PS3 Weekend Warrior: Of Blu-ray compilations, firmware problems, and PS3 in 3D

Things are starting to settle down on the PS3 blog. The Slim’s out but we won’t be seeing if it has had any significant effect on the console’s sales until the NPD report for September comes out. What we do have this week though is another long-ago rumor that came true: a Blu-ray compilation that contains God of War and God of War 2. That’s not all, of course, so just hit the jump and check out the rest of the PS3 Weekend Warrior.
