Upcoming Sony PS3 Launch in South Korea: better specs Life's not fair sometimes when someone else seems to get a better deal than you and this seems to be the case with the upcoming Sony PS3 launch in South Korea, as the Playstation 3 over there is getting 15 games and an 80 gig model (although the only choice they have is one package). The final details were only just confirmed by Sony Korea today, the people of South Korea will be able to buy the PS3 from the 16th of June 2007 at a cost of $554 / 518,000 won. Although on the downside, the Korean model of the Sony PS3 will have the same chipset that launched with European version of the system, this PS3 has shakier backwards compatibility and no Emotion Engine. The Korean launch will give users a choice of 15 games including: Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Call of Duty 3, Fight Night, Need for Speed Carbon, Def Jam Icon, The Godfather, Gundam: Target in Sight, Blazing Angels, Untold Legends Dark Kingdom, Armored Core 4, Virtua fighter 5, Motorstorm, Genji, Resistance and Ridge Racer 7. Xbox 360 game prices jump with add-ons LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- New charges for online extras are sharply raising the price serious video gamers pay for Xbox 360 games, a profitable move by Microsoft Corp. , but one that could alienate some fans. With more than 6 million users, Microsoft's Xbox Live online network has become the key feature distinguishing the Xbox 360 from rival Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s Wii. More than 3 million Xbox Live subscribers pay a $50 annual fee that allows them to play games online against one another. About 3 million more use the service without an annual subscription, taking the total to more than half Xbox users. Through Xbox Live, players can buy maps for fighting terrains and other add-ons that are indispensable to serious gamers, usually at a cost of $10 each.
PS3 Firmware Brings Upscaling for PS1, PS2 and DVD A few months back Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios President Phil Harrison promised that upscaling would be introduced for PS3. Well, now it's official. A new firmware update will allow PS3 owners to upscale DVD movies and old PS1 and PS2 games. [Update: SCEA confirms firmware for U.S. More details added as well.] Game Review: Odin Sphere (PS2) When I posted my initial impressions of Odin Sphere a few days ago, I was tempted to turn it into the full review. I'm glad I held back; a few more marathon sessions have taken some of the shine off the title. That's not to say I'm changing my recommendation—you should still buy a copy if you're into the act of leveling up anything, really—but the game does have a few issues that are worth pointing out. While some of the luster is gone and my gushing will be reined in, this is still one of the more original and attractive games I've played in a very long time. A title like this is great when you play a lot of games, as it can feel like being inside a stuffy house and suddenly opening every window. You just breathe in and enjoy it. A little girl is spending time with her cat and begins to read a book, and that's where our game begins.
