this franchise can become a system seller!

cybershinigami87  |  September 20th, 2009 at 2:14 pm

I didn’t get a beta code for MAG and i’ve been a subcriber since August? Is there someone I can contact?

Jeff Rubenstein replied on September 20, 2009 at 6:13 pm

Them.

ProwlingFox  |  September 20th, 2009 at 2:36 pm

jeff i had a 103 degree fever on wednesday :(

Jeff Rubenstein replied on September 20, 2009 at 6:14 pm

I think it’s 103 here today. And it sucks for both of us.

WilsonPhillips-X  |  September 20th, 2009 at 2:40 pm

Everyone should read the Demon’s Souls article on Gamasutra. This is by far the best game this generation, and on of the best games ever (in my opinion). The article sums it all up really nicely.

Pelt_Hunter  |  September 20th, 2009 at 2:59 pm

I read from a linked article on BluesNews that we are getting Zombie Apocalypse this next upcoming PS store update. That right there is gonna be an immediate buy, fantastic to see great games are finally starting to hit the store. Let’s just hope Trine drops the say day considering the Euro store already got it. And don’t tell me the workaround in which I can sign up for an EU account and buy it and then log in on my US account to play it. I don’t want to go through the trouble. I just want everything they have to be on my store at the same time. As Chef from South Park used to say before he became an asshole, “simultaneously lovin’ baby”

TRIX_BOL  |  September 20th, 2009 at 3:02 pm

Hello Jeff, hope you enjoy at Tokyo.
And don’t forget to bring us all you can (much more interviews & videos) from the show. ;-)

By the way, we’re still waiting for those ‘free and premium avatars’ that were promised awhile ago!

Steve519  |  September 20th, 2009 at 3:02 pm

Here is a link for those of you looking for MAG codes, http://www.platformnation.com/2009/09/17/the-great-128-code-mag-giveaway/

Nick-30  |  September 20th, 2009 at 3:03 pm

Hey Jeff,

Is there any way you could ask the devolpement team if they could do an update for the ps3 so you can delete trohy games in `my trophies`that you have 0% in.

Also to delete trophy games that you have some trophies in that way if you can`t get 100% in it and your a completionist.

Please reply, thanks.

mafecto  |  September 20th, 2009 at 3:05 pm

Will it be possible in the future listening to our own songs while we play in games like FIFA, PES and GT5?

Thanks

jBat17  |  September 20th, 2009 at 3:47 pm

@31

i just read the article. it’s well-written and spoiler-free. thanks to jeff for letting us know about it.

and it’s too bad that not a lot of gamers will get to experience this masterpiece.. unless atlus spends big time on advertising this game.

BigBoss712  |  September 20th, 2009 at 3:54 pm

Hoping for a Tales of Vesperia US release soon.
