Today only Amazon.com are selling Monster Cable Component Video and A/V Cable for PlayStation 3 (10 Feet) at $39.99, reduced from $59.99 with free shipping.

I’ve owned a couple of Monster cables in the past and I’ve found they are the only things that give you better picture quality than the official cables. If you have a really large TV you’ll probably notice a huge difference, otherwise, not so much.

Warhawk Logo

Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (SCEA) announced today the North American release of the highly anticipated title Warhawk™, available exclusively for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™). In Warhawk, players experience fast and dynamic multi-modal warfare, featuring white-knuckle aerial combat, armored vehicle assaults and frantic infantry combat in a massive war fought both in the skies and on the ground. In a first for the game industry, Warhawk is available to consumers both in retail stores on Blu-ray Disc™ (BD) and as a downloadable title via PLAYSTATION®Network.

An eagerly-awaited remake to the original PlayStation® hit of the same name, Warhawk was developed by Incognito Entertainment Inc., the acclaimed studio behind the Twisted Metal® franchise and cult-favorite War of the Monsters™. Warhawk is a multi-player only title, supporting up to 32 players battling at once for both online and offline play. Furthermore, Warhawk’s QuickSplit technology allows up to four players to battle simultaneously on a single PS3 – either online or offline - with the press of a button. Featuring various multiplayer gameplay modes such as Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and a new Zone Mode designed specifically for Warhawk, players can engage in strategic team play or fend for themselves against a barrage of enemies from around the globe. Offering a full online feature set, players can also join teams or maintain clans within the Warhawk online community. Full stats, rankings, leaderboards, badges and other awards are supported and reward players for success on the battlefield. Players can also stay organized online with user-friendly communication tools.

“Warhawk’s furious action-combat gameplay and brilliantly detailed landscapes demonstrate PS3’s many capabilities,” said Jeff Reese, Director, Software Marketing, SCEA. “Players will move seamlessly from the fierce aerial dogfights to the heated armed assaults and vehicular attacks on the ground. Warhawk is an exhilarating addition to the PS3 line-up this fall.”

Warhawk takes advantage of PS3’s immense processing power in a variety of unique ways. For example, the Cell Broadband Engine™ - the digital heart of PS3 - provides the player an enhanced visual scope by rendering long viewing distances when in flight mode, resulting in a level of feature density unmatched in the genre. Furthermore, unlike the traditional server model, Warhawk allows players to use PS3s in their homes as global servers to host online games. This helps ensure that along with the SCEA servers, players can access consumer-hosted, community servers that are available to players around the world.

Adding to the thrill of piloting the most advanced fighter in the fleet, players can opt to use the SIXAXIS™ wireless controller’s motion sensing technology to directly control their warhawk in flight, or “steer” their moving vehicle on land using the roll, pitch and yaw motion controls.

Warhawk is available for download directly from PLAYSTATION®Network for $39.99, and on BD through select retailers for $59.99. The retail version of Warhawk includes a Jabra Bluetooth® headset that comes in an exclusive piano black color and emphasizes the fun and strategic element of communication during gameplay. The BD version also includes bonus video content.

The independent Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rates Warhawk “T” for “Teen”. For more information about the ESRB, visit www.esrb.org.

As a PS3 owner I find many people asking me, “Why should I buy a PS3?” They talk about price, they talk about media formats, talk about exclusive games. Well that whole exclusive games things is about to go right out the window! After playing the DEMO of Heavenly Sword I was absolutely blown away. It is almost impossible to tell where the cut scenes end and where the game begins. The game controls are super cool and the fighting sequences are truly amazing! Honestly as a PS3 and Xbox 360 owner I feel very comfortable is saying that there is nothing that looks or plays like this on the Xbox 360 and certainly nothing on the Nintendo Wii.

Two things about the game that I am a little disappointed with are, first no multi player. Second a little bit of a disturbing trend in video games is this button sequence pressing during cut scenes. But this is not limited to just Heavenly Sword, I have seen this on many new games. With this being the next generation in gaming I was really hoping this would be replaced with real live action play, instead of this rhythm button pressing while watching a cut scene.

Watch for this game in September 2007, and by all means try out the demo!

Today only Amazon.com are selling Playstation 3 Blu Wave Remote for $9.99, reduced from $19.99 with free shipping if you add another $15.01 to your order.

Not much to say here, it controls your PS3 playback, but as one reviewer warns, it does not allow you to turn on and off your system.
