You might have heard that the Xbox isn’t very popular in Japan. It’s true. There’s lots of reasons why this is the case – it’s the console from America, the games don’t always suit the Japanese market and the PlayStation 2 is so incredibly strong there. The Nintendo DS is even stronger. A recent survey […]
Xperia arc bundled with Exmor R and Bravia
One of the phones announced yesterday was the latest Sony Ericsson Xperia. The Xperia arc follows on from the X10 and is another Android phone. Sony Ericsson has not always been that good at releasing phones with the latest Android version. Combine that with quite a slow update frequency (the X10 still isn’t on 2.2) […]
Offensive PlayStation Move ad banned in the UK
A post for PlayStation Move has been banned by the British Advertising Standards Authority. The regulator had recieved complaints that the poster was offensive and inappropriate for public display. The text on the post read; “Move into the fight £34.00 RRP! PlayStation move, the game is just the start…” but the picture showed someone about […]
Offical PlayStation App coming to iPhone and Android
I’ve long pushed the common sense theory that Google and Sony need to be allies; Microsoft already has the Xbox 360 to tie in with their web strategy, Apple is attacking Sony’s PSP position with the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch and that leaves Google to get in to hardware-connected-to-your-TV market in conjunction with Sony. […]
ITV and Channel 4 on Demand come to PlayStation 3
Good news for UK PS3 owners. The Guardian is reporting that both the ITV and C4 on Demand services are expected to join the iPlayer on the PS3 this week. Of course, they’ll be wishing they had fairly fat broadband for this. This is an interesting turn of events as under Michael Grade ITV was […]
Watch before it’s YouTube Yanked: The Sony Ericsson PlayStation Phone
There are videos of the Sony Ericsson ZEUS Z1 that are worth a watch. Why? The ZEUS is the fabled but not yet official PlayStation Phone. This household has an X10 and Geek Native has reviewed the X10 Mini and we know both phones are pretty good. The problem with each? Sony Ericsson lags behind […]
More LittleBigPlanet 2 awesome trailer goodness
There can be very little doubt as to the importance of the LittleBigPlanet series is to PlayStation in the West. Over here, away from Japan, the Xbox gives the PS3 absolute hell. Sony’s actually gone ahead and bought Media Molecule the developers behind LBP. It’s no surprise, then, that the effort that’s gone into LBP2 […]
Criminal Girls: RPG Where You Punish Girls
This RPG was born in Japan. Something tells me it will stay in Japan. One of Image Epoch‘s new PSP RPGs has the title “RPG Where You Punish Girls” or “Criminal Girls”. My Japanese (by which I mean Google Translate) struggles with this insider blog post. Guess what you do in it? Yup! But wait… […]
Awesome DC Universe Online Trailer is the awesome
I’m not sure if the title is clear enough; this trailer of the DC Universe Online is awesome. It’s like watching a beautiful train wreck. You can’t believe what you’re seeing and yet it happens. You don’t want to watch any more and yet you can’t look a way. As with any great trailer you’ll […]
