Jetpack Joyride launches on PlayStation for free


Halfbrick Studios' Jetpack Joyride have been nothing but a hit in 2012, and just before the year ended, plans to bring the game onto consoles have been finally realised. In partnership with Big Ant studios, a HD version of the game has been passed on for approval on the PlayStation Network.

In addition to its release on both the PS3 and the PS Vita, the console-version of the game would also feature a new multiplayer mode. Though we haven't seen any footages about that yet, we think that it's simply gonna pitch you and the other player in an endless competition of launching to the furthest.

Commenting about the company's latest achievement, CMO of Halfbrick Phil Larsen expressed that “(they're) thrilled to bring it to PS3 and Vita, with the expertise of Big Ant and the huge player base on the Sony Entertainment Network, Barry Steakfries is reaching bigger heights and caps off the year in fine form.”

So since the game is free, there's no harm in downloading it on your PlayStation devices isn't it? After all, it might just be way cooler on the big screen (well, unless its on your PS Vita...)

Thanks, MCV Pacific!

PlayStation (PS) Vita to Finally Launch in Malaysia on May 9th.


After about 4 months since its initial launch in Japan and about 2 months after the launch in Singapore, Malaysia finally gets the PlayStation Vita, officially.

In a press release, Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong announced that the PlayStation Vita (PS Vita) will be officially released in Malaysia on the 9th of May. However, it seems that only the Wi-Fi model will be available, and would be retailing at RM1,099.

Sony will also be allowing pre-orders for the PS Vita Value Pack, which consists of Unchartered: Golden Abyss and ModNation Racers: Road Trip, from the 30th of April; as well as offering a PSN exclusive Escape Plan at its designated Sony outlets.

In conjunction with the official release, Sony have also announced that they will be holding a launch event on the 9th of May and a roadshow till the 13th at Pavillion Shopping Mall for everyone to have a shot at the rather highly-anticipated portable game console.

Singapore First To Get PS Vita in SEA, On 22nd February

PlayStation's latest portable gaming console, the PS Vita, will be launching in Europe and North America on the 22nd of February, and if you're hoping that it will also be launching in SEA on the same day, it unfortunately looks highly unlikely as nothing has been said about it yet.

However, the only exception is that PlayStation Asia recently announced that our neighbours across the strait, Singapore, will be getting their hands on the device in conjunction with the official launch event - which will be held on the 22nd of February.
"To provide more opportunities for public to have experience on PS Vita, Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong (SCEH) is going to hold a launch event to kick-off PS Vita official launch in Singapore." - PS Asia Blog
This, unfortunately, still leaves launches in the rest of South East Asia unannounced.

[More details on Singapore's launch here]
Here's hoping that it's gonna be soon, especially in Malaysia! (:
