Greetings, PlayStation Nation! It’s time for a proper introduction. I’m Sid Shuman, and
I’m the newest recruit of the PlayStation.Blog team! You might know me from my 11 years with GamePro, where I served as writer and senior editor
covering my favorite topic in the world: video games!
In my new role with the PlayStation.Blog, I’ll be working with fine folks like Jeff Rubenstein and
Chris Morell (a fellow
partner-in-crime from my GamePro days!). My day-to-day focus will be updating and maintaining
PlayStation’s official Twitter account (Follow us: Twitter.com/SonyPlayStation) and Facebook
page (Facebook.com/PlayStation),
as well as helping moderate and maintain our new PlayStation.Blog Share, where you can submit your own great ideas to the
PlayStation team. We read every one of them!
I’m proud to be a part of a PlayStation team and, especially, to be serving you. So without
further ado, let’s take a closer look at the week’s posts on the PlayStation.Blog. See
you on the internets!
Wakeboarding HD Coming to PSN March 25 — If you love Jet Moto, Hydro
Thunder, SSX, or Crazy Taxi, you owe it to yourself to check out this gorgeous hi-def PSN
title. Dodging sharks while busting monster wakeboard trick combos: yeah, I’m pretty sure
that’s a win.
ModNation Racers Release Date, Pre-Orders and Box Art! — Zoom, zoom,
zoom! I played this nimble kart racer at GDC 2010 for the first time, and was pleased by the
tight controls (epic drifting!) and the adorable character designs. Better yet, the track
creator is one of the best user creation tools I’ve ever seen. This one deserves your
attention.
God of War III Launch Special Tonight on SPIKE TV + Midnight Launch Events!
— The Game To End All Games is (finally) here, and the midnight launch festivities

GameTrailers’ Geoff Keighley and featuring a special appearance by God of War III
director Stig Asmussen.
PlayStation.Blog God of War III GDC 2010 Meetup Recap — Epic game +

competition, countless raffle prizes, and a special God of War III play session. Intense!
Coming to PSN this Week: Patchwork Heroes — In this charming PSP
game, you carve pieces off gigantic airborne battleships using a saw. Epic AND cute:
what’s not to like? The theme song deserves extra points, too.
God of War III Out Today! — The wait is over: Kratos will have his revenge.
The first level alone is enough to take your breath away. What are you waiting for?
New Limited Edition Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker PSP Entertainment Pack

Memory Stick, free PSN movie voucher (US only), exclusive DLC, plus the slick “Spirited
Green” PSP-3000. And, of course, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the
latest chapter in Hideo Kojima’s powerful series.
Meet The Tester Cast Members Luge and Doc in PlayStation Home Tomorrow
— Regular viewers of The Tester might have wondered whether Doc and Luge had “a
thing” for each other. If you made it to our in-Home meetup with these popular
contestants, you’d have gotten the chance to ask them for yourself!
3D Dot Game Heroes Walkthrough — If you’re elderly enough to remember
the 8-bit and 16-bit generation, 3D Dot Game Heroes will be right up your alley. It’s
both a tribute to, and a parody of, the Golden Age of Gaming. Let Atlus’s Aram Jabbari
give you the full tour!
Introducing PlayStation.Blog Share — Since starting with the fine folks of
the PlayStation.Blog, Share has been a near-obsession of mine. The concept of fans contributing
fresh ideas to PlayStation, and voting on them, is a powerful one. Have you Shared today?

documentary video.

First MAG DLC free, coming next week — Zipper Interactive
wasn’t kidding when they said their support for MAG had only just begun. Rejoin the fight
with potent new Flashbang Grenades, new Light Machine Guns, and a double-XP weekend starting
March 25th. All hail MAG!
PlayStation.Blog Moves East next week. Come Meetup with us! — Meet
Jeff and the PlayStation.Blog team in Boston and New York next week! Of course, we’ll
have cool prizes and gaming swag to hand out. But the real attraction will be hands-on sessions

Eye of Indra Bundle with Rika and Pinkerton skins to be released in North
America – Covered in full detail on the PlayStation.Blog, the Eye of Indra motion comic bundle will be available
for purchase on April 1 in the US, Canada and Mexico. You can get the Rika and Pinkerton
multiplayer skins by purchasing the bundle and we’ve made sure that anyone who has
purchased all the individual episodes also get the skins.
Player spawn point updates being rolled out – Over
the past couple of weeks we noticed that our spawn points needed some tweaking. We announced
this week that we’re rolling out updates to UNCHARTED 2 over time to our multiplayer maps
to alleviate unfair player spawning during matches.
The Art of UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves – out in April 2010
– Ballistic Publishing, SCEA and Naughty Dog are pleased to reveal the
upcoming 272-page art book of concept art, production art and character models. The art book
will come in three flavors for collectors of all kinds. You can pre-order now, and
there’s even a limited release pre-order bonus – a 15 minute
video walkthrough of 3 concept pieces.
If you think that your iPhone needs a little something extra in order to challenge Sony’s
PSP, or Nintendo’s DS, the Gamebone gamepad accessory for the iPhone might be just the thing. It does seem to
turn your iPhone to something resembling a PSP, so that’s probably good news, considering
that the PSP looks quite good. Aside from the gamepad, the Gamebone actually goes the extra mile
by offering an additional 2000mAh battery on board for extra gaming hours, built-in stereo
speakers, omni-directional mic, and a (probably unnecessary) 3.5mm headphone jack. There
isn’t any official pricing mentioned, but the Gamebone is apparently scheduled to be
launched in Q4 of 2010.
Profitant du buzz mondial déclenché par la sortie prochaine de son nouveau titre PSP
: Dead or Alive Paradise, Tecmo rebondit et s'offre une série de vidéos à ne
pas mettre -et c'est bien le cas de le dire- entre toutes les mains.
L'heure est venue de découvrir les performances de chaque constructeur sur l'archipel nippon
pour la semaine écoulée. On découvre une nouvelle fois une PSP pleine de vie
qui arrive à tenir le cap...
We've
recently seen augmented
reality used in some pretty clever ways in the gaming space, but Sony subsidiary ConnectedED
has come up with a way to turn real-time
graphical overlays into an educational tool. Using a PSP equipped with a camera, the "Second
Sight" technology allows tags embedded in textbooks or magazines to cue relevant audio or video
clips directly on the PSP.
The program can also create interactive 3D models which the user can examine by changing the
orientation of the PSP. Check out the video after the jump to see a video demonstration of what
we're talking about, and then imagine how awesome school is going to be in like, fifteen years.

The latest episode of
PlayStation Network's Pulse revealed the top ten downloaded PSP games for 2010 so far. Perhaps it
should come as no surprise that Square Enix's classic PSone RPGs have topped the list in the first
quarter of the year. Only one mini makes it into the
top 10: Tetris, whose steep $10 price tag apparently hasn't scared everyone away.
1. Final Fantasy VII (PSP/PS3)
2. Final Fantasy VIII (PSP/PS3)
3. Tetris
4. God of War: Chains of Olympus
5. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
6. LittleBigPlanet
7. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
8. Madden NFL 10
9. Gran Turismo
10. Resident Evil 2 (PSP/PS3)

If our
comprehensive
video preview of Fat Princess for PSP whet your appetite for more, you'll be glad to
know that the full experience isn't too far away. Fistful of Cake will be appearing on
both UMD and PSN on April 27, promising "new game modes, new maps, a new extended storyline for
single player." And although the single player options have been greatly expanded, multiplayer
remains a big focus for the game, with 8-player Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure support.
The PlayStation.Blog
features a Q&A, a new trailer (posted after the break) and box art. Curiously missing from the
announcement, however, is a price. An SCEA rep told us the price has yet to be "100% confirmed,"
and that an announcement would be forthcoming.

When we
last saw renders of the

like something we might slip our iPhones into to give them four buttons and a d-pad. More »

autres : Naruto Shippuden Kizuna Drive.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (WBIE) et TT Games dévoilent une nouvelle vidéo
pour le très attendu LEGOÂ@Harry Potterâ„¢ : Années 1-4 pour Xbox
360, Wii, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS, PSP et PC.
Cette vidéo donne aux fans un aperçu de l'univers plein d'humour du jeu !
LEGOÂ@ Harry Potterâ„¢ : Années 1-4 offre aux joueurs la
possibilité de s'essayer à la magie en se lançant dans l'aventure Harry Potter,
version LEGO. Dans la peau de Harry Potter, Ron Weasleyâ„¢, Hermione
Grangerâ„¢ et de plus de 100 autres personnages, les joueurs assisteront à
des cours de magie, apprendront à lancer des sorts, prépareront des potions, voleront
sur leur balai et accompliront de nombreuses tâches qui leur permettront de gagner des
récompenses. Ils pourront, tout au long du jeu, explorer librement les lieux
emblématiques de l'univers de la franchise, tels que le château de Poudlard, le chemin
de traverseâ„¢, la Forêt interdite et le village de
Pré-au-Lardâ„¢ !
Possédant une petite console portable multimédia (une dingoo a320), il
m’arrive de regarder quelques vidéos sur son petit écran. Inconvénient
, son processeur sature avec des fichiers aux résolutions trop importantes car
l’écran fait du 320*240. De plus, le mkv n’est pas supporté ! Il faut
donc reconvertir dans un format adapté en taille à cette machine.
Pour ce petit travail , j’utilise winff qui est disponible sur la plupart des
disitributions linux mais aussi sous windows.
L’interface est relativement simple. Une fois le programme lancé :
- On clique sur Ajouter et on choisit le fichier a réencoder. (on peut en prendre
plusieurs d’un coup)
- Sélectionnez : Convertir en AVI / Préréglage Xvid full
screen.  (cela étire sur tout l’écran, changez
l’option si cela déforme trop)
- Cochez “deux passes” et mettez 320 par 240 pour la résolution. On peut
essayer de diminuer la qualité du son pour gagner de la place mais ce sera minime.
On clique sur Convertir et c’est parti pour quelques temps de patience. Le travail sera
plus ou moins long selon le temps de la vidéo et la puissance de votre cpu.
Et pourquoi ne pas reconvertir un dvd ? Pour garder une copie de son dvd
préféré sur son mp4, rien de plus simple ! Ici, c’est
ogmrip qu’il faudra lancer. Je ne cois pas que ce logiciel soit dispo sous
windows ... par contre les utilisateurs de mandriva ou ubuntu l’installeront sans
problème
Pour comme winff, il n’y a rien de bien compliqué. Une fois que l’on a
inséré un dvd et cliqué sur “charger” , voici ce qui
apparaît :
On a donc le titre du dvd , la piste video ainsi que la piste audio. Généralement,
la bonne piste vidéo est sélectionnée mais pas toujours pour la piste audio.
Un encodage en langue de molière, c’est tout de même plus sympa.
Ensuite , il faut cliquer sur “Extraire”.
Le sélecteur de profils s’affiche. Dommage que la version sur mandriva ne dispose de
cette grande liste de profils... donc sur cette distribution, il faudra se contenter du minimum
syndical. La capture provient de la version ubuntu.... Voici la liste des différents
appareils portables ou non supportés par ogmrip : Iphone / ipod / Archos 5 / Archos 605 /
Blackberry bold 9000 / xbox 360 / Sony ps3 / Sony psp.
Il y a de quoi faire mais il manque ma dingoo. Quelqu’un y a pensé et un profil
spécial dingoo existe
ici. Le fichier dingoo.txt se trouve tout en bas du billet.
Pour ajouter ce profil, c’est dans le menu Editer / profils / importer.
Une fois le profil choisi , on clique sur extraire et il n’y a plus qu’a patienter!
Le résultat se retrouvera dans votre dossier home.
Petit conseil : pour éviter de trop faire travailler le lecteur dvd, je
paramètre ogmrip pour qu’il copie le dvd sur disque dur. “Menu Editer /
Préférences / Avancées”. Attention a la place demandée, par
défaut les fichiers sont copiés dans le dossier /tmp mais si votre partition
“racine” est trop petite , il faudra changer l’emplacement.
Avec God of War III vient la fin dÂ’une époque. En effet, après
un passage plus que remarqué sur PS2 et un petit détour sur PSP, le Spartiate le plus
enragé de lÂ’histoire vient finir sa route sur la dernière
née de chez Sony. Car oui, ce nouvel épisode marque la fin de la saga initiée
en 2005 par le studio de Santa Monica. Un adieu donc, mais un adieu en grande pompe, à la
mesure de ce bon vieux Kratos.
Déjà entraperçue dans nos premières salves de screens
dédiées à Dead or Alive Paradise sur PSP, la petite Rio nous revient
aujourd'hui pour nous inciter à nous perdre encore davantage dans les méandres du
casino. Car outre les batailles de popotins e(...)
Capcom met en avant les bestioles de Monster Hunter Portable 3, nouvel épisode à
venir sur PSP et qui devrait reprendre quelques points (notamment certains ennemis) de
l'épisode Wii.
Pas de changements par rapport au top Media Create de la semaine passée, la PSP garde la
tête d'un cheveux par rapport à la Nintendo DS ce qui est également le cas avec
les consoles de salon à savoir Wii Vs PS3 ! Pas de grands constat à faire si ce n'est
que les consoles portables restent largement plébiscités par les japonais.
