No information on it yet. Should be nothing major though since the number increase is small.

Yeah, I wish...Nothing on the Playstation forums, where they had a "Updates" thread that contains info on each numbered release. They just had the release number in there but no info yet. Interesting.

Rumored PlayStation Store Release List Shows Home, Ratchet: Quest For Booty Due In July

Ratchet: Quest for Booty? Lair: Diabolical Dragons? The Last Guy? A Resistance 2 trailer next month? Those releases are rumored to be hitting the PlayStation Store this spring and summer, according to the above pic going 'round the internet today. It's all based on a allegedly leaked PlayStation Network release list from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, which lays out the planned PSN releases for the next four months, including a July release date for Home.

As you can see, according to the list, April is a big month. These releases may be bundled together to help promote the PlayStation Store revamp, also rumored to hit on April 15. So what is all this stuff?

The Lair pack(s) shown in the leaked list may what finally brings analog stick control to the PlayStation 3 game. When we inquired with Sony about the patch on hand at GDC, we were met with silence.

Ratchet Quest For Booty is most likely either Insomniac's downloadable content for Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction or a PlayStation Network release. Considering the Space Pirate presence in Tools of Destruction, it would certainly makes sense as DLC. When we asked Insomniac about their plans for PSN game, they simply (and wryly) responded "We're very busy."

The Last Guy, we know almost nothing about, other than that Sony Computer Entertainment Japan filed for the that trademark last year.

Take this all as rumor for now, but keep an eye on the PlayStation Store updates to see if this pans out to be true.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

I have a question for you PS3 guys.

The thing that is keeping me from getting a PS3 is the fact that games seem to be better on the 360, except for The Show.

1. Do you think its true?

2. Does the PS3 have wireless adapter included or do you have to buy a peripheral like on the 360?

I can't answer #1 from personal experiences as I don't own both a PS3 and 360 yet, but I can only go off what reviewers are saying... but the gap seems to be closing.


2. the only PS3 that doesn't come with Wi-Fi is the 20GB model... all other models have it built in.

Sweet that might make me trade in my 360.

The 360 does have the games. I have both and to be honest it may depend on how much you game.

I have played my PS3 much more since I got it than the 360. I just re-bought College Hoops and got Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted and that has been keeping me pretty busy.

I really don't think you'll regret getting a PS3 because its a fine machine, and now that you don't have to pay $600 for it, you can get it at the same price as a premium 360 or less if you're smart about it.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion Part Deux

Since i only own one of the same game on ps3 and 360(NBA2K8). And nba2k8 plays better online on the 360. I'm starting to get all my games on ps3 b/c the 360 goes out to much.
