iPhone hacker geohot has hacked the PS3. He’s famous for hacking the iPhone and iPod Touch. His method is the quickest and easiest for all models to Jailbreak them. He’s now started messing around with the PS3 and has confirmed that he has hacked it. He has gained access to read all of the system as well as write to it.
He’s now released the exploit for others to try, to see where they get with hacking the PS3. So it’s very likely we’ll soon see homebrew on the PS3 and possibly the ability to play back up games.

Gran Turismo 5 has been postponed about a month from the originally projected March 2010 release date in Japan. News of the delay came from Sony Computer Entertainment Japan.
This is par for the course in the gaming world I’m afraid this isn’t the first game of the year to get postponed, nor will it be the last.
UPDATE: A Sony spokesperson commented that Gran Turismo 5 has been estimated for a 2010 release in North America and did not see the delay in Japan as impacting the US release
French developer Quantic Dream (the team behind the acclaimed adventure game Indigo Prophecy) brings you Heavy Rain. Heavy Rain will be available exclusively for the PlayStation 3 on February 23, 2010.
There are four main characters in this game and a play time of 8 to 10 hours. That tidbit is not making for some happy PlayStation 3 owners. The trailer below looks promising if you ask me.

Gran Turismo 5 will be available this March for the PlayStation 3 system.
According to a source at Engadget someone has completed a survey for Sony which details services planned for the non-compulsory ‘premium’ PlayStation Network package confirmed by Kaz Hirai.
I would think that PS3 owners who have had the service for free might be disinclined to pay for PSN services, the new scheme does boast an extensive number of new and appealing features. Extended console warranty, beta access, cross-game voice chat, loyalty programs and free access to PSOne Classics.
Again, nothing has been confirmed but it’s a possibility that this could all come about very soon for you PS3′ers.
You read right, a sequel is coming for Dead Space. There is no release date or really that much talk about it, but there is talk. Dead Space 2 will be released for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
I have yet to finish the first game but I am enjoying it when I play it. I will probably get this one as well. Oh and the picture is not official art I just liked how it was copied from the L4D series.
