On this week's Famitsu magazine, Polyphony Digital has revealed that it will release Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on December 13 in Japan. The game will be released as a package on a single Bluray disc or can be downloaded from the PlayStation Network.

Furthermore, a demo version of Prologue (yes, a demo of a demo) will also be available starting October 20 on PSN in Japan.

Keep in mind the release dates here are for the Japanese territory and no official announcements have been made for North America. Check back for more on the PS3 racer later this week in our Tokyo Game Show 2007 coverage.

We've known it's been coming for a while now, but now it's completely official: the PS3 will soon offer a rumble controller. 1UP has confirmed through multiple sources -- including some within Sony -- that PS3 games are now offering rumble and we'll see first examples of this at the Tokyo Game Show.

It's expected that along with a PS3 price drop for Japan, Kaz Hirai will be revealing the new PS3 rumble controller at his TGS keynote (later tonight U.S. time). Sources have also indicated that one of the big reveals may be that the playable Metal Gear Solid 4 demo will include rumble functionality. Those who have tried the controller spoke positively of it, saying that it's a bit heavier than the current Sixaxis.

Expect plenty more on this -- including our own impressions of the controller -- later today.

So motorstorm US version can only play in US server.  That is not good!  Sure got some lag then.  There are 3 servers in US..which is the best for Malaysian?

Yah, but I always join the server with the most people.  Are you playing Motorstorm too?

Can't wait to hear about FF7 Endless Crisis
Wonder if it's a sequel or remake.

Not forgetting MGS4 of course

6:49 p.m. -- Ooh -- you can now power on and power off your PS3 through remote play.

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced that it would release DUALSHOCK 3 Wireless Controller, a new controller for PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) incorporating a rumble feature, in Japan in November as a separately sold accessory. It inherits the basic design and functionality of the popular PlayStation controller, while keeping the high-precision, high response motion sensitive six-axis sensing system. Introduction to North American and European markets is expected in spring 2008.

The added rumble feature, combined with the highly realistic motion sensitive six-axis sensing system, takes gamers deeper into the world of interactivity, delivering a more intuitive, realistic and immersive game play experience. The new controller will also benefit PS3 content creators, by giving them the ability to further expand their creative imagination. PS3 titles that are already in the market may become compatible with the rumble feature through software update.

With DUALSHOCK 3 and the attractive lineup of PS3 titles incorporating the rumble feature, SCEI will introduce more new ways of enjoyment that can only be found on PS3, and will further redefine the world of entertainment.

Next, PlayStation Store. PS Store now has 30 PS3 games, 300 items, 100 archived titles and 90 demo movies. People are asking for more convenience -- You can access the store now from the PC. The PSP can also connect to the PC for access.

But which url to go?

hoyo..

spring tu dalam bulan brape??

eh dual shock 3 tu nnt dorang jual skali dgn ps3 set ke nnt / jual separately??

Only available for JAPAN PlayStation Store at the moment.

http://store.playstation.com/store/index.vm

But, somehow you can only download PSOne game and transfer it to your PSP. PS3 demo games is not downloadable.

Hopefully, this is only the first phase for this feature. I'm sure they will need to released a new firmware so we can install demo games downloaded through PC.
Spring bulan 4,5. Normally, they will sell it separately, or bundled together with console.

Hmm it say no service when i go in that url.Must change the PC OS to Japan only can enter ka?

log in liao, do wat?

har?????? wen got psone demos one?

Weird still can't log in,the ID use the email or the username?

Hrmmm.. i got that too, if I login using PSN ID from other region. Are you sure you login with your Japan PSN ID?

You mean i must login with the PS3 first?If not where to login,just keep stuck with this screen can't even login.

Okay, I think I found a workaround.

Login first in this page (enter your email and password): https://store.playstation.com/login.gvm

And then, after successful login, click this link: http://store.playstation.com/store/index.vm#tab/2

I think there should be no problem now.

THE EYE OF JUDGMENT (interesting concept, reasonable price)

wao, why ur coupon always 10 usd one ar?

haha, he is P-A VIP customer, sure got lots of coupons one 

TGS07: Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailer impressions



Know of the old adage: save the best for last? Square Enix did just that with its incredible Final Fantasy Versus XIII presentation. In spite of being comprised of completely non-interactive and most likely pre-rendered footage, the Versus trailer absolutely stunned the audience due to its incredible sense of style. The trailer begins, telling viewers that "this is a fantasy based in reality." What could that mean?

The footage begins with a car driving by, segueing to a familiar scene of the mysterious male protagonist deflecting bullets from an opposing military force. Quickly, the trailer flashes to a girl in a school outfit that seems to be awaiting someone. Latin text is interspersed throughout, fitting to the beat of both the visuals and music. Already, there's a strong sense of style and intrigue.

A meticulously designed cathedral is the next scene in the trailer, and we see a mysterious hooded individual eerily similar to a character in Advent Children. All the while, snippets of the lead killing the opposing soldiers in a surprisingly gory way. We were shocked to see blood spurt out of the villains -- could this be the first M-rated Final Fantasy game?

Other scenes show a friend to our mysterious unnamed lead character traveling through a desert highway, only to find the highway covered in what looks to be a newly created river. Here, we get to see the duality of fantasy and reality at play: there's a clear sense of emotion conveyed through the facial animation system, and the characters do feel quite human, in spite of the clearly fantastic events that surround them. At the end of the trailer, we finally see the male and female characters meet, glad at first. But then, as red and blue auras surround them both, a sad look of despair creeps in. We'd have to guess that these two, friends at first, are destined to be mortal enemies. A familiar, but nonetheless intriguing concept.

With its stylish character designs, fantastic environmental art, a strong sense of dramatic direction, and incredibly visceral action makes Versus a game rich with potential. To evoke such a powerful response from the audience from a completely non-playable presentation means that Square Enix can have a winner on its hands: let's hope that, unlike Dirge of Cerberus, the game can deliver on such an ambitious promise.

TGS07: Final Fantasy XIII trailer impressions



After adamantly insisting that you do not videotape or record the screening in any way or else, the Square Enix private theater showcased numerous titles from the ever-expanding Final Fantasy universe. The first trailer on display was the lead game in the Fabula Nova Crystallis series, Final Fantasy XIII. In English, a narrator explains a corruption that seems to plaguing the land. "Those tainted by the outside were exiled," he explains.

Earlier trailers highlighted Lightning, but the trailer at TGS showed off a number of new characters, environments and creatures. A gunman that seems to have specific mastery over water shoots a crystal, creating a massive water summon. Paths of ice form in the sky, as he rides along on a motorcycle. Certainly, a spectacle to behold. Then a massive African-inspired scene provides a stark contrast to the futuristic environments we've seen of the game so far. Fantastic Mammoth-like beasts walk across a river in a scene that could've been ripped out of a Afrika gone slightly astray. Debuting in this new trailer was a brand new female character that stands, staring at a frozen planet orbiting in the sky. The trailer ends with a proud proclamation "PS3 Only," to silence any doubters.

Once again, we were stunned by the visuals of the trailer, which went beyond the quality of most Hollywood productions. The new dry landscape showcased provides reassurance that the game will not remain stagnant in its visual look. However, in spite of the incredible excitement generated by the trailer, we were surprised that a different game in the Square Enix theater stole the show.

TGS07: The Last Remnant trailer displays new characters

Okay, first, off, if Xenogears were getting a next-gen makeover, the dude with the eye patch in this trailer would be a pretty spot-on recreation of Bartholomew Fatima. Minus the really long ponytail. That random observation aside, this new trailer for The Last Remnant is exactly what we expected from Square Enix -- awesomeness, mostly. We've all heard the phrases "one young man's adventure begins" and "it's time to awaken" before, but that's all right. We can discount a few cliches here and there. The game looks to be a blast and getting a simultaneous release across two consoles and two countries ... well ... that's pretty cool, too. Still no solid release date, so we expect a fairly vague mid-2008 date to crop up somewhere.
