Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of January 4th

by Jem Alexander { Jan 4th 2009 at 7:35PM }

Are you surprised? Nothing's out this week. Literally nothing. Perfect opportunity to finish all those titles you haven't got around to yet. January's a yucky month anyway, so stock up on comfort foods and hot drinks and sink into your gaming backlog. Spring'll be here before you know it. Here's a list that contains nothing:

US Games

No new releases

EU Games

No new releases

Asian Games

No new releases

why even make the damn list if it's nothing...that makes no sense.

Syn @ Jan 4th 2009 7:49PM

It makes dollars.

Daniel @ Jan 4th 2009 7:51PM

makes sense I guess, just seems dumb to post a "list" of nothing. The paragraph above the "list" would have sufficed.

AltCtrlPwn @ Jan 4th 2009 7:55PM

Probably just messing around?

Calm down.

Daniel @ Jan 4th 2009 7:57PM

LOL I am calm, just pointing out it looks stupid to have an empty list.

Jem @ Jan 4th 2009 7:59PM

I love the idea that everyone reads every single word we write (honestly, it's a beautiful dream). Sadly, the reality is that most people tend to just skim the bullet-pointed lists for these release posts.

Thanks for taking the time to not only read the whole post, but also to comment. Appreciate it.

anthonyjh @ Jan 4th 2009 9:43PM

Calmer than you are, Dude.

Daniel @ Jan 4th 2009 10:10PM

I guess that's a good point Jem but on the other hand if there was no list the post would have been just a few sentences. Basically just:

With a title of "No New Releases This Week!" Or something similar.

I think everyone would have read that. Making the list MAKES them skip the paragraph.

To be honest I guess I didn't think of your point because I do happen to read every word posted here. I only visit a very few websites each day, this being one of the main 3 and so I take the time to read them. BTW, thanks for your hard work, I just didn't see the point in the list.

I'll rest my case now, moving along...

Mr. Joe @ Jan 5th 2009 2:40PM

i found it humorous and actually read each line of "no new releases." then loled. then loled again at you guys bitching about it. oh, good times.

j.howlett @ Jan 4th 2009 7:57PM

this list is perfect for my budget.

Batzi @ Jan 4th 2009 9:48PM

LOL. So true man.

Mo @ Jan 5th 2009 10:47AM

seriously! I for one am delighted... I have my work cutout for me before Kz2

MiguelCar808 @ Jan 4th 2009 8:03PM

@Daniel :
It gives the impression that they forgot.

tsukasa1288 @ Jan 4th 2009 8:04PM

Backlog is an understatement for me, the game industry could halt for a year and I'd still have new stuff play.

linebeginstoblur @ Jan 4th 2009 9:03PM

Yeah, I know what you mean. As if PS3 games weren't bad enough, I still have tons of PS2 games I haven't finished (or even started... oops).

Nathan-DTS @ Jan 5th 2009 12:30PM

Yeah I have a lot to play through but unfortunately my PS3 fell victim to the yellow light of doom on new years day. Poor me; now I have to play on my Wii, DS and PSP.

RagingStormX @ Jan 5th 2009 10:55AM

I thought it was just me.... I have close to a hundred games on my 300GB hd in my PS2 and about 25 of them are RPG's that I want to finish.....

dan @ Jan 4th 2009 8:11PM

I just want to say that Skate 2 will be making an appearance this month. So it's not all bad.

Deadpool @ Jan 4th 2009 8:41PM

*Deadpool cuts through his never ending jungle of videogames*

Must finish Starwars force unleashed.....!

*Deadpool cuts through the game to the final stage*

AHHGG! This stage is killing me! I'll go another way now and see if I can cut through that path later.

*Deadpool then takes the Valkyria Chronicles path*

Wow this place looks nice! This should be easy to get throug.....AHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh!

*Deadpool falls into a RPG hole*

This is going to take forever to get out of! Help! Somebody! Anybody!

*Deadpool realises he's going to be in the hole for a while*

Well it looks like I'm going to be stuck here for a while. Maybe I should have finished the Spider-man Web of Shadows game first. :/

*Deadpool is now half way up the hole and finds a secret path*

Hey I can make a comment on Ps3fanboy.com!

*He then proceeds to make a long pointless comment that no one is likely to read.*

It's not pointless! It's my attempt at being entertaining!

*That's not how I see it.*

Shut up!

*Make me!*

(Deadpool proceeds to fight the narrator)

You want a piece of me to!?

(Me? No. Of course not!)

What? You chicken!?

(Geez, this is a crazy post. I'm getting out of here.)

I thought so!

rohan @ Jan 5th 2009 1:29AM

lmao nice post, btw i want a piece of u!!!! >__< *rawr*

Jonathan @ Jan 4th 2009 10:51PM

The nerd power in this one is overwhelming.

Kattleox @ Jan 4th 2009 11:35PM

If it was on Joystiq it would have gotten three stars and a few "tldr" responses. I have time though. It's not like I'm going to be, you know, playing a new game, or anything...

Deadpool @ Jan 5th 2009 7:11PM

*See I told you it was a pointless post, muhahahaHAHAAHA!*

[Gunshots]

*AGHHHggggg...*

Pointless? I could have swore I sharpened the ends of those bullets. Crap, now I have to get another narrator.

Any volunteers? :)

HiddenEmerald @ Jan 4th 2009 8:49PM

Hmm, well. It gives me plenty of time to go Lord of the Rings online and kik some @$$. Honestly, gandalf is a beast. I Can't wait to get it. I just bought Street Fighter 2: the ridiculous name HD Wickedsauce. It's fun.

I'm gonna go back and replay Pince of Persia and play with my new Disgaea dl content.

Lavat @ Jan 4th 2009 9:26PM

So...Do you guys want to know about the monsters that are in my room right before I wake up in the night. They...Wont go away.

-.- @ Jan 4th 2009 10:06PM

BRING ON FEBURARY!

billy @ Jan 4th 2009 10:25PM

come on febuaryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Kspraydad @ Jan 4th 2009 10:48PM

I decided to pick up DarkSector for this week...brand new for $13.

At that price I'd give it a 79/100

Draco @ Jan 4th 2009 11:20PM

new games would be nice in these kinds of conditions

Gambit07 @ Jan 5th 2009 12:00AM

I picked up Motorstorm:Pacific Rift, man this game is so underrated, it KILLS Burnout Paradise, best racing game I've played, it is that freaking good.

Jtenma @ Jan 5th 2009 12:29AM

I agree that it doesn't get the attention it deserves but I don't thin it KILLS BP. BP is a different beast in that it is SO MUCH FASTER to the point where you just give up trying to dodge traffic.MSPR is more about honing your racing line to perfection without flipping, wrecking, exploding, falling to your death.

Desolation @ Jan 5th 2009 12:34AM

Um, Hotel for Dogs comes out this week. Although honestly, nothing would have been better.

Copland @ Jan 5th 2009 1:31AM

Fallout3 is coming to Japan next week :)
But with alot of restrictions. I think I'll just buy the US version, because the JPN version is sensored too much.

jack_o @ Jan 5th 2009 1:45AM

hey guys sorry to bother you and change the topic but theres a problem with my ps3, here it goes

i put the disc(a game soul calibur 4) in the drive and the system reads it and plays it perfectly. but i hear a sound coming from the system , possibly the disc stopping to spin
for a very short period of time , but while the disc stopped spinning the game ran perfectly it didnt freeze or anything like that it just stopped to spin and rapidly began to do ot again its already gone but

can this problem affect my system?
can the disc reader become damaged? this way ?

plz sorry for my english and answer me

bye

Mr. Joe @ Jan 5th 2009 12:48PM

i'd have to recommend that you put a disc in. start playing. as soon as you hear the noise, pick up your whole ps3, start yelling, and shake it as hard as you can!*

*i cannot be held liable for any damage done to your ps3 for actually taking this advice.

jack_o @ Jan 6th 2009 4:15PM

any other idea?

will @ Jan 5th 2009 2:10AM

thank god.... i have put almost 50 hours into Fallout 3.... i have completed only the first two LBP levels, and i have CoD:WaW, Res 2, and FC2 all in the shrink wrap!!!!

hesham8 @ Jan 5th 2009 4:20AM

Ironic.
When videogames are coming out, I'm incredibly busy.
When they stop coming out, I'm not.

Dan Rabot @ Jan 5th 2009 5:42AM

I too got Pacific Rift at the weekend and it's rocking my socks off. Online multiplayer all the way.

Just Prestiged W@W - Figured I'd better do the Solo game having prestiged the multi, did that, ZOMBIES ROCKS!

Still hammering away at Endwar's Theatre of War, playing as Russia and we've gone from losing to controlling Washington and fighting for Paris in the past couple of weeks!

so yeah, plenty to play, with those and the odd bit of LBP - playing some of the awesome levels has stopped me bothering to create them a bit now though.

thinking about a LittleBigChopper though, as in Mark Brando Chopper Read. "Get those bloody ears off"
