SOE let slip in an interview that gamers of the upcoming game The Agency can expect micro-transactions and in-game ads instead of monthly payment schemes. Though not 100% certain that it will swing this way, it looks that this is the best option for SOE to enter the market in the current state.

We’re acutely aware that shooter players are not used to playing monthly fees, so I doubt we’ll go for an outright $15 a month, which works on some of our other projects.”

“So we’re checking out Free Realms to see how they’re going to do with their micro-transactions, and we might incorporate some of that. We’ll definitely have some ad revenue models. The Agency’s the perfect place for some in-game product placement

You all know how we like limited editions well Resident Evil 5 is the latest to get a limited edition (in Japan that is).

Not only do they get this package which includes

• A 2GB USB drive modeled after the TRICELL vaccine as seen in RE5
• A 32-page hardcover art book
• A BSAA carrying pack, as worn by Chris Redfield

But the release date of the game has also been pushed forward in Japan. Where it was first said to hit the street on March 12th, it will now start wandering them from March 5th.

To pre-order the special kit you will need to visit e-Capcom store as it’s the only place where you can get it.

If you manage to get one of these editions it will costs you ¥12,800 or more if you try and import it.

Gamers from Europe and North America can still expect the game on the usual release date which is March 13th.

It sounds weird, but Sony is coming out with a similar idea as the XNA only giving it an own twist. Northwest Vision and Media have set up a project named ‘Get in the Game’ which will offer five developers the change to receive GBP 10,000 to prototype new content for the PlayStation Network.

At a workshop in December visitors will be able to bring their idea’s to a panel of Sony execs and producers. Then five of those will be given 10,000 pounds to bring their idea to live in the first three months of 2009.

These prototypes will then be shown to SCEE who will decide if they will bring any of them into production in effort to support the games industry in the Northwest region of Great Britain.

Famitsu informed their readers that Tenchu 4 will also be out on the PSP. After being released on the Wii Rikimaru and Ayame will sneak onto your PSP.

SCEE was quicker then SCEA on the forum integration with the PSN. But then overtaken again with the homepage integration. From today you’ll able to display your own gamercard from EU side (rather then state side)

The SCEE version of the gamer card will look like this.

Upon logging in on the secure website of eu.playstation.com you will be prompted to merge your website account with your PSN account. Making everything one whole.

At the moment the favourite game list is very very limited to only 6 games which include one game that was just released and one that was pushed back. You also have the ability to set a mood.

A few good things are that you are able to see you friends list from the page and an events calendar.

Go take a look for yourself if you life in europe.
