PSN isn’t the Only Sony Service Requiring A Password Change

Joseph Peterson — Mon, 16 May 2011 02:52:51 +0000

Unless you have been living under a rock, or just don’t use online features regularly, the PSN being down the past month has likely affected you. Gamers around the world have been waiting in anticipation ever since the network was taken down on April 21st. As things were updated via the blog, we came to find out upon the first login, once services were restored, that we would be required to change our PSN password. Now we’ve learned that Sony Online Entertainment is requiring this from their services as well.

The PSN was not the only thing affected by the criminal attacks in April, as SOE completely shut down their servers due to being “hacked” as well. As of right now SOE is bringing their services back online, but not their game servers, those will slowly be restored just as the PlayStation Network was. Upon returning, just as with the PSN, SOE users will find that they must change their passwords to their accounts. While this might seem like an obstacle, Sony is simply doing everything in their power to make sure the information compromised causes the least damage possible.

It is great to see things finally returning to normal for all of Sony’s services. Stay tuned to PlayStation LifeStyle for more updates on the Sony Online Entertainment services.

PS3 Rockets Up Bestseller List Due to $50 Promo

Staff — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 22:07:15 +0000

The PlayStation 3 is the most value-packed console ever. The future-proof design features Blu-ray, a Cell processor and a built-in HDD. But you already knew that. What you didn’t know is that a new $50 promotion has caused quite a stir, making the PS3 the current best-selling console at one particular retailer.

Due to an all-new $50 promotional credit, the 160GB PS3 has risen to a comfortable spot within Amazon’s bestseller’s list. The $50 promotional credit can be used toward any item that’s shipped and sold from Amazon.com, but it’ll be best used to pick up a new game (we suggest Portal 2 or Mortal Kombat).

This is particularly interesting due to the stiff competition the PS3 currently is facing on Amazon where the $199 4GB Xbox 360 has a similar $50 promotional credit and the Nintendo Wii’s price has been dropped to a staggering $169.99 — almost half of the PS3′s price point.

If you’re in the market for a second PS3, or if you haven’t yet picked one up (why the hell not?), its time to take advantage of this $50 credit promo on Amazon.

Killzone 3 – Trophy Guide

Jeff Belote — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 17:24:09 +0000

Killzone 3 is the follow up to Guerrilla Games’ 2009 smash hit Killzone 2, with the story picking up right where Killzone 2 left off. The Helghan leader is dead and the ISA are retreating. Unfortunately, the Helghast have other plans. With the addition of PlayStation Move functionality the game takes on a whole new feel. There are 52 trophies to collect which consist of 44 bronze, 4 silver, 3 gold and 1 platinum.

Note 1: This guide assumes that you are playing with the Alternate controller setup.
Note 2: For the purposes of this guide, the hidden trophies will not be hidden.

Platinum (Platinum) - Collect all Killzone 3 trophies.

Collect all other trophies in the game.

A few minutes into the first chapter you will be required to complete Helghan Weapons training. Once completed the trophy will unlock.

In your Face – First Brutal Melee (Bronze) - Performed first Brutal Melee move.

See Hand To Hand Master – Kill 50 Helghast using Brutal Melee.

Time For A Dip – Reach the river (Bronze) - Reached the Corinth River with the convoy.

This is story related and can’t be missed. You will get this at the end of chapter 2.

No Witnesses – Destroy all dropships on the Highway (Bronze) – Destroyed all dropships on the Highway.

This will be in chapter 2. Shortly after watching the cut-scene where Sev and Rico watch three Helghast collecting green energy, you will come to a fight with two mounted miniguns. make sure you grab one of them by pressing “triangle” and take it with you. You will need it to take out the dropships. Eventually you will meet back up with Narville and the convoy. From this point you will need to follow the Exo across a bridge. This bridge will be where the dropships start coming. There will be four of them in total.

Dropship #1 will show up right after the Exo takes out the Helghan Carrier. The dropship will hover above the first bridge.
Dropship #2 will appear a little further down the road. There will be a roadblock with Helgan soldiers on the left in a broken down building. After you kill a few of them the dropship will appear over the road.
Dropship #3 & #4 will both appear after the convoy clears the roadblock. They will appear at the same time and will fly off one right after the other so you will need to be quick. They will fly off towards the left.

Mopping Up – Kill 40 Helghast foot soldiers (Bronze) - Killed 40 or more Helghast foot soldiers on the beach.

This will be in Senlin Beach on chapter 3. At the start of the mission your vehicle will make its way down the beach while driving through a path of debris and buildings. After a couple turns you will come to a building at the end of the path with a bunch of enemies. Kill all of these enemies before you move on. Your vehicle will then turn right and go forward a bit. At this point you will see two areas with enemies and sandbags. There will also be a tank on the left that will drop off a few enemies. Clear the area of all enemies before you move on. You will then make your way around to the left. There will be some enemy soldiers on the left side as you go around the bend. There will be two gun nests with enemy soldiers running on a walkway above them next. After this you will make your way to the final area. In this area you will be right next to the water. There will be two AA guns and two dropships. Take these out as quick as you can and then clear out all of the ground troops in this area. By the time you leave this area you should have killed enough enemies to unlock the trophy. If not then just reload the chapter and try again.

Sawn Off – Destroy all chasing APCs (Bronze) – Destroyed all chasing SawBlade APCs in the Senlin Beach section.

This will also be in Senlin Beach on chapter 3. Shortly after you take out the AA guns and dropships for the “Mopping Up” trophy you will begin to be chased by enemy APCs. These APCs will try and run into the back of your vehicle. You will need to take out every single one of these to unlock the trophy. Keep your gun aimed behind you the whole time as there are no other enemies to worry about in this area. Focus all of your fire on the APCs.

NIS America Reveals a New Trailer & Art Work for Ar tonelico Qoga

Louis Edwards — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 11:46:39 +0000

NIS America put on a press event in San Francisco last night and they had their upcoming RPG Ar tonelico Qoga available to play. After spending some time with the game it’s safe to say that a lot of time and effort was spent bringing the series to the PS3. The graphics looked great, the character leveling system was robust, and the characters were as risque as you should expect from this series.

With that said, here’s the latest trailer for the game:

The game is set to release next month and here are the latest screen shots and character art:

One big benefit of owning a piece of high-quality equipment like the PlayStation 3 is just how simple it is to upgrade the hard drive to any laptop drive of your choice. Have you been interested in upgrading your original 40GB PS3 to a massive 750GB drive, but have no idea what to do with your current drive?? Simple, buy an enclosure that looks identical to a PS3 slim.

Above is a 2.5″ SATA hard drive enclosure that looks a lot like the PS3. There are even LED indicators that light up where the buttons are to make it even more believable. They can be purchased HERE if you are looking to get a hold of one.

NGP As Powerful As the PS3, But Will it Be As Expensive At Launch?

By now we know that the claims, as bold as they were, were true – the NGP is as powerful as the PS3. With such power and beefy specs normally comes a price tag to match. Unfortunately, the price wasn’t announced during last night’s PlayStation Meeting, and Sony is coy on the subject.

Like the PS3 at launch, Sony will likely take a loss on every NGP sold, that is if they want to keep the price competitive and affordable, something that Sony VP of Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida says the company has been concerned about since 2008 when the project first began:

From the very beginning of the project — since 2008 — pricing was one of the considerations that we had. Hopefully when we announce the price, people will see the proper value.

Yoshida then joked of the PS3′s original launch price, which may have been the most difficult obstacle the PS3 faced in its lifecycle.

It’s not going to be $599.

Phew! Though, being the PlayStation fanatic I am, and as smitten as I am with the new NGP, I’d still have willingly forked over that exorbitant price to get my hands on the device. Although, I’m not your average consumer – I’m a bit looney.

Price is likely going to be a major topic regarding the NGP in the coming months, and we don’t expect to hear price details until E3.
