36w ago - Following up on the previous update and yesterday's PSN Passphrase leak, today Chinese PlayStation 3 hacker Luckystar has released an unofficial version of FckPSN 0.9c which allows PS3 Custom Firmware (CFW) users to access Sony's PlayStation Network once again.

Download: FckPSN 0.9c and Certificates / FckPSN 0.9c and Certificates (Mirror) / FckPSN 4.25 PLATFORM_VERSION Test by Nimloth / OpenPS3FTP and Dev_Blind / OpenPS3FTP and Dev_Blind (Mirror)

87w ago - It's been only five weeks since the last PSN TOS update, and today I received an e-mail from Sony updating their new Terms of Service and Privacy Policy once again, which also introduces Sony Entertainment Network as outlined below.

According to the new Terms of Service Agreement (PDF File), those who continue to use PSN must essentially waive all rights to participate in new class action lawsuits against Sony and agree to resolve such matters on an individual basis only.

To quote: On September 15, 2011, Sony Network Entertainment America Inc. ("SNEA") will transfer its online services operations, including your wallet and the funds in it, to Sony Network Entertainment International LLC ("SNEI").

The first time you sign in to your PlayStation Network account on or after September 15, 2011, you will be asked to enter into a new Terms of Service and User Agreement ("TOS") and Privacy Policy with SNEI if you wish to continue using your PlayStation Network account. Please review all changes...

101w ago - Hi, after the events this weekend regarding a domain issue I've had to release a new build to patch several glitches with premium memberships and some server side work to fix the advert not closing after clicking skip. In 3.90 these are minor changes, but we're required:

1) changed all server side links to pixolia.co.uk from pixolia.org. that's about it one small change to fix several issues...

Download: PSN Download Manager 3.90

Also I realised a few saying the advert got stuck, and in some / most cases people didn't click the skip button.

The advert shown at the startup will never close until you've clicked on the skip button unlocked after 5 seconds, it may take slightly longer on single core computers so be patient (old single core computers cause the multithreading to hang for a minute or two, nothing I can do about that.)

I've also reduced the number of advertisements on my website, I'm very disappointed by clicksor for allowing such issues to occur and have reported them to various sites about the risks they pose to consumer safety.

Due to these issues, I recommend...

102w ago - As a follow-up to the previous announcement, Sony's PlayStation Store Director Grace Chen is here with the return of the US (and European) PSN updates today.

To quote: The PlayStation Store is back online and thank you everyone for your patience. You will notice a huge lineup of new downloadable games, demos, add-on content, themes, avatars and videos.

Also, PlayStation Plus has been updated with new full game trials, free games and DLC, free avatars and even more discounts.

You may have noticed that the content promised as part of the Welcome Back offer is not yet live. It is currently in the final stages of testing and will be available to download soon; we'll be sure to let you know when.

The next PlayStation Store and PlayStation Plus update will be this Friday, June 3, and then we will roll right into some special publishes starting next week for E3 (so be sure to check back daily!).

In the meantime, check out all the new downloadable content on PlayStation Store.

125w ago - SCEA Assistant Producer Dais Kawaguchi has shared some holiday Beat Sketcher user videos today alongside news of an updated demo on PSN.

To quote: It's been a few weeks since Beat Sketcher for PlayStation Move released onto PSN in the U.S. and we've been checking out all the great Beat Sketcher videos that fans are posting onto YouTube every day!

We're having so much fun and we'd like to thank you all for sharing your videos. This week we'd like to introduce few videos that caught the attention of the team.





Yasuhiro Kawagoe - Sound Director *noisycroak Co., Ltd.

"I liked the uniqueness of drawing traditional Japanese"ORIGAMI" using Japanese sounds. Also, I was surprised by the idea of having the background pattern come up using the eraser at the end of the video!"





Hiroshi Shiina - Producer

"The Artist quickly learned how to use the tools and I love the artwork! Also, I liked how he drew without having any hesitation. It seemed so natural. If anyone is having difficulty drawing on the edge of the screen, try moving your body to the left and right or stepping closer...
