PSP Minis will soon be playable on PS3?

I would not be too surprised if most other PSP gamers found the 'PSP Minis' on the PSN to be a bit pricey just like I do and considering they are only playable on the PSP, does not make them top priority among PSN shoppers especially when you could just buy a PSone Classic or UMD Legacy title in their place. But what if they could also be played on your Playstation 3?

According to various sources that spoke with Joystiq, Sony may be in the process of exploring ways to expand the number of players who buy and play the 'Minis' by making them also available on the PS3. This change (according to the sources) will also be taking place very soon, even possibly before Christmas.

Furthermore, you will be able to play all existing and presumably all future releases as well in a higher resolution on the PS3 giving you a little more added incentive to purchase them.

However, it is unknown at this point whether the 'Minis' can be bought once and played on both systems like the PSone Classics are, or if you would need to purchase them individually for each platform.

It would be a really terrible idea on Sony's part if they decided to do this and charge us more, but I suppose only time will tell.

Massive PSN update this week!

The regular Playstation Network update will not only be arriving two days early this week, but it will also be a massive one featuring tons of new games and other goodies to quench your thirst for content. Below is a list of the games and other content that will be released in the new update, including a PSone game that is one of my favorites of all time.

This is a list of all the PSP content. Little Big Planet PSP and Tekken 6 will be arriving and both will set you back $39.99. Six PSP Minis will also be arriving including: Fortix ($4.99), Pinball Fantasies ($6.99), Blast Off ($2.99), Bloons ($3.99), Kahoots ($4.49), and Let's Golf ($6.99).

The PSone catalogue will also be updating with new games including: Command & Conquer, Dino Crisis, Reel Fishing, Fighting Force, Backstreet Billiards, and International Track & Field.

For the PS3 only, there's a sale on many titles running from now through next Wednesday, December 2. Dropping from $9.99 to $4.99 are Flower, The Last Guy, Prince of Persia Classic, Comet Crash (not to be confused with the newly released Gravity Crash, both of which also have demos available), and Bomberman Ultra.

And dropping in price from $14.99 to $7.49 is Smash Cars and Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao. There's also the sale on the Killzone 2 DLC to celebrate the franchise's five year anniversary, a temporary price drop on Fate Unlimited Codes to $14.99, and the Uncharted 2 Eye of Indra 2 motion comic for just $0.99.

Other new releases include Madden NFL Arcade ($14.99), Diner Dash ($9.99), Gravity Crash ($9.99), and the new Borderlands DLC ($9.99).

That isn't even all of it so if you have the cash to fork over for all this stuff, be sure to pick it up and if you can only afford a few, be sure to pick up Dino-Crisis, especially if you're a fan of survival-horror!

Dante's Inferno demo coming in December

For those of us awaiting Dante's descent into the dark inferno to wage war against Death itself, EA will be kind enough to give a peek at what to expect from this upcoming title.

The demo for Dante's Inferno will launch across both the Playstation Network and the Xbox Marketplace in December, the perfect way to warm ourselves during those harsh winter nights.

The demo is entitled "Gates of Hell" and will include the entire opening level of the game which will lead up to a battle with Death himself.
