Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I'm not seeing a link to their live blog on Kotaku. Where are you getting this from? It's the top post. "Sony 2009 Gamescom Presser Liveblog Spectacular". You cannot miss it. http://kotaku.com/5339926/sony-2009-gamescom-presser-liveblog-spectacular
Emasher Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 It wasn't refreshing properly for me for some reason. I can see it now though.
dwarf Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Hmmm I don't think that chillaxtv thing is actually going to work, Eurogamer & Kotaku blog it is.
Emasher Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I'll leave it open and listen to the audio in another tab for a little bit just in case.
dwarf Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I'll probs buy PJ shooter, though Gravity Crash looks better.
Emasher Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I don't. There's audio? I meant the audio of the adds. Just to see if it eventually works, but I've closed it now.

dwarf Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Shouldn't we have a thread for this, otherwise we'll clutter this whole shebang up?
Emasher Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Shouldn't we have a thread for this, otherwise we'll clutter this whole shebang up? We should just move to the N-Europe Chat.
dwarf Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Yeah well I'm going to fuck off and play some football, then come back to find out the unsubstantial news I've 'missed out on'. PSN new look is good I guess.
Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 The BBC iPlayer is awesome. Please let me stream in HD.
Wesley Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 The Kotaku feed said these minis couldn't be more than 1Mb. I got strangely excited. But sadly knew it was a typo for 100Mb. Ah well.
Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 PlayStation 3 Firmware (v3.00) Update Posted by Eric Lempel // Director, PlayStation Network Operations Hi everyone, PlayStation 3 (PS3) firmware update (v3.00) adds a number of great new features that we’re excited to share with you. The latest update incorporates changes that improve navigation on your PS3. First, you’ll notice some cosmetic changes to the design of the XMB (Xross Media Bar). We’ve enhanced the look and feel of the XMB so that it’s easier and even more intuitive to use. We’ve also added network improvements and personalization options to help enhance your PS3 experience. Additional highlights from update 3.00 include: “What’s New” – The “Information Board” will be replaced with a “What’s New” section, which allows you to enjoy interactive PlayStation news every time you start the PS3 system. Located under the PlayStation Network icon, “What’s New” displays the latest and greatest game, video, PlayStation Network and PlayStation news and releases, as well as your recently played games, in a sleek, new animated format. Status Indicator – In the top right corner we’ve added an indicator bar, which displays your user icon, friend icon, the number of friends you have online and a small message icon to let you know if you have any new messages. The indicator also includes a scrolling ticker that features the latest news from PlayStation Network. In addition, when you press the PS button, the battery life indicator will no longer cover up the clock. Friends List – Now your PlayStation Network friends will appear in a slightly redesigned format on your Friends List. Also, messages will now be viewable from each of your friends’ respective profiles. PlayStation Store Shortcuts – We’ve added a handy shortcut icon to the PlayStation Store under both the Game and Video categories so you can access the latest content quickly and easily. Personalization – Personalize your PS3 with new dynamic custom themes and avatars. Dynamic themes as well as free and premium avatars will be available through PlayStation Store. A dynamic theme takes your screen to a whole new level as it incorporates animated objects into the background. Trophies – Showcasing your hard earned trophies just got better. Update 3.00 gives game developers the ability to modify how they display trophies for add-on content. Base and add-on game trophies will continue to be combined into a single list so you can see where you stand in a game as a whole. Within that list, trophies will be broken out into subcategories—base trophies and add-on trophies—that way, you can easily view the percentage of your base game trophy collection, and separately track your trophy progress in add-on packs. Look for this enhancement to be included in upcoming games. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/08/18/playstation-3-firmware-v3-00-update/
Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Check out the video of the new XMB, it looks slick.
Deathjam Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Check out the video of the new XMB, it looks slick. What you talking bout Phil, I mean Daft?
Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 "How's this for a description: it's a PS3, but slimmer." lol
Gizmo Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 "I told you so" :p No features removed, which is cool. I was worried they might take out WiFi or something random like that to cut costs. Wonder what the UK price will be? I'm hoping for something < £250
KKOB Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 A PS3, that same price as a PSP Go. Farcical. Not quite. PSP Go = €250 PS3 Slim = €299 Right?
Deathjam Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Not quite. PSP Go = €250 PS3 Slim = €299 Right? Guess we shall find out soon enough.
