Yesterday, many websites reported that Sony reduced the number of consoles you can use your PSN-purchased games on from five to three. This was incorrectly reported, and was only a typo on Sony’s part. Content you purchase from the Store can be used on up to five PS3 consoles or PSPs (depends on compatibility). Some titles do still have restrictions, but these are clearly stated on the product information page.
This Friday, Naughty Dog will be releasing the first downloadable content for Uncharted 2‘s multiplayer mode.

Remember the PSPgo exploit we reported on a while back (see here and here)? Unfortunately, the exploit has now been patched in the latest Firmware update from Sony.
