It's not often that Japanese gaming mag Famitsu awards a game a perfect score of 40/40, but Kotaku has discovered via a Japanese blog that Metal Gear Solid 4 has become only the eighth game to ever earn this distinction. Gamers who have been worried about whether or not the game stands up to its predecessors will no doubt be pleased to hear this news.

Interestingly enough, 2008 marks the first time that Famitsu has ever awarded two perfect scores in the same year, the other time this year being for Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

After years of promises and hype, it looks like Sony is finally getting ready to start an open beta for Home, their virtual community service for the PS3.

Chris Kohler over at Wired squeezed the information out of Susan Panico, senior director for the Playstation Network, in an interview yesterday. She told him that the beta is still on track for the promised 2008 release and that the "rollout will be similar to Gmail."

With E3 coming up next month, it wouldn't be too far out there to speculate that perhaps Sony will reveal more details at their press conference. Stay tuned.

Nintendo may think that they're the masters of expanding the market, but Sony believes that they just may have the secret weapon to taking people from handhelds to consoles: The PSP.

As reported by Gamesindustry, Sony initially marketed the PSP towards a 28-40 year-old demographic, but they soon discovered that it was a hit among youth. Calling the handheld a "gateway drug," SCEA senior marketing manager John Koller believes that younger people who started gaming on a PSP will naturally become PS3 gamers.
