MotorStorm: Pacific Rift has received its second major update, adding several new features to the game. The upload is over 400MB in size dispite such a small increase in the version number. The update adds 40 unique Microbadges for every player to collect, brand new selection of ranked races and more (details below). You can update your copy of the game by booting up MotorStorm.
Two new PlayStation 3 bundles could be on their way to Europe, costing €399 each. Two images have surfaced suggesting 80GB inFamous and Ratchet & Clank Future bundle packages, expected to be released towards the end of this month. Both the packages will come bundled with the advertised game, and the Ratchet & Clank bundle will also include a extra DualShock 3 controller (as it’s a fairly old title).
We’ve finished moving the website over from the old CMS. The Wallpaper Gallery is now available to access and we’ve also finished implementing the PSP version of the blog. You will find all our XMB Wallpapers split into categories just as they were on our old website. The PSP version of the blog can be accessed by going to https://www.xtremeps3.com/ on your PSP. The PSP version is a light-weight version of the complete blog – only some features are available.
XTREME PS3 is also accessible using the iPhone, Google Android or Blackberry mobile phones. Once again, only some features are available but now you can check out the latest news and articles on the go with ease. To access the mobile version just go to https://www.xtremeps3.com/ on your device.
If you don’t like the DualShock feature on your controller, you can easily disable the vibration.
Simply hold down the button until the on-screen menu appears. Select [Controller Settings] and toggle the [Vibration Function] from there.
Grouping of content (including Games) has been supported since Firmware 2.00.
See this FAQ for instructions on grouping your content.
Earlier this morning we received an email titled “Here is your UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Multiplayer Beta voucher“, containing our beta code to access the Uncharted 2 Multiplayer Beta (details below). If you are a Qore subscriber, you should have received your beta code too. The beta is due to start on June 3rd 2009 until June 28th 2009. You won’t be able to redeem your code until June 3rd.
Since Firmware 2.00, the PlayStation 3 has allowed you to group content on your PS3 into Folders. You can group Photos, Music, Videos and even Games into Folders. Games can be arranged into custom folders too, e.g. “Demos”, “PSOne Classics” etc.
To group content, press 
to see the grouping options. Optionally, press 
and the PS3 will cycle through the different grouping options.
For games, press and go down to [Information]. On this screen, you can edit the “Album” name to whatever you want. This can be a handy way to group different game genres (e.g. action, RPG etc), formats (minis, PSOne, PSN) or whatever else you fancy.
The US PlayStation Store has been updated with new video content, just in time for the weekend. Five new HD movies are available purchase as well as lots of new TV episodes and SD movies (details below). As for last week’s top 10 downloaded movies, Bride Wars came first place followed by Yes Man in second and The Wrestler in third place.
The first PlayStation Store update for May is live! Two new playable demos are available from both the US and European Stores and there is also a huge range of new game add-on content. Qore Episode 12 is now available to purchase from the US Store. New add-on content includes LittleBigPlanet Norse Mythology Pack, Wheelman expansion packs, new Guitar Hero and Rock Band tracks and Trivial Pursuit expansion pack. See the complete list of new content for both stores below.
Every Thursday, Sony released new content to the PlayStation store. The playable demos, full games and add-on content requires you to download and then install before you can play them. The worst part of this process is the actual downloading and installing of the content – but did you know that you can auto-install the content so you don’t waste time installing it yourself?
