1st PS3 issue

As you might have already heard there is a bug circulating the PS3 networks. It’s an internal bug to do with the systems calendar, it occurs when the clock ticks over from 28/2/10 to 1/3/10, instead the calendar is reset to the golden days of 31/21/99 (kinda like the Y2K but just 10 years too late), the reason is unknown, however millions of players are not turning their consoles for fear that the internal hard drive will be wiped and their trophies will be lost. The bug hasn’t affected players using the Slim line (marketing ploy) consoles, suggesting that the error is internal and not to do with the PSN. This screw-up has come at a particularly bad time, when the PlayStation exclusive Heavy Rain has just been released, probably the biggest PS exclusive to date. I have to say, I think Sony know alot more than they are letting on. If you want my advice, don’t turn your fat PS3 on and play it safe.

A playable Bayonetta demo is to be released on December 3rd, with Platinum Games all set to release it online through the Playstation Network and Xbox Live throughout the United States and Europe.

Bayonetta has already hit the shelves in Japan, in Europe we’re going to have to wait until January to get our hands on the full game however, so it’ll be interesting to see what the demo can offer when it’s released next week.

Edge definitely approves of the game, awarding it a perfect score of 10/10, and it’ll be interesting to see whether or not the general public agree that the game is genuinely flawless when Bayonetta hits the stores early next year.

Having thought long and hard about a name for the new PlayStation motion controller; Sony is still yet to come up with something suitable, and a final decision has not yet been made.

A name needs to be chosen that will appeal not just to hardcore gamers, but to casual gamers also, and a final decision on the name is therefore taking longer than had been expected.

The Sony motion controller was officially unveiled and demonstrated at E3 back in June, and is currently all set to hit the shelves in spring 2010.
