Two New PS3 Bundles Coming to Europe
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.
Forthcoming PSOne Titles Bound for PSN
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!!
Haze to be Released this May?
Posted by Gary in H, PS3, PS3 software on February 27th, 2008
I’m finding it really hard to get excited over a game that’s been delayed so many times. If it wasn’t for the pedigree of developers Free Radical Design (Timesplitters) then I would’ve stopped caring a long time ago.
Gamasutra are saying Haze is now due out May (that’s 2008 not 2009 
) so I hope the extra work done on Haze has been worth it.
To be honest, I’m quite sick of FPS at this moment in time. I’ve played CoD4, HL2: The Orange Box and Resistance over the past 6 months and beyond and I’ve had my fill of FPS. It’s an over saturated genre anyway, so it’s going to be interesting to see if Haze can make the grade.
MGS4 Release Date and Bundle [Update]
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

DualShock 3 Dated For US
Posted by Blackstaffer in PS3 on February 26th, 2008
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.
