Yes­ter­day, the sec­ond offi­cial trailer of the soon to be released Prince of Per­sia movie adap­ta­tion hit the web. If you want to know more about the movie, check out my first post on the topic. Prince of Per­sia will be in cin­e­mas on May, 21st. With­out fur­ther ado, here’s the trailer:

This march promises to be quite event­ful. I’ve just pre-​​ordered Bat­tle­field: Bad Com­pany II and God of War III from Amazon.co.uk. Best of all, Ama­zon is kind enough to pro­vide an in-​​game early AK-​​47 weapon unlock code for BC2. Accord­ing to a pre­view over at Ars Tech­nica you can beat the single-​​player game of BC2 in about eight hours or so. That’s O.K. because mul­ti­player ist the meat of the game. Appar­ently, you’ll also get a day-​​one map pack in the form of a one-​​time-​​use code included with the game. Just enter the code and you get two addi­tional maps. If you buy the game used, you’ll have to unlock the con­tent for US$ 15. Here’s a pre­view of things to come:

God of War III on the other hand is all about the single-​​player expe­ri­ence. Ama­zon bun­dles the game with a code to unlock a For­got­ten War­rior char­ac­ter skin, if you pre-​​order with them. GoW III ups the ante in terms of size by offer­ing areas up to fours times larger than those found in its pre­de­ces­sor. The pro­gram­mers and design­ers have included new instru­ments of death and ruth­less tech­niques for Kratos to learn. The third install­ment will con­clude the tril­ogy but there already are plans to cre­ate more games with Kratos. Here’s a trailer for your view­ing pleasure:

Obvi­ously, the 8001050F PSN error fixed itself when the inter­nal clock date changed from Feb­ru­ary 29th to March 1st UTC. If the time dis­played on the XMB is still incor­rect, you can fix it by adjust­ing time set­tings man­u­ally or via the inter­net. I just took a quick look at it before going to work and I could sign in to the PlaySta­tion Net­work with­out expe­ri­enc­ing any error mes­sage. I’ll have to check whether I’ve lost any data but I don’t think so because I really couldn’t do anything.

If you started a game while this hap­pened your local tro­phy col­lec­tion may be blank. Just get a new tro­phy and your local list should be refreshed and alright. If it doesn’t work, you’ll have to wait until Sony makes an offi­cial state­ment regard­ing this issue. Have fun once again.
