There’s another firmware update coming to the PS3, build 3.15, that will allow the system to finally play those PSP Minis. Yes, at long last you can make just one purchase of those overpriced little one-hitters and play them on your console.

It looks like the update works with titles you’ve already purchased as well. Just head to your download list and you can pick up the game on your console. The update also makes it a little easier to transfer data from one PS3 to another, a nice little bonus for those of you who picked up the PS3 Slim. The new data transfer is a simple LAN connection that dumps everything over to your new rig.

Ex-Bungie vets form Moonshot Games

As Halo nears the end of its Bungie-led storyline, it looks like the team behind the series is looking toward their own futures. Three of those guys decided to jump ship prior to the release of Halo: Reach and form their own studio, Moonshot Games.

The company is brand new – they haven’t even tweeted yet! – so all they’ve got is an impressive resume and a reasonable mission statement. “Led by a small team of experienced industry veterans, Moonshot is pledged to the exploration and development of high-quality downloadable games.” Lofty ideals indeed. Whatever the firm’s first project, I think it’s safe to guess it won’t involve space marines, alien zealots, or ancient-ring-like-planet-destroying-weapons. Yeah, none of those.
