A Kotaku reader didn’t recently find PSN cards in a store. What he did find, however, was the spot where they would have been if they were available. Can’t be long now…

Ubisoft today announced the release date for Free Radical’s PlayStation 3 shooter, Haze - May 22, 2008. In the mean time, why not check out the demo currently available on the PlayStation Store, which supports four-player co-operative, or our gallery of Haze screenshots.
The first Devil May Cry was one of the standout titles in the action genre last generation, and while the inevitable sequels moved millions of units, they failed to better the original - and by the third game, Capcom had increased the difficulty to a level that turned away all but the most hardcore. Devil May Cry 4 shows a decided effort to cater for a wider audience - it’s the first game of the series to grace Microsoft hardware, and newcomers can select the Human difficulty level and a new Automatic mode to turn their button mashing into elaborate and deadly combos.
There’s a lot of people out there who have waited a long time to play a “proper” Gran Turismo on the PlayStation 3. The free Gran Turismo HD Concept was a gift welcomed by many, however with one track and ten cars, it was relatively short lived. With the full Gran Turismo 5 due in 2009, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is Polyphony Digital’s latest attempt to kill the hunger pains - and it’s another demo - this time, with a price tag.
I was well and truly stuck about a third of the way through the A Class races in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. When you’re starting in last place and playing catch up with an equally powerful car, making just one mistake means you’re toast - especially on a speedway-style circuit. I’d all but given up on the thought of beating the game until Logitech told me they were sending over a Driving Force GT.
It probably won’t come as a shock when I tell you that Gran Turismo 5 Prologue comes alive when it’s played with a force-feedback wheel. The jump between a Sixaxis and the Driving Force GT is of a similar magnitude to the jump between the 8-way digital joysticks of the 16-bit era and the dual-analogs of recent years. You can feel the car lose traction, and intuitively wrestle the back end into submission.
SCE Europe and SCE Australia have confirmed the release of a Grand Theft Auto IV PlayStation 3 bundle in Europe and Australia. The bundle includes a 40GB PlayStation 3, a Sixaxis, and a copy of the game. Pricing for the UK is GBP 320, versus AU$750 down-under, and €439 for Europe - no news for those of you in North America. Another pic after the jump.
Amazon’s deal of the day
Thanks to “extraordinary levels of traffic from all around the globe,” gamers in North America won’t be getting their hands on the Metal Gear Online beta as soon as they’d been promised.
