Lost Planet is coming to the PS3.

In E3, Pre Order, XBOX, exclusive, gamestop, lost planet 2, playstation on June 3, 2009 by Social Gamer

I was looking up games on the Gamestop website to see what games have been added since the start of E3 2009 and found a listing for Lost Planet 2 for the PS3.?

I think this is more of a timed exclusive like the first game.
Well just in case I screen shot it for evidence..LoL

Here’s the Gamestop link.

E3NEWS: A lot of E3 2009 information coming….

In 2009, E3, Nintendo, Wii, XBOX, pictures, playstation, previews, ps3, rumors, videogames, videos, xbl on May 21, 2009 by Social Gamer

I do not have any one direction for posting my E3 press releases, videos and/or audio.
So from today until E3 is over I will be posting smaller and more frequent posts.
Just like the last posts with video game trailers. I will credit all source credits for all of my E3 News. I will try my hardest to get any video I find or receive.
Happy Gaming and sit tight.

Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny (PSP Trailer)

In Portable, broken destiny, fighter, playstation, psp, soul calibur on May 11, 2009 by Social Gamer

Once I saw this trailer I knew that if you own a PSP and love playing fighting games then the question is not should you get it. The question is when and were can you get it. This is by far the best looking Soul Cal game not including the PS3 or Xbox 360 versions.

Now back to SC on my 360.

Grand Opening of Gamestop Flagship store.

In 360, deals, gamestop, playstation, retail, shop, social, videogames on February 3, 2009 by Social Gamer Tagged: , , ,

Today was a horrible and and the same time it was grand..!

Today we are having one of the worst snow storms this season, IMO.  I guess that is the worst part of it..LoL

Now for the GRAND part of this post. Today was the Grand opening of the Cranston, RI Gamestop Flagship retail store. The store is normally packed to gills with customers but the storm was freaking bad, I was even scared to leave the store since I had to drive about a half hour and with the snow storm it was more like 45 minutes or so. But for the sake of getting these photos out to all of my Twitter followers. I had planned to live Tweet the photos from my iPhone but I thought it would be easier for me to take the photos first then get home and update the blog.

I won’t write much more on this post as I have added captions to all of the photos them selves. I hope you enjoy these pictures, I took them with my iPhone and the Darkroom App.  So without further a do here they are.

Well there ya have it. I probably could have taken more but the customers and staff were looking at me funny. LoL

I don’t know if you’ve ever shopped at a Flagship Gamestop before but from my point of view and from buying games from the company for more years than I can remember, it’s the best experience I have ever had in a Gamestop store. The whole mood and environment was really fun.

I actually wanted to stay longer but the winter storm was telling me to get home before it was to late. LoL

Talk to you all soon,

PlayStation Home hacked

In PSN, Playstation 3, Virtual worlds, home, networking, playstation, social, storage on October 24, 2008 by Social Gamer Tagged: , , , , ,

Hackers, like life, will find a way. Sony knows that all too well thanks to the PSP, but so far the PlayStation 3 has stood strong in the face of legions of nerds trying to find a way to exploit it. A potentially major breakthrough may have been made, though, as well-known PS3 hacker StreetskaterFU (we’ve no idea what he’s going for with that name — really) has managed to decrypt the beta client for Sony’s PlayStation Home service. Curious devs can now poke around in the files looking for a way to exploit the newish in-game XMB functionality, potentially allowing homebrew apps and game backups without hard drive swapping. There’s no guarantee it will lead anywhere in the end, but you don’t care either way, right? Our upstanding readership would never participate in such heinously illegal activities.

Playstation Network down for “maintenance”

In PSN, Playstation 3, internet, multiplayer, networking, playstation, social, videogames on October 14, 2008 by Social Gamer

Today I went to log into my PSN account and to my surprise I got a message. Servers unavailable

please try logging in later. Read the photo. The small box to the far right states the server down schedule.

West coast time down:  Oct.14th 11:00AM – 5:00PM

East coast time:  Oct. 14th 2:00PM – 8:00PM

So there you go. I thought my PS3 was broken since I didn’t get any E-Mail warnings or anything.

Every time XBLive! is gonna be down, I always got some kind of notice via a message on XBL or an E-Mail.

Hope this helps.

Playstation firmware update this morning

In PSN, Playstation 3, hdd, internet, memory, multiplayer, networking, playstation, social, storage, videogames on October 14, 2008 by Social Gamer Tagged: , ,

This morning I turned on my PS3 and was promted to update my system’s firmware. I downloaded it and noticed a few tweaks to the Playstation Store and a few update to the web browser. I am posting from my PS3 right now. I wanted to see if the new Flash9 update would let me post from my PS3 and it words great. Now if I am playing a game and I get any tips I can just pop up the Web Browser on the PS3 and post it. Great feature. Sony is really working hard to catch up tothe browsers on a PC or Mac. Seem like the update didn’t include the HOME virtual world interface. I was hoping to start designing my apartment and meeting people on the PSNetwork. I will keep you posted as information become available. Well take care and here’s hoping we get it

Playstation HOME…November 19th to compete with NXE

In 360, PSN, Playstation 3, Playstion Home, avatar, create, home, internet, keyboard chat, networking, playstation, social, text chat, videogames, voice chat, xbox 360 on October 12, 2008 by Social Gamer

Today I started seeing website posts sating that the Playstation HOME will be launching on the same day that the XBOX Live Experience for the 360. November 19th 2008 will be a huge day for both platforms as both offer similar interaction with friends. But once the system update get into full swing we will all really see the true differences from the good to the bad. I personally can’t wait for both. I just hope the worlds internets can handle the multi-millions of users for both platforms downloading at the same time. Who knows…LoL
