Eidos parent company SCi will release Kane & Lynch: Dead Men and Crossfire for PS3.
This sets up Kane & Lynch, the next shooter from the Hitman boys, for a simultaneous release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC this year. Crossfire meanwhile, a new game from the developer behind the Conflict series, will arrive next year on the same platforms.
SCi also says it's in advanced negotiations for the film rights to the Kane & Lynch film, following up the Hitman flick which is currently in production with Fox.

Sony has released the latest 1.70 firmware for PS3, laying the groundwork for playing downloadable PS1 titles on the console itself, and improving backward compatibility with PS2 peripherals.
Long announced and in development, the latest firmware update has finally promised to give players the chance to play the PlayStation Network's selection of downloadable PS1 titles on the console itself -- as opposed to just on the PSP.

PS3 Users Boost Home Program
Sony Computer Entertainment officials have revealed that Stanford University’s Folding@home distributed computing project has greatly benefited from PS3 user participation, with the program's computing capacity more than doubling since the console joined the effort.
Folding@home is used to aid in calculations relating to the study of protein folding and protein folding diseases and was originally run by joining thousands of PCs throughout the world (with a concept similar to the popular SETI@home screen saver, which analyzes radio-telescope data to find evidence of intelligent signals from space).
In March, the project was added to the PlayStation 3’s XMB (XrossMediaBar) via a firmware update. Since then, more than 250,000 unique PS3 users have registered to participate in the program, lending their consoles' processing power to the research effort.
Program officials note that the rapid uptake among PS3 users has spurred additional growth amo .....
