Not so long ago, PS3Trophies.co.uk announced that GTA IV was getting a patch to add trophies to the game. Now it has been confirmed, with a release date of Monday 27th October. Some people who have subscribed to Rockstar’s mailing list have received an email about the patch and I can confirm it myself as I also received the email.

So now GTA has trophies, will you be playing this game again if you have it already just to get the extra trophies? Discuss in the comments section below.

You have to wait just a little longer

The most anticipated PS3 game of the year as you almost certainly have already heard has been delayed and the United States is due to get their copies in the week of October 27th. However Europeans will find they have to wait even longer to get their hands on the popular game. Sony Europe has said that they expect the game “will start to appear in stores no later than the week commencing Monday 3rd November in the UK, Europe, Middle East, Australia and New Zealand, on a country by country basis”. This delay will be a major upset for Sony however at least it will create some new publicity from some prominent news organizations such as CNN, BBC and Sky all before the game eventually launches, which might actually help sales of the game.

Hurricane Ike viewed through LWP

Hurricane Ike viewed through LWP

Today worldwide, Sony finally released ‘Life with PlayStation’ to PS3 owners. So after playing around with it, what are some initial impressions?

First off, ‘LWP’ is very well designed and it is easy to use: You can navigate the globe with your two analogue sticks. For an initial release, it’s a decent program that you could spend endless hours playing with. However it’s far from perfect. Right now it is fairly basic in functionality and features.

Written by whoelse

It’s been over 4 months at PlayStation LifeStyle, but now I think the time is right to move on to look for bigger things. I have enjoyed every minute at PSLS and I have built good relationships with my fellow authors, and of course the great readers of the site. I wish PlayStation LifeStyle great success in the future and I believe PSLS will strive to do very well. So, farewell everyone and thank you for reading.

If you wish to contact me in the future, you can do so via email: who.else@hotmail.co.uk

Otherwise, you can still see me on the forums time to time.
