Through a press release, GameStop has confirmed they now have demo units of the upcoming PS Vita in over 33,000 stores. So head over to your local gamestop and see if they got one for you to try out! I'll probably be doing just that sometime this weekend. The PS Vita launches for special pre-orders on February 15th and the rest of the US and Europe on February 22nd. Now that you can try out the Vita for yourself. Do you think more people will buy one if they like what they see? Or do you feel the price is still a huge factor that may hurt Vita sales? Are you someone like me who is getting one regardless of the price tag? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Sony has confirmed that Kaz Hirai is indeed the new CEO of Sony. Congrats to Mr. Hirai on becoming the proper successor to outgoing CEO, Howard Stinger. The past few months Sony had been denying any talk or rumours of Hirai taking over the CEO position but they have just recently released a statement stating it is indeed true. The company released a statement saying that Hirai would be taking over as of April 1st. In the statement, Hirai thanked his predecessor, Sir Howard Stringer, for his service and vision, stating that were it not for his "strong leadership" Sony "would have been in a much more difficult position."

So congrats to Mr. Hirai on becoming the new Sony C.E.O!

Look how happy he looks!

Yes you read that headline correctly. It appears a sony rep has confirmed that PS Vita titles will be cheaper to purchase through PSN then the phsyical copy of the game. This was found out after someone was able to take a sneaky but well executed photo of a best buy computer monitor the picture is below:




Sony has since confirmed that PS Vita digital copies of games from PSN will indeed have a discount and they will be 10% cheaper then purchasing a Vita game in retail. Could this be to phase out physical media over time? Who knows. With this discount, do you see yourself purchasing more Vita games digitally or do you still want to shell out the extra bucks for the physical copy?

After browsing a few twitter feeds and around various tech sites such as TechnoBuffalo, one would assume Samsung's Galaxy S III may be dropping sooner then later. Sooner being possibly in April of this year. A rumor has been floating around for awhile that there has been spottings of the new handset around CES and the like. It's also rumored to have a quad-core processor in the handset and a battery large enough to support the new processor. If this is true, that is going to be one hell of a handset. A really solid android choice? Which leads to the next question, when is it a good time to purchase an android phone? If any? It seems a new android phone hits the market nearly every week. So are you already outdated a few short days after picking up the latest android device? Do you care if you're "outdated"? Do you just want a phone that 'works'? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below on what you think of the possible upcoming Galaxy S 3 and android in general. Are you excited for Samsung's new Galaxy S III that may grace retailers this april?

Ed Boon may have slipped and confirmed the existance of the next Mortal Kombat title from Netherrealm studios. A statement from Boon regarding the next MK title and D.I.C.E or Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain is a summit where top video game designers from all over the world get together and discuss industry insider stuff. This was taken from Boon's twitter:


So what do you think? Could this be a confirmation? Or perhaps Boon just wanted to stir up speculation of the possibility of a new MK10 coming? After the success of the Mortal Kombat reboot last year (aka MK9) I welcome this new title with open arms as long as the formula stays the same as the game we got last year but perhaps with more characters and levels would be nice.

What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.

Our sources have told us that Sony is planning on announcing the long-awaited and long rumored title, Syphon Filter 4 next month. Syphon Filter 4 would be the 7th title in the series but the 4th numbered/canon title and the first to debut on the Playstation 3. After a few side games for the Playstation 2 and PSP consoles, Gabe Logan hasn't retired just yet, and I for one would love to see this rumor to be proven true. We can expect that if this is announced next month sometime that an inevitable reveal of the game itself will be awaiting us at E3 this summer. What are your thoughts on this? Are you a Syphon Filter fan? Would you like to see a new SF title on a current gen console? Let us know in the comments below.

Ah yes this bit of news brings me back to my code hacking days. Game Genie enables the user to unlock pretty much everything inside a game. Allows the user to gain unlimited lives, infinite health, ammo, all vehicles, characters, levels. The possibilities with game enhancers like Game Genie are endless. I was browsing the web and found a nifty piece of news regarding CES this year, howver, CES is now over and I am not sure if it was made official or not but I heard a rumour that Galoob Labs Game Genie game enhancer may make a resurfacing appearance for current gen consoles. It's said that the game enhancer will have a downloadable version for Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and possibly a physical peripherial for the Playstation 3. No word has been said about the xbox 360 but one would safely assume that it's a possibility too. However, this is just a rumour and should be taken with a grain of salt. If this is true, I am one happy S.O.B. Especially if it allows me to get back into the code hacking scene. What are your thoughts on this? Are you happy about it? Would you use it if there was a way to prevent codes to work while online?

Ubisoft's new survival game has finally hit a release date....sort of. The game puts players in the role of a man who is stuck in a post-apocolyptic world and he must find food and other supplies to survive while dealing with lots of crazed people due to the 'end of the world' sort of scenario placed on them. Toxic fumes hit you if you go 'up' but you'll eventually sufficate and perish if you remain where you are, so what is a man to do? Try to survive......


Here is the official trailer:


I am alive hits PSN and XBL sometime this winter. It's said that it will cost 1200 microsoft points so figure anywhere from $9.99-14.99 for PSN users. Are you excited for this game?

According to one source, classic PS2 titles Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City have received PS3 ratings. However, this is to be taken with a grain of salt since there has been no official word yet from Rockstar regarding this. One is to assume this is just rumour and speculation, however if it is true that is fantastic news. The question to bare in mind now is will these games be getting the HD collection treatment or the PS2 classics treatment like BloodRayne and others?.
The difference? Well PS2 classics on the PSN store don't have trophy support and aren't in HD so they don't look as nice. For games this big, one would hope Rockstar would put them in an HD Collection instead of releasing a non-HD version via PSN. It'd be kinda insulting if the iPad version of the game looked better then it's PS3 counterpart. We will keep you posted as soon as we hear anything more regarding the release of Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City for the PS3. It's likely that it will happen, it's just a matter of when.
