Believe it or not, but PS3 just turned three years old. To celebrate, PS2 is officially launching in Brazil. What's even more interesting is the price. Believe it or not.
As you may recall, about the time PS3 Slim launched, PS3's in general had a 100$ (USD) price cut. Meaning the price dropped from 399$ down to 299$.
The thing is, somehow, Sony thought a reasonable PS2 price would be 450$. That's 150$ more then the original PS3 price.
Now, even though there obviously is no PS3 support there either, there apparently are some older PS3 games on sale at the very generous price of 115$.
New day, new rumor. According to this one, Sony is in the works of making an agreement with Mozilla. It seems as Sony wants to upgrade the built in browser to a new and fresh FireFox one.
This rumor, like any other Playstation rumor, started by an insider who claims to have recieved tip-off from a source very near Sony.
According to him, it's nothing but words so far. But what do you know? The PS3 slim also started out as a rumor from a tip-off leaked by a Playstation insider.
Hopefully, this is another of those rumors, that actually comes true.
FireFox in the PlayStation 3 might end up giving the users more customization ability and plugin features.
Currently, it's unclear if the deal got closed or not, but either way it shouldn't be too long before we find out.

When you purchase the collection, you'll receive a voucher to download the demo off of the PlayStation Network. The demo is that of which was first featured at this year's E3 expo, then also at Comic-Con and PAX; giving you a chance to experience a piece of God of War III before its March 2010 release.
As already reported, God of War Collection features God of War and God of War II from the PS2 in 720p resolution, 60 frames per second, and with an all new set of trophies for each game; all on one Blu-ray disc and is set to release sometime this November.
