The word on the street is that the PSP 3000 will be able to be hooked up to the tv with component allowing 480p instead of using component and being stuck in the land of 480i. Furthermore, the same rumor suggests that you will be able to use your Dualshock 3 and obviously the Sixaxis instead of the sometimes clunky PSP controls. With the new screen they are planning and these possible additions, this might make the PSP 3000 as close to a must have as you can get for a handheld.

In an email to PlayStation Underground users, Sony has revealed the contents of Qore Episode 4, which will go live on the PlayStation Store in two weeks. Here’s what you can expect:
- We go Big with Little Big Planet
- Audrey Heads to Montreal to Check out the New Prince of Persia
- We Get Down and Dirty with Motorstorm: Pacific Rift and Go Deep with Bioshock
- Exclusive to Ep 04 Customers and Annual Subscribers: Play the Motorstorm: Pacific Rift demo a month before anyone else and snag an awesome, Qore-exclusive, LBP theme
Good stuff. I’m excited to try out the new Motorstorm demo and see what all has changed from the PS3 launch title. I’m personally a fan of Qore and think it’s worth the cost, but I know a lot of you out there don’t agree. To each his own.

Famitsu got their hands on the PSP-3000 to check out the new screen, which Sony says has twice the color gamut, five times the contrast ratio, and twice the response time as the PSP-2000 (aka PSP Slim). Judging by the image above, I’d say they’re right. It looks that much better.
Other minor changes include the PS Button replacing the Home button and some curvier sides. Looks pretty damn sexy. I feel like poo that I just bought a PSP Slim (Darth Vader white one) in October and now there’s one with a much better screen. Debating if it’s worth upgrading again… hmmm….

It looks like Kratos is becoming the poster boy for Sony and is making appearances everywhere he possibly can. The latest news puts Kratos the resident God of War becoming a playable character in Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds. Look for this to be some DLC today on your PS3. The voice of Kratos will be echoing on the links now as Kratos strives to become the God of the Greens.
Hit the jump for more shots of Kratos, curious if you can put accessories on him like bunny ears?

We’d seen the FCC submission for the PSP-3000, but Sony made it official today at Leipzig. The new PSP will have a better screen with a wider color gamut and anti-reflective technology as well as a built in microphone. Minor, but cool additions to Sony’s handheld. I’m perfectly happy with my PSP Slim, so I won’t be updating (especially since the Slim came out a year ago).
The upcoming Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters bundle will be the first way to get the new PSP-3000. After that, a new Entertainment bundle will be released that includes a 4GB memory stick. Hells yeah. Check out full details of both packs in the press release after the jump.

Today at Leipzig, Sony announced a new 160GB PS3 SKU. Damn! Looks like they’re serious about digital distribution if they’re upping things that much. The “limited edition” bundle will include a copy of Uncharted and a voucher to download PAIN on the PSN. You alse get a DualShock 3 for the cool price of $499.99.
It’s important to note that this new PS3 unit is not backwards compatible, has 2 USB ports, and no media card reader slots. I guess that functionality is now gone.
The new bundle is set to ship in the US in November with an October 31st release date in Europe. Sounds good to me!

Yup you read that right, Burnout Paradise the entire game is coming to the PSN, not a mini game based from it or a segment, but the entire game including all the new content. An impressive feat just from the standpoint that they are taking a Blu Ray game and smooshing it into a downloadable format. (yes smooshing is a very technical term I know) So you can head on over to the Playstation Store and grab the downloadable version as well as the DLC this Autumn, which includes the bikes and new modes for $29.99. Curious what else we can expect to come to the PSN in a downloadable format? Perhaps some more EA titles? Sony is sending a message to the Xbox 360 and it’s inability to do things just like this.

You have probably traveled around and seen the Apple vending machines where you can buy iPods and accessories, but on Loot Ninja’s recent travels to the twin cities, a.k.a. Minnesota, Loot Ninja came across two vending machines it had never seen before. Right in the Minnesota airport there was a kiosk for Best Buy Express and another not too far away for Sony. There was actually a third one that had Elizabeth Arden products as well, but we weren’t as interested in perfume and cosmetics.
The Best Buy vending machine had an assortment of products that any frequent flyer may find a need for like headphones, chargers and video games. Inside there was a few Nintendo DS handhelds as well as Mario Kart and Mario Party for the DS at normal retail prices which was the real shocker, I was certain you would be charged a joy of buying in the airport fee but it was normal MSRP.
Hit the jump to see the Sony version.
