Metal Gear Solid (the first) coming to Euro PSN this week

Murda Game — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:49:47 GMT

Snake's first "solid" adventure is finally making its way to Europe's PSN. Eurogamer reports Konami's announcement that the tactical espionage action title will arrive this Thursday, November 19, for �8. We followed up with Sony Europe and a representative confirmed the release.

The PSN version of MGS is the original game released on PlayStation and not the Twin Snakes update released in 2004. For those living the States, the title has been available since this summer. The release of the first Metal Gear Solid on PSN will be followed by MGS: Portable Ops, MGS: Portable: Ops+ and MGS: Digital Graphic Novel. Of course, this is all in preparation for Peace Walker sometime next year.

[11/19] PlayStation 3 US sales up 70%

PyreX KinG — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:01:01 GMT

After years of third-stringing it, Sony�s beleaguered PS3 may finally be rallying, according to sales data cited on Sony�s US PlayStation blog. The company�s American division reports year-over-year October hardware sales lifted nearly 70 percent, and says its online PlayStation storefront clinched record revenues, with downloads up 60 percent over the same period last year.

SCEA claims some 650 million pieces of content have been downloaded worldwide, though�just weighing in here�that�s really more of a talking point figure, since it mixes �free� with �paid-for� content. It�s one of these �dazzling� numbers arrived at by jackhammering a slab of data into the tiniest possible fragments, a bit like claiming the PSP Go has �16,000 pieces of downloadable content��technically accurate, but mostly comprised of the 13,300 individual TV episodes available.

The more salient sum would be �31 million�, which is how many registered PSN accounts Sony�s laying claim to globally (the company says 5.4 million of those sign on every day). Even that number�s a bit misleading, however, since a snap look at Sony�s global PS3 sales reveals there aren�t that many systems in the wild.

How to account for the overage? Factor the PSP, Sony�s PlayStation portable, which plugs into the same online service. Sony�s moved over 50 million PSPs to date, so if we scribble down a rough global estimate of around 80 million PS3s and PSPs combined, �31 million registered accounts� amounts to slightly more than one-third of the total online PlayStation brand. How many belong to either platform is down to guesstimating, since allocation percentiles are unknown.

By comparison, Microsoft claims �more than 20 million� Xbox LIVE members, but can also count �Gold� membership revenue (an undisclosed percent of total LIVE membership). Both companies make money on content downloads, but only Microsoft�s collecting dollars at the gate.

SCEA says its year-over-year PS3 uplift makes it �the only console to experience significant growth year over year.� That�s true, but it riffs on the system�s acutely sluggish performance for most of 2008. Contrast with NPD�s monthly reminders that Microsoft�s Xbox 360 was the only system to experience year-to-date gains during the six-month slump that preceded recent game biz rebounds.

Sony�s doing well, in other words, but�no surprises here�how well has to do with what you emphasize (or in this case de-emphasize). Sony continues to focus on year-over-year growth, while Microsoft highlights year-to-date resiliency.

In actuality, it�s impossible to say who�s outperforming whom, since hardware costs, online software sales, brand totals, and demographic specifics are kept tightly under wraps.

Sony To Upgrade PS3 Consoles To 3D in 2010??

Rs0n1sT — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:49:21 GMT

In a presentation detailing Sony's plans to become profitable by the end of 2010, Sony revealed plans to upgrade Playstation 3 consoles with full 3D support.

The news supports previous reports on Sony's 3D PlayStation 3 strategy, suggesting that a firmware upgrade would introduce the capability to existing consoles. Not only does Sony plan on upgrading the console to support 3D, but release games in 3D as well in order to take advantage of the enhanced capabilities.

Of course, 3D games and 3D televisions would go hand-in-hand, so adding the capability to the PlayStation 3 would definitely help drive at least a few television sales.

Would you purchase a new television to support 3D gaming, or is Sony seeing things?

Hmmm could M$ be getting sued over recent bans?

KCxKINGx913 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:35:43 GMT

Boutique law firm AbingtonIP is "investigating" what it considers the "convenient" recent Xbox Live bannings. The firm posits that the "tens of thousands" of banned Xbox Live subscribers who used modded consoles deserve recompense due to the timing of the action. The firm believes that said timing -- i.e., after Halo 3: ODST and shortly before Modern Warfare 2's releases -- was executed to net Microsoft as much money as possible out of potential Xbox Live subscribers before banning the modded devices. The class action lawsuit would attempt to obtain a refund for the prorated sums left on the banned Xbox Live subscriptions.

According to Joystiq legal columnist Mark Methenitis' analysis: "To me, this certainly sounds a lot like a cash grab directed at a company with deep pockets, but perhaps there are more facts than they are letting on." He explains that a user savvy enough to have a modded console would also know not to connect it to Live without "serious risk." Methenitis concludes, "If, in fact, Microsoft is inducing people to buy a service only to terminate them, then there's certainly a deceptive business practice concern. But this seems far more cut and dry than that."

Resident Evil 5 DLC Detailed

Lynx — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:07:59 GMT

November 18, 2009 - Capcom revealed last week that Japan's Resident Evil 5 Alternative Edition would be coming our way in the form of download content for both the Xbox 360 and PS3. Today, Weekly Famitsu came through with specifics on the content and pricing.

At least four content packs will be offered for the game:

The Lost in Nightmares Episode (500 yen/400 MSP): This includes the previously announced new episode that pairs RE5 hero Chris Redfield with RE series veteran Jill Valentine. Famitsu confirms a one hour gameplay time for the episode as well as a frightening new enemy who haunts the halls underneath Spencer's mansion. Also included in the pack are EX figures and two characters for use in Mercenaries mode.

Costume Pack 1 (200 yen/160 MSP): This includes two costumes, EX figures, and two characters for Mercenaries.

Unannounced New Episode (500 yen/400 MSP): That's right, Lost in Nightmares isn't the only additional episode! Sadly, Famitsu doesn't have any details on this additional scenario. As with the Lost in Nightmares DLC, it will include EX figures and two characters for Mercenaries mode.

Costume Pack 2 (200 yen/160 MSP): Like Costume Pack 1, this includes two costumes, EX figures, and two Mercenaries characters.

The "Mercenaries" mode listed above is actually referred to in the magazine as "Mercenaries Reunion." According to Famitsu, the rules for Mercenaries Reunion are unchanged from Mercenaries. The Alternative Edition disc release will give immediate access to characters who weren't available for use in the original Mercenaries. Aside from that, we're unsure of the differences.

As for those new costumes, Famitsu provides a look at just two. Sheva will be getting a new red hooded "Folklore" outfit. Chris will go wild with a new Warrior outfit that has him sporting shades but missing a shirt.

Most of the Famitsu article is about the Alternative Edition disc version, which has yet to be announced for release outside of Japan. The disc will include all the above content along with the main Resident Evil 5 game and all the previously released RE5 DLC. In Japan, the disc version will arrive on February 18, priced at 4,990 yen -- about 3,000 yen less than a typical high profile Xbox 360 and PS3 third party title.

The downloadable content will hit some time in March. Capcom hasn't shared international details yet, but we're going to presume a similar time frame for the content outside of Japan.

Oddly missing from Famitsu's coverage of Alternative Edition was mention of PS3 motion controller support, a feature which was promoted heavily when the game was first announced at the Tokyo Game Show. We were hoping that a February 18 release for Alternative would imply a similar time frame for Sony's wand controller. As with the RE5 DLC's international release, we're going to have to wait for an official comment on the matter.
