Playstation Network Update

GTP5 Japanese Trailer Screenshot

The first update since the week before Christmas, and I have to say that I’m a little disappointed. There is only one demo, and one video, but there is a whole bunch of songs for both Rock Band and Guitar Hero. I guess the update is OK though. Don’t forget that five of those Rock Band tracks are only $0.99, which is half off. Here is what’s available this week.

  • NFL Tour Demo

  • Rock Band
    • “Gimme Three Steps” by Lynard Skynard – $1.99

Sony Online Going To India?

Zapak and SOE Photo

Short answer. No way. There was a rumor going around this weekend about Zapak Digital Entertainment purchasing Sony Online Entertainment for $300 million and relocating the studios to India in order to reduce the cost of publishing a game. Sony Online head, John Smedley confirmed that the story is 100% false and aren’t even up for sale. He did mention though that Sony Online was talking to Zapak about distribution rights to one of their games. To be honest, the story sounded pretty fake to me as soon as I heard about it. Outsourcing to India, with a huge brand like Sony, just doesn’t sound like a smart idea. I sure hope it never comes to that anyway.
