A mysterious timer on a myseterious Japanese Site... what the timer is counting down to... well from the looks of it, a game... however what can be sure is that we'll find out in 57 hours, 40 minutes and counting (down)...

Also hear the voices... they sure sound English to me...

"An auction is currently up on eBay for a Sony PS3 console which is being sold to users as being two times faster than the original PS3 console."

""Sales-wise, I'm pretty confident - and this will probably come back to haunt me - that Sony will sell at least as many machines in the three months to Christmas, as they have in the six months since launch. And, I suspect, possibly even double.

"Now is as good a time as ever to buy a PS3, and only months into the new year we've got the massive exclusives like Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet and Killzone 2 to look forward to. Oh, and Gran Turismo 5. I honestly think we'll look back i..."

"John Rooke, Microsoft's UK marketing manager for second and third party Xbox 360 games, cut to the chase and said: "I think Sony will struggle"."

"The hype train has now reached full speed with the latest issue of Famitsu, a popular Japanese gaming magazine, hinting at a possible Final Fantasy VII remake.

From the translation, Famitsu states, "A third party game that will save the PlayStation 3 in Japan is to be announced tomorrow."

With all the recent rumors hitting the net lately, we can only assume they are talking about Square Enix and Final Fantasy VII (Whether or not the speculated Endless Crisis: Final Fantasy VII reporte..."

The list is incredibly amazing as it is, it really has me excited for the future of the Playstation 3. In the latest PodCast by 1 Up, mentioned were names of games that will be coming out for the PS3 and that will most likely be talked about in this years TGS. The list of games includes:

As reported just two days ago, a Playstation 3 Gamercard option could be seen on the Unreal Tournament 3 demo at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival... well here's some more proof of the existence of the Gamercard...

A mysterious screen from Playstation Home has been leaked showing the option to view a persons 'Gamer Card'. Need we more proof to the inevitable existence of this feature?

"When he was asked why he did it by police he responded, “I have an Xbox and I hate Playstation. I found the marker lying on the shelf and I guess I was bored. Sorry.”"

"I realize that not everyone owns each of the next…errr…current generation consoles. This puts me in the fortunate position of being able to compare them and offer a unique insight into the pros and cons of each console. The pros are easy to write about, though, as all three consoles have a lot going for them, so I decided to go all negative and focus on five things that suck about each console. These are presented in no particular order, so it’s not a “top five six” list or anything like that."

"We took a lot of heat at launch for including Blu-Ray in PS3. Now it looks like that investment is being justified.

Next generation games simply need more space on the disc to contain all that high definition content. Take a look at Lair, for example, already pushing 25GB of content, and that is a first-generation title. At 50GB storage capacity, Blu-Ray gives the PS3 plenty of headroom for developers to fully realize their visions well into the future."

As mentioned in a precious article, it was today confirmed that the PS3 will be getting a price cut. Along with that we now have the box scan of the 80 gig box scan (click the image on the top right hand corner).

The new 80gig version will also come pre-packed with Motorstorm, a game that is already a must have for PS3 players. Also from the boxshot we can see that the PS3 controller's "PS" button is red... is this an upgraded version of the controller?
