Got my PS3 Slim coffin today. Looks like it's a pretty easy process hopefully won't take too long.

I hadn't read this before, but apparently the PS3 is getting it's own cloud-based music streaming content service called "Qriocity" and eventually video-on-demand through the same service. The PC Mag article doesn't go into much detail (as Sony hasn't offered much yet)... but apparently we'll see this by the end of the year.

Well, if they want to get cute with the spelling like that, I'm pronouncing it like the letter Q anyway.

Hey, @UGOsweeps is giving away Shank codes all day today. You have to watch their site ugo.com to see when the secret phrase is posted and be the 1st to reply to them with the phrase. And then you get a code for Shank! This is for PSN and XBLA.
Unfortunately, I'm driving across the country today and am unable to play. So if anyone happens to find a way to win one for theirself and can win one for me, that'd be awesome.
Go win!

Question about the Subway game...
Last week I won the Uncharted 2 DLC, and it asked for my name/address/etc... so I entered it. This morning I got lucky and won a copy of Little Big Planet 2. When I went to claim my prize it didn't ask for name/address, and said that my "prize will be sent to the address you just provided." Although I didn't provide an address. Do they still have my address from when I won last week? Just wondering if something messed up, or if it was normal to only enter in the address once. I used the same email address that I won with last week.
I really want Little Big Planet 2, so I hope this comes though.

Yeah, they have your address on record. Today I won twice -- a $5 Subway card and a lunch tote! Wanna trade?

There's a USB dongle that allows you to play backed-up (pirated) games.

Well, I used all the free Subway codes and didn't win anything, but today it occurred to me that it was all tied to my email address, so if I entered a different email address, I can use all the free codes again, and today I won....

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Software bugs? We don't need no software bugs
Has anyone noticed their PS3 leaving marks on discs? I've had my Slim since Sept 09, and haven't noticed anything until last night. I ejected a game, and there were 2 small straight lines, in the same area, on the disc. The disc was clean when I put it in, and the lines came off very easy with a few wipes with a clean cloth. No scratches. It looked like dust or some type of grease?
I tried several other discs and it hasn't done it anymore. I'm wondering if it could just be dust from the slot load drive opening or where its ejected. I searched for an answer and I read that its dust, or it could be grease from the Blu-ray drive. Although I don't see how that's possible. I've never seen a optical drive leak grease onto a disc.

Here's what came out on the PSN today. It a huge list. The biggest is Warhawk plus booster for "free" for PSN members. Yes, of course I already own both.
BTW $14.99 for TerRover is beyond absurd. It's a cute little platformer, nothing more. $9.99 would have been pushing it.

Qore gets you the original Warhawk for free this month. Don't know if that's for both annual and episodic buyers or just annual.

Speaking on behalf of every man, woman and child on planet earth, no we don't.
About the PSN Plus stuff, it's the Warhawk game trial only. It's a 60 minute trial. Not sure about what Qore is giving away; I'm downloading it now to find out. The booster pack is also free for as long as you're in the PSN Plus progam though and that "free" Warhawk dynamic theme is pretty sweet, actually. The discounted R&C one looks like nothing special. Nice that they give you an extended look at the dynamic theme with the "Preview" option in the store.
