The once delayed Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time now has a solid release date as Sony revealed that the game will be hitting the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Vita in North America on February 5, 2013 and in Europe sometime in March. It is worth noting that gamers who pre-order the game will also get special skins for Sly and Murray.

To go along with this announcement the company also released the final box art for Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time which can be seen to the right. On the box art we see that those who buy the PlayStation 3 version of the game will be given the Vita version for free as part of Sony’s cross-buy promotion.

Older PlayStation 3 models will not be given a price cut

One would think that with the reveal of the new “super-slim” PlayStation 3 announced at Tokyo Game Show a few days ago the price of older versions of the console would drop a bit. Well, that would normally be the case but that isn’t going to happen with the PlayStation 3 according to SCEA VP John Koller.

In an interview with Engadget he stated that “There’s no price drop formally. But the thing that’s been happening in the market over the last year or so is that there’s been so many retail price promotions, and so many different gift card offers and all those things, being done by all of us (Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony), that we’ve heard from our consumer, ‘Enough with all these weird price moves. What we really want is content and games and value.'”

Well… I’m not sure what consumers he has been speaking too but he certainly seems to be putting a nice little spin on their decision. It is worth noting however that in about a month and a half one of the biggest sales in the United States, Black Friday, will make the PlayStation 3’s price drop significantly for at least one day, so Sony can continue to sit on their hands.

Coming out of the Tokyo Game Show was a new trailer released by Konami and Kojima Productions for their upcoming side entry into the Metal Gear Solid series, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.  The trailer this time around focuses on story, though non-Japanese fans may have a little trouble piecing it together as, since the trailer was for TGS, it is in Japanese.

Despite that one language barrier, fans of Metal Gear shouldn’t have too hard of a time figuring out a bit of what’s going on and even if they don’t there is plenty of action in the trailer too.  Just be sure to stick around towards the full end of the trailer too as there are some lighters moments with some humor that you might miss.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is set to release on February 21st, 2012 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.  Be sure to check out the TGS trailer embedded below.

Tokyo-Game-Show-2012-Day-2-236

Today was Day 2 of the Tokyo Game Show 2012, and after checking out all the awesome games and booths yesterday we were up for some good old fashioned extra-curricular fun. AKA Booth Babes. I don’t know how much the companies spent on hiring these promo girls, but damn it was money well spent. As you can see from the copious amount of photos taken of these attractive women, they certainly are attention grabbing and a great way to draw a crowd over to a booth. Believe me there was some jostling for some of these photos.

Apart from being very inappropriate about the talent, there was also a great range of merchandise available for sale, with stuff from games, anime and even some Batman statues. It’s the sort of place that feels like heaven if you’re a game and anime fan, and surely a place where many, many people will spend a huge chunk of their money.

Check out Capsule Computers’ experience at TGS 2012 for Day 2! You can also check out our gallery on Capsule Computers’ Facebook Page HERE and make sure to LIKE our page for updates on the latest gaming news and reviews!
