2 Days 2 Vegas: First Gameplay Video
PlayStation Universe got an exclusive with Steel Monkeys with the first gameplay video of their upcoming 2 Days 2 Vegas. Our opinion? It's looking pretty bad, and nothing like the screenshots we've seen a while back. But we need to remember that the game is still early in production, and this media was taken when the game was at 50% completion. It still has time to improve, lets just not hope it's a flop.

White 40GB PLAYSTATION 3 Coming to the US?
That white 40GB PLAYSTATION 3 that those lucky Japanese get may be seeing a US release. According to some updated photos presented to the FCC, Sony could be unleashing the white mammoth to the States.
The listing doesn't necessarily confirm the white PLAYSTATION 3's US release, but it's highly likely. Combine this with that January 28 price drop rumor and I think we have a winner.
