New PSP Redesign?
If you were to take a look at the online manual from Sony Computer Entertainment you will notice labels. The labels are PSP-1000 for the old PSP fat series. PSP-2000 for the Slim that came out last year, and now there have been spottings of a PSP-3000 label in the manual. This could very well indicate a new re-design for Sony’s favorite portable handheld, but do we really need another model just after the slim? (Label can be found here)
FlatOut Head On - Official PSP Demo Available Now
Gear up with therelease of the official PSP demo for FlatOut: Head On, published by Empire Interactive and distributed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
Based on the best-selling FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage, the official PSP demo of FlatOut: Head On (developed by Six by Nine) features three distinct game modes: ‘Carnage Race,’ ‘Deathmatch Derby’ and one of the classic Ragdoll stunts.
In ‘Carnage Race’ players fight against the clock to score points within the given time period by causing as much damage as possible to their environment and opponents. ‘Deathmatch Derby’ is an arena-based derby with one simple objective – destroy or be destroyed. And finally, Ragdoll stunts take center stage in ‘High Jump,’ where players must drive their car down the ramp as fast as possible to launch the driver through the windscreen high into the sky to slam into the metal net.
Sony informs about Sony Playstation Network Security Issue
Sony published a notice informing Sony Playstation Network users about potential unauthorized access to personal information.
Sony says it is possible that the passwords of a small percentage of PLAYSTATION Network users may have been changed through unauthorized access, making it possible to view users’ personal information and/or use the Wallet for the PLAYSTATION Store.
PLAYSTATION Network accounts do not display entire credit card numbers, so any unauthorized access to your PLAYSTATION Network account is very unlikely to compromise your credit card number.
So if you cannot log-in to the Playstation network, you have been hacked. I have just checked my Playstation accounts and everything works fine.
Sony has taken measures to rectify this issue and system security is restored.

‘Unique’ PSP games are promise by SONY
This year a number of ‘unique’ PSP (PlayStation portable) games are promise by SONY.
In addition to Secret Agent Clank, Final Fantasy: Crisis Core and a bunch of additional sports games, Sony marketing manager John Koller said he didn’t want to “scoop” anything, but that some “very unique” titles are coming later this year, with a focus on “franchise umbrellas”.
In terms of downloadable games, Koller said consumer education will be a hurdle in the coming months because the PSP store is still in its infancy. “The Store will be very, very important for Sony and for the PSP’s future,” he said, including both PS1 and PS2 re-releases.
Koller also mentioned that upcoming PSP peripherals will include North American version of the GPS add-on, camera and a keyboard (for internet browsing) planned for release this autumn.
To date, Sony has sold more than 31 million PSP systems worldwide. By comparison, Nintendo has sold more than 65 million global DS units.
