That movie service sounds cool. I would probably take advantage of that if it were drunk.

And, I really like the new PS Store interface, it's just more intuitive. like, if you press the circle button, you go back to the previous screen, not quit the store!

I went and rented Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters for the PS2 because I loved the new one so much. It's pretty good, more of the same Ratchet and Clank style madness. Except I've been playing it n the PS3 and now need to move the card info to a PS2... why didn't they just build a stupid memory card slot into the PS3? hello!

AWESOME. they just released an add-on pack of 15 new boards for PixelJunk Monsters, my vote for best $10 PS Store game of the year. I am so addicted to this game. I was just hoping last week that they would add some DLC, and, lo and behold, there it was.

cute kid.

I have two extra codes for people to use to participate in the SOCOM beta which began today and runs until Oct. 5th. PM me if you want one.

youknow, i've still never played one of those types of games.

are they really all that?

Anyone install/play around with @Home yet?

Not much there yet, but there's the nucleus for some cool ideas...and I'm not really into Second Life or shit like that.

I have a backlog of games to get through. My current queue consists of:

Dead Space (I've finished 10 out of 12 chapters -- highly recommended)
Prince of Persia
Bioshock
Fallout 3

I'm also loving Rock Band 2, especially the drums even though I'm not very good at them. I also agree with BastardSuperstar that Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is well worth playing. Looking forward to Killzone 2 on 2.27.09 and Resident Evil 5 on 3.13.09.

Uncharted 2 looks like the shit. IGN gave it a 9.5. I loved the first one, so I'm looking forward to this. They've also added multiplayer & co-op.

as a head's up:
tonight's xplay on g4 is an all uncharted 2 preview special.

and yes, it looks fucking amazing.
guess i finally got to get around to finally finishing the 1st one off . . .

Sony sued over PS3 update that supposedly bricks consoles.

I don't think I've ever had any technical problem with my PS3, except maybe having to reset some settings after an update.

(and that it only supports external USB drives FAT formatted, making that feature essentially useless.)

So I picked up Uncharted 2 yesterday and it's an absolute blast to play. The co-op missions are very difficult, even on the easy setting. They're also much longer than they were in the demo. I played about 6 or 7 missions and was only able to beat 2 of them and they usually lasted for 30-45 minutes. I haven't really started in on the single player campaign yet.
