This week, a new “Inspired by Video Games” section has been added to the US Video Store, featuring movies and TV shows that first dazzled the video game world before they lit up the big and small screens. Now, you can download all the action, stunning visuals and spectacular sequences, brought to you by PlayStation Network. As for regular content, there are loads of new movies and TV shows now available to download (check out the list below).
If you are planning to upgrade to the PSP Go! this October, you’re probably wondering what will become of all those UMD games you’ve purchased over the years. Although the UMD format will continue, you won’t be able to use them on the PSP Go! unless you have digital copies of the game. Its looks like Sony has already come up with a solution. According to John Koller, “We’re in the midst of putting together a good will program. […] So we’re looking at a short term good-will program that would continue for years afterward.”
This week’s regular PlayStation Store update in now live. Final Fantasy VII is now available on the European PlayStation Store and the second special episode of Pulse is available to download from the US Store. Both stores have received new downloadable games and playable demos. As there were two other PlayStation Store updates this week, the usual weekly update is much smaller than normal – check out the complete list of new content below.
After an initial delay, the latest patch for Killzone is now available to download. Guerrilla Games has released their 9th patch for their best-selling shooter, Killzone 2.

PlayStation Home is about to get a whole lot better. Photo sharing, the first feature to support user-generated content, is finally coming to PlayStation Home starting today. You will have to purchase a photo frame from the Shopping Mall, but you can then upload photos from your hard drive or select from a gallery of default pictures, and then display them in your personal apartments. Now you can really customize your home in a unique way.
Final Fantasy VII was made available on the US PlayStation Store earlier this week after Sony’s E3 Press Conference. PAL gamers will be glad to hear that Final Fantasy VII will be made available on the European PlayStation Store as part of today’s weekly PlayStation Store update. There were no details on pricing but we speculate that it will cost between £5.99 – £7.99 based on the US PlayStation Store price of $9.99.

The press release for the PSP Go! was released yesterday during Sony’s E3 Press Conference, after an official announcement was made. However, the press release includes some features of the new PSP Go! that were not announced at the conference. In short, the BlueTooth feature on the PSP Go will allow you to pair a DualShock 3 controller to play games (though the rumble feature will not be supported). Also, in-game XMB will be supported (possibly through a firmware update) and there was mention of a calendar and clock application.
