Now that Sony are the sole high-def movie format their are going to be a lot more people who decide to get a blu-ray player.
Play.com reported a massive rise in sales of Blu-ray player sales after the Toshiba hd-dvd pull out.
Sony make it easy for them, get a PS3 with movies in one pack. Clever.

Minimee5902d ago

The weird thing is that the Playstation 3 alone already costs 399€ in Europe... :/

Shouldn't it say 40Gb?

Hehe I know how it is with a word nazi in every thread. :P

vloeistof5901d ago (Edited 5901d ago )

someone here said that this bundle would come.
sony should make a gta iv bundle 2 later on.

TheMART5901d ago

So when are you going to bring the white consoles to Europe Sony?

2009? 2010? 2011? NEVER???

I wanted a white PSP to match my 360, it even is mentioned on the Dutch Sony website, but they're only available in Japan (as is the white PS3 also). Since summer last year no white PSP has been seen outside of Japan.

So needed to import one because Sony is delaying forever all their stuff, hardware and software/games....

achira5901d ago

in germany the white psp is at least for 1.5 years available. i have bought one, so i know it. i am waiting for a white ps3 also. have a white + black psp, and a want a white + black ps3 (for me and girlfriend, lol). you right, thigs take time, but when they get released everyone is happy. by the way i imported the ps3 from japan, and i dont regress it.

TheMART5901d ago

Achira.... I mean the PSP Slim in ceramic white, not the old fat one.

I wanted 64MB Ram, Skype, less heavy etc...

scoobysnacks5901d ago

Just upgraded my psp to the slim, and the white as well as the black has been available in the UK since September last year. I would of thought that if the UK has it, then the rest of the EU would also, I could be wrong in that assumption though.

You really can't get it where your from Mart?

TheMART5901d ago

Nope Scooby,

In the Netherlands for sure not. UK you maybe have some import there then. Same as the white PS2, it's in USA but still not here.

But well I got my Slim ceramic white and got the O and X functions normal again (Japanese are switched) with making it having custom firmware and region Europe on fake I got Skype and GO!Messenger also.

So I'm fine now. But not thanks to Sony, but thanks to Dark Alex :P

scoobysnacks5901d ago

In UK the white is available under normal retail, not import. When I upgraded my old psp to the new slim in the UK store "Game", I had the option of black or white, no silver however (which i wanted, but I believe the silver is available in Germany). Would be nice if Sony could make all variations of the PSP available in all countries.

Hopefully something they will sort out soon.

SUP3R5901d ago

I thought Mart lives in the US?

ravinash5901d ago

White PSP slim is in the UK, so they are out there.

... because now instead of just a PS3 and joypad, you get 3 movies thrown or an extended demo thrown in for free. Better than nothing, and it costs nothing extra.

Personally though, I'm more interested in the Ratchet + Uncharted package, except that I'm waiting for the new controllers to come out before I buy a PS3. In 2 months I'll be in HK, so I'll probably be able to pick some of those new (white) controllers up over there, for half the price they would cost over here.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies8h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken4h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6919h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker19h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6919h ago(Edited 19h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt7h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken4h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 1h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto1d ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies14h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
