It has come to light that Sony’s PlayTV, the TV service for the PS3, is to hit in the 4th quarter of 2008. Gizmondo AU were told that it would launch in Q4 around a month after it hits Europe. Gizmondo were also told it would retail for less than AUD 200. Due to the way TV is broadcast in the states PlayTV will not be released in the U.S.
A job listing has appeared on SCEA’s website asking for an “Online Gameplay Programmer”. Not only that but the description mentions working with the team behind ‘God Of War’ and ‘God Of War II’. That team is working on ‘God Of War III’ so is this a taste of what’s to come from the ‘GOW’ franchise from now on?
I personally played very little of the 1st game and have never played the 2nd but i’m definitely intrigued by this one.
‘Real’ gaming news seems to have taken a backseat over the past few weeks but it is returning this week. Don’t worry there’ll be no ‘countdowns’ until a week or so before MGS4.
Thanks, Barmelo

Yeah I got my supposedly ‘refurbished’ PS3 from Sony yesterday and not only that my two copies of GTA IV turned up too. Double Whoot! It’s been a bore without a PS3 for a few days but now it’s back normal service is resumed.
Got home early yesterday only to be met with Sony’s last firmware update (2.30) waiting for me. Not good. Anyway, after the good hour long wait I set up my PSN accounts again and started the downloads of all my games and add-on’s again. I thought about waiting, for about three seconds, and then jumped on GTA IV and Skype.
The game is absolutely sweet definitely in my top two games list (number one being Metal Gear Solid on the PSone). Only had a few hours on it but it’s definitely living up to the hype. If I can actually stop playing it I might post some impressions, but I wouldn’t expect a review any time soon. What I will tell you is that the Special Edition of GTA is well worth it.
Got more stuff to download tonight (All my U.S. PS Store content). But i’ll get that done in the background whilst i’m playing GTA.
