PlayStation 3's "MAG" In Real-Time
Kotaku writes: "The reveal of Zipper Interactive's MAG at E3 2008 was slightly tarnished by the fact that what Sony presented at its media briefing was a pre-rendered affair. Sure, it looked like that clip utilized in-game assets, but we've been burned by CG before. Never again! Fortunately, on the official PlayStation.blog, we get a look at how MAG will run in real-time, thanks to Rade Stojsavljevic, the game's senior producer. Stojsavljevic notes in the comments that the official still of MAG is "an actual screenshot running on a PS3," one "cropped to center on the action." Impressive? Hard to tell at 500 x 281 resolution, but we're willing to give it the benefit of the doubt."

Sony: PS3 is the only global option for 3rd parties
Platform holder says the PS3 leads in Japan, Europe and has the momentum in North America. Speaking to MTV Multiplayer, Peter Dille, Vice President, Sony Computer Entertainment of America, has played down the importance of losing Final Fantasy XIII exclusivity on PS3, stating he believes PlayStation is still the home of the Final Fantasy franchise. "What you have with Final Fantasy XIII is a lot like what they've paid for with GTA. It's not an exclusive on their platform. It's now a cross-platform game," said Dille. "I think if you look at how GTA behaved in the marketplace and how it drove - or didn't drive - either console, that's what I'm talking about. Consumers responded to GTA on the PS3 just as they did on the 360. And it becomes a bit of a jump ball. But it didn't rise the tide for them."

Sony dismisses PSP 3000 rumours
Post-E3 week is traditionally marked by a lull in games software and hardware news and, by extension, something of an unhealthy focus on rumour and speculation over actual news. This week is no different, with the latest rumours being that Sony is prepp'ing a new PlayStation Portable model – the 'PSP 3000' - for release. The "spy" photos of the alleged PSP-3000 emerged from the PSPChina.net message board.

More Shots of the Rumored PSP 3000
Michael McWhertor of Kotaku says, "Additional 'spy' photos of the alleged PSP-3000 hardware update that we posted last night have come to our attention, again courtesy of the PSPChina.net message board. These shots show off what appears to be a working prototype of the PlayStation Portable, said to have built-in microphone support, among other alleged new functionality. Hit the jump for exciting photos of the new thinner PSP ring, another look at the PS button and one more cosmetic change. While you do say, chant 'This is a rumor, this is a rumor.'"

Final Fantasy VII will be getting a "new" version of the classic game from the massive franchise and it will be exclusive (for now at least) to the PLAYSTATION 3. It is unclear whether a new version will be a simple remake or an extension to the original like Crisis Core, and if it will be a Blu-ray release, or on the PSN.
