If only there was a way to print those digital Final Fantasy 13 pictures, then you could make your own physical art book for under 10 bucks!
News Blips:
Square Enix releases the Final Fantasy 13 Larger-Than-Life Gallery, a digital art book, for the iPhone/iPod touch. The app features high-resolution images of the FF13 world, a clock and calendar function, and costs $8.99.

Weekly Famitsu magazine declares the non-slim PlayStation 3 to be the heaviest game console ever. The behemoth weighs in at 11 pounds, which beats out the original Xbox at 8.6 pounds, while the slim PS3 is true to its name at 7.05 pounds. See, gamers don't need to go to the gym -- just get in some solid reps curling your non-slim console, and you'll be golden. I guess it really does do everything. [1UP]
Apparently Splinter Cell: Conviction's Sam Fisher is now on Twitter. He seems to be enlisting the help of fellow Tweeters as he states that he's "not sure I can do this thing alone...gonna need support. Keep your ears to the ground, contact me here only.

In an interview with CVG, Sega West boss Mike Hayes admits that the company needs to take better care of its classic franchises in order to do better on the PS3 and 360. He feels that Sega handled the update to Sega Rally quite well, but for Golden Axe, "[They] didn't produce a great game at all." Though Hayes declined to comment on what series the company would revisit next, he stressed that they want to create a game that will be well received. Come on Sega, didn't you drop out of the console business to focus on making games in the first place?
