Those who've already taken the time to download the big FW 3.0 update may have had a few bones to pick with the new features. From the changes to the XMB, playing music and browsing simultaneously, even the problem with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - you've been asking, now the European PlayStation Blog has a few answers.

Another PS3 Slim listing has been spotted, this time on Swedish online retail site, DiscShop. As with the Amazon.de listing, this one doesn't really shed any light on the long-rumored revision for the Sony PlayStation 3 console.

The PS3. Gaming console, Blu-ray player, multimedia powerhouse, and pretty soon in Japan, the big black box of porn. Leave it to Japan to give owners more reason to love their PS3s - DDM.tv is gonna launch a porn-on-demand service for the Sony PlayStation 3, bringing top quality HD adult films straight into your TV screens.

French PSP site PSPGen has supposedly managed to acquire a European release schedule for upcoming PS3 and PSP titles. The report also includes scans of what seem to be brochures for PSP and PS3 console bundles.

Dashhacker has finally released a Windows version of his Open Remote Play app. Now Windows users can get in on the fun and access their PS3s using their laptops or phones. Along with the release of the Windows beta, Dashhacker also released an updated version of the Mac OS X API.
