Sorry for being so late, been one of those weekends haha.

There weren’t any major announcements this week. There were some problems with the AVP Hunter Edition codes, and if they haven’t been fixed, those should start working later this week (by the 25th). Square also got a little heat for releasing a press pack with identical screenshots of FFXIII, with the button prompts of each console edited into them. There had also been a supposed “significant” amount of content cut from Lost Planet 2, supposedly due to disc space (which seems like it’s becoming more and more of a problem, despite what many would think).

There are also a few trailers this week to check out as well, including the debut trailer of Aliens vs Predator. I’m going to be renting that myself. As far as rumors goes, there’s a chance Valve might start developing for the PS3, and the next Call of Duty most likely taking place during the cold war (one theater being Vietnam).

Also, in the forums, there has been some discussion about error code 8003200D, which a lot of users are/have been experiencing this week in the “What’s New?” area of the XMB, and when pressing X on it, that particular error comes up. It only affects that and nothing else (like online play, the Store and Home). After looking into it, it’s not a hardware or software problem, it’s a server side issue, much like the trophy syncing problems many of us had. What caused it? There was a scheduled maintenance window earlier last week, and a change may have affected it after the work was done. That’s what seems to be the most logical reason, anyway. Give it time and it will be resolved, but this is all on Sony’s side of things, not the users, so no need to freak out or anything!

Anyway, be sure to check out the rest of the recap!

OK, later tonight, the winner for the Heavy Rain giveaway will be announced. oly1kenobi flooded the damned site with submissions, winning him Contributor of the Week. He must not have a life :P.

Not much else beyond that, so here are this week’s recognitions (25 main, 5 Quick).

Sweetness. This week will be the release of one major title in Heavy Rain, so be sure to pick that up if you hadn’t won it! With more members coming aboard to help with submitting news, things should really start picking up, including activity (the forums are definitely a lot busier than even 2 weeks ago, which is great!). Not sure what the next contest will be, but it will be cool nonetheless.
