Where can I rent Rock Band instruments for PS3?
details
My cousin was asking if I knew a place that rented out the instruments for Rock Band. Renting/borrowing the game itself is easy enough, but are there any places that will rent you the guitars and drums for an evening?

(I feel like this is something that video rental stores would/could have done, if so many of them hadn't been driven out of business by Netflix and Gamefly. Guess there is still a purpose to in-store rental...)

Details about the next Playstation are leaking out and they're not looking good.
details
Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5896996/the-next-playstation-is... wrote a post yesterday detailing information they received about the next console from Sony codenamed Orbis. This looks like it's going to be the successor to the PlayStation 3 and it very well may keep the Orbis name.
The plus side of what has come from this is that it looks like spec wise the Orbis... Read more →

Price of the Next Generation of Video Games
details
Talk of the next generation of home consoles is starting to appear on nearly every video game website. It got me thinking about what the price will be per game. With every generation, the prices of games have increased by $10.
Now I don't know about everyone out there, but $59.99 is my limit and the game has to amazing for me to even consider purchasing it at that price. I do most of my shopping on Amazon.com and I wait for their video game sales.
Yet I can't say that I feel confident that games...

Xbox 360 hits 55 million units
details
Microsoft announced that the Xbox 360 has hit 55 million units sold, and that its sales are accelerating not only disproportionately to its competition, but to any console ever at this period in its lifecycle. The Xbox team released a super interesting normalized sales graph that tracks sales progress from launch through year nine of the last few console generations: http://static.flickr.com/5062/5793291459_447e283c3... The interesting trends I'm seeing here: the Wii, as we know, has flamed... Read more →

The Sony / PSN 'external intrusion' news keeps getting worse.
details
According to the latest from Joystiq: "Here's what's in the definitely jacked column: "name, address (city, state, zip), country, email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login, and handle/PSN online ID." Our takeaway: you'd better start changing passwords if you use the same one frequently. We'll leave the decision on whether or not to pack your bags and move away up to you. In the possibly jacked column: "profile data,... Read more →

Sony now allowing saving to the cloud for PSN Plus subscribers.
details
Alright, this is something that has been a long time coming -- saving your games in the cloud! This is especially helpful, considering if the HDD in your PS3 decides to die, you're basically screwed (unless you've been meticulous about backing up your saves). Hey, it happens: http://gdgt.com/discuss/anyone-pulled-hd-out-ps3-r... Anyway, it looks like they are only rolling out this feature to PSN Plus subscribers. On one hand, I can understand it -- they need to recoup... Read more →

Sony just lost a customer and a fan.
details
Look like Sony is escalating its war against all things related to George "GeoHot" Hotz, who published Sony's encryption key for the PlayStation 3. Last week, they won a decision to acquire the IP addresses of anyone who visited GeoHot's website or viewed his YouTube videos between January 2009 and March 4th, 2011. The purpose of collecting IP addresses is to determine where many of the downloads originated and whether or not they can try the case in a California court, as... Read more →

i never use it and it's no guessing why. the ps3's web browser is the worst browser i've ever used.

(sometimes i get lazy and don't feel like going to my computer, hence the ONLY reason i attempt to use this p.o.s.) i feel as though there's some hidden option that i'm not selecting or something for the reason why it's so bad. a simple task like facebook, which mind you is on the home page of the internet when you log onto the browser is complete anus! i put my username and password in and i get the logo, icons at the top of the page and A WHITE SCREEN. i thought it could...

Three things I love about the PS3 that have nothing to do with games:
details
1. The XMB. It is a much cleaner and easier way to navigate. Now, once you get into the Playstation Store it is a mess just like Xbox Live. But, the XMB is where you will spend most of your time. 2. Using an old laptop as a "media server" and streaming video to the PS3 using PS3 Media Server. So far this has worked very well with my Mac and PC. And has stifled my thoughts of getting a Boxee or Apple TV. 3. Being able to control the PS3 using my TV remote. Now, this is probably only... Read more →

So I love my ps3 but one thing has bothered me a bit lately it seems like every time I get a new game my ps3 tells me it must download an update for that game…
details
before I can play. I like the idea that developers can make fixes to a game after it ships but come on every game? A lot of the updates are not small eather the last thing you want to do when you get a new game home is wait 30 min for it to update before you can play.
