Gamervision reports: "Apparently, and this is absolutely a rumor, PlayStation Network title Fat Princess has been delayed indefinitely in Japan. Word is that it was outright banned by the government because of the character design. No, it isn't because of the game's portrayal of women, but because of its portrayal of... hands. Characters in Fat Princess only have four fingers, which apparently rubs some in Japan the wrong way enough to keep the game off digital shelves entirely."

PS3Hype writes: 'Earlier we've told you that WipEout HD is coming to Blu-Ray on 16 October, today we are happy to tell you that Fat Princess is also getting a Blu-Ray release! The game will be sold on 13 November for 29,99 Euro (with the 'New Pork' add-on).'
The Lost Gamer writes "In a quick post on Titan Studios' Blog, they have announced today the first piece of DLC to be available to all those that are enjoying the delights of fattening up Princess' with cake."
PlayStation LifeStyle: "The talk behind the upcoming DLC for Fat Princess has been hot these days. Word started going when Titan Studios released concept art for a Ninja character. Then, things started really heating up when Pirates, and Chefs were revealed. Now, the newest character may be the most royal yet."
Brian Funes states : "What can be more menacing than a skilled hard hitting warrior in Fat Princess? Perhaps a cook with a rolling pin?"

First off, PS Blog would like to thank all of you for playing and supporting Fat Princess with all of your suggestions and responses on the boards. You have given PS Blog a ton of very valuable information which has helped them to track down the majority of the connection issues.
Titan Studios writes: "The Sony America connection and lag patch is now live.

As noted in the previous blog entry, Titan Studios had nothing to do with this timing. Before you skewer us, please read the previous post."
