PS3 Weekend Warrior - Image 1

We didn't see any announcements for new PS3 exclusives this week, but we did get more than enough updates for both upcoming and already-released PS3 titles -- Uncharted 2, LittleBigPlanet, God of War III, and Killzone 2, just to name a few. Sony CEO Howard Stringer and PSN main man Eric Lempel also took to the air (not literally) to say their piece on some of the pressing issues dogging the PS3 and the PlayStation Network. Heartbreak also reared its disappointing head this week as we finally heard back about the long-rumored Syphon Filter 5 listing at mo-cap studio PCB's site. Long story short, it was just a typo. Awww.

The Hardware

Rumor: PS Cloud is a music service. Link
Valve open to work with PS3 development. Link
Relentless co-founder: Microsoft will have problems with the enormous PlayStation brand. Link
Lempel: A hidden update on FW 2.80, the beautiful XMB, and an 'open offer' to Microsoft. Link
Sony CEO dismisses Activision CEO's threats as "noise". Link
Lempel: No more competition with Xbox Live, no competition at all with Apple. Link
Console of choice for Evo: The PlayStation 3. Link
Tretton: Fiscal 2008 was bad, but this year will be better. Link

The Games:

Demon's Souls coming October 6, pre-order goodies revealed. Link
Kazunori Yamauchi talks Gran Turismo. Link
PS3-PSP connectivity confirmed for Assassin's Creed 2. Link
Syphon Filter 5 listing only a typo. Link
Dev diary - WipEout HD Fury environment design. Link
New Trine video for PSN, 'Coming Soon'. Link
Killzone 2 Patch 1.28 dated and detailed, third DLC pack announced. Link
God of War III devs concerned about game getting banned in Australia. Link
LittleBigPlanet:

Ghostbusters pack definitely coming to LittleBigPlanet, Sackboy teases. Link
LittleBigPlanet holds Pod and Sackboy Decoration Contest. Link
Backwards compatibility for a possible LittleBigPlanet sequel. Link
LittleBigPlanet Game of the Year edition coming this year. Link

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves:

SCEE: Who said Uncharted 2's coming out in October? We didn't. Link
Exposition in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves "Don't Quit" cinematic. Link
Less talk, more action in new Uncharted 2: Among Thieves videos. Link

The Network:

PSN Japan gets Final Fantasy II, two other classics today. Link
PSN EU - PlayStation Store Update 07/09. Link
PSN US - PlayStation Store Update 07/09. Link
Giant Gundam statue lands in Japanese PlayStation Home. Link

I still can't understand why Valve keeps flip-flopping about PS3 development. Gabe Newell already pretty much cursed the console out a while back, and then until now it's been a tug of war between "No" and "Maybe". I hope they make up their minds soon, hopefully before the next Half Life episode comes out.

Anyway, that was a rather hefty list compared to the usual crop. Hopefully the next seven days bring about just as many, if not more, updates for the PS3 blog. See you guys again in seven!
