It’s a good month for Neo Geo fans, with 10 Neo Geo classics hitting the PS3 and PSP complete with online multiplayer. And now SNK is releasing an updated version of the classic Neo Geo gamepad.

The gamepad is for the PS3 of course, with USB connectivity and a PS button in the middle. We wish it was available here in the US, but sadly this is only getting a release in Japan for 3,129 yen (about $37). Still, you can get one imported if you really want one for $45.

PlayStation Plus members can now enjoy the DC Universe Online beta on their PS3, but first you will have to take care of the 15GB download. The PlayStation Store has been updated to include the beta, and at 15GB this is one of the largest PS3 installations yet. But the game looks well worth it.

If you still have one of those old 20GB PS3s, you might want to skip this one. The beta will be downloaded in segments, which is nice for those with unreliable Internet connections. If you have problems you won’t need to start over again.

The Guardian is reporting that both ITV and Channel 4, two of the nation’s largest commercial channels, are bringing their video catchup services to the PlayStation 3. The ITV Player and 4OD have had web-based services for some time and now they have both made deals with Sony, who expects their overall traffic to improve by 10 percent.

ITV says they are open to adding their content to “other consoles,” web-connected TVs, and tablets, while Channel 4 has had no luck with Xbox 360 deals and the Wii isn’t for them since it doesn’t support advertising. Sony however is very open to more content and welcomes them.

The Xbox 360 outsold the Nintendo Wii in November with sales of 1.37 million Xbox 360s sold against 1.27 million Wiis. sadly for Sony, the PS3 was third with 530,000 consoles sold. However, when Nintendo’s DS hand-held is added to the equation, Nintendo sold a total of 2.7 million consoles in November.

Compared with sales this time last year, the Xbox 360 is up 67 percent while Nintendo held steady, recording 10,000 more sales this year. Sony sold 25 percent fewer PS3 consoles this November when compared to its November 2009 performance, when Sony sold nearly 200,000 more consoles.

The Tron Marketing madness continues and even the PS3 will not be spared. Monster has introduced the Monster TRON Legacy PS3 Slim Powerstation 400. It offers Monster’s Clean Power technology, a 4-port USB smart charger where the USB ports can be used for accessories like guitars, drum sets etc.

Sure it does all of that stuff, but the most important thing is that you’ll have a constant reminder of a movie that will likely suck. It’ll cost you $79.95 and is available now.

Good news for classic gaming fans. Publisher SNK Playmore has released details of a new “Neo Geo Station’ its looking to add to the PlayStation Network starting December 21st 2010. The Neo Geo collection of games will be released for both the PS3 and PSP. They will cost $8.99 for the PS3 and $6.99 each on the PSP.

These are not emulated versions of the originals, which is good news and SNK has also been able to add Ad-Hoc Party support on PSP with online co-op and versus play features on the PS3.

Looks like now is a good time to buy a new TV if you also need a PS3. Best Buy has just announced some post-holiday deals that are valid until December 11. In the Sony PS3 bundle deals there are several discounts when a Sony TV is paired with a PS3, including a 46-inch LED-lit LCD with a 160GB PlayStation 3 for $1,300, which saves you $1,380. Not bad right?

A 3D-ready 46-inch LED TV with a PS3 will cost you $1,700, a savings of about $1,180. How about a 55-inch 3D-ready LED HDTV and the same PS3 for $2,200?

GameStop’s Black Friday ad has leaked out early and as usual, there are some deals if you’re buying a new console. Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo’s systems all come with games included, and they’re not bad games.

Some of the deals include: Buy any two used games or accessories, get one used game or accessory of equal or lesser value free. 4GB Xbox 360 console bundle ($199) — includes a free copy of Madden 11 or Medal of Honor. Wii console bundle ($199) — includes Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort and Just Dance. Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary Wii bundle ($199) — includes Wii Sports and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. How about a 160GB PS3 console bundle ($299) that includes the God of War Collection and God of War III?

Workers at a shipping facility in Brampton, Ontario discovered on Monday that a trailer containing $500,000 worth of Sony goods was stolen. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the very next day a second trailer went missing containing even more PS3 and PSP games and hardware.

The trailers appeared to have been stolen while they were parked and the driver was away. One had a Nebraska license plate, the other was from Ontario. If you see either-who are we kidding? You will be too busy playing Black Ops to care.

This blue PS3 was supposed to hit Japan on November 3rd as well as Gran Turismo 5, but no, it never happened. But now we have news that this Titanium Blue PS3 launch bundle will have a November 24th release date.

Think of it as your blue race car as you vroom vroom with the controller. It will cost ¥35,980 (about $436). Like the color, you will feel very blue after draining your bank account.

According to COO of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business, Dennis Durkin, the Xbox360 is being used for gaming only 60% of the time, while the remaining 40% is used for other things aside from gaming.

Users are watching streaming movies with Netflix, using social media sites like Twitter and Facebook, or listening to tunes using Zune etc. Microsoft says that Xbox 360 owners spend an average of three hours online per day.

You’ve been waiting for Hulu Plus for your PS3 and sure enough, now any US PlayStation Network member stream Hulu’s premium service. You no longer have to be a paying member of Sony’s PlayStation Plus club to qualify.

If you like what the $9.99 TV streaming service is offering, then you had better get streaming. Those across the pond will just have to wait. Luckily for all of us the PS3 does a lot.

The NHL has just announced its GameCenter streaming app is coming to the PlayStation 3 and Roku players. It’s free for PlayStation Plus members, while it will cost $9.99 for everyone else. It is free on Roku. Gamers will have access to the app with highlights, stats and information, while subscribers to the $169 GameCenter Live service will get the full package, which includes streaming out-of-market games and some playoff matchups.

It’s a lot like the MLB app that’s available on PS3. Hockey fans will want to check it out right away and see what all the fuss is about.

The PS3 really does do everything. It just got Hulu Plus in the US recently, and now the console has just started streaming movies action in the UK, with Lovefilm. If you are in the UK, it is free. You just have to have a £5.99 or above monthly Lovefilm subscription.

Just be aware that there’s a limit on how much streaming you can do at that price point. Those restrictions go away on the £9.99 top tier, letting you enjoy as many movies as you want.

We knew it was coming and things just got more official. The new Bluetooth headset for the PS3 comes in a new form factor, shedding some weight and looking more stylish. This Bluetooth headset features a dual-microphone design, automatic pairing via USB cable with the PS3, an in-game headset status indicator, an easy to access mute button, and a charging cradle that doubles as a desktop microphone.

It looks much sexier now and matches the PS3 much better. They also claim that this is the only peripheral that delivers a High-Quality mode for crystal clear voice chat while gaming. It’s still just $49.99.
