    TRON controllers will be available for purchase

    Rejoice user! Devin won't be keeling over from auto-erotic asphyxiation after all. The TRON controllers that he saw at E3 and threatened to hold his breath over? Well, they are going to be for sale. To be honest, I haven't considered replacing my stock Xbox 360 controllers until this point, but now I'm afraid I have no choice.

  • Supremacy MMA: Is there enough interest for a video game not based on UFC or Strikeforce?

    Supremacy MMA: Is there enough interest for a video game not based on UFC or Strikeforce?

    Word on the street (Wall Street, that is) is that UFC Undisputed 2010 didn't sell nearly as well as the previous game. There could be a few reasons for that, chief among them that people already had their UFC thirst quenched, so to speak. It was genuinely exciting to play a game with the modern roster (the last game before UFC Undisputed 2009 came out in 2004). The question now becomes, is the world ready for yet another MMA game? I speak not of EA Sports MMA but of Supremacy MMA, a game being developed for the Xbox 360 and PS3 by Kung Fu Factory, published by 505 Games.

    Sony PlayStation Move Charging Station: $29, charges two Move controllers simultaneously

    Buried in the depth's of Sony's online archives were these photos of the PlayStation Move Charging Station, a device we don't remember seeing at the big E3 booth. Or maybe we're blind. In any event: the Charging Station, as the name implies, charges your Move controllers. Up to two at a time, too.

    E3 2010: Hands-on with the surprisingly good AAA: Heroés del Ring

    Rather than use E3 to pile on the mountains and mountains of hype of the big-bidget titles, I've elected to sprinkle through our coverage the small little gems that might otherwise go unnoticed. First on the docket is AAA: Héores del Ring a lucha libre (Mexican-style higly-flying pro-wrestling) game that'll hit your Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and PSP on August 10 of this year. I had some quality time with it this morning and I can say this: I left the booth absolutely shocked at how thorough the game is.

    Up close with PS3 Move

    Our own little Peter Ha had a great hands-on with the PS3 Move at Sony's HQ in California. Interestingly, Monsieur Ha believes "After seeing what Kinect is capable of, I'm 100% positive that Sony PlayStation Move has won this round."

  • Your first 3D PS3 games launch tomorrow, including Wipeout HD

    Your first 3D PS3 games launch tomorrow, including Wipeout HD

    OK, Wipeout HD is a fine, fine game, but how will it look in 3D? Probably disappointing, if only because it's going to have to be run in a rubbish resolution in order for the PS3 to create the stereoscopic image. Kvetching aside, Sony will release four stereoscopic 3D games for the PS3 tomorrow: Wipeout HD, Super Stardust, PAIN, and Motor Storm Pacific Rift. You will, of course, need a 3D TV to appreciate the extra dimensionality.

  • Thank you papa Sony for the HDMI

    Thank you papa Sony for the HDMI

    There is nothing worse then getting home after buying a PS3 - for use as a Blu-ray - and realizing no one told you the box comes missing one important item. If this happened to you, then you know how it felt to watch a Blu-ray through component because Sony decided to skip out on the HDMI cable.

    Sony: 3D will really shine once the games start hitting it off

    "Not a fan of 3D movies? Wait till you play 3D games, that's when the technology will really shine." Not an exact quote, but that's the spirit of what Sony Computer Entertainment Europe President Andrew House said in a recent interview. The idea is that, OK, 3D movies may be just sorta there, but it's sitting there and playing something like WipeOut HD in 3D where you'll really gain an appreciation for the medium.

    What’s the deal with Red Dead Redemption?

    Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption came in the mail on Tuesday, and my first course of action was to call the Ron and Fez Show on Sirius XM. “Hey, guys, I see your names in the credits. You rock!” Calling the show and talking to East Side Dave (by the way, SAVE DAVE) and Ron was [...]

  • PSN Premium rumor has the Internets shaking in its boots

    PSN Premium rumor has the Internets shaking in its boots

    In my lower moments I can be found browsing various message boards, watching mere children argue over what video game console is superior, the Xbox 360 or the PS3. No, I'm not lying, sad as that may be. Eventually the PS3 supporters whip out this gem: "Yeah, well at least we don't have to pay to play online," which is a clever dig at Xbox Live's $50 price tag. Don't tell them this rumor, then: Sony will unveil a PSN Premium at E3 next month, and it will cost money.

    Sony burns Air Force by killing Linux on the PS3

    Remember that 2,300 unit PS3 order that the Air Force put together to build a supercomputing cluster? Well, file this one under "unintended consequences" because when Sony killed the "other OS" option on the PS3 they definitely made things difficult.

  • Sony sales numbers reveal surging PS3, waning PSP

    Sony sales numbers reveal surging PS3, waning PSP

    Sony just released the numbers from the last fiscal year (April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010). The good news (for Sony and its shareholders, at least) is that PS3 sales were up quite a bit from the previous year, going from 10.1 million sold to 13 million this year. The bad news is that PSP sales have hit a bump in the road, going from 14.1 million in to 9.9 million. Translating those numbers into English, that means that the PS3 is doing a heck of a lot better than it ever was, and that the PSP, well, isn't.

    Sony offers extended warranties for PS3, PSP

    Looks like Sony now offers extended warranties for the PS3 and PSP. It's not free, of course, but it's not like the prices outrageous either, with prices ranging from $30 to $60.
