UPDATED: PSN experiences blackout

For the past couple hours, Sony’s PlayStation Network has been bombarding users with ‘8001050F’ error codes. This error not only locks users out of the PSN, but it also corrupts trophy data and paid DLC content. These things, when combined, cause certain games to lock up.

Modern Warfare 2’s ‘Ice Skating’ glitch to be patched in Infinity Ward’s next playlist update

A New Year brings new Modern Warfare 2 glitches. This game probably has more bugs in it than an overpopulated Influenza concentration camp.
The latest online multiplayer hindrance is the ‘ice skate’ manoeuvre, the ability to move almost five times faster than normal (and no, we are not about to tell you how to do it!). Thankfully [...]

Next Firmware Update to introduce Facebook and coloured Gamercards

Bowling tweets Modern Warfare 2 Leaderboard Reset before Release

Many CoD-ers have been expressing fears that when they receive their copy of Modern Warfare 2 in eight days time they will be obliterated in online multiplayer, by those lucky enough to have nabbed an early copy of the game and unlocked many of the perks and attachments – if not all of them.

A Personal Invitation to all PS3Vault.com Readers

Last night I, csreynolds, carried out an exhausting (but necessary) clean-up exercise in order to reduce the size of my heaving friends list. To my delight, I was triumphant, and I now have plenty of room to make some new online acquaintances on the PlayStation Network.
Looking back over past posts, many of you have proven [...]

PS3 is Probably More Popular Than You Think

Strolling (metaphorically, of course) around the internet will probably give you the wrong impression of anything, when you think about it. It pretty much depends where you’re strolling – if you happen upon RaptureReady and for some reason – I don’t know, maybe you’re writing an article on a PS3 news site and need a [...]

LittleBigPlanet – A User Generated Experience like no other

I’ve been spending quite a bit of time with the LittleBigPlanet beta, and I think it’s safe to say that this is going to be something totally new.  Certainly, we’ve seen user generated levels before – but this is perhaps the first time that has been in a game that is also extremely cute, fun, [...]
