LBP BC? - Image 1It would be frustrating to spend so much time and talent, investing so much work on one level to make a masterpiece, only to find it obsoleted if a LittleBigPlanet 2 comes out. Anyone out there who made such a level? Alex Evans of Media Molecule won't let your levels gather dust in obscurity if a LittleBigPlanet sequel comes out - he and his team could make LittleBigPlanet backwards compatible.

Emotion Engine - Image 1For those who don't know, the Emotion Engine is the chip that Sony designed which acts as the PS2 CPU. The non-backwards compatible PS3s do not have one of these, hence, no PS2 games. According to the patent spotted, Sony is readying the code and the technology to use the Emotion Engine once again.

PSP homebrew - Image 1Back in our forums, browncoat released his eBooted app, a cross-platform eboot editor and packer/unpacker prgram for eboot files in Python, but only for v2.5 and 2.6 since the 3.x versions aren't backwards compatible. This is the first release, so be sure to check out the developer notes.

MGS4Aaaand: restock! Solid Snake's 80GB bundle is available once again on Amazon. Just in case you're looking to buy a PS3 unit (for yourself, or a friend, a brother, your girlfriend, your granny, who knows?), this one's worth a shot. The SKU was discontinued before, but now it's back.

Just so you know, this is not the Gun-metal Gray unit. This is, however, the backwards compatible version, so that's a plus.

PlayStation 3 - Image 1Depressed and unemployed, Erik Salvador Ayala from Milwaukee went on a shooting spree in downtown Portland, then went on to shoot himself. He's still in critical condition, but he left a note for his roomie saying that he could have all that he owned, including his most prized possession - his 60GB backwards compatible PS3.

 Video - 40GB PS3 PS2 full compatible - Image 1A vid up on YouTube shows a 40 GB PlayStation 3 running a PS2 game, supposedly proving that any PS3 model - not just the first batch - is backwards compatible with PS2 games. Reports claim that a patch will someday be available to unlock the feature in all PS3s.

Big thanks to misthero for the tip! Cookies for everybody else!

According to a product description from VideoGameCentral, Sony has a PS2 emulator for the PS3 available online. Buh?

SingStar Vol. 2 - Image 1SCEE's PS3 SingStar title has just been given a patch that lets players swap out discs to access tracks found on other PS3 SingStar titles. Good news for gamers in Europe, but it's kind of useless for U.S. gamers at this point since only one SingStar title is out in the U.S. right now. More details after the jump.
