“Barcelona or Manchester United? If you’re a football fan then you no doubt have plans in place to watch the UEFA Champions League Final tonight and here’s hoping the game lives up to its potential as a spectacle. You’ll notice the PlayStation logos running alongside the pitch – that’s just one part of our sponsorship of the competition. Another part is the UEFA Champions Festival, this year held in London’s Hyde Park. I went along to take a look and shot this video while I was there:

Hello all – you’re all lucky people this week; you get a double dose of me (hooray I hear you cry)!

Following on from the post on the blog last week detailing the new PSN Cards, it made sense to us to compile some of our best loved content available on the PlayStation Store that may have passed you by – and being the kind, caring, and considerate person I am, I’m here to guide you through that content

I’m pleased to say that we now have over 130 games for your PS3 available via the store; and that number covers a wide range of genres, well known titles, smaller self published titles and a vast amount of protagonists to play as. From faceless blocks, to ships of differing guises blasting though waves of enemies, via ‘boy’ and his ability to eat everything around him (including his own tail), a Persian prince who has been given a new lick of paint, and soil living creatures with a crazy arsenal of weaponry, I think gaming on the PSN is looking like a veritable feast of goodness!
