Who doesn’t like Dizzee Rascal? GET OUT!

He will be performing six of his chart topping tracks exclusively for the PS Home/SingStar community, including ‘Chillin Wiv Da Man Dem’ for the first time in the public domain. Dizzee will also be on hand to answer your questions, so be sure to think of something good to ask him! He will try and meet as many of you as possible, and will be around for an hour after the performance.
For all the details, check here. Ah yeeeeeeah.

This is an optional update that improves system stability during use of some PlayStation 3 format software.

So you can safely assume Uncharted now doesn’t freeze up.

Since firmware v3.00 there have been quite a lot of negative forum-buzz surrounding some of the changes. Some are minor points (oh noes, the da-da-ding chime has gone) whilst others are a tad more important such as music not playing whilst browsing and the My First Sony increased text size. Good news is, Sony seem to be listening, and have released a Q & A that should answer a lot of your questions.

Next time you boot up the PS3 you’ll be prompted to download firmware 3.0. You can see what to expect here.

Massive Action Game or M.A.G for short boasts 256-player matches with no lag. These promises need to be fulfilled, so what better way to make sure they are on task? With a open public Beta which  is scheduled for the 17th of September .
Andy Beaudoin who is the Chief Designer over at Zipper Interactive confirmed the date to eurogamer.de
“On September 17 we will begin the beta open to the public,”
For more on M.A.G head over to the official forum which will most likely answer any question you have so far and …

Is there anything not happening to the PlayStation 3 in September?! What a month! Here’s what to expect from the PlayStation Home patch:

Universal Game Launching (woo!)
Better clothing/ furniture previews
Free camera for everyone! (photos saved to your XMB)
Two new action emotes
New character customisation
SingStar Home Space

Good to see these updates, the first one being the main one to care about, although can we have it straight from the XMB now too please? For more details on the update check out the official blog.

LittleBigPlanet was a hit, no doubt about it as it revolutionized player created content and platforming genre. Recently it reached over a million uploaded player created levels. But all those levels have one thing in common, something missing from them and something that kept them all dry. That is until now.
MediaMolecule just released a teaser trailer showcasing the much needed water add-on for LittleBigPlanet which will be released in an upcoming DLC Pack. This will generate huge creative opportunities for players to design levels using the water which will make …

Coming in the first week of September is the much-rumoured PS3 slim!
33 percent smaller, 36 percent lighter with a 120GB HDD.
Priced at €299 I’m not sure what that’ll be in the UK but I’m hoping £279. The price for the current PS3 will also fall to that price, starting tomorrow.

And how does it look? Pretty bloody amazing!
UPDATE: £250 in the UK, excellent!

Good old GamesCom is hurling out the good stuff. They just confirmed a movie store is coming in November so video-on-demand here we come. It’s about time too!
Not just that but a digital reader is coming in November. It looks like Marvel comics will be one of the first things to get for that as there will apparently be “hundreds”, with more partners announced soon.
I know Sony aren’t great at meeting deadlines but I’m not going to cast doubt… yet.

It seems like only yesterday the store had a much needed revamp. I quite like how it is now but finding content can be a right pain.
Well it looks like that’s about to change as Sony have just announced during GamesCon that the revamp is coming September 1. Sony are huge fans of the XMB so don’t expect that to change too much.

Additional highlights from update 3.00 include:

“What’s New” – The “Information Board” will be replaced with a “What’s New” section, which allows you to enjoy interactive PlayStation news every …
