Some cool cancave triggers were included in a magazine in Europe a while back, and pretty soon you’ll be able to buy similar ones here in North America for only $10 at Amazon.

I think it’s a neat idea. I’d like to try them out, but I think I’ll wait for some reliability reports first!

NeoGAF - PSN Content 02/28/08

Kotaku is reporting that Sony is showing off just what Home integration could mean for PS3 videogames.

First up, Kotaku mentions this:

Resistance is said to provide Home visitors with an interesting room to explore, one that will let PlayStation 3 owners visit unseen areas of the game and tap into bonus content in the form of “intercepted” radio communications between European and U.S. forces.

These hidden transmissions will help to flesh out the Resistance story, giving players a better understanding of the game’s conflict. We hear that Home avatars will have free roam of unpopulated levels, not unlike a virtual Resistance museum.

But it gets better! Uncharted will supposedly get a similar feature - allowing your avatar to walk through Uncharted levels, but they also add this:

According to our sources, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune comes to Home armed with a side-scrolling 2D arcade game, described to us as reminiscent of both Contra and Out Of This World. Sounds kind of like Capcom’s 2D remake of Bionic Commando in its execution, full of enemies and exploding barrels to shoot.

But it gets even better! Warhawk / Home integration sounds the coolest of all:

Sure, you could do that with text or voice chat, but it sounds like the developers have gone the extra mile to make planning your battles even cooler.

Using a three-dimensional “sand table” replication of the level, Warhawk players are said to be able to lay out their strategies in a properly scaled space. They’ll even be able to place little army men avatars around the map to envision their formations, something we hope they can also do with teeny tiny Warhawk planes, tanks and Jeeps.

The Warhawk war room is said to also serve as a launchpad for games, thankfully, so jumping into a match shouldn’t require leaving the Home interface.

I’ve admitted before to being somewhat skeptical about the actual usefulness of Home. But if this is a portent of things to come, I’m totally there!

You’ve all probably read about the MGS4 Bundle that hasn’t been confirmed for Europe yet.

Well there are two new bundles coming soon to Euro land, both priced at £299.99 (399.99 euros) :

PS3 MOVIE PACK, AVAILABLE MARCH 19TH:

GRAN TURISMO 5 PROLOGUE PACK, AVAILABLE MARCH 25TH:

They really should put a remote and HDMI cable in the movie pack. It would make it a lot more enticing to people looking for a cheap Blu-ray player.

Two New PS3 Bundles Coming to Europe

Seems as though European ratings board, PEGI, has leaked a list of forthcoming PSOne titles that are heading for the Euro PS Store:

# Bust a Groove
# Crash Bandicoot 3
# Colony Wars
# Cool Boarders 2
# Cool boarders 3
# Destruction Derby 2
# Devil Dice
# Everybody’s Golf
# Klonoa
# Kurushi Final
# Motor Toon Grand Prix
# Namco Museum
# Namco Museum 2
# Namco Museum 4
# Omega Boost
# Ridge Racer
# Ridge Racer Type 4
# Rollcage
# Spyro: Year of the Dragon
# Tekken 2
# Tekken 3
# Twisted Metal
# Vib Ribbon
# Wip3out
# WipeOut 2097

When these titles are due is anyones guess but I wouldn’t hold your breath. I’m still waiting for Resi 1, Vagrant Story, FFVII (I have it on disc but still…) etc.

I’ve been tempted to get a PSP again (sold my last one to a friend) just for the PSOne games that I can put on it!!

PSOne Titles Headed for Euro PSN

I have a friend attending Destination Playstation. He just sent me a text with some exciting info. MGS4 will be released on June 12, 2008. It will be bundled with a 80GB PS3 with a Dual Shock 3 as well. This will be great for those people that haven’t got a PS3 yet and want to jump in.

Side note for PSP Users:

There will be a Blood Red PSP bundled with God of War in June. Which is odd, because that game is out next week.

[Update]

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots PS3 Bundle
To coincide with the much-anticipated North American launch of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots in late Q2 2008, SCEA will introduce a PS3 bundle, which will include an 80GB PS3, the upcoming blockbuster Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and a DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller for $499.99 (MSRP).

As has been announced previously, MGS4 will include a Metal Gear Online “Starter Pack.” If you can’t wait to try out MGS4, the good news is you don’t have to much longer. Those who pre-order the game will be guaranteed access to a multiplayer beta test for Metal Gear Online scheduled for late April.

Where can I pre-order??! I want in on that Beta

Destination PlayStation News: MGS PS3 Bundle, Kratos PSP and DualShock3 Release Date

Kotaku says that the DualShock 3 is coming out for the PS3 on April 15th for $54.99. Meh. I have one already.

We have more word from retailer conference Destination PlayStation: the DualShock 3—you know, that DualShock we’ve been waiting for since the PS3’s launch—has gotten a US release date.

Set to launch April 15th for $54.99, it’s slated to coincide with the release of GT5 Prologue. Oh yes, feel those engines roar through your controller and make your SIXAXIS-wielding friends envious…like they’re just playing a video game or something.

Announcements: DualShock 3 Dated For US

Update: confirmed
