Until now, XTREME PS3 was using a custom CMS I wrote a few years ago (it was originally written for XTREME PSP). Over the past two years, I’ve had very little time to make changes to the CMS and add new features so we’ve decided to move over to a better supported platform – hence the change to WordPress. What you are now looking at is the new version of XTREME PS3. We’ve moved over most of the content from the old CMS except for the Wallpaper Gallery.
The layout is a lot different to what we had, so please take some time to look around to familiarize yourself with everything. If you were a member of the old website, you will be able to login with your old details. If you are new, you can register using the registration form or using Facebook Connect. Any comments or suggestions on the new layout is much appreciated.

Ghostbusters fansite Proton Charging reports that PS3 users will be getting some Ghostbusters-themed content on PlayStation Home. The official press release isn’t out yet, but Sony has apparently confirmed it. The content will range from Ghostbusters jumpsuits for Home avatars to an Ecto-1 that can actually be driven around. The content will also include "a firehall space, some sort of flying Slimer gizmo, movies, and virtual memorabilia".
No launch dates yet, but it would most likely go live around the Ghostbusters game’s June release in North America and Europe. We expect a press release on the exact content soon.
