It’s officially Home day, and I’ll be spending some time later today diving into Sony’s online world. Expect an impressions post soon. That is, if I can muster up the self-control not to pop in LittleBigPlanet and download all of the new costumes this week :)

• This weeks free LittleBigPlanet DLC brings out the Christmas cheer, with an adorable Santa Suit to dress up your little Sackboy. Should go well with the paid Street Fighter costumes that will also be available.
• Resistance 2 fans are in for a treat, as Insomniac is updating the game with a slew of free themes, map packs, and a new trailer.
• The PS3 version of Echochrome is being updated with Trophy support and a bunch of new, user-generated levels.
• Having just released a new version of the PSP, Sony has said it has no plans for a PSP 2 currently in the works.

Today in PlayStation: December 11, 2008

Today is chock full of PlayStation news, so be sure to check out the following links to find out what’s new with the PS3 and PSP. And be sure to check out the latest PSN content, which is full of all kinds of great games and deals. If you haven’t played Pixeljunk Eden yet, this is the week to do so.

• We all know that the PS3 can do more then play games, but apparently it’s also one of the best Bul-Ray players on the market. At least, according to CNN.
• Unlike a number of PS3 titles, the upcoming Killzone 2 won’t require a hard drive install. In fact, it’s not even an option.
• We don’t know when, but it looks like a demo for Resident Evil 5 will be hitting the PlayStation Network sometime before the game is released in North America.
• In honor of the American Thanksgiving, this weeks LittleBigPlanet free DLC is none other then a turkey hat. But if you have some money to burn, you can also pick up a Resistance 2 Chimera costume.
• The PSN is also having an awesome sale, with 5 great games available for just $4.99 each: The Last Guy, Pixeljunk Eden, Echochrome, Commando 3, and Novastrike.
• It looks like the previously believed Wii-exclusive title Tenchu 4 will now be coming to the PSP as well.
• Sony has released a trailer for the PSP version of Everyday Shooter, and it looks pretty much exactly the same as the PS3 game. Which, of course, is a good thing.
• We also have prices for a couple of upcoming PS3 peripherals. The Wireless keypad will run gamers $49.99, meanwhile an AC adaptor for charging controllers and headsets will cost $24.99.
• And, in case you were wondering, Ubisoft is indeed hard at work on the sequel to Assassin’s Creed.
