Although its the US PlayStation site, a UK PSN account also works
Its getting there, hopefully in the next update it will be possible to access this info and make it possible to create auto up-datable gamercards. Make it so.
Back in May last year it was annouced over at the YouTube API Dev blog, that the PS3 was due to receive an update to integrate the YouTube API’s. This update allows game developers to create games that enable direct upload of in-game video captures to YouTube, not only into new PS3 game titles, but also existing PS3 titles that have the ability to receive network updates.
Mainichi Issho was the first game to incorporate this, and Noby Noby Boy released last week via the PlayStation Store, has also included this functionality. Capturing footage is straight forward, anytime in-game simply press and hold the Square button, select the video format (in this case YouTube) and your away. Once you decide to finish recording press and hold the Square button once again to stop recording. Providing you have entered your YouTube credentials via the in-game menu (and accepted a 16 page usage agreement) the upload to YouTube will begin.
Here’s a couple I made earlier:
To be honest, I have no idea whats going on Noby Noby Boy (or Nobi Nobi Boy) but its quite good fun. Its only about 3 quid as well, so if you can sacrifice a pint, give this a go, even if its a distraction whilst downloading demos etc from the PlayStation store.
Noby Noby Boy is out today. What a name for a game. Check out this video, no idea WTF is going on, but if that doesn’t make you smile, I don’t know what will
I can remember the days when being a PAL gamer and wanting to play NTSC imports was all about various bridge adapters/converters, and filing down tabs on cartridge slots…
My faithful Megadrive “Game Adapter” used for many an import. No idea where my SNES Action Replay, or Super FX chip converter is though these days
Those days are long gone though. DS, PSP and PS3 titles don’t carry any region protection, and many 360 titles are actually region free.
Its worth considering importing the odd 360 title as it can work out considerably cheaper. For example, the Asian version of Soul Calibur IV is region free, and at Play-Asia its only 25 quid. Bargain.
Another place to keep an eye on is the blog over at Videogamesplus (who run an excellent online store) They normally run a region free check on 360 titles as they get stock in, so its very up to date.
