Passed on to us by Sony's Harvard Bonin, we found out some <a href="http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=warhawk&amp;thread.id=636957">interesting notes</a> on <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/tag/warhawk/"><em>Warhawk</em></a> trophies from game director Dylan Jobe: "there has been some talk about <em>Warhawk</em> trophies super-auto-magically going LIVE late tonight when the firmware is released. This is not the case." This all means, in a nut shell, trophies for <em>Warhawk</em> won't be ready upon 2.40's release and, in fact, for quite awhile -- read on. <br /><br />As we've mentioned previously in our <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/30/everything-you-need-to-know-about-firmware-2-40/">firmware 2.40 guide</a>, games released prior to 2.40 (such as <em>Warhawk</em>) will have to be patched. So, the big question is: when will the <em>Warhawk</em> v1.4 patch hit? Now here is where things get a little funny; trophy support will not be found in v1.4 but, as Jobe states, will be found in the v1.5 patch. Neither v1.4 nor v1.5 have fixed released dates, but Jobe sounds very sure that both will be seen "very very very" soon. <br /> <br />To give us something to look forward to, Jobe details that <em>Warhawk </em>will have 56 trophies set up in v1.5. Ten will be based off "current stats/rank/awards system" and can be retroactively attained. 34 trophies are entirely new and based off the core gameplay, which ultimately means happy hunting for you. The last 12 are set aside as booster pack-specific awards. With four per booster, and only two booster packs currently released (<em>Omega Dawn</em> and <em>Broken Mirror</em>), it sounds like to us that a third booster will be ready in time for v1.5.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=warhawk&amp;thread.id=636957>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/07/01/warhawk-trophies-and-patches-detailed-new-booster-hinted/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1242961/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/07/01/warhawk-trophies-and-patches-detailed-new-booster-hinted/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/07/01/warhawk-trophies-and-patches-detailed-new-booster-hinted/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1242961"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1242961?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1242961" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1242961&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/07/01/warhawk-trophies-and-patches-detailed-new-booster-hinted/" /></p>]]></description><category>dylan-jobe</category><category>harvard-bonin</category><category>incognito</category><category>scea</category><category>warhawk</category><dc:creator>Majed Athab</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-07-01T22:07:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Trophies coming to Burnout Paradise 'soon'</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/07/01/trophies-coming-to-burnout-paradise-soon/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/07/01/trophies-coming-to-burnout-paradise-soon/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/07/01/trophies-coming-to-burnout-paradise-soon/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/07/01/trophies-timed-challenges-for-burnout-paradise/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2008/07/burnoutparadisetimechallenge010708425.jpg" alt="" /></a></div>
A second <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/tag/burnout-paradise"><em>Burnout Paradise</em></a> post has appeared on the PlayStation Blog. Mostly this post, by Criterion's Simon Phipps, discusses the upcoming Timed Challenges. These are just one facet of the upcoming free Cagney update and consist of seventy new Freeburn Challenges to take part in online. For more information on those, be sure to check out the latest <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/07/01/trophies-timed-challenges-for-burnout-paradise/">PlayStation Blog post</a>. <br /><br />While this is all very exciting, the most interesting piece of news in the post is the official word that Criterion are planning to incorporate trophies into the game "soon." They won't be included in the Cagney update, but they will be coming separately. We're not sure whether that means they'll be a part of the next update (the one beginning with D) or whether they'll be patched in on their own, but we're looking forward to seeing them arrive. Hopefully we'll hear more developers confirm their trophy plans over the next few weeks.<br /><br /><strong>[UPDATE] </strong>Thanks to Phipps' response to the PlayStation Blog comments we now know that <em>Burnout Paradise</em>'s trophies will work retroactively. This is thanks to the unique way that the game saves data via the PlayStation Network linked to your account. Don't expect this to be a common occurrence.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/07/01/trophies-timed-challenges-for-burnout-paradise/>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/07/01/trophies-coming-to-burnout-paradise-soon/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1242493/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/07/01/trophies-coming-to-burnout-paradise-soon/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/07/01/trophies-coming-to-burnout-paradise-soon/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1242493"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1242493?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1242493" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1242493&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/07/01/trophies-coming-to-burnout-paradise-soon/" /></p>]]></description><category>burnout-paradise</category><category>cagney</category><category>trophies</category><dc:creator>Jem Alexander</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-07-01T14:00:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Valkyria Chronicles gets DLC this August in Japan</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/30/valkyria-chronicles-gets-some-downloadable-content-in-august/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/30/valkyria-chronicles-gets-some-downloadable-content-in-august/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/30/valkyria-chronicles-gets-some-downloadable-content-in-august/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a></p><center><img hspace="4" border="0" vspace="4" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2008/06/val04.jpg" alt="" /></center>One of our most anticipated titles for the year, <em>Valkyria Chronicles</em>, just got more exciting. Much like <em>Disgaea 3</em>, this Sega SRPG is <a href="http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/game/docs/20080630/val.htm">getting additional content</a> to keep JRPG gamers satisfied. First up, in August, you can download "Hard EX" mode which is, well, harder than Hard mode. It includes new items and a "free battle" option to power up your troops (we assume).<br /><br />In addition, you'll be able to download "Edie's side story" for a cost a little less than $6 (600 yen). When you consider it has fully voiced story sequences and entirely new battles (new battlefields, though? We don't know), it's a pretty cheap price to pay. When the game hits outside of Japan near the end of this year, we won't know if these will come standard or become downloadable later on. We'll keep you updated.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.siliconera.com/2008/06/30/valkyria-chronicles-extended-with-new-episodes/">Siliconera</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/game/docs/20080630/val.htm>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/30/valkyria-chronicles-gets-some-downloadable-content-in-august/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1241425/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/30/valkyria-chronicles-gets-some-downloadable-content-in-august/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/30/valkyria-chronicles-gets-some-downloadable-content-in-august/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1241425"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1241425?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1241425" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1241425&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/30/valkyria-chronicles-gets-some-downloadable-content-in-august/" /></p>]]></description><category>dlc</category><category>valkyria-chronicles</category><dc:creator>Nick Doerr</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-06-30T17:00:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>High Stakes introduced by Rainbow Six Vegas 2 DLC</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/28/high-stakes-introduced-by-rainbow-six-vegas-2-dlc/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/28/high-stakes-introduced-by-rainbow-six-vegas-2-dlc/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/28/high-stakes-introduced-by-rainbow-six-vegas-2-dlc/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/downloads/" rel="tag">Downloads</a>, <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://rainbowsixgame.us.ubi.com/news.php"><img hspace="4" border="1" vspace="4" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2008/06/tom_clancy_dlc_rainbow.jpg" /></a><br /></div>
<div align="left"> Ubisoft will put out a free Fan Pack for the tactical FPS game <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/tag/rainbow-six-vegas-2"><em>Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2</em></a> according to their <a href="http://rainbowsixgame.us.ubi.com/news.php">website</a>, and you can download this via PSN starting in July. It will introduce a new gameplay option named High Stakes, which makes the game much more difficult -- radars, aim assistance and health regeneration are all out the window. Ammunition will be scarce and accuracy during moving will be lower. <br /><br />Furthermore, there will be three remixed levels: Calypso Casino of the original <em>Rainbow Six Vegas</em>, dark Murdertown and dark CQB Training. Lastly, there will be tweaks, balancing, features, new spawning and chat options, new ranks and new A.C.E.S. levels. <br /><br />Full list of features are on <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/news/6193112.html">Ubisoft's site</a>. We are glad they haven't given up on the game, but will we be able to forgive their earlier <em>special </em>PS3 <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/03/23/rainbow-six-vegas-2-plagued-by-online-issues/">"exclusives"</a>?<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/news/6193112.html">GameSpot</a>]</div><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.gamespot.com/news/6193112.html>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/28/high-stakes-introduced-by-rainbow-six-vegas-2-dlc/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1239380/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/28/high-stakes-introduced-by-rainbow-six-vegas-2-dlc/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/28/high-stakes-introduced-by-rainbow-six-vegas-2-dlc/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1239380"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1239380?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1239380" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1239380&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/28/high-stakes-introduced-by-rainbow-six-vegas-2-dlc/" /></p>]]></description><category>rainbow-six-vegas</category><category>rainbow-six-vegas-2</category><category>ubisoft</category><dc:creator>Alan Tsang</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-06-28T16:05:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Novastrike to get significant update (and European release) in August</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/25/novastrike-to-get-significant-update-and-european-release-in-a/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/25/novastrike-to-get-significant-update-and-european-release-in-a/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/25/novastrike-to-get-significant-update-and-european-release-in-a/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/e-distribution/" rel="tag">e-Distribution Games</a>, <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.tikigames.net/NOVASTRIKE/update_20080623.php"><img hspace="4" border="1" vspace="4" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2008/03/425_nova_06.jpg" alt="" /></a><br /></div>
Did you download <em><a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/tag/Novastrike/">Novastrike</a></em>? It's PSN's first self-published game from independent studio Tiki Games. The game got a rough start when it released a few weeks ago, but after listening to player feedback, the developers are going to adjust the game and make it even more accessible to the masses. The biggest complaint with the title appears to be the relentless difficulty: "These modes were meant to be along the lines of casual, normal, and hard difficulty. Based on responses we've seen so far it looks like we ended up with something more like hard, harder, and hardest. Umm, oops?"<br /><br />A new update, planned for August, will not only rebalance the difficulty to make it feasible for mortals, it will also give fully customizable controls, a new fine-aim mode for weapons, and a larger player ship to make it easier to see the action. Most excitingly, PSN trophies will also be supported (with fifteen being added to the game).<br /><br />Once these tweaks are done, the patch will be made available for all that purchased the game already. In addition, this newly updated version of <em>Novastrike</em> will be made available for European gamers as well. We're rooting for you, Tiki Games -- as an independent developer exclusively supporting PlayStation, we certainly commend your efforts.<br /><br />%Gallery-18140%<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.tikigames.net/NOVASTRIKE/update_20080623.php>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/25/novastrike-to-get-significant-update-and-european-release-in-a/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1236850/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/25/novastrike-to-get-significant-update-and-european-release-in-a/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/25/novastrike-to-get-significant-update-and-european-release-in-a/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1236850"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1236850?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1236850" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1236850&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/25/novastrike-to-get-significant-update-and-european-release-in-a/" /></p>]]></description><category>novastrike</category><category>tiki-games</category><dc:creator>Andrew Yoon</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-06-25T19:30:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Details on upcoming Burnout Paradise 'Cagney' update</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/24/details-on-upcoming-burnout-paradise-bogart-update/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/24/details-on-upcoming-burnout-paradise-bogart-update/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/24/details-on-upcoming-burnout-paradise-bogart-update/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a>, <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/06/23/new-burnout-paradise-updates-coming-to-ps3/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2008/06/burnout_bogart_0001.jpg" /></a><br /></div>

<p>Well, <em>finally</em>. We were hoping this would come sooner, but better late than never, no? The widely reported problems of "freezes during certain modes" and "multiplayer connectivity issues" finally have a remedy -- a patch has just been released by Rockstar for <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/tag/grand-theft-auto-iv/"><em>Grand Theft Auto IV</em></a>. An apology was also included in the patch notes, along with details of each problem resolved.</p>

Yesterday's <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/06/18/new-updates-bring-the-pain/">free patch</a> to the popular PSN title <em><a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/tag/PAIN/">PAIN</a></em> has done more harm than good, it seems. According to <a href="http://ps3.ign.com/articles/883/883056p1.html">IGN</a>, the patch breaks all online functionality of the title, preventing players from accessing the in-game store or any other online features. Sony has acknowledged the problem, and is promising an update rather quickly. "We are aware that some users are receiving a network error message and are working to rectify this as soon as possible," a Sony rep said. "We expect this situation to be resolved withing the next 12 hours." For those that haven't downloaded the patch yet, we recommend waiting a day before attempting to play the game.<br /><br /><strong>Update:</strong> The patch has been, well, patched.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://ps3.ign.com/articles/883/883056p1.html>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/20/pain-patch-is-well-a-pain/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1231853/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/20/pain-patch-is-well-a-pain/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/20/pain-patch-is-well-a-pain/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1231853"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1231853?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1231853" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1231853&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/20/pain-patch-is-well-a-pain/" /></p>]]></description><category>pain</category><category>patch</category><dc:creator>Andrew Yoon</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-06-20T13:05:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Metal Gear Solid 4 Database to be released tomorrow on PSN</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/18/metal-gear-solid-4-database-to-be-released-tomorrow-on-psn/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/18/metal-gear-solid-4-database-to-be-released-tomorrow-on-psn/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/18/metal-gear-solid-4-database-to-be-released-tomorrow-on-psn/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/06/18/metal-gear-solid-4-guns-of-the-patriots-database-on-the-way/"><img hspace="4" border="1" vspace="4" alt="" id="img1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2008/06/mgs_4_database_001.jpg" /></a><br /></div>
<div align="left">For those of you who simply can't get enough of everything <em>MGS</em>, there's surprise for everyone tomorrow on PSN -- an official <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/tag/metal-gear-solid-4/"><em>Metal Gear Solid 4</em></a> Database. The Database is a "free, downloadable interactive application that contains the official knowledge base of everything that is <em>Metal Gear</em>, reaching all the way back to the very beginning of the franchise." In other words, all the MGS lore you could ever want in one free official package.<br /><br />In consideration of those of us who haven't finished <em>MGS4 </em>yet, there is a feature that eliminates any and all MGS4 information for a spoiler-free experience. They also added a camouflage and a new music for the in-game iPod under EXTRAS of the main menu for immediate download. It looks like Konami has a lot of <em>MGS4 </em>DLC up their sleeves, we can't wait!<br /></div><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/06/18/metal-gear-solid-4-guns-of-the-patriots-database-on-the-way/>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/18/metal-gear-solid-4-database-to-be-released-tomorrow-on-psn/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1229856/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/18/metal-gear-solid-4-database-to-be-released-tomorrow-on-psn/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/18/metal-gear-solid-4-database-to-be-released-tomorrow-on-psn/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1229856"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1229856?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1229856" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1229856&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/18/metal-gear-solid-4-database-to-be-released-tomorrow-on-psn/" /></p>]]></description><category>database</category><category>konami</category><category>metal-gear-solid</category><category>metal-gear-solid-4</category><category>mgs</category><category>mgs4</category><dc:creator>Alan Tsang</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-06-18T19:45:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Disgaea 3 expansions hitting every month until '09 in Japan</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/17/disgaea-3-expansions-hitting-every-month-until-09-in-japan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/17/disgaea-3-expansions-hitting-every-month-until-09-in-japan/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/17/disgaea-3-expansions-hitting-every-month-until-09-in-japan/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a></p><center><a href="http://nippon1.co.jp/news/pdf/2008/20080613.pdf"><img vspace="4" hspace="12" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2008/06/dissssssgaya10.jpg" /></a></center>It's not even released outside of Japan yet, but Nippon Ichi has been steadily planning <em>Disgaea 3</em> expansions for consumption. While these updates and such may just be for Japan, it's likely we'll either see them incorporated into our game from the start or will see them on the PlayStation Store shortly after the game is localized. Anyway, starting June 27, there will be <a href="http://nippon1.co.jp/news/pdf/2008/20080613.pdf">one pack per month until January of 2009</a> -- contents vary. In June, a new character will be available and sometime in Winter, new scenarios will open up. These aren't free, but only cost the Japanese fans 100 yen per pack. We'll find out in August what'll become of these updates outside of Japan.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.siliconera.com/2008/06/17/nippon-ichi-expands-disgaea-3-with-microtransactions/">Siliconera</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://nippon1.co.jp/news/pdf/2008/20080613.pdf>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/17/disgaea-3-expansions-hitting-every-month-until-09-in-japan/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1228365/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/17/disgaea-3-expansions-hitting-every-month-until-09-in-japan/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/17/disgaea-3-expansions-hitting-every-month-until-09-in-japan/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1228365"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1228365?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1228365" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1228365&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/17/disgaea-3-expansions-hitting-every-month-until-09-in-japan/" /></p>]]></description><category>disgaea</category><category>disgaea-3</category><category>nippon-ichi</category><dc:creator>Nick Doerr</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-06-17T20:15:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>New characters for purchase in Hot Shots Golf</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/14/new-characters-for-purchase-in-hot-shots-golf/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/14/new-characters-for-purchase-in-hot-shots-golf/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/14/new-characters-for-purchase-in-hot-shots-golf/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a></p><a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/05/13/new-hot-shots-golf-characters/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2008/05/newhsgchar225.jpg" /></a>Have an extra buck in your PSN account?

Both characters will be available to purchase on the 15th.<br /><br />Due to the DLC, a patch will be applied to the game later this week as well. The patch is required for all players of the game, even if they opt not to buy any of these characters.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/05/13/new-hot-shots-golf-characters/>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/14/new-characters-for-purchase-in-hot-shots-golf/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1194870/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/14/new-characters-for-purchase-in-hot-shots-golf/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/14/new-characters-for-purchase-in-hot-shots-golf/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1194870"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1194870?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1194870" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1194870&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/14/new-characters-for-purchase-in-hot-shots-golf/" /></p>]]></description><category>hot-shots-golf</category><category>hot-shots-golf-5</category><category>hot-shots-golf-out-o...</category><dc:creator>Andrew Yoon</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-05-14T00:30:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>It Came From Uranus, alright (new media)</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/09/it-came-from-uranus-alright-new-media/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/09/it-came-from-uranus-alright-new-media/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/09/it-came-from-uranus-alright-new-media/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/media/" rel="tag">Videos and Screenshots</a>, <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/e-distribution/" rel="tag">e-Distribution Games</a>, <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a></p><center><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"  codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gtembed" width="425" height="362">	<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> 	<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=33547"/> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=33547" swLiveConnect="true" name="gtembed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="362"></embed> </object></center>
<p> So ... you want more <em>Rocketmen</em> media? Capcom's not giving up on the poorly-reviewed PSN downloadable. It's offering an expansion next week ... and unfortunately, you'll have to <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/03/todays-least-wanted-expansion-rocketmen-it-came-from-uranus/#comments">pay for it</a>. For some bizarre reason, some of you really enjoyed <em>Rocketmen</em>. We enjoyed watching this trailer of the <em>It Came From Uranus</em> expansion more than actually playing the game. Maybe because this video actually had more production values (like music) than the original game.<br /><br />%Gallery-22524%</p><h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/09/it-came-from-uranus-alright-new-media/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1191655/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/09/it-came-from-uranus-alright-new-media/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/09/it-came-from-uranus-alright-new-media/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1191655"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1191655?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1191655" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1191655&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/09/it-came-from-uranus-alright-new-media/" /></p>]]></description><category>rocketmen</category><category>rocketmen-axis-of-evil</category><category>rocketmen-it-came-fr...</category><dc:creator>Andrew Yoon</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-05-09T22:00:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>'You will probably see' DLC for PS3 GTA IV</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/07/you-will-probably-see-dlc-for-ps3-gta-iv/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/07/you-will-probably-see-dlc-for-ps3-gta-iv/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/07/you-will-probably-see-dlc-for-ps3-gta-iv/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2008/05/maybe225.jpg"  alt="" />One of the big advantages of the Xbox 360 version of <em>Grand Theft Auto IV</em> is its exclusive DLC, coming later this Fall. Some may argue that a game as deep as <em>GTA IV</em> doesn't need additional content (Liberty City is a massive sprawl already!). However, it's not like PS3 owners shouldn't have the option.<br /><br />Speaking to <a href="http://www.videogamer.com/news/07-05-2008-8218.html">videogamer.com</a>, SCEE boss David Reeves said that we <em>may</em> see DLC for PS3: "Well I think you probably will see it, it's just that a deal obviously was struck between Microsoft and Take 2 to do that ... I would say to them then, you know, email Rockstar (laughs), and ask them what's coming. I think they already are, probably!"<br /><br />Reeve's wishy-washy answer certainly doesn't inspire confidence in the certainty of DLC for the PS3 version of <em>GTA IV</em>. For now it's still a pipe dream -- one that PS3 fans are incredibly reluctant to let go of.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/07/scee-president-you-will-probably-see-gtaiv-dlc-for-ps3/">Joystiq</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/07/you-will-probably-see-dlc-for-ps3-gta-iv/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1189283/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/07/you-will-probably-see-dlc-for-ps3-gta-iv/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/07/you-will-probably-see-dlc-for-ps3-gta-iv/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1189283"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1189283?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1189283" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1189283&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/07/you-will-probably-see-dlc-for-ps3-gta-iv/" /></p>]]></description><category>grand-theft-auto</category><category>grand-theft-auto-iv</category><category>gta</category><category>gtaiv</category><dc:creator>Andrew Yoon</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-05-07T15:30:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>GTA IV gets 1.01 patch, freezing not fixed [Update]</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/07/gta-iv-gets-1-01-patch-freezing-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/07/gta-iv-gets-1-01-patch-freezing-fixed/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/07/gta-iv-gets-1-01-patch-freezing-fixed/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a></p><div align="center"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2008/05/425_dsc01555.jpg" /></div>
Looks like <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/tag/grand-theft-auto-iv/"><em>Grand Theft Auto IV</em></a> got a little band-aid patchwork today with a 1.01 update. It's a small little tweak at 18 MB, and it supposedly will fix up those freezing problems everyone's been getting antsy over. So far, we've been playing with the new patch for the past few minutes and everything seems to be going smoothly.<br /><br />[<strong>Update:</strong> Looks like the freezing issue has not been fixed after all. Many gamers are stating the problem is persisting. Apparently, this update is supposed to fix multiplayer connectivity issues which cause the game to lockup. <a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=137406">Eurogamer</a> notes: "reducing the loads on the servers at GameSpy and hopefully the completely random hangs that some users have seen".]<br /><br />[Thanks Lee!]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/07/gta-iv-gets-1-01-patch-freezing-fixed/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1189105/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/07/gta-iv-gets-1-01-patch-freezing-fixed/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/07/gta-iv-gets-1-01-patch-freezing-fixed/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1189105"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1189105?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1189105" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1189105&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/05/07/gta-iv-gets-1-01-patch-freezing-fixed/" /></p>]]></description><category>grand-theft-auto</category><category>grand-theft-auto-4</category><category>grand-theft-auto-iv</category><category>gta-vi</category><category>gtaiv</category><category>patches</category><category>rockstar</category><dc:creator>Majed Athab</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-05-07T13:10:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Upcoming Stardust HD update includes trophies, 5.1 orchestral soundtrack</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/30/upcoming-stardust-hd-update-includes-trophies-5-1-orchestral-so/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/30/upcoming-stardust-hd-update-includes-trophies-5-1-orchestral-so/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/30/upcoming-stardust-hd-update-includes-trophies-5-1-orchestral-so/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/e-distribution/" rel="tag">e-Distribution Games</a>, <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/04/30/the-most-graphically-impressive-playstation-3-game-explained-and-expanded/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2007/06/nemain4-copy.jpg" alt="" /></a><br /></div>
The guys at Housemarque have just finished their next <em>Super Stardust HD</em> expansion. The "solo pack" will be followed by the "team pack," which features a number of additions. Ilari Kuittinen, co-founder Housemarque, explained to <a href="http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/04/30/the-most-graphically-impressive-playstation-3-game-explained-and-expanded/">MTV Multiplayer</a>: "It features a split screen Versus Match and Co-Op, ship editor, a true 5.1 orchestral soundtrack, and trophies."<br /><br />We're already excited for these new additions, but what we're even more intrigued by are the upcoming additions the Housemarque team is looking into. "We have been experimenting with a game mode we call "Twin gun" mode (not disclosing specifics at the moment, maybe you can guess?) and how to make music generated levels, etc." A Mizuguchi-inspired version of <em>Stardust</em> sounds like it would be a blast.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/04/30/the-most-graphically-impressive-playstation-3-game-explained-and-expanded/>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/30/upcoming-stardust-hd-update-includes-trophies-5-1-orchestral-so/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1182535/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/30/upcoming-stardust-hd-update-includes-trophies-5-1-orchestral-so/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/30/upcoming-stardust-hd-update-includes-trophies-5-1-orchestral-so/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1182535"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1182535?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1182535" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1182535&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/30/upcoming-stardust-hd-update-includes-trophies-5-1-orchestral-so/" /></p>]]></description><category>housemarque</category><category>super-stardust-hd</category><dc:creator>Andrew Yoon</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-04-30T21:45:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Oh look, another Metal Gear Online patch</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/25/oh-look-another-metal-gear-online-patch/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/25/oh-look-another-metal-gear-online-patch/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/25/oh-look-another-metal-gear-online-patch/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/e-distribution/" rel="tag">e-Distribution Games</a>, <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12121238@N06/2419189849/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2008/04/mgsbetalongupt.jpg" alt="" /></a><br /></div>
Could this be the most frustrating beta ever conducted on a console? A myriad of problems have plagued the <em>Metal Gear Online</em> "premiere beta." We don't want to think about how frustrated people must've been when they realized they got invalid <em>Metal Gear Online</em> <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/17/some-metal-gear-online-beta-codes-invalid-downloads-impossible/ ">redemption codes</a>. Even worse was the <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/17/lengthy-patch-download-haunts-metal-gear-online/">hours-long patch</a> that was forced upon early downloaders. Then, people were unable to register for Konami IDs, and finally -- the beta was <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/21/metal-gear-online-beta-delayed-for-us/">delayed</a>.<br /><br />Now it looks like there's one more step before the beta finally is playable for the masses. Just one more patch -- thankfully, a much smaller one than the first. At least the release notes offer an apology for the "inconvenience and frustration" that many of us have shared. The patch will "modify the way in which the beta client connects to our server."<br /><br />While the frequent patches have been annoying, it comes to show what can happen in a game testing environment. All in all, we're hoping it'll all be worth it in the end.<br /><br />[Thanks, <a href="http://www.c0dereality.com/">GR3EN_CHRONIC</a>!]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/25/oh-look-another-metal-gear-online-patch/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1177227/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/25/oh-look-another-metal-gear-online-patch/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/25/oh-look-another-metal-gear-online-patch/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1177227"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1177227?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1177227" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1177227&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/25/oh-look-another-metal-gear-online-patch/" /></p>]]></description><category>metal-gear-online</category><dc:creator>Andrew Yoon</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-04-25T00:15:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Disgaea 3 getting free DLC in Japan</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/24/disgaea-3-getting-free-dlc-in-japan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/24/disgaea-3-getting-free-dlc-in-japan/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/24/disgaea-3-getting-free-dlc-in-japan/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.siliconera.com/2008/04/24/disgaea-3-gets-downloadable-content/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2008/04/disgaeafreedlc.jpg" /></a><br /></div>
Nippon Ichi hasn't released <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/tag/disgaea-3"><em>Disgaea 3</em></a> in America yet, but Japan is already getting its first taste of DLC for the popular SRPG. On April 25th (that's today in Japan), ten more playable characters will be added to the game. According to <a href="http://www.siliconera.com/2008/04/24/disgaea-3-gets-downloadable-content/">Siliconera</a>, "If you clear the game and Mao's level is higher than one of the additional characters he/she will join your party. One character joins at a time and Nippon Ichi has not announced what level Mao needs to be to recruit any of them."<br /><br />Unlike DLC in many other games, this update will cost absolutely nothing. Free. Hopefully, NIS America will be just as generous when this title eventually makes its way stateside.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.siliconera.com/2008/04/24/disgaea-3-gets-downloadable-content/>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/24/disgaea-3-getting-free-dlc-in-japan/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1176971/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/24/disgaea-3-getting-free-dlc-in-japan/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/24/disgaea-3-getting-free-dlc-in-japan/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1176971"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1176971?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1176971" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1176971&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/24/disgaea-3-getting-free-dlc-in-japan/" /></p>]]></description><category>disgaea</category><category>disgaea-3</category><category>dlc</category><dc:creator>Andrew Yoon</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-04-24T18:30:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Burnout Paradise gaining motorcycles, night driving, SUVs, more</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/23/burnout-paradise-gaining-motorcycles-night-driving-suvs-more/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/23/burnout-paradise-gaining-motorcycles-night-driving-suvs-more/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/23/burnout-paradise-gaining-motorcycles-night-driving-suvs-more/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/photos/burnout-paradise-2/768969/full/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2008/04/2436099719_9ab9102d3a_425.jpg" /></a><br /><em>Click for high-resolution image.<br /><br /></em></div>

They've revealed the <a href="http://www.criteriongames.com/article.php?artID=142">release schedule</a> of their upcoming updates: "Cagney" will be available at the end of June. "Davis" will follow sometime in August. "Eastwood" will be next, in Fall. ("Bogart" is <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/09/burnout-paradises-bogart-patch-out-on-april-24/">less than a day</a> away for PS3 owners.)<br /><br />The "Cagney" update will introduce a new vehicle: <a href="http://www.criteriongames.com/article.php?artID=144">a SUV</a> that's without boost (a first in the <em>Burnout</em> franchise). <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/19/burnout-paradise-custom-soundtracks-to-come-in-cagney-update/">Custom soundtracks</a> are also planned for that release.<br /><br />However, we're most excited for August's <a href="http://www.criteriongames.com/article.php?artID=145">"Davis" update</a>, which adds two new features: a nighttime mode, and motorcycles. The darkened skies of Paradise City will clear up traffic, allowing players to race in the streets with less threat of crashes. Adding motorcycles to the mix is a great idea, but we're wondering if the crashes will look even more brutal than those featured in <em>Motorstorm</em>.<br /><br />%Gallery-12560%<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.criteriongames.com/article.php?artID=145>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/23/burnout-paradise-gaining-motorcycles-night-driving-suvs-more/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1175657/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/23/burnout-paradise-gaining-motorcycles-night-driving-suvs-more/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/23/burnout-paradise-gaining-motorcycles-night-driving-suvs-more/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1175657"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1175657?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1175657" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1175657&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/23/burnout-paradise-gaining-motorcycles-night-driving-suvs-more/" /></p>]]></description><category>burnout</category><category>burnout-paradise</category><category>criterion</category><category>criterion-games</category><dc:creator>Andrew Yoon</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-04-23T13:30:00+00:00</dc:date></item><item><title>Burnout Paradise custom soundtracks to come in Cagney update</title><link>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/19/burnout-paradise-custom-soundtracks-to-come-in-cagney-update/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/19/burnout-paradise-custom-soundtracks-to-come-in-cagney-update/</guid><comments>http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/19/burnout-paradise-custom-soundtracks-to-come-in-cagney-update/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/patches/" rel="tag">Game Patches</a>, <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/category/news/" rel="tag">News</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.criteriongames.com/article.php?artID=119"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.ps3fanboy.com/media/2008/04/425_2420663409_cf6933bfda.jpg" /></a></div>
While we're still waiting on the <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/09/burnout-paradises-bogart-patch-out-on-april-24/">Bogart update</a>, we're already hearing good things about the future <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/15/burnout-paradise-to-expand-over-the-next-12-months-three-new/">Cagney update</a>. One such major inclusion in Cagney is the ability to play custom soundtracks while cruising Paradise City.<br /><br />To play a custom soundtrack, all a player needs to do is enter the Easydrive menu, go to "Soundtrack," and then hit "Custom." This will bring up an XMB page where they can select songs to play in modes like shuffle, repeat, or by group. <br /><br />While this feature is a welcomed addition, the Cagney update has yet to find a fixed release date. This means that the ability to play custom music is, well, still a promise that's far off. The Bogart update is only releasing this April 24 but was revealed way back at the beginning of March. If we can expect to see a similar timeframe, Cagney could still be a month or two away.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.criteriongames.com/article.php?artID=119>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/19/burnout-paradise-custom-soundtracks-to-come-in-cagney-update/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/forward/1172132/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/19/burnout-paradise-custom-soundtracks-to-come-in-cagney-update/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/19/burnout-paradise-custom-soundtracks-to-come-in-cagney-update/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_96-1172132"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/96-1172132?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_96-1172132" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&amp;client=ca-pub-3546992251556849&amp;channel=21&amp;output=png&amp;cuid=96-1172132&amp;url=http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/04/19/burnout-paradise-custom-soundtracks-to-come-in-cagney-update/" /></p>]]></description><category>burnout</category><category>burnout-paradise</category><category>criterion</category><dc:creator>Majed Athab</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-04-19T15:30:00+00:00</dc:date></item></channel></rss>
