Square Enix looks poised to offer Dissidia: Final Fantasy as both downloadable game and UMD title at launch on 18th December.
If the listing on the Sony Japan website proves accurate (well spotted, Siliconera), then we should be able to grab the title directly from the Japanese PSP Store. This involves pretending to live there, remember.
And, what with Square Enix still fathoming out European launch plans, that would seem quite appealing. The arena combat spin-off will be in Japanese, of course, but with the emphasis on fighting that shouldn't matter too much.
This sort of behaviour was started by Sony during the Tokyo Game Show, after the platform holder promised all first-party PSP games would simultaneously appear on UMD and the PSP Store.
There are some videos of Dissidia: Final Fantasy to watch over on Eurogamer TV. ...by Published on October 16th, 2008 18:45
NoEffex has posted details of a new cheat device for SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 2, heres whats new in this release
Version 1 Changelog:
Build 1:
Renamed to 'bakon' in my hatred of KDE..and..well..bacon
Added some more loggerisms
Changes here and there
Logs a certain address if set, read README for more details
Increased the buffer size for the logger, buffer overflows are plagueing logs.
If the SSLoader does not find a file, then it will go straight to the main menu. It got annoying to me, too.
Adjusted the delay, it might flicker more, it might not, just depends. Doesn't take as long to get from place to place.
All logging functions nulled for the time being, until I can figure out what in the world is wrong with them. I suspect it is the size of the buffer, but I could be wrong.

Gamers. We're a right bunch of complainers. And rightly so. When Socom: Confrontation hit US stores earlier this week lacking Trophy support, we were right to go a bit mental.
But it's okay, says Sony, who has plans to fix it. Speaking on the official PS blog, Sony's Jeff Rubenstein said: "I just wrapped up a conversation with the SOCOM team, where they've confirmed the fact that trophies will be coming, via a patch, within the next couple of weeks."
Our guess is that that very same patch will be ready in time for the game's UK launch on November 28. But that's just a guess.
Wipe those tears away soldier. It's all good. ...by Published on October 16th, 2008 18:40
News from ALek
There are some rumors around the net, that newest psp fw, 5.00, will block the access to PSStore to non-original firmwares.
It will be interesting to clarify that this is just a rumor, and it's most probably a fake information.
You'd might remember times where someone said that 3.00ofw was going to be THE firmware, unhackable, etc etc.
Well, atm, using the future systemctrl.prx for 5.00 cfw, it doesn't even blocks the partial cfw made by now, so from here it's interesting to confirm that you shouldn't believe on rumors. So, PSStore won't be a problem with future cfw's.
Nice to get some real confirmation ...by Published on October 16th, 2008 18:38

This is just a simple panel that will come up when you press the L trigger, which you can change. You have to add your own options to it, but I think it is pretty neat.
You can replace the default panel image if you wish.

The UK Resistance 2 public beta will kick off on Monday 20 October and will run through to 13 November, Sony has confirmed to CVG.
Initial access keys for the beta - around 7000 - are being given out via the internet, but there's every chance more could be made available a little later.
The US public beta kicked off today, so it's all go over the pond. If any of our US readers could tell us exactly what's in the beta, that would be jolly nice of you. ...by Published on October 16th, 2008 18:36
News/release from CaptSmokey6
Hello everybody,...
i have a new release for you all,
it's called: CaptSmokey6's Ultimate Portal Fusion.
What's inside? A fusion of PSPWxp 3.5 and iFreeRadio 1.8 in a very simple interface. No, it does not look like an operating system, it looks like a normal web page. It's all web powered which allows instant updates without downloading anything thus saving precious free space on your memory stick. I am still working on it, but almost everything is functional. The things i need to do is to add the links to other websites (such as google, Gmail, eBuddy, and so on) that is included with PSPWxp, the contact me page, and the themes page so you can change the look of the portal. It installs as an Internet Radio portal, which uses only 2KB. The iFreeRadio part of the portal still looks the same. Compatible with official and custom firmware 3.80 and higher.
Where to get it? Point your PSP's web browser to:

Xbox Live boss John Schappert has said he would love to see Metal Gear Solid 4 on 360, and that the console certainly has power enough to handle the beefy game.
"I'm certainly in the fan club that would love to see Kojima-san's masterpiece come our way. It would be wonderful to play Metal Gear Solid on the Xbox. It could become another of the many franchises that started their life on another console that are now coming our way," Schappert told MCV.
"I can't speak on behalf of Konami, but I can shed more light on the fact that we definitely have the power to run MGS4.
"There are a lot of recent examples that are in true high-def on our platform and aren't on PS3. We've got an amazing amount of horsepower and graphics power," he added.
His comments further grind the rumour mill set into action by Japanese Konami PR Yoshitaka Arai, who told a regional publication yesterday that "worldwide demand" for MGS4 on Xbox 360 was "quite high", and something the company was "looking into".
Kojima told us in August he was fed up of people asking for MGS4 on Xbox 360, but then he's trying to move away from the series and leave future instalments to a younger team, anyway.
The Metal Gear Solid creator is expected to unveil a brand new game at the Tokyo Game Show in 2009, too.
What's all the fuss about? Metal Gear Solid 4 only got 8/10. Look at all those worms! ...by Published on October 16th, 2008 18:29
This Powerbook modification is actually a spin-off of another project. Let me explain, my other project (Twenty First Century Mac) was originally based upon a 867Mhz PowerBook G4 Logic board. Unfortunately, the 867 is too slow for active TV Tuners (specifically, the one I already purchased.) so I had to scratch the 867Mhz from the project. Since I didn't have any true use for it, it sat idle. (with 1.12GB of RAM, Combo Drive, etc. To go with it.)
I'm an avid broken Xbox 360 collector, trying to develop strategies for hacking and repairing once-thought dead consoles. I've got plenty of empty 360 cases around with nothing to do but gather dust. When it hit me, The PowerBook logic boards are tiny. Perfect for one of those cases. Even better with PSU integration.
I had plenty of left-over PowerBook parts to make a decent machine. With a nice small footprint.
Specs
* 867Mhz PowerBook G4
* 60GB Fujitsu HD (Former test drive. ☺)
* Functional Ring Of Light, including sleep indication
* Combo Drive
* Built In Battery
* Stealth Power Button
* 65W Power Supply
* OS X Tiger 10.4.11
