A key title in the cog of convincing hardcore gamers that they need to purchase a Move has been delayed; Zipper Interactive confirmed on their website that the next SOCOM title won’t be released until 2011. Despite having a playable copy of the game at both GDC and E3, Zipper said it “didn’t want to take any shortcuts” and that the game just wasn’t quite ready.

“Instead, we want to deliver the best and most immersive SOCOM game we possibly can and we’re going to use our extra time to do just that,” Zipper Interactive community manager Jeremy Dunham wrote.

Being a SOCOM fan myself, I’d rather wait the extra couple of months and get a solid product rather than the less-than-stellar version similar to Confrontation. No new release date has been given.

Another week, another Playstation Store update. This week the Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days demo became available for everyone as well as some pretty neat stuff for Playstation Plus subscribers as well. Check out the full list after the break.

Sony has recently updated their Terms of Service and explained Playstation Plus and how the content is related to the end user but many people are still confused as to what is theirs to keep and what isn’t. Sony came out and offered this bit of information in lieu of those questions:

“Free add-ons expire if your subscription ends. 

Add-ons you pay for (even if you pay at a discount) are yours to keep for good. The same thing is true for games- free ones expire if you don’t renew your subscription. Anything you pay for – even at a discount – is yours forever. Themes and avatars that are free, stay free for good. 

There may be instances where a downloadable game is free and the add-on is priced at a discount. In this case, if your subscription ends, you would still have access to the DLC, but would need to re-purchase the game in order to use the add-on.”

So there you go folks. If you pay for it, it’s yours to keep. If you get it for free, they take it back.
