I remember reading somewhere that Uncharted gets trophies in the U.S. on the 22nd…. hope this helps. Perhaps closer to the time when it comes out on Greatest Hits, as I believe it’s already on Platinum in Europe.
@Jeff
I know this is sort of off topic, but this seems as good a place as any to post stuff, since you seem to do a pretty good job on answering our comments.
Yesterday, I was fiddling around with creating icons for my videos, and it seemed to me that a way to improve this feature even more would be to let you use the cover picture of the folder as a wallpaper by converting it into an actual photo. To a greater extent, though I’m not sure how easy it would be is to use the 15 second clip (or any other timeframe up to the whole video possibly) as a background for your XMB.
While it’s great to get big improvements like in Game XMB or BD Live, adding small new interesting features can help give a feeling of a more complete system. Along this line, other “little” things to add include custom arrangement of all files (games, videos, photos) within a particular folder or of all files, retaining music album info when transferring from a computer, and correcting the GMT for Caracas Venezuela.
Since the PS3 & PSP use the Netfront browser, could you guys add the Netfront Widget capability they just added for PocketPC devices?

I see how it is…all the love for PS3fanboy but nothing for PSU.com. Does anyone from Sony read PSU.com?
@Theinfected, not fair? Feel for once what the Europeans have to feel for more than a decade!

Jeff you did miss one thing that is good for all of us Gran Turismo 5 fans…. A wireless steering wheel by Logitech for the PS3. http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/logitech-introduces-ps3-driving-force-wireless-steering-wheel/

You know we have Penny Arcade some to the PSN.. that should be different.. It’s a turn-based RPG
I meant Penny Arcade is coming to the PSN… lol
Well the US should have their patches now, was just a waiting of several hours longer, due to time difference. Of course, why I didn’t think of that :-P
TheOssie, Penny Arcade? That title must have slipped my mind.
