Killzone 3 Officially Revealed

Today official Killzone 3 news has hit the web. The details confirm most of the leaked info in yesterday's post along with some new images. No new details are talked about that are worth mentioning but I certainly recommend checking out IGN's Hands On report of the game, as an interesting read.

A debut trailer for the game may even be shown by Sony before E3 according to some reports, either way E3 is only 22 days away.

Rumours: Premium PSN, XMB Re-Design?

Today in question are two rumours concerning what Sony may announce at E3.

First up is a rumour that has been circulating the Internet for years, Premium PSN. The latest rumour suggests that Sony will introduce a yearly premium Playstation Newtork service that will include features such as a music streaming service that allows you to listen to music while playing games. The rumor also states users will be able to download a PSN game for free per month. The annual price for this premium service is estimated at under £50.

The next rumour is that a new XMB is going to revealed at E3. Sony have stated that they will not get rid of the XMB, especially as it features across the Sony franchise in TVs, Laptops, the PSP etc. So I don't think we will see an entirely new interface but rather a Re-design of the XMB to make navigation easier, better in game functionality and to add more features. The XMB has seen many updates since the PS3's launch and i expect this to be just that an update. Could it be the long awaited cross game voice chat? Only time will tell.
