Easy there, tiger. I’m pretty sure he’s referring to the Christmas holiday period. He’ll have the games finished by then.
We’ll get news on the rest when it’s available.
I like your enthusiasm, Skookie, but try breathing for a while.

I was looking forward to Batman Arkham City, but I am hearing some disappointing news regarding single-use dlc codes and Cat-Woman. Could you clarify the matter James?
Posted on 17 October, 2011 at 9:47 am by James Gallagher
I got some clarification from Warner Brothers: “All console copies of Batman: Arkham City will include a onetime passcode that will enable players to download the approximate 225MB Catwoman pack at no cost, enabling them to play as Catwoman. Those who purchase previously owned copies of the game can pay to access the playable Catwoman content. Playing as Catwoman is not required to complete the game.”

Well, in Norwegian stores they’ve started with Christmas stuff (or so I saw yesterday, might not be them all, but some atleast). So even if Christmas ain’t next week, it’s still fairly close.
Posted on 17 October, 2011 at 9:52 am by James Gallagher
I’ve seen plenty of festive ads too – insane! I’ve learned from experience that it’s good to make a start on Christmas blog content as early as possible. The blog doesn’t take holidays like people do, so it’s quite a large piece of work to prepare enough posts to keep it fresh during that holiday week.

Will we be getting a story about the Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One Collectors Edition?
I ordered it on GAME yet they didn’t even announce it here on the Blog. It is out Friday and I know nothing about it.

Arkham City and Uncharted will undoubtedly be great but it’s difficult to think either will top Deus Ex. Time will tell… Thankfully, not much time!
@polynski: You’d probably best say the kind of music you want ’cause I don’t recommend anymore Outhere Brothers… If soundtracks are your thing, the Linger in Shadows soundtrack is free from the PS Store, Shatter’s is there too for a cost.
If rock/metal’s more your thing, try Last Stop China Town or Breed 77. Inme’s a good choice too.

i think we all want to know what exactly is it that’s stopping Sony from putting PS2 games onto PSN? I know it’s not as simple as flicking a light switch but what is it that’s making it hard to do?

post24 to soon after it went up as the recap is usually from earlier in the week, but what i’d like to know about this is what happens if you’d rather wait for the elite stuff that comes with hardened edition,? do you still get as much content, like ‘founders’ status and such, i suppose there’ll be a blog around monday about all details, not that i want it but am thinking of getting it as early christmas present for someone,
@post9, as much as i’d love to play san andreas on my ps3 i hope it dosn’t end up as a ps2 classic as that is one of the top of the list (imo) games that ‘deserve’ the full works, hd upgrade and definately trophies,.. i can still remember a review in the psm(2!) magazine, where the writer said ‘just forget about your life, and live in san andreas’ .. which i reckon i ended up doing.. so i really hope it dosn’t just get adapted to play on ps3,.. god the scale of that game,.. but for some reason i just couldn’t take to gta4,. i still have it and think the longest i’ve put into it is 2hrs.

Hello James please may answer my questions no one else is (not saying you were my last option it’s just the people who posted the games information didn’t care)-
1)How/why did dr Neifiarous join ratchet and clank
2) When is ac revelations out because I pre-ordered it and forgot the date
3)Playstation owe me an apology because I bought tickets to the Glasgow Playstation convension and in very small writing it said “this promotion is for uk residence 18 and over) I’ve still got the ticket to prove it I was so upset cus of this
30
Posted on 15 October, 2011 at 11:50 pm by V3igt0
…….continued I wasted my money on those tickets (4 tickets for 8ppl my friends and me) I expect at least an apology (and I don’t mind a free game to make up for it *wink wink nudge nudge*)

@chrisandsheva
Sorry to disappoint you thats wrong guess you forgot why EL73 Elite are here as Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 release date is 8th november 2011 same release date for Call of Duty EL73 Elite so Activision are making playstation network more money than anyone else in less than a month from now.

@V3igt0
I might be able to answer your question.
1. I am not sure what you are asking here but I will take a shot. We find out why Nefarious joins Ratchet as part of the story, from the trailers I guess Nefarious goes after Quark who is president now but gets beaten to the punch by another unknown villain and they are all captured and brought to another galaxy. If they want to escape they have to work together. I hope that is what you meant.
2. 15/11/11
3. I don’t know the problem here is if it is the age or location but 1. All Sony’s events are18 and over or bring a parent rule. It is not Sony’s responsibility to baby sit you if you are under 18. You can’t get in to a theme park if you are under 18 so these rules apply everywhere. 2. If the problem is this promotion is for uk residence only you should have know that Glasgow and would require you live in the UK to get the tickets.

If anyone is the slightest bit interested in Battlefield 3, then check the link out for PS3 footage on various unseen maps!
http://goo.gl/iy3NF
Yes, that is PS3 footage so DICE kept their word on making the game look fantastic! There is no mention whether or not the footage is with the texture pack installed that was recently announced, so it may look even better!
Anyone fancy playing on a proper battlefield game with vehicles & open warfare, instead of the usual boring infantry only shooter out there?
I know where my money is going, as the maps are now huge!

Posted on 17 October, 2011 at 10:51 am by V3igt0
@Lucreto
1)thank you u listened
2)they said they would put up a trailer But they didn’t
3)they knew I was under 18 and yet they sold me those tickets
P.S Glasgow is in uk it’s in Scotland

Hi James,
Any new features coming to the blog any time soon. James could you ask the Playstation iPhone App team to add official forum support and posting.
I know that the forums work with iphone back a easier to navigate and faster mobile site would be awesome.

@Catkiller
whats this ”texture” pack you refer too? I’ve had this pre-ordered on PS3 for a good few month now and I can’t wait, it’s the 1 game I have been eagerly waiting for (along with Gears 3, which is awesome by the way) all year. Does this mean it’ll look better than 360 version coz the beta was identical on both consoles? Think I’ll be giving COD a miss this year, £90 for MW3 hardened ed is a bit too much for a game these days, given the current financial climate, god knows how much it would cost to buy the dlc individually as of when released. Activision are more greedy than Bill Gates when it comes to micro-transactions…..
