The PlayStation 3's relatively high price in the UK is down to "the cost of living" as much as anything, according to Sony UK managing director Ray Maguire, who also suggested that negative coverage of the console had been "lazy". "The old adage of never let the truth get in the way of a good story is probably more prevalent than it has been before," he told our sister site GamesIndustry.biz.

Marvellous news for Ultimate Alliance fans, and not just that we won't be able to use that joke again for a while: April will see the release of downloadable content for the Xbox 360 version, introducing eight new playable characters.

Dragon's Lair is on its way to PlayStation 3 early next month - and indeed anything else you might have that can play back Blu-ray films.

Good morning, Internet. Today is an important day. No, I'm not resigning. (Although obviously I've thought about it. The Internet is a harsh mistress. And it's not like she does you a "special favour" on your birthday or anything like that.) Today is the first day that the term "next generation" cannot realistically be used to describe a PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii. And so, in last-minute fashion, we need to start thinking about how to replace it.

By far the worst games among EA's inevitable collection of back catalogue hits are Syndicate and Wing Commander. Which is odd, because both games are also among the most fondly remembered of the selection. But that's because they were fondly remembered on the PC. The versions included here are the console versions, which are hampered by reduced functionality, inferior visuals and rubbish controls.

Once upon a time, Sony's Phil Harrison demonstrated that games offer better value for money than movies by dividing the length it took to play various games by the amount of money it cost to buy them. So he must be hugely pleased with Formula One Championship Edition because the latest title from the Sony Liverpool production line of officially licensed F1 games goes on forever. Fire up the game's career mode and it'll likely be a good half hour of practising, warming up and setting up the car before you get to the starting grid of your first Grand Prix.

We might spend a lot of time talking about new PlayStations and Slitherlinks and all that, but we're usually dreaming of BioShock when we do - and we're not just saying that because 2K Games has given us this rather handsome exclusive trailer to show off.

PlayStation 3, eh? Seems a bit excessive. Oh well, at least it's got quite a few games out on day one. Not unlike the PSP launch in 2005, Sony's decision to hold off for a bit gave it a chance to assemble a bigger line-up. The result is a great deal of breadth, and while we haven't got kind words for all the big games, we have got words, and some of them are kind. Read on for a mixture.

After months of having our grubby noses pressed up against the glass, Sony has finally opened the doors of its online PlayStation Store here in Europe. Quite handy, really, because now we don't have to engage the sun in combat every time we want an official demo.

The Lemmings are - quite literally - evergreen. Over 16 years have passed since I set foot in London's Kensington Royal Garden Hotel to attend a low-key Psygnosis press junket where Dave Jones' genius-level games concept was first unveiled. No key note speeches, no long-winded demonstrations, no hard sell. Psygnosis and DMA Design knew they had a hit on their hands and just let us play the game and appreciate the extraordinary concept. Taking a look at this PlayStation 3 rendition of the classic, it's astonishing to see just how little has changed in the core gameplay compared to the 1991 Commodore Amiga original.

Microsoft is hauling down Xbox Live for maintenance for 14 hours next Tuesday, 27th March.

It's not often that you come across a game that redefines the sector it operates in, but to put it quite frankly, Tekken: Dark Resurrection is absolutely staggering.

Speaking at the official UK launch of PlayStation 3 last night, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Phil Harrison highlighted the significance of the European market - which he believes is key to the console's success.

Those of you wondering where the rather splendid GripShift was on the PlayStation Network launch list will be pleased to learn that it turned up after all.

Bored of the present? Then why not delve into the past? Or indeed get a measure of both, by downloading Nintendo's timeless Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past from Wii's Virtual Console this morning?

As Forza 2 speeds realistically towards the development finish line, Turn 10 has taken a bit more time out to tell us about the line-up of 300+ real-world cars that you'll be able to get your hands on.

Microsoft didn't exactly turn up to wish Sony luck last night, but it did make a few crafty moves to remind everyone that it was doing this over a year ago.

Unless you've had your head in a toilet for the past god-knows-how-long, you'll know that this Friday is the European launch of PlayStation 3.
