The guys at Final Fantasy XIII.net got another scan from Shonen Jump, showing landscapes here and monster enemies there. It's getting a bit old, really. But on the lighter side of things, the scans did reveal how Cactuar would look in Final Fantasy XIII, which is...exactly the same. Don't be dissin' the same old look, it seems to be working for our thousand-needled friend - scans also reveal that Cactuar now has a lady friend.

That's not a typo on the title, you read that right. "New" and "PS2" can still be used in the same sentence, without being a smart-ass. The PS3 has just turned three, and its nine-year-old older brother is still making progress - believe it or not, Sony has just officially launched the PlayStation 2 in Brazil.

2K Games has now announced the Special Edition for BioShock 2 which would be the Big Daddy of all swag. It's not because it's utterly the most awesome we've ever seen, but simply because the game's got Big Daddy in it.

A lot of eyes were on Sony at the Media Investor Conference quite recently, where the company revealed their plans of world domination increasing profit in 2010. The interwebs got an unpleasant jolt of "WTF?!" yesterday when they spotted a line that read "new revenue stream from subscription" under PSN in the Sony presentation. SCE head Kaz Hirai quickly moves to soothe the angry mob, saying that the current PlayStation Network services will remain free.

I'm sure I'm not the only one curious about what exactly Alexander is. Sometimes, he's a castle, sometimes a machine, sometimes he's like a statue. For Final Fantasy XIII, the big boy's a mecha. New screens and info popped up again, featuring the Esper in action, plus some Chocobo-riding, and the new Crystarium system.

It has been the talk among video buffs for quite a while now, and it's all very real. For Sony, full HD is a thing of the past. They're now aiming to set the bar even higher by upgrading PS3 systems for full 3D support.

Caught the Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition details yesterday? For today, we've got a few screens so you can see what those new costumes and game modes will actually look like.

Now that the PS3 has turned three years old, Sony has something big to celebrate with. Heads up, Sony has now confirmed that FW 3.10 will be going live today, after being announced only two days ago. Now that's fast. By tomorrow, your Facebook news feed will be jam-packed with download news and Trophy-whoring.

*UPDATE* It's now live.

Now that the new line of PS3s have lost the support for installing Linux, Sony must've felt the need to provide an upgrade for its built-in browser. Hot and fresh out of the rumor mill: Sony is in talks with Mozilla about adding Firefox support for the PS3.

Just because last week saw some big releases doesn't mean there's nothing left to look forward to in the near future. Up next on the queue is Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the beta of which launches tomorrow. DICE any Sony are giving away beta codes for the affair, so tune in if you want a piece of that action.
