If you downloaded the new Burnout Paradise demo from the PLAYSTATION Store, you may have noticed a hint of SSX's next coming in Paradise City.
Listening to Crash FM radio in your car from Radio Big, SSX3's DJ Atomika hosts. She mentions getting a message from Mac Fraser, one of the playable characters of SSX3. His message? That the snow on the mountain is falling and should be ready to ride by winter.
If you ask me, that highly suggests a new SSX is coming to consoles. Oh, why the wait?

In a new FAQ posted on the official Unreal Tournament III forums, they answer a few questions of the users. One regards split-screen co-op.
Q: I want splitscreen!So fear not my friends who would like your screens split. Hopefully Epic is at work on this as we speak.
A: We're aware that some of our customers wanted splitscreen for the PS3 version of UT3. We hear you and will evaluate the feature for possible future updates to UT3.

Well, not every game is released without a few glitches, no? Unreal Tournament III comes with a few glitches as well. Let's take a look.
Mark Rein on voice chat problems:
"I had similar problems with voice chat today as well. I heard someone talking in one game but a friend and I tried to chat and we couldn't hear each other. I've passed it along to the dev team to look into. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Mark Rein on finding lag-free, low-ping, games:
"I've had some amazing online games today on the PS3. When you get the server browser up you want to scroll to the servers with the lowest ping (number in the far right hand column). [...] They are listed in reverse order (doh!)"
Josh Adams on mods:
These glitches aren't much of a big deal, and should be fixed soon. Thats what happens when the game was supposed to come out in early 2008."Hmm, sorry about the dead page. I'll get that looked into.
However, the PS3 mod tools aren't quite ready yet. We are working through some final legal/release issues.
When it's ready, you will need to download the latest PC patch and another PS3 Mod Tools "patch" that adds the full PS3 mod support to the PC version.
You will have to cook your mods for the PS3 specifically. You will also need removable media (memory card, USB drive, etc) to transfer the mod from your PC to your PS3. We will have the tools ready ASAP!!"

According to people who got the book "CLOUD" early, the Final Fantasy XIII trailer is the old one that has the blonde man showed up for a split second and no footage of the new girl at all.
As for Final Fantasy Versus XIII, it's the extended trailer with the added battle scenes but none of the new characters showed up, not even the robed person. But apparently there some new minor changes to the trailer, like a TV in the main character's car and no radio news this time.

A post we had yesterday may have got many people sad due to the fact that it stated Star Ocean IV was heading to the Xbox 360 as well. Fear not, as we update you today telling you that this information is fake. That also means there is probably no Bomberman heading to the PLAYSTATION Network as well.
The story was apparently a joke amongst GAFfers. Real Famitsu news is expected to be out later tonight. We will keep you updated.
