Sony UK and the English PlayStation Community Team have teaming up to bring a super-special gaming event for all hardcore gamers in the UK: The PlayStation Beta Rooms. From Friday 30th July – Sunday 1st August, Sony will be turning a secret Central Birmingham venue into a gamer’s paradise, allowing gamers to play-test some upcoming games.
Lets face it, this week’s PlayStation Update was below average for Europe. While the US got the Uncharted: Eye of Indra Motion Comic and the Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time demo. Even the NBA 2K10 demo has been pulled from the European Store. However, if Mike Kebby, PlayStation Store Team member at SCEE, is to be believed, next week’s update will be huge. The R&C Future demo will be out in Europe next week and the Rock Band: Beatles Abbey Road DLC is scheduled for next week too.
The wait is finally over – the official PlayStation.Blog from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) is now live. “Now that we’re here, it’s our hope that this blog will grow to become a one-stop-shop for your daily fix of PlayStation news from across the SCEE region,” says Charlotte Large, on the SCEE PlayStation.Blog. Just like the US sister-site, the European PlayStation.Blog will be sharing all the latest PlayStation news, interviews, trailers, event coverage and much more; everything will come firsthand from the people who work at SCEE, in the development teams and across third parties.
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).
