News: Premium PSN service planned, won't affect online gaming
Sony caused a bit of a stir when a slide from its recent investor conference alluding to a paid online PlayStation Network subscription service was unearthed by The Examiner. With thoughts of a PSN equivalent of Xbox Live Gold worrying gamers, Sony quieted the uprising by assuring VG247 that if any subscription-based service was created, non-paying users would still be able to play their favorite games online for free, as the company stated that the subscription would only apply to "premium content and services."

News: BioShock 2 special edition announced
Most special editions aren't all that special -- they include goofy items that are destined to collect dust in gamers' closets and provide little in the way of cool content that properly accompany the games. Modern Warfare 2 night vision goggles, I'm looking at you.

News: AT&T Loses in Court, but Catfight with Verizon Continues
Yesterday a federal judge slapped down AT&T's (rather whiny) restraining order against Verizon over the now infamous "There's a Map for That" advertisements. The ads show a U.S. map comparing AT&T's 3G coverage to Verizon's more impressive reach. AT&T did not deny its 3G coverage was pathetic but rather stressed that customers can still get cell reception and use the mobile Internet via its 2G EDGE network. To that, Verizon released a snarky legal filing that essentially said "the truth hurts."
