PlayStation.Blog.Europe Weekly Content Recap
With James sunning himself in the south of France, it’s up to me to bring you the recap this week, fresh from the PlayStation.Blog trenches. So, as the sun sets on another seven days of videogaming fun, as well as another FIFA World Cup (of which we shall not speak of England’s performance), what’s caught your eagle-eyes and tickled your collective fancy? Personally, inFamous 2 can’t come soon enough…
- inFAMOUS 2 Gameplay – First Look - Electrifying new footage from the comic book sequel that’s on everyone’s lips.
- FirstPlay Episode 14 - The latest news and reviews from the FirstPlay team.
- Battlefield Bad Company 2: Onslaught Mode Now Deployed - What are you waiting for? “Get to da choppa!”
- ‘Heads-Up’ PlayStation Store Update (7th July 2010) - A little weekly tea and sympathy with Mike Kebby. And more monkeys. And pirates. Not sure if he’s trying to tell us something, there.
- Digital Comics Store Update (7th July 2010) - A rather large batch of lovely comics await to paint your four colour world with.
- PlayStation Home: WipEout Museum, Monkey Island 2 And More! - There’s so much new stuff in PlayStation Home you may want to move there for a while…
- Behold Our Modern Warfare 2 ‘Ghost Statue’ Winner! - War doesn’t usually have many real winners, but Modern Warfare is an entirely different matter. See the lucky MW2 competition champion in all his glory.
- SingStar Online Battle Mode Unleashed! - Wanna battle? Have your opponents sing for their supper with the new SingStar mode.
- VidZone Exclusive: I Am Arrows - The beat goes on with a brilliant and exclusive video performance for I Am Arrows’ single “Green Grass”.
- Get In The Festival Spirit With VidZone - ‘Summer’ and ‘parties’ go together like ‘PlayStation 3’ and ‘VidZone’. Funnily enough, we have all four of those in one for you, right here.
- E3 Encounters: Two Worlds II for PS3 - Fantasy role playing gets a little extra magic from the fine folk at Reality Pump.
- 5-in-1 Arcade Hits - Favourites for all from PlayStation Store.
- Want to appear in Gran Turismo 5?
- The Top 20 Highest Rated PSN Games by European PS3 users | PS3 Attitude

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone – although I’ve been knocking around the Blog when we ran the inFamous comic book competition last year, this is my first post since then so your nice reception is appreciated
And as Raider197 pointed out, I’m just standing in for James this time, just passing by.

@seany1
you should’nt care since you hav’nt even subscrbed to psn+ so you dont have the right to complain since you have not spent any money on on the service.
buy psn+ then you can moan about it if you want to
as for me i’m happy with the service i bought a year subscription

Posted on 12 July, 2010 at 9:56 am by Corey Brotherson
Regarding the release date, may I direct you to here? http://au.playstation.com/ps3/peripherals/detail/item267905/PlayStatio n%C2%AEMove-motion-controller/
At the moment the only packs for Move are the ones announced here: http://au.playstation.com/ps3/news/articles/detail/item286643/Experien ce-PlayStation-Move-in-September-2010/. If there are any new developments closer to launch, the Blog and PlayStation.com will be the places to find out.

Posted on 11 July, 2010 at 4:33 am by IIIKAGEIII
it would really impress me if they added a ch 53 to gran turismo for helicopter footage.
or battlefield 3 had a ch53 with move as the helicopter joystick.

Any ideas of why I can’t write messages on the blog on the PS3 browser?
Secondly I see Jeff somehow got the videos to work again through the PS3 browser. Will this fix be brought over here?
Posted on 12 July, 2010 at 2:15 pm by Corey Brotherson
Reagrding the videos, yep – we’ve got a fix and it will be rolled out to the EU blogs soon.

@18 Lucreto: You can post comments with PS3 browser, i do it all the time. Press triangle->Tools->Javascript->Off. Then the page won’t jump up when you click in the comment box. (you’ll need to turn javascript back on for youtube vids etc).
@ Corey: Use this to shorten your links and they will work properly on the blog.

Got a question for you Corey. When wondering about something PS3 related that has gone past the 30 day time period to respond, this website says to use the contact form. This form doesn’t seem to exist for me. It just keeps taking me back to the same page. My question is; how do I contact someone to get an answer to my question?
You do good work.
Posted on 15 July, 2010 at 2:33 pm by Corey Brotherson
That’s strange… well, you can always try this page: http://bit.ly/aOpAZY. Hope that helps.

Welcome Corey, nice to see you
Just stopped by to say i got the newsletter on email yesterday, and noticed it was in my own language, Norwegian. That’s very nice to see, i also thought the newsletter was very informative, nice designed and overall very cool. Looking forward to getting those from now on. I am also eagerly anticipating Infamous 2, there is just so many amazing games on the PS3! I am currently enjoying Uncharted 2 and Heavy Rain amongst others, i’m a little behind on the blockbusters, luckily i have a lot of spare time so now when autumn and winter sets in here in the north of Norway, we have 24h darkness during the day so there will be a lot of time to game. To compensate i guess, we have the midnight sun and 24h daylight now during the summer months, which makes it a little hard to get proper sleep, but can’t complain 
Posted on 15 July, 2010 at 2:36 pm by Corey Brotherson
Thanks, and glad you’re enjoying the localised newsletter – just make sure you get a little sleep at least!
