It was a big week for the PlayStation 3. A whole bunch of new details for God of War 3 came out, including info on familiar mini games *cough*, and the Warhawk Command Center finally launched on PlayStation Home. LittleBigPlanet is also getting a bunch of new stuff, including a Patapon costume!

Here’s the biggest PlayStation 3 news this week!

Game News

• Warhawk Command Center launches in PlayStation Home. Link.
• Home users in Japan is getting an awesome new Japanese-style lounge called Irem Plaza. Link.
• LittleBigPlanet update gives us new search options. Link.
• We’re also getting slightly creepy but still cute customizable sackboy toy figures. Link.
• And for Patapon fans, a Patapon sackboy! Link.
• Surprise! Or not really? Killzone 2 street date was broken. Link.
• But sorry fellas, no more weak-ass bots in Killzone 2. Link.
• Final Fantasy XIII is still on track for its still unspecified release date this 2009. Link.
• The PS3 is being deprived of Lost Planet 2, and the DLC for Fallout 3. LP2 Link, Fallout Link.
• New God of War 3 details, complete with throbbing muscles. Link.
• Heavy Rain will be heavily satisfying, even without DLC. Link.

Industry News

• Everyone wants a price cut except Sony. Link.
• SCEE Boss David Reeves isn’t sure the PlayStation 3 will live through its supposed 10 year lifespan. Link.
• Word spread like wildfire that someone decrypted a retail PlayStation 3 HDD. Turns out it was an epic fake, but the homebrew community still learned something out of the experience. Link.

So Reeves isn’t sure about the PlayStation 3’s 10-year lifespan huh? I imagine sales will really pick up if people actually managed to crack the PS3’s secrets – for realz – and opened it up for homebrew. Here’s hoping it’ll be sometime soon.
