Why didn’t you make an interview with MAGs developer Zipper Interactive, I had made a lot of good questions in the comments section, in the post where you asked for questions.

I like the idea of the comic book store on the PSP. I hope we get the Resistance and God of War comics on there
Really looking forward to all the great releases coming on the PSP and the Video Store too

Do you give any feedback to developers from comments on the blog?
If so please tell Kazunori Yamauchi GT5 was looking a tad underwhelming with the limited damage, poor collision physics and dodgy AI and I hope these things will be sorted out before release. Preferably before 2011. Nice graphics though.

Best PlayStation week ever!
Still wanted a PS3 that had PS2 playback tho, apart from that it was all good.

you just sign in at your new Playstation 3 with you current PS ID and then you go to downloads and download your games again.

Hi Jem!
A question about firmware 3.0:
Will this firmware change the initial logo in the old ps3, like in the the new “slim” version where it appears the new PS3 logo instead of “Sony Computer Entertainment”?
Thanks, and sorry for my bad English.

Been a bit slow on here this week for me since I’ve never been into watching interviews and the like (not that they’re a bad thing
).
It’s been a good week, PlayStation-wise.
