Get a nice long look at the NGP (Next Gen Portable) aka the PSP2 during this interview with Kaz Harai from Sony PlayStation. I think Sony are becoming very comfortable in their ability to release excellent devices and then tease us all for a long period of time till we start climbing the walls in anticipation. Am I going to be buying this as soon as it comes out, even though game support might not be that great at release time?  Hell yeah! I'm buying the NGP AND! the Xperia Play.]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/kaz-harai-ngp-interview/3157/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/ps3-update-3-56-most-likely-anti-jailbreak/3108/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/ps3-update-3-56-most-likely-anti-jailbreak/3108/#comments Thu, 27 Jan 2011 07:15:32 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=3108
Sony said late Wednesday that it would soon push out a 3.56 firmware update for the PS3. The company wouldn't give details other than that it would add a "security patch." Most expect that it will attempt to close up the holes exposed by Geohot and fail0verflow that prompted a DMCA lawsuit. The company has made a regular practice of pushing out minor updates in the past several months under the guise of security that have almost always been intended to patch jailbreaks. It's unknown if the latest attempt was successful or if it will last for long. In creating its most recent exploit, fail0verflow may have discovered a permanent technique that could either leave it always open or have patches that are rendered obsolete in days or even hours. True security for the PlayStation may not come until a new hardware revision, in part as hackers have discovered Sony encryption keys that can't necessarily be changed.

I'm looking forward to this one. The word on the street at the moment is Socom will be dropping in April thanks to this article in the WallStreet Journal but I've been doing a little research and it looks to me like its the SOCOM 4 Beta that will be dropping in April. I saw the news today that in the USA, gamers who purchase Killzone 3 (Feb 22nd) will get the chance to get the SOCOM 4 beta but after speaking to UNCyrus from PlayStation he told me "SOCOM beta codes are in limited supply so the only way to guarantee that you get one is to preorder" while in the UK and Europe all PSN+ members will be getting the beta. (PlayStation Blog USA - PlayStationEU  Tweet) With no official concrete release date yet we could be waiting for SOCOM 4 till mid summer or even next winter but with the gargantuan amount of excellent games coming our way this year I'm already getting worried about not having enough time to fully play them all, But I'll always make time for SOCOM. Just remember, those of you in the U.S. Pre-order those Killzone 3's and those in the EU go [...]]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/socom-4-seta-coming-soon/3007/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/one-to-watch-out-for-journey/2978/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/one-to-watch-out-for-journey/2978/#comments Wed, 12 Jan 2011 04:48:33 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=2978 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/one-to-watch-out-for-journey/2978/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/2877/2877/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/2877/2877/#comments Thu, 16 Dec 2010 18:21:39 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=2877

Is it me or does it seem like every company that sells many different products such as Cloths, Food, Electronics, Video Games and Now Sony PlayStation has a rewards system coming out. I just recently signed up with Game Stops 'Power Up Rewards' program and I checked my Email today to see if I had any new Emails and I had one from PlayStation Network I opened the Email to find a invitation to join to beta.So I signed up got the automatic welcome Email and now i'm ready to start earning points. I'm not sure why I was invited into the beta but it could be because I subscribed to PlayStation Plus on the very first day it came out or for the TONS of stuff I downloaded of the store. People think that PlayStation Plus is a waste of money NO WAY! Within the first 2 months of the year package I got back the money i spent on the Ton of free stuff you get with it such as games, themes, avatars, and Beta invites. So if you had PlayStation Plus since day one or downloaded tons of stuff check your Email and heck, you never know you might of [...]]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/playstation-rewards-beta-is-here/2466/feed/ 0
