Posted by Starlight from PS3 NEWS - PlayStation 3 News - PS3News - PS3 Games - PS3 Hacks - PS3 Homebrew.

Insomniac Games Community Manager Bryan Intihar shared the following today on the PlayStation Blog:

We know what some of you are thinking: "Well, Resistance 2 has shipped-I betcha Insomniac is sitting back, cracking a cold one, and taking it easy ’til after the holidays." In the words of ESPN college football analyst Lee Corso: NOT so fast, my friend!

We’ve been on the message boards reading your Resistance 2 feedback, letting it soak in, and working diligently on patches (Yes, more updates are on the way, and no, I don’t have a definitive date for the next patch. But trust me-it’s in the works). We also have some really cool new community features coming to MyResistance.net over the next few weeks.

Confirmed: PlayStation Home Open Beta Launches Thursday


Posted by colburn from PS3 NEWS - PlayStation 3 News - PS3News - PS3 Games - PS3 Hacks - PS3 Homebrew.

Talk about down to the wire, what I speculated yesterday might happen in weeks if not days is in fact happening tomorrow.

When you turn on your PlayStation 3 consoles on Thursday, you’ll have the option to freely download the 3GB PlayStation Home client, dash off an avatar, then dip your toes into Sony’s shiny, neo-industrial digital preserve.

So much for speculation by some that the way you get the client "isn’t going to be via a mere firmware update or PlayStation Store download."

Nearly two years of work’s gone into creating this collage of areas which include bowling alleys, shops, nightclubs, billboards, a central plaza, and bars with game themes like Far Cry 2 and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.
