Well that didn’t take long. Less than three weeks after its debut in the US and Canada, our first group of hackers have discovered a way to rip Blu-ray movie discs to their PlayStation 3’s hard drive using Yellow Dog Linux 5.0, which is the first step to completely defeating the Blu-ray’s “improved” security features.

Up until ten minutes ago I’d never heard of PS2 game Rule of Rose, a macabre journey through a 1930s orphanage complete with sadistic child torture and creepy “you belong to us now” storyline. However now having found out that, slated for release in the UK today, it now in fact won’t be sold here [...]
Just in time to cash in on the PlayStation 2’s final holiday season as king of the hill (it’s big brother comes out next week, after all), Take-Two has announced GTA: The Trilogy. If the name doesn’t quite clue you in as to what this is, exactly, it’s all three PS2 Grand Theft Auto games [...]
Given Sony’s recent displays of mental instability, it’s nice to see that they haven’t forgotten about the one thing keeping the gaming department afloat right now; the PlayStation 2.

Akiba Keizan Shimbun (shown below) has their kiosk - hands-off, of course, so that no customers can [...]
Sorry everyone here in the US looking at the Japanese PlayStation 3 price cut to come our way; it isn’t happening, at least for now. Sony has stated that the recently-announced 20 GB PS3 price cut over in Japan is region-specific and won’t find its way Stateside in time for the PS3’s launch, which means [...]
As a quick update to the story we ran yesterday regarding Sony’s high PlayStation 3 game prices, it now appears that Sony is looking to head off some understandable unrest here in the States. Sony Style has begun taking preorders for PS3 games like Call of Duty 3, and they’ll only run you around $59.99 [...]
While this really isn’t a huge matter in and of itself, it’s been confirmed that Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 3 console won’t have an HDMI cable included. This obviously only applies to the $600 PS3 (the $500 PS3 won’t have HDMI, period), and shows that Sony is really looking to cut costs anywhere they can in [...]
So, would you rather get lost or put up with your kid whining because you’re using his beloved PSP as a GPS? That’s your problem, I’m just here to report that Sony’s about to announce a GPS unit next month. From what I can gather from the images, it sticks out a whole lot at [...]
