Looks like Mr Hirai saw one of those printed out signs on a lamp post, about earning POUNDS in your spare time working from home. It’s one way to get out of THE HOLE.

It’s the US PlayStation Protection Plan, which an exciting new way for Americans to give Sony a bit more money for nothing in return.

For the 20th time this year alone, the PlayStation brand STANDS ACCUSED of being party to MURDER MOST FOUL. The horrible console’s latest murderous rampage is detailed below, a rampage triggered by the EVIL MACHINE’S off switch – the most frequently used switch of all.

If you have a PS3, or know of anyone with a PS3, be wary. It’s probably best to burn down any retail establishments which stock them, to be safe.

Story found here. Submitted by a man who supplied no less than THREE separate names in his email, the least odd of which is “Darth Canis”.

We’re not sure what Sonic has to do with spinal injuries, either. Maybe he’s encouraging people not to risk spinal damage by doing roly-polys down steep hills and roads?

“Just saw your update on the London Marathon and seeing I was there too thought I’d send you the attached. It has Sonic on it and that’s all that matters right? What he has to do with some slightly dubious fairies and spinal injuries is anyone’s guess” – Chris.

Let’s make it clear that we are IN NO WAY laughing at the degenerative brain disease Progressive Supranuclear Palsy or its sufferers, nor are we ‘taking it lightly’ at all. However, that said, it’s nice to know there are other organisations out there that are dedicated to eradicating PSP.

We have unknowingly been working toward a common goal.

“So I’m out in the field (pub in Covent Garden) on the afternoon of the London Marathon, observing all the super-fit runners with their shiny medals while having an afternoon pint for breakfast and ordering some chips. I see some girl with her boyfriend. She has this promotional t-shirt on with the letters PSP and a slogan along the lines of ‘working for a world free of PSP’. Without thinking I go up to her and ask if I can take a picture of the back of her shirt where this slogan is. She asks why, her boyfriend looking pissy. I explain it’s an in joke thing to do with the letters PSP for a mate’s website. ‘I’d rather you didn’t’, she said, ‘it actually refers to an illness, which my father suffers from. So it’s not funny'” – Adam.

If you want to give some money to a charity they have a range of anti-PSP t-shirts for sale all branded “Working for a world free of PSP”. They would DEFINITELY work ironically in a video games environment.

We live in hope.

Preferably one of her doing a wee in a layby.

There must be a few on the way. Hurry up. We’ll take care of the resizing and cropping, you just worry about getting them off your phone. Use the USB cable if you can’t get BlueTooth working.

Hopefully we’ll get one of a wearer with the costume’s head off while he vomits in the post-race holding area.

UPDATE: THEY’RE COMING IN AROUND FOUR HOURS OFF TARGET PACE…

And another one of the top bloke, from “Chris”. That seems to be it :(

Train2Game has got enough money out of people to be able to pay for a TV advert. It’s called “Be in the Game” and you can probably imagine EXACTLY how it’s going to look and unfold from that evocative description.

This ad apparently “airs” during “The Gadget Show” on a channel called “Fiver” tomorrow night. Fiver is also how much it must cost to advertise during The Gadget Show.

You can’t embed the video, obviously, because then everyone would be able to view it in environments in which comment cannot be censored by the T2G INTERNET ENFORCEMENT POLICE. So click here to see it, then come back here with your post-screening reviews.

Karl’s made another game. This one’s a bit puzzling, as it’s got Cream in it but is also a bizarre combo of existing Sonic art with new bits stuck on top.

Karl, you’re too good to languish in the Sonic remake scene. Concentrate on your original in-house IP.

“The plot – Cream must save Sonic so that he can once again save Mobius. The only problem is that Sonic is trapped on a memory stick in the real world whilst Robotnik wreaks havoc. Featuring AMAZING DIGITISED GRAPHICS and a variety (well 2) of gameplay styles” – Karl.

It’s very, very hard. It reminds us of when mum had to come upstairs and ask us to stop us shouting “CUNT” very loudly when playing Green Beret on the Commodore 64.

Sony’s found yet another groundbreaking use for its Home folly. People put on costumes and do dancing manoeuvres within its empty buildings. We doubt this is what Alan Turing visualised the future would look like when he specced-out his early ‘computer’ concepts.

It’s possibly supposed to be ironic, but this is American teenagers we’re talking about so in all likelihood it’s being taken extremely seriously and people are going to get shot over the outcome.

AVP- Ultimate Showdown on Playstation Home

After battling it out across the universe, Aliens, Predators, and Marines will face off once again in PlayStation Home in the deadly art of dance. Yes, dance. Starting tonight at 6pm (Pacific Time) in the Central Plaza, players can show off their expertly choreographed moves in an Alien, Predator or Marine costume. Even if you don’t own any of the Aliens vs Predator Home gear (and why not!), come out and support the Home community and you could walk away with an Aliens vs. Predator art item for your apartment to be given out randomly at the event!

Special thanks go out to Jersquall and the entire Home Community Volunteer group for making this possible! Show your support and give them a round of applause, we’ll see you tonight for the event!

They only come in “extra small” so if you’re weak and shriveled get in there.

Sent in by a man called “Charlie Tollemache”. And yes, we did these before, but back when they were seven quid. And no man we know would ever spend seven quid on ONE pair of pants – we’d expect to get a pack of 10 for that.
