PS3 Loses two exclusives, snagged by 360 : After losing GT IV and Assasin's Creed, two more titles slipped from Sony's hands. Fatal Inertia ( gorgeous game ) and Blade Storm : The Hundred Year's War. Also discussed at joystiq.com, which also offers an insight of how this came to be.

Trillian Astra preview : My brother loves this application. I never liked it much, then again I never got to use Windows for long, before switching to Linux and back again -- until I was lucky enough to jump ship to the one true OS.

Metal Gear Solid : Portal Ops Preview : I turned on my PSP yesterday, only to upgrade the firmware to 3.0 and, while I was at it, played Wipeout Pure for a few minutes. It was great fun, however Wipeout pure is the only game that I actually like on the system. I am looking forward to The Legend of Zelda : Plantom Hourglass's for the Nintendo DS - this is going to be the second Nintendo DS game I am going to buy, after New Super Mario Bros. Who can resist Link and his green tunic charm?

Small Arms is now available for download on Xbox Live. A lovely game which I see myself spending quite some time with. Also, the Xbox Live Video Marketplace is open for business. HD-Movies cost $6, SD-Movies $4. HD-TV shows 3$, SD-TV shows $2. Sweet!
