SCEA Home manager CydoniaX at the PlayStation boards clarifies certain issues surrounding Home-hopping across regions and the upcoming cabbage patch v1.21 update. Apparently there's been some confusion about Home content, and a bit of envy over other region's content like Prinnies and whatnot. Here's something to look forward to though, other than this week's patch: it looks like picture frames will come in during E3 2009.

I actually know a couple people who are still playing echochrome (gotta give it to them, they've got patience!) and enjoy it (ah, they must be masochists). But either way, the mind-bending puzzle game on the PSN will be getting a huge update pretty soon, and it will incorporate PlayStation Eye and YouTube support. Installing the patch will allow you to watch yourself play the game via an in-set window at the corner of the screen (Why you'd want to watch yourself tormenting yourself is strictly your own business, not mine), and upload it to YouTube after.

If you happen to be in Japan in June and has still to pick up a copy of Konami's blockbuster game, Metal Gear Solid 4, then that would be the perfect time to get one (although I do have to ask why the heck don't you still have your own copy). Sony Computer Entertainment Japan (SCEJ) has announced today that MGS4 now belongs to the platoon of their PlayStation 3 Best budget line.

Eat it, Dood! The Prinny squad is headed for PlayStation Home! SCEJ has revealed a new Home space for Japan: the Disgaea 3 lounge. I wonder if those Prinny dolls can do the cabbage patch too? "Bend over and lean and let  your chain swi---BOOM!"

Whether you're asking for it or not, the latest installment for Bleach: Heat the Soul is already coming out in Japan next month. Three new trailers have been released to anticipate the game's release on May 15. What's more is that one of the trailers show Aizen, Tosen, and Risa.

I've been waiting for this all day. Yesterday I posted about NIS America announcing a "unique and fun" game for the PSP. I first thought it was Yuusha 30. Turns out I that wasn't TOO far off the mark. Today NIS America announced that somehow, someway, they've managed to get the license to localize and publish Sony Computer Entertainment Japan's Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaikida as... Well, just look at the thumbnail on the left. That's the title. Screenshots and more after the jump!

Well now here's something definitely interesting. Tipster bitwreck sent this in; he just sniffed out a patent that was filed by Sony Japan. But... what is it?

Many thanks to bitwreck for sniffing this out and sending us the tip!

Folks hoping to fan rumors of the fabled PSP 2 will surely have a field day over this. The other day, a job posting made public by Sony Japan has the Internets whirring like crazy. See, SCEJ is looking for people to test some "new game machine" of theirs. The job listing didn't give any details about what it is, of course, but it did say it's going to be some new hardware for the PlayStation brand.

This is one tough list to get into, and so we tip our hats to the game titles that were hailed as one of Famitsu's Best PSP and PS3 Games for the past year of 2008. No surprise there, Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G from Capcom took the sweet number 1 spot, with cherry on top for the Sony handheld, while Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid 4 leads the pack for the PS3, with no less than a shining perfect score from the reviewers.

Still can't get enough Bleach games on the PSP eh? Sony thinks there's more than enough room for another one. That after releasing the spin-off side-scrolling Bleach: Soul Carnival, the long-standing fighting series is back with the latest installment: Bleach: Heat the Soul 6. See the debut trailer in the full article!
