This week we talk about the amazing games that have came out or are coming out in the next few days. We also give our thoughts on LittleBigPlanet and Motorstorm: Pacific Rift and what game we truly think deserves Game of The Year.

This week we talk about the long awaited Alan Wake and what the PS3 has in store for us this holiday plus MUCH MUCH MORE!!!

This week we talk about the new 360 update coming out this fall along with more of the latest news for the 360. We also go into PS3 news and talk about some recent betas. Plus MUCH MUCH MORE.

This week we talk about how the $199 Arcade 360 sales compare to the new $399 80gb PS3 along with our predictions on who will win this Holiday season. We also give our impressions on the Socom Beta which has just started.

Unfortunately there will not be an episode of Gamer Access this week due to some issues which I am very sorry about but will be sure to continue next week with Gamer Access Episode #2.

I have officially started the podcast for SonyPS3News.com. I recorded this podcast last night with my boy Joey so be sure to hit us up on the PSN. My PSN ID is Nick212004 and Joey’s is StreetVeteran. I am now working on expanding the fanbase of the podcast and news so this podcast is all about the latest and greatest news in the gaming industry and over the next upcoming weeks I will be working on creating a site for PS3 and 360 fans. Be sure to send any questions you want to be read  on the podcast to admin@sonyps3news.com and also leave us some feedback on what you liked and what we can improve in the podcast.

Enjoy!!!

UPDATE: It has been confirmed that Mirror’s Edge will not be a timed exclusive on the PS3.

Kotaku’s managing editor, Brian Crecente, states that he had several conversations with “well connected sources” at this years E3 — all of which believe that next years event will in fact be open to the public.

However, upon reaching out for an official comment from the ESA, he was given a very cookie cutter response, stating:

“The ESA is currently in the process of receiving feedback and will make an announcement about the 2009 E3 Media & Business Summit at an appropriate time.”

While it would be cool to get live reactions from gamers, in addition to our own hands-on impressions of the games, the biggest (albeit selfish) perk that I would look forward to, as a result of a policy change, would be a bigger/more impressive E3 experience.

Rock Band 2 is coming to the PS3 and Wii on November 17th, almost two months after the Xbox 360 release according a retailers.

Gamestop is listing the PS3, PS2, and Wii release dates for the game only and bundle as November 17th. The Xbox 360 will see the game only on September 30th and the bundle on October 30th. For the record, Guitar Hero: World Tour is shipping everything on October 26th.

Will this hurt Harmonix to not have any bundled releases out before Guitar Hero: World Tour ships? And will a month delay for all systems other than Xbox 360 hurt sales? Time will tell, but I’m expecting that they will lose a decent amount of Holiday 2008 customers to Guitar Hero. Either way, they’re still going to be out before Black Friday for all systems.
