Batman demo on the Network this week

BATMAN fans, be prepared - The Playstation Network will be receiving the BATMAN: Arkham Asylum demo this week, as Eidos has announced.
Users will be able to take control of the Dark Knight as he brings The Joker to justice. As users investigate Arkham Asylum, they will also be able look at criminal files and occassionally go bat-crazy on some crazed inmates as The Joker eventually break free and causes havok and chaos within Arkham Asylum.
This game looks really cool from the videos of the gameplay I have seen - let's hope it plays just as good.

Wish list for the Playstation.....

SO, what do you want to see turn up on the PS3?
What do you think it is missing? What is Microsoft doing better with the Xbox 360 that Sony needs to emulate? I've been having a think about it, and here's my list :
* In-game chat settings, so I can actually join a friend already in a game and chat privately while playing; the 360 has done this from the start, so why can't we?
* Playstation Network demos; again, I hate to refer to Microsoft, but on Xbox Live you can download demos of their games to decide if it is worth buying, but Sony don't offer this with their online game purchases - sort it out!
* Allow PlayStation Home to boot from startup - most people cannot be bothered to boot up their PS3, find Home and then load that up, so why not just give us the option of booting straight in?
* Downloadable movies and TV shows - what more do I need to say? America has it, why hasn't the UK? IT would be great for Sony revenue!
If you have any ideas, feel free to post them here.

Is Home on its way??

The word is out - Sony's online Home community appears to be set for a release in October - finally!!
It has been let slip that the 2.50 firmware update on the PS3 is due sometime next month, and one of the Home development team have let slip that the Home network should form part of it.
This would also tie in with the fact that the much-anticipated and highly hyped game Little Big Planet - probably THE most important online game to hit the PS3 since it was launched - will also hit the shelves in October.
The game is believed to have a strong tie-in with Home, so with all these bits of information tying up together, hopefully we will be right at Home on the PS3 in the next few weeks - fingers crossed!
