Back 15 years ago to this very day (September 9th, 1995), the PlayStation launched in North America, what an epic beginning to Sony’s newest push; CD’s are pretty commonplace now, “There was a time where CD’s weren’t going to become successful??” Along with that, introducing 3D gaming was a big reason it did so well.

How many hours have you ever played non-stop on a PlayStation console? What do you snack on, or do you not snack when playing? (Seriously, you can’t eat and game unless you’re ok with gross controllers) Find out some cool facts of PlayStation owners and a sweet timeline (video and non-video) of Sony innovations involving their PlayStation brand!

Have you ever played a SOCOM game? They’re quite fun, so if you know about the newest installment, then you might want to check out this video, it’s the Gamescom ’10 Demo in it’s entirety – and lead designer Travis Steiner is doing some commentary!

And SOCOM 4 is slated to come out next year. (more…)

So here’s a little round-up of some sweet interviews provided by the PlayStation Blog, with Ted Price on the two new Insomniac titles, with Steven Ter Heide of Guerilla Games (Killzone 3) on a video interview, and Bruce Oberg of Sucker Punch to talk about inFAMOUS 2.

I’ve got some highlights next (more…)

So August 31st is when the XBLA hit Castle Crashers actually becomes multi-platform and goes on the PSN!

They were in development for about a year and a half, and it’s finally ready to be released. If you like free stuff, you might want to check out their site for news, who knows what you’ll win?

Behemoth will be at PAX on September 3rd-5th at Booth #3102!

Remember when people would always say, “Omg, Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank are the best games on the PS2!”?

And then you were thinking they should make a game with all of them? Yeah, Sony thought the same thing. So Nihilistic Software is in charge of the project!

So Ratchet, Clank, Jak, Daxter, Sly and Bentley will all be going through very rigorous challenges, but get this, you get to choose which Hero does the challenge each challenge. And everyone can be an anyone’s world, (more…)

So Sony has been cranking out HDD “upgrades” like crazy, 20GB, 40GB, 60GB, 80GB, 120GB, 250GB, and now, 160GB and 320GB PS3′s join the crew. What will they think of next!

The 160GB PS3 will be shipped to retailers worldwide … now. It’ll be at the $299.99 (MSRP) price still, so that’s very exciting!

The 320GB PS3 Move Bundle will have a later release, September 19th, and it’s price is $399.99 (MSRP), but hey, not only does it come with a 320GB HDD, it comes with a copy of Sports Champions, a PlayStation Move Controller, PlayStation Eye camera, and a bonus Blu-ray with demos for other Move games!

Killzone 3, slated for a February 2011 release seems to be one of those games Sony really wants to sell consoles. What with the cover of the box being such a huge advertisement for just about everything possible on the system, there seems to be no space for any actual box art!

In the trailer, we get our first glimpse at what kind of new goodies await us in multiplayer this iteration; amongst those goodies lie exoskeletons, jet-packs and the all-too familiar squeaking XP sound.

There’s a pattern going on with these jazz-y trailers apparently. inFAMOUS 2 is Sucker Punch’s latest game, and sequel to the hit inFAMOUS.

It’s pretty straight-forward: monsters, lightning, people, buildings, rocket launchers, oh, and the old Cole is back. See? Enough complaining and game studios listen, because they’d rather you be happy and buy their games than have themselves be happy.

Or maybe somehow everyone’s happy…
