Buzz - Image 1Tomorrow's the big day for Sony's BUZZ! games for the PS3 and the PSP. And to get you even more revved up, they're letting you know that as soon as the game launches, you'll have access to the very first update, at least for the PS3's BUZZ! Quiz TV. That sure is fast.

Here's what you can get in update #1:
  • Trophies
  • Four new contestants and ten new buzzer sounds
  • Manage all of your quizzes and your download packs
  • PlayStation Eye support - take photos and save in-game. “Get Your Buzz Face On” will let you view your favorite photos and save them to your PS3.
  • Multiple buzzer support in “Sofa vs. Sofa” - now anyone can be the first to buzz in!
Okay, as a recap, let's see what you can look forward to in each title:

  • Six all-new single and multiplayer round types specially created for PSP: Quickfire Challenge, Virus Challenge, Picture This, Weak Spot, Snap Shot and Short Fuse.
