I haven’t even finished playing Final Fantasy XIII yet, and already SQUARE ENIX has announced the sequel. Final Fantasy XIII-2 is scheduled for release next winter and will feature a new story that stems from the previous title as well as a evolved battle system.
Episode 41 of FirstPlay is now available on the Store and comes armed with an exclusive set of Landit Bandit-themed avatars. Episode 41 also includes a hands-on preview of Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate Of Two Worlds and Bodycount. Plus, a huge review on LittleBigPlanet 2.
Using the AC Adapter, the PS Vita takes approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes to fully charge.

VUDU has been updated to a whole new dimension today thanks to a new patch for the movie streaming service. If you’ve got a 3D-enabled TV hooked up to your PS3, now you can stream in 3D directly from VUDU. If you’ve already downloaded the VUDU app, it will be updated automatically with the new functionality.
