PayPal can now be used to fund PSN wallets online for your US accounts
For players that use a US account for their PS3, the option to add money into your PSN account through PayPal is now available. Â
After the long PSN maintenance that took around 2 days, the service went back online and PSN Trophies tweeted that PayPal is now an option to add funds to your virtual wallet through Sony Entertainment Online's website.
There is no option yet to top up via your PS3 console. To add funds with PayPal, just head over SOE's website, login using your PSN details, and you will see the PayPal option when you go to your wallet tab. You can choose from either $5, $10, $20, and $50.
This has been a long-awaited option for most players. The only way to add funds for years was via credit card or PSN prepaid cards.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and its boss battles
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is out next month and Konami just released yet another trailer that focuses on the game's boss battles. No, they are not huge monstrosities that cover half the screen. It is simply cyborg bosses with unique concepts backing them up. Check out the trailer below.
 With a game that's all about going over the top, Platinum Games is showing that you don't need a big baddie to bring out good boss battles. They look like a lot of fun, especially the boss that's made up of sliced pieces of himself.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is out on March 19 for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. And I can't wait to just get the game, kick back, relax, and just mindlessly slice everything up like a maniac.
God of War: Ascension single player trailer
About freaking time. Sony finally decided to give a bit of love for God of War: Ascension's single player by releasing a 30 second trailer. Short, but I'll take it. It's better than nothing.
The last footage shown was during last year's E3 when they presented a live demo of the single player. Since then, all the attention went to the multiplayer aspect of the game.
God of War: Ascension will be available on March 12 exclusively for the Playstation 3.

Skyrim PS3 DLC's finally hitting in February, 50% off at launch
Bethesda has finally figured it out. All three of Skyrim's DLC's will be heading to PS3 this February. First up, the Dragonborn DLC.
They didn't give a specific date for when each add-on content will be available on PSN, but they did give the order of release. The latest DLC Dragonborn will be first, followed by Hearthfire, then Dawnguard.
On launch, each DLC will be 50% off on the first week, a way of compensation for PS3 players that waited for months to get their hands on the content.
The 1.8 patch will also hit February prior to the Dragonborn release, so get ready to patch up.
For PC players, Dragonborn will be available in Steam on February 5.

Killer is Dead debut trailer
Grasshopper Manufacture has launched the debut trailer for their next project called Killer is Dead. They included English subtitles, but I was easily distracted by how good the game looks. Check it out below.
The art style used for Killer is Dead is amazing. It gives that No More Heroes vibe and it's definitely Grasshopper's trademark look.
It's planned for a summer release in Japan for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, but no word yet if this will get any western treatment.
