Mark Rein at Epic said that they are very happy with their relationship with Microsoft and Gears of War will not go to PS3.

Mark Rein written on a PS3 forum: Please remove that complete bullshit story about Gears going to PS3. Cliff Bleszinski has NEVER been quoted as “threatening Microsoft to port over Gears to the PS3″. We’re very happy with our relationship with Microsoft and are extremely grateful of everything they’ve done to help make Gears the huge success it has become. Part of that success came from being an Xbox 360 exclusive FIRST PARTY title and Microsoft getting behind it in a huge way. They’re the publisher of Gears of War and, unless they say otherwise, there is no chance Gears is coming to PS3. For PS3 we have Unreal Tournament 3 and it’s going to be fantastic.

The latest SOCOM Hell Week video was released earlier today and the video captures 14 trainees getting into a porto potty.

- Rumors are beginning to resurface regarding Sony developing a larger hard drive for PlayStation 3 following comments from Sony spokesperson Satoshi Fukoka.

“For users who vigorously store [games and other entertainment content] in the PS3, 20GB is probably going to be to small” said Fukoka in an interview with Reuters.

He added, “Even 60GB may not be big enough eventually.”

Fukoka said that none of the inside components of PS3 would be alter with the larger hard drive model. “We are not likely to change its core components and functions such as the Cell, RSX, Blu-ray drive and network capability,” he said.

Sony has already filed an FCC application for an 80GB model.

Sony has officially announced that they will discontinue selling the $499 20GB PlayStation 3 model. Retail stores online and offline have already stopped selling the 20GB model, including Sony’s own SonyStyle e-tailer.

“Due to the overwhelming demand for the 60GB model from both retailers and consumers, we have ceased offering the 20GB model here in North America. In addition to the larger internal hard drive, the 60GB PlayStation 3 features added storage media slots and built-in Wi-Fi not found in the 20GB system. Based on retailer and consumer feedback, we have decided to focus our current efforts on the more popular 60GB model” said Dave Karraker, Sr. Director, Corporate Communications at SCEA.

The 20GB models that are still available at select retail stores will continue to sell for $499. If you were to purchase a 20GB PlayStation 3 in the future don’t worry as it will still be “100% supported with software and services, since all PS3s have the same basic architecture (unlike if MSFT were to stop selling their Core system, which would allow publishers to actually use their hard drive for gaming purposes, leaving the Core user out in the cold),” said Karraker.

I came across some entertaining videos to promote the web reality series SOCOM Hell Week Season Two. Each video was created by Sony and is definitely worth checking out.

The first video is Pukefest and it’s basically what the title reads…puking. You can view the video here.

The second video is Second Thoughts and is the funnier of the two. The guys in this video are second thinking going to the training due to the hard work. Nice video. Click here to view it.

Rockstar Games revealed the name of the playable character in Grand Theft Auto IV will be Niko Bellic. It was also revealed that GTA IV will be an all new Grand Theft Auto with a realistic New York and characters that fits the environment.

A new video showcasing God of War 2 has been posted by a random fan. Whoever put it together did a pretty good job of doing so. The graphics for the game looks very good. You can view the God of War 2 remix video by clicking here.
