Midway has finally announced a European release date for the PS3 port of Unreal Tournament 3 - February 22, 2008. The game has already sold over 1.2 million copies, and we suspect it’ll move a few more once it hits the PAL territories. No word on an Australian release date.
Sony has finally announced the PAL release of Riff: Everyday Shooter - not via press release, but during a nice chat with Eurogamer. The price comes in at £4.99, with no Australian price revealed - but last time something cost £4.99, Australians paid $12.95.

On March 6, Japan gets their third PlayStation 3 color - Silver Satin. Available for ¥39,980 (approx. US$375) in any capacity you want, as long as it’s 40GB. Matching DualShock 3 controllers will be available for ¥5,500 (approx. US$50).
Time to let your hair out and start rocking hard because Activision have just released three new classic rock songs for Guitar Hero III download. The tracks on offer are Foreigner’s “Juke Box Hero,” Journey’s “Any Way You Want It” and Boston’s “Peace of Mind“. I’m sure it’s pretty safe to say that Any Way You Want It will be blaring from dorm rooms for some months. The Pack is going for the usual Xbox Live for 500 points, or US$6.25.

The hour is upon us… well not quite, but at least we know the date when the hour will be upon us. That’s right people: Grand Theft Auto IV had been dated to be released April 29th. The reason the game is taking so long is all thanks to the PS3, as Rockstar’s Jeronimo Barrera pointed out in an MTV interview:
“It’s really no surprise to anybody that the PS3 was definitely a contributing factor to [the delay].”
Thankfully now the progress on both systems are “neck and neck”, and the experience on 360 and PS3 has been quoted as “identical”.

Good news for those in the US, the Ceramic White PS3 we reported on in October is making the jump across the Pacific. In fact it’s doubly good news, as the Ceramic White PS3 includes a DualShock 3, meaning that DualShock 3’s are likely to hit shelves at around the same time. So far we don’t have any dates, as all that tipped us off was FCC approval.

The annoying thing about rumors is that no matter how speculative they sound, they always manage to pique your interest. According to a gamer’s friend’s uncle who was at SCEJ (see what I mean?) there may be a gesture-recognition system built into Sony’s upcoming XMB.
Wading through this semi-literate post on JoystickRadio, I was able to ascertain that through using the Playstation Eye, the XMB will allow you to browse through your friends list, music, movies and games using some hand movements.
