Croteam boss roman Ribaric says that a PSN version of the action game could be mustered once the current version is complete, assuming there is demand for such a title. Speaking to G4, Ribaric offered: "We keep hearing over and over from publishers, investors, marketing and other suits that players from one console, in this case PSN, wouldn't want to get it later, let's say eight months and seven days after, if it's released sooner on the other console, here that would be XBLA. I would normally say that's a lot of bull, but I will refrain here from my comment.

The first unit is the Sony Wireless Keypad for PlayStation 3. I tried really hard to like this thing but I kept running into major issues with it. It's a keyboard that attaches to the top of the DualShock 3 or Sixaxis controller.

A cycle courier has a package go off in his hands, leaves him in a coma and when he comes to finds the city dramatically different. There's a plague, riots, chaos and criminals running wild. The courier, blamed for the explosion, is a wanted man but the blast has given him superhero powers including the ability to unleash bolts of lightning from his hands.

When it comes to console price drops, especially when it involves the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, most of the rumors have gotten it wrong, so echoing another one's a bit like strapping yourself to the mast of the Titanic. We know Sony and Microsoft will, but the when's about as accessible as a crystal ball locked in a safe sheathed in cement at the bottom of a well.

Once again, rumours regarding the PlayStation 3 have reared up after a leading retailer in Australia moved to clear 40GB versions of Sony’s powerhouse console by hacking liberally at the system’s pocket-testing price tag. And ‘hacking’ is certainly the operative word to focus on here after Target stores reportedly began offering the PlayStation 3 for a mere $199 AUD, which equates to an outrageously cheap $160 USD.

The lawsuit claims that Factor 5 “fraudulently” transfered aspects of the game to another company before they claimed bankcrupcy while also refusing to pay their employees.

It shouldn’t be a huge surprise; people like Final Fantasy VII. Since the game’s release on the Playstation Network back at E3, the PS3/PSP-compatible downloadable version of the game has racked up 100,000 sales, breaking PSN records.
