PS3 firmware 3.0 hit consoles across the globe today, coinciding with the worldwide launch of the PS3 Slim. Oddly enough, they didn’t come together in a single package. Silly Sony, you’re oh so clumsy!
Anyway. The new firmware hit today to make everything spangly and new, like the new baby console. Has it done the job? [...]

Dear lord, it never ends, does it? It’s been a while since I’ve had a good moan about Sony officially sucking in Europe, but I think it’s high time I had a go at them again because they evidently lack any sort of cerebral cortex whatsoever when it comes to common business sense.

In Episode 63 of the Blu Show the crew all manage to show up at once again! We discuss Ubisoft’s plans for 3D gaming (and why you likely won’t be enjoying it), LBP getting new creation tools, and threatening national security with your PSP.  We also discuss the surprising PS3-exclusive shooter with the most popularity [...]

Okay, things are going a little too far in the LittleBigPlanet deletion debacle. While, as I reasoned last week, that levels in the game based on actual franchises will probably be deleted by Sony moderators (despite doing no harm to any franchise concerned), I didn’t expect levels that are entirely original to be swept up [...]
