    PS3 is leading both hardware and software sales in France, outselling Microsoft’s Xbox 360 on both counts.
    This sales triumph was announced by Sony and based on GfK data, according to CVG. The PS3 has sold more than three million units in the country, surpassing 2.3m Xbox 360 sales.

    In terms of software, PS3 games have generated €418m, which equates to eight million units sold. Wii games have generated €337m in the region, with Xbox 360 games trailing behind at €239m.

    ThatotherDev a Coder who has released homebrew for the PS3, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS and Windows has posted this news:

    So I got around to attempting to return to working on PS3 homebrew. But I’ve been having some trouble with PSL1GHT.

    I installed the v0.03 Beta PSL1GHT V2 DevkitPro addon (I already had DevkitPro installed for Wii homebrew). But it didn’t come with any examples so I went and got the PNG sample from the normal release of PSL1GHT but I wasn’t able to get it actually compile. I don’t know if that’s to be expected (its my understanding that there is some meaningful differences between normal PSL1GHT and what is included in the addon).

    So I figured, **** it, I’ll just use normal PSL1GHT.

    The PSL1GHT wiki has three tutorials for setting up PSL1GHT on Windows. The MingW one acknowledges that it does not work. The GnuWin32 is nothing but a link to the GnuWin32 installer. Finally the CygWin one which is by comparison the most complete gives me an error instructing me to install gcc before continuing when I get to entering ./toolchain.sh. But gcc is in fact already installed.

    Would anybody be willing to help me out?

    Or should I just go back to using the leaked SDK? Or should I just wait it out well the PSL1GHT people finish getting their shit together?

    According to Ars Technica, 'Hotz is slamming Sony's arguments at every turn. Sony claims there is a PSN account that Hotz created? Well, the serial number is wrong and anyone could have made that account. The manuals contained information on how SCEA is located in California? The manuals were never opened.' Groklaw posted the latest court filing (PDF) as well as their own analysis, saying, 'All the over-the-top allegations, in short, that some journalists published last week after reading SCEA's filing are now answered ably, about blickmaniac, the Playstation Network, the California downloads, the serial number, SCEA's jurisdictional arguments, everything. I confess, this is getting exciting.'"http://games.slashdot.org/story/11/0...k-Against-Sony ...

    Media Molecule has dug out some of its original concept sketches for LittleBigPlanet and stuck them in snazzy frames for auction in the name of the Japan relief effort.

    Contributing to a 'Play for Japan', the developer will lob the sweet sketches along with a signed copy of LittleBigPlanet 2 to winning bidders, with 100% of the proceeds going towards the Japan charity fund.



    There are four sketches, all originals, and four copies of the game which, as an added bonus, come with "special uber rare 'Mm Special edition' box art slips" that were "originally intended to be owned only by Media Molecule staff," complete with signatures on the back.

    The launch of the 3DS appears to have had relatively little impact on the UK multiformat chart, with the highest ranked 3DS-only title being Capcom's Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition at number four.
    The number one position was taken by first person shooter Crysis 2 from publisher Electronic Arts and developer Crytek. 58 per cent of game sales were on the Xbox 360, with the PlayStation 3 accounting for 28 per cent. Despite the original being a PC-only product the sequel saw only 14 per cent of sales on home computers - although this does not include digital downloads.
    In what was the busiest week for new releases so far this year the second highest new entry was Lego Star Wars III, based on the CGI cartoon The Clone Wars. Released on every major format, 33 per cent of sales were on the Xbox 360, followed by 21 per cent on the PlayStation 3, 20 per cent on the Wii and 14 per cent on the 3DS.
    With last week's number one Homefront at number three that meant that the best performing 3DS-only game was Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition. In the individual format charts the 3DS performance is even less impressive, with Street Fighter, as the best-selling 3DS SKU, appearing only at number six.
    Judging by the muliformat chart alone the impact of the 3DS appears relatively minimal, with only two other 3DS titles in the top 10 - Pilotwings Resort at number six and Ubisoft's Rayman 3D at number nine. The latter beaten by PC-only title The Sims: Medieval.
    The pattern of sales for the 3DS is not dissimilar to the recent Japanese launch of the system, where the highest ranking for a 3DS title in the country's individual format chart remains a number three placing for Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle (which it currently still occupies for the third week in a row).
    The other biggest sellers for the 3DS include Sega's Super Monkey Ball 3D at number 14 and Namco Bandai's Ridge Racer at 15, with new 3DS versions of The Sims 3 and Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 causing those titles to re-enter the muliformat top 20.

    The 3DS remains the best-selling hardware format in Japan for the fourth week running, although the ongoing impact of the earthquake disaster may have made availably of all consoles increasingly unreliable.
    3DS sales fell by a third from the previous week, to 61,394. As a result the format now appears to have almost no chance of fulfilling Nintendo's predictions of 1.5 million sales before the end of the March.
    Although this might be seen as disappointing in the context of the console's recent launch it is unclear to what degree sales are being affected by the earthquake disaster - both logistically and otherwise.
    The PSP is definitely reported to be supply-constrained, with sales nearly halving to just 23,511 units this week (including 600 for the PSPgo).
    As a result the PlayStation 3 became the second best-selling console of the week, although its own sales also fell, from 32,406 the previous week to just 26,623.
    Nintendo's other two formats saw small rises from the previous week, with the Nintendo DS family enjoying an increase of over 1000 units to 14,590 (DSi XL: 7,452, DSi: 6,513, DS Lite: 625).
    Wii sales were static at 9724, as was the Xbox 360 on 1619. PlayStation 2 sales saw a small rise to 1638, beating Microsoft's home console for the first time in several weeks.

    XCM has just announced an update to their XCM Multi-Charger that we reviewed. The new update is called XCM Multi-Charger Plus. Not only will it charge 4 USB devices like its predecessor, but it will now charge PlayStation 3 MOVE and Navigation controllers (2 sets).



    XCM Multi-Charger Plus can be used on the following:
    • PS3™ Move and Navigation controllers (2 sets)
    • PS3™ DualShock and Sixaxis controllers
    • PSP™ series (1000-3000 series and PSP™ Go)
    • iPhone™ series (iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS and 4)
    • iPad™ series (iPad™ and iPad 2™)
    • NDS™ series (DS, DS Lite, DSi and 3DS)
    • Xbox 360™ controllers
    • and all devices that supports a 5v USB input such as Android devices (phones/tablets), Blackberry™, iPod™, mobile devices, MP3 players and many more!

    We loved the original Multi-Charger since it came in handy at times it was needed. It definitely helped eliminate multiple chargers plugged into wall outlet or surge protectors. We can not wait to review the new XCM Multi-Charger Plus. Hopefully they extended the power cable since this was our only complaint about the XCM Multi-Charger.

    No word on pricing or release date but it should be available within the next month or so. We'll post more when we have more information available. ...

    News via http://ps3.gx-mod.com/modules/news/a...p?storyid=2696

    Graf-chokolo announced on his blog that he was able to successfully install Gentoo Linux on the internal HDD of the PS3 Slim.

    The famous hacker was able to make this business after increasing the size of the "VFlash" of the PS3 Slim (area of ​​the hard disk for installing the firmware and thus not affected by formatting the hard drive) of 256 MW (at normal state) to 40 GO! The increase in this space then allowed him to install a Gentoo Linux distribution. He says that future users can exploit its format their HDD without losing Linux.

    Next steps:

    - Compile petitboot for the PS3.
    - Install the petitboot VFlash.
    - Create a CFW HV able to boot the OS or Petitboot Game. Petitboot can run Linux (or Other OS) from the HDD, VFlash, USB, CDROM or NFS (as all-makes the old firmware 3.15 or Graf-chokolo its PS3 3.41).
    - Create a more easy (user friendly) to install Linux on the internal HDD.

    Pending that, you can retrieve ps3stor-utils and Linux ps3stormgr device manager, allowing you to create or delete regions of storage on PS3 Linux. They were used to create the new region VFlash to accommodate Linux.

    Here is an overview of Linux partitions on the new VFlash:

    brw-rw - 1 root disk 253, 112 March 25 7:19 p.m. / dev/ps3vflashh
    brw-rw - 1 root disk 253, 113 March 25 7:19 p.m. / dev/ps3vflashh1

    Hi Buddy

    We are E3diy. Do you forget your E3card Reader?
    Today we will bring you a new surprise, a complete FREE gift, the E3 Golden Finger.

    Three months ago, there was a war that engulf the world. It's not only the war between SONY and hackers but also among the jailbreakers. You know, there were three kinds of jailbreaks: those could not be upgraded, those the clone of the clone of the clone and those big-ones which could downgrade the PS3 firmware from 3.50 to any lower version. Those of the three. That was three months ago. And now, how many of them can still be named?

    I don't want to mention that we were the one who had fistly cheated the PSN with a 3.5proof then made the SONY change its strategy; I don't want to mention that we were the first one who had released the world's first unlimited downgrader for completely free meanwhile some smart guys tried to sell their promise but made everyone upset.

    I just want to say, hi guys we are still here, we still work for your joy, and other than these, nothing is important. Currently, E3 GoldenFinger support genuine games (check game list), and the supporting for ROM is coming soon. You can download the E3 GoldenFinger by click here, and read the user guide from here.

    Armed with the E3 Golden Finger means that you could have:
    - unlimited ammo
    - unlimited HP and MP
    - An undead body in the game.
    - Teach those big-guys who truly is the right BOSS.

    The only thing you need is to:
    - Download the free upgrade file
    - Plug your E3card Reader in your PC
    - Copy the upgrade file (GoldenFinger.bin) to the E3Upgrader driver
    - Copy the CFD folder into the 4M memory stick (E3_4M_STICK).
    - Please refer to the user guide for the useage.

    Then everything is done.

    For your joy, we will
    - bring more new features to you,
    - add support for new games ASAP
    - try to make the next surprise for you quietly. ^_^

    Have a good time.

    E3 - make Everything Easy and Efficient

    Best Regards
    E3diy
