Singstar 3.01 update tomorrow!

It's time to take a break from watching American Idol and get your Singstar mics out to belt out some of your own karaoke!

See Sackboy star in a Music Video

Watch the embedded video as the Indie Pop band, Beat Crusaders and Little Big Planet's very own Sackboys dance to some very cool electronic beats. The song is called Phantom Planet. The band Beat Crusaders is from Shimokitazawa, Tokyo. Isn't it amazing how little our very own big planet really is?

Xbox360 controller on a PS3, that's blasphemous!

If you're a fan of the Xbox360's controller and you love the power of your PS3, XCM has part of the answer for you. XCM has announced an adapter which allows you to hook up your 360's wired controller into your PS3's USB port. They have the Cross Battle Adapter & the Cross Battle Adapter Plus adapter. The Plus allows for Rumble to work. With a MSRP of $39.99, I can't see these flying off the shelf, but if this is what is holding you back from playing some awesome PS3 games then this might be your answer. I know my Dual Shock will still be connecting wirelessly to my PS3 for a long time, but if you do pick this item up, just remember that the games that do take advantage of the Six Axis tilt functions wont work with this setup.

Rumor: PS3 Firmware 2.70 details

If what Neobara has posted, in the GT forum, is true; PS3's Firmware 2.70 update could be huge! It sounds as if Sony is listening to its loving public. Here is what was leaked from what sounds like a reputable source from Sony's R&D department.

Friends List:

• Voice Messaging is now available as an alternative to text after selecting a user on the friends list. Voice message recordings are capped at 30 seconds.
• Home Integration: Saved Playstation Home avatar photos can be selected as photo ID for Gamer Card/Friends List.
• Trophy number and Gamer Level are listed under Friend names for quick reference.
  

Gamer Card & Trophies:

• Gamer Card layout has been changed to more closely resemble the Playstation Store aesthetic.
• Past Trophy information can be viewed in detail by selecting "Recent Trophy History" option.
• Newly aquired trophies auto-sync in the background.
• Server infrastructure for Trophies has been optimized. Resulting in faster retrieval time for Gamer Card and Trophy information.
  

In-Game XMB:

• Loading time for In-Game XMB has been drastically reduced, resulting in a more seemless in-game experience.
• "Theme settings" options while in-game is now available, allowing custom themes to be applied to the In-Game XMB.
• Internet Browser can now be accessed while in-game.
• Voice messaging and voice chat options can be used while in-game.
• Options that cannot be used in the XMB during game sessions are grayed out (but still selectable) to eliminate user accessibility confusion.
  

Misc:

• Other slight UI tweaks and enhancements.
