Summer is approaching and is the time to go outside and get a tan in the blistering heat. A time to go to the beach, go out for a few nice pints in the sun, play footy in preparation for this year’s World Cup, generally enjoy the wonderful season that is blessed upon us this time of year. However, the reality of the situation is that there is no sun. It’s a myth in my country, it appears 4 times a year and when it does it’s usually just for about an hour and is framed by rain. Sometimes, you get a real sarcastic day which has sun and rain at the exact same time.

Luckily, games don’t care what the weather is like. The summer season is here for new releases and your console will give you all the entertainment you need while the rain pelts down outside.

For new arrivals to gaming on the PS3, the store is like a multimedia centre where you join and can surf your way through the content the network is offering. It’s completely free to register and you can surf the web, download content and keep in touch with family and friends. Some things you will need to pay for, such as full games. Currently the type of content available ranges over

  • Games
  • Expansion Packs
  • Additional Content
  • Demos
  • Guides
  • Movies
  • TV Shows
  • Comics

There should be enough there to keep you busy and preventing you looking out the window on those grey days.

Sony are also currently running a competition in the UK where you can win a PS3, a copy of Dead to Rights: Retrubition and some other goodies including a Dead to Rights shirt and some Alpinestars shoes which can make you run at over 100mph. This is handy because it means you can get outside faster and make the most of the 23 seconds of sun per day. And for those that already have a PS3 and a pair of shoes can avail of some of the other great offers going. Currently Red Dead Redemption, Blur, Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands are available to download or buy online.

PSP have some similar offers including a handy PSP 6.20 software update for the micro console. Improvements include new import options for photos and videos, a redesigned menu bar which is easier to navigate and new features to the Playstation Store.

There are upcoming events in June as well on the PSN network, concerned with ModNation Racers. For those that don’t know, ModNation Racers is a little like Little Big Planet with go karts, giving players the opportunity to create characters, cars and entire tracks in a way that will keep the creative side of your mind active.

Don’t let the lack of summer get you down. Make the most of the sun when it’s here and when you’re stuck inside, don’t worry. Sony is here to keep you smiling.
