The PlayStation Network team is celebrating the holiday season with some great deals on PS3, PSP, and minis titles.

But you'll need to act quickly, as the PlayStation Network "Stock Up for Winter Sale" is only available for one week - November 23-29!

Headlining the Thanksgiving sale is highly acclaimed PlayStation exclusives, Joe Danger and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Joe Danger, developed by the four-man studio Hello Games, released earlier this summer and is what IGN calls "one of the most polished, full-featured, and downright fun games available on the PS3."

Peace Walker brought the award-winning Kojima series to the PSP and had Joystiq calling it the "best game on Sony's handheld." These two games are only the start of the Thanksgiving sale, so be sure to check the other PS3, PSP, and minis titles while they're on sale beginning tomorrow!

A few weeks ago, I was invited to London Studios to see first hand how the new SingStar titles, SingStar Dance and SingStar Guitar, were shaping up, and chat with some of the awesome team who bring us the ultimate party game!

During my time at London Studios on the wet and soggy Thursday afternoon, I was given the opportunity to chat and pose questions to Mike Rouse, Senior Producer of SingStar and was shown how the new versions of the game functioned by Charlie Hasdell, Principal Designer of SingStar.

This was before being given the chance to prove my worth against Charlie and some of the developers of the game!





Of course, this was all captured on video for your enjoyment, and my embarrassment

What can I say about the new versions of the game? Well I have been a fan of SingStar...
