DPad’s posted a report based on a source that attended the Sony Computer Entertainment Staff Annual Briefing in London on Friday, claiming SCEE president David Reeves said the firm “will be getting more competitive on price from March 2009 onwards.”

Apparently the PSP version of LittleBigPlanet – which the report says has been worked on for the past four months – was shown, as was Uncharted 2 and God of War 3, which looked so good the source claimed it wasn’t really possible to distinguish it from CGI.

There’s a lot of stuff through there: must-read.

Eurogamer has learned from third-party publisher at Games Convention that Microsoft is set to release a new Xbox 360 controller with a new d-Pad.

Microsoft has since confirmed the story to be true and has said that the new pad will be released alongside Pro Evo 09 and is “optimised” for the series.

“The new limited-edition green wireless controller offers enhancements to d-Pad functionality, which will add to the experience of playing games where the d-Pad is the primary control mechanism,” said Microsoft.

“We’re always looking to improve products and we made these changes based on feedback from gamers.”
