NAMCO Bandai Games America has confirmed that they have licensed the exclusive North American rights to publish videogames for the Dragon Ball franchise from 2010 to 2014. While Atari currently holds the agreement with FUNimation for the Dragon Ball game rights, the agreement ends this year. FUNimation Entertainment has made attempts to terminate Atari's license in October of 2007, but Atari negotiated the continuation of the license in December of that year. The games are based on Akira Toriyama's fighting action manga and Toei Animation's anime adapatation of that manga. NAMCO Bandai Games America negotiated with Toei and FUNimation for the new agreement. The new agreement not set to officially start until 2009, will be preceeded by the publisher releasing 3 Dragon Ball games for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and DS. The games are: Dragon Ball: Raging Blast for the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 consoles, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo for the Nintendo Wii console Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans for the Nintendo DS system Source: Anime News Network

Sony has quietly filed a patent that appears to reveal that they are planning or at the very least considering the possibility of reintroducing full PS2 emulation to the PS3. The PS3 initially shipped with a special chip for this purpose but was later removed in an attempt but Sony in order to cut costs.
The 'plan' is suggested by Sony's American operation recently filing a patent which describes a method by which the PS3s "Cell" processor could emulate the PS2's "Emotion Engine", without the need for special hardware. Initially the PS3 actually shipped with this functionality provided in the hardware and this was a key selling point (After all backwards compatibility is very key for gamers), but with later revisions of the console the chip was dropped and with it the backwards compatibility of the PS2.
