DIRECTV teams up with PS3 for Sunday NFL Ticket In addition to baseball and hockey, PS3 owners now have the opportunity to catch football games, streamed live through their console. The PlayStation Blog today announced a partnership with DIRECTV to offer the satellite television provider's popular NFL Sunday Ticket service, which allows individuals to view out-of-market football games.Existing DIRECTV subscribers can access Sunday Ticket on the console for an additional $50 at the start of the season (on top of what they paid for Sunday Ticket, of course) and can use their console as an additional receiver. PS3 users looking to opt into NFL Sunday Ticket without a DIRECTV subscription will have to shell out a hefty $339.95. The PS3 will both show games in HD each week (up to 14) and display DIRECTV's Red Zone channel. :demonangel: CLICK THE 4 MORE :demonangel: DIRECTV teams up with PS3 for Sunday NFL Ticket | Joystiq
SOE dates three PSN titles for September/October Sony Online Entertainment has announced release dates and prices for three titles heading to PSN later this year.First up is Rochard, a side-scrolling puzzler that sees astro-miner (coolest job name ever) John Rochard fend off space pirates. He?ll use every day*mining*tools to take on his foes, which reminds us of our dear Isaac Clarke. That?s out on September 27 for $9.99.Next is the big guns, Payday: The Heist. This four-player co-op shooter raised eyebrows at E3 with its scenario-based, team-focused gameplay. October 4 is the date on that one, and it comes at a pricier $19.99. Don?t forget though that it will go free to anyone who picks up all of the titles in the PSN Play promotion. DLC is also promised for later on in the year. :demonangel: CLICK THE 4 MORE :demonangel: That VideoGame Blog » SOE dates three PSN titles for September/October

Kevin Butler quits Sony via Twitter, Sony says to 'keep following his tweets' Kevin Butler would be a wonderful Sony VP if he actually existed, and we would be upset to hear of his resignation if it were real. It makes us very emotionally confused about Sony's latest marketing ploy, which has @TheKevinButler tweeting that he's quit Sony to be president of the family flooring business. How do we react when a fake person fake-quits his fake position at a real company? We're not sure, but so far we've been eating a lot of chocolate and manically watching Desperate Housewives. @TheKevinButler posted two tweets today about the job switch and his profile now reads, "President, Economy Flooring. I'm a man of the people and the people need help. Carpets worn? Hardwoods warped? Linoleum non-linear? Rest Easy, KB's here to help." As legit as this may seem, Sony has hinted at a Twitter-tease, telling Industry Gamers to "stay tuned. :demonangel: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: Kevin Butler quits Sony via Twitter, Sony says to 'keep following his tweets' | Joystiq
Elevator Action Deluxe in action [video=youtube;t_iyJFDmln0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_iyJFDmln0[/video] Not even a week before the release of Elevator Action Deluxe, Square Enix sent out the first trailer for the PS3 update. Between the exaggerated art style, the Cowboy Bebop-style intro, and the inexplicably dancing enemies, this just looks like fun. Well, it looks like those things and the classic Elevator Actiongameplay.Speaking of classic Elevator Actiongameplay, the trailer reveals that Deluxe"fully contains the arcade version." There's guaranteed to be at least one good game in the download, then. Elevator Action Deluxe(and the original) will be out on PSN August 30 in North America, and August 31 worldwide. :demonangel: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: Elevator Action Deluxe in action | Joystiq
Retro/Grade preview: A step forward, backward Much like the classical pianist who has thoroughly mastered his craft and finds the act of reading sheet music to be perfectly droll, the multicolored gem charts of Guitar Herosand Rock Bandshave become easy pleasy lemon squeezy. If you've been playing those games since the genre's inception, you can probably tap and strum through most songs on the hardest difficulty settings. It is unlikely, however, that you could do so backwards while dodging increasingly violent salvos of enemy lasers.24 Caret Games' PSN-exclusive indie shoot-em-up Retro/Grade asks you to do just that, forcing you to use your brain (and your digits) in a manner which you're almost certainly unaccustomed to. :demonangel: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: Retro/Grade preview: A step forward, backward | Joystiq
What's In A Name: Dancing Dots Studio Martial Hesse-Dréville, Dancing Dots Studio's managing director, explains how his studio came up with its energetic name. No, they're not fans of Dancing with the Stars -- turns out, the explanation is much more straightforward than that!"I named Dancing Dots just for the fact that what we do, at the core, is making pixels move. Moving pixels then lead me to think of dancing dots. It's a catchy title and playing a game is about having fun, something that dancing is too. Dancing expresses that something is fun."Dancing Dots Studio is currently working on Rotastic, due out on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade on September 20 and September 21, respectively. :demonangel: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: What's In A Name: Dancing Dots Studio | Joystiq

Basically a place to find all of the stuff the PS3 can do in one place, then.The company revealed the platform at*IFA consumer electronics expo in Berlin where Kaz Hirai, consumer products head said:*?We?re leveraging the biggest asset, the Sony brand, to establish [a] comprehensive, global platform called Sony Entertainment Network,? further adding that the move will*?accelerate the integration of hardware, content, and network.? :demonangel: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: That VideoGame Blog » Sony reveal new

PlayStation Network adds 3 million users following cyber attack The online outage that rocked, dismantled, and shamed Sony?s PlayStation Network for six weeks last spring did not come at an overly grim cost, it seems.According to comments made by Sony CEO Howard Stringer, PSN has added a whopping 3 million new accounts since the service came back online.?I?m pleased to tell you that the PSN is more secure and better than ever,? Stringer said. ?We are aggressively expanding its content. We have more than 3 million new customers since the network came back online, and sales are exceeding what we had before the cyberattacks.?There you have it, PSN has survived, and is actually growing. :demonangel: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: That VideoGame Blog » PlayStation Network adds 3 million users following cyber attack
3 million new accounts ? Uhm I like PSN but i'm wondering did they take into account that PSN members possibly created new accounts to replace old ones that they possibly couldn't recover due to the aggravating process of changing one's password by PC.
Stringer: PSN bouncing back after this year's attack PlayStation Network has had a hell of a time with public relations this year. After the well-publicized attack on the service (which potentially exposed the personal information of millions of users), Sony has done everything it can to regain the trust and goodwill of its customers. It would seem those efforts appear are paying off, according to claims conveyed by CNET.The site reports that Sony CEO Howard Stringer recently addressed the subject at the IFA conference in Berlin, saying that PlayStation Network is "more secure and better than ever." He added that the company is working to expand the service, which has added 3 million newcustomers since the attack. Furthermore, Stringer noted that PSN sales have actually increased relative to pre-attack levels. :demonangel: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: Stringer: PSN bouncing back after this year's attack | Joystiq
Stringer noted that PSN sales have actually increased relative to pre-attack levels. Increasesd ???? gee & here i thought most PSN members were buying to replace items lost or still today this day don't work like they did before the outage. We should've learned a few things from the outage. 1. Don't have such blind faith in online networks keeping your personal information secure. 2. Don't keep more money in online networks then your willing to lose 3. Nothing online is ever secure, your personal information is just that...PERSONAL!!! So don't add what your not willing to have others view. 4. Don't add information that can lead to valuable information about you. 5. Have other ways to keep intouch with friends then PSN.
