Here’s our weekly PlayStation Store update. Wow, these lists are getting long. If I had the money and time, I’d be buying the Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic game. It’d be nice to have a demo of it to play around with first while I free up my resources. I will be downloading the Sega Collection today and probably some of the videos.

It’s so nice to be able to now backup purchased videos on an external media. Let’s me put off buying an expanded hard drive.

For now.

New Releases for 4.9.2009:

UGC? UCC? PCC? We need some sort of snappy acronym for user generated content. Internet, get on it.

MySoti is bringing the first content created by users to PlayStation Home in the form of user designed T-shirts. MySoti is a community driven online T-shirt store, where users can upload their own designs to sell to others, so offering the same type of stuff to users in Home isn’t too much of a stretch.

Not only will a few lucky MySoti designers get to make their marks in Home, they will also receive a portion of the profits generated from their shirt sales.

Sadly, according to MySoti’s website, these shirts are only going to be on the SCEE (Europe, Africa, Middle East) Home servers. So far. There’s still time for the US and Canada to get in on something like this too.

There’s gamers and there’s people who play games and those don’t necessarily refer to the same thing. Gamers not only play games, they live games, read gaming news, seek out other gamers; it’s more of a lifestyle rather than a hobby.

I am a gamer, so it was exciting to hear that Sony was making it easier and easier to integrate games with my life. Two years ago, at E3 2007, Phil Harrison revealed the crude beginnings of a social networking site designed around Home and the PlayStation Network.  We haven’t heard anything about that site since, but it may not be too far off.

From Joystiq:

The MI6 Games Marketing Summit is going on right now… During a panel titled “Casual to the Core: Redefining the Gaming Dynamic,” SCEA’s John Koller talked about social media and how it can affect the games space. When asked by panel moderator John Davison if there would ever be a point when someone could be playing PS3 and have it “spit out something to Facebook,” Koller stated that plans are already afoot. He said that such functionality is “critical not just for marketing but for the types of games we’re trying to develop. That day is coming quicker than some may think.”

That sounds like gaming that goes beyond the living room. It’s going to be neat seeing what type of games exactly Koller was talking about that will surround us with gaming. Perhaps even more involved versions of the Xi ARG?
