V.A.T.S. Spotting
If you’re heading into seemingly-hostile territory or simply want to survey the area around you for enemies you might not yet see, try hitting the VATS button over and over again as you make your character turn around, searching all angles. Doing so will alert you to any enemies you may not yet see by zooming in on them in VATS mode. You’ll realistically be unable to do damage to your foes from such a distance, but it’s a good way to spot foes before they spot you so you know what you’re getting yourself into before the crap hits the fan.

Infinite Experience in Big Town

Here’s a glitch that will allow you to get infinite amounts of experience (as long as your Speech skill is high enough). Try the following steps:

* 1.) – Go to Big Town and find the NPC named Pappy.
* 2.) – Select the dialogue choice “You came here with Bittercup, right?” If this dialogue choice doesn’t show up, find Bittercup, exhaust all of her conversation chains, and then try speaking with Pappy again. ([Speech 100%] should appear next to the dialogue choice if your Speech skill is at its highest. If it’s not there yet, don’t risk trying to convince him. Speech failure will result in this glitch permanently disappearing.)
* 3.) – Selecting that dialogue option successfully will net you six experience points. Speak to him again and you can get the experience again. Repeat as much as you want for as much experience as you want.

According to a Wal-Mart data sheet, Sony is probably going to update its 40GB Playstation 3 series with a new model in August. No further detail about the plan has been revealed thought. Or whether it is true or just a rumor. However, if its true, the new version should come with larger storage or additional features. Let’s wait for the news in the next couple weeks.

Yesterday Sony announced the new color variant of its Playstation 3 gaming console, the “Satin Silver”. Priced at €255 (39,800 Yen, $371), this silver PS3 will come with a 40GB of HDD and will be packed with all the features from the standard 40GB PS3 version. If interested, you can check out your nearby store on March 6. Don’t forget to bring an extra 5,500 Yen (about $51), because that would get you a brand new Silver DualShock3 controller as well.

But wait! If you want both the silver console and controller, what about a “Silver Playstation 3 Yakuza 3 Bundle”? For 47,040 Yen (or $441), you’d receive a package of silver satin’s PS3, silver-colored DS3 controller, Sega’s Yakuza 3 game, and a PS3’s Yakuza 3-themed sticker. Not a bad deal, knowing that Yakuza is an excellent title.

Sony has just released “PS3 Best Collection”, a set of five Playstation 3’s games which will hit the Japan store next month — March 19 to be precise — with a price tag of 24 EUR in average (about 3,800 Yen). Each package will contain Ninja Gaiden Σ, FolksSoul, Resistance, Ridge Racer 7, and Mobile Suit Gundam: Target in Sight. I haven’t bought PS3 yet, but I’ve heard that both Resistance and FolksSoul are awesome.

Dante is back! Don’t know Dante? Come on, you’ve never played any Devil May Cry games before? Well, he’s the main character on Devil May Cry, and this year, this wonderful saga continues with Devil May Cry 4 (trailer), featuring a new level with a deeper story, character development, an extension of fighting styles, as well as a new character with never-seen-before fighting attributes, Nero. To celebrate it, Sony and Capcom (the developer) offers an exclusive pack of Playstation 3 which include the original Devil May Cry 4.

Have you ever played Hot Shots Golf? It’s one of the most enjoyable golf game you can find for Playstation. Well, Sony, hoping to boost the sales of Playstation 3, now offers a new bundled for its latest gaming console that doesn’t sell quite well. If you spend $315 (about €375), you can get PS3 with 20GB HDD plus Mina No Golf (the Japan edition of Hot Shots Golf) game. I’ve never played the PS3 edition of the game, but I bet it’d be much better than the PS2 version.

PS: If you own Wii, get Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 instead.
