Today, GameSpot announced its first PlayStation 3 tournament, centered around Sony Worldwide Studios president's Phil Harrison's favorite game--Motorstorm. Registration for the creatively named MotorStorm Tournament Challenge began today, and will continue through 12 p.m. PDT on Monday, May 7.
One hour after registration closes, the first round of the MotorStorm Tournament Challenge will begin, with seven more throughout the day. In each round, 10 players will compete on five different tracks. Only the five fastest players from each race will advance to the next round.
After subsequent rounds thin the herd, the final four top-ranked players of the tournament will be flown to San Francisco for the finals on May 18th at 4 p.m. PDT. The final round will be broadcast on Tournament TV, and the winner will be rewarded with the grand prize package, worth some $1,000.
Instructions on how to register and select opponents and matches can be found on GameSpot's official MotorStorm Tournament Challenge Web site.

PSN has been launched here
@Madmonkey - He gets motorstorm on Monday, I'll pass you his ID then and then we can make each other eat dirt
Params7 said:Got my PS3. What's your PSN id monkey? And Harshal you online yet?
Anyways, I got Resistence along with it. Its the first FPS I've tried after Half Life on the PC and Black on PS2 - For some reason this FPS didn't give me dizzyness like the other two FPS's gave me. Its a brilliant game though. And the PS3..its like a rolls royce, its pure luxury, the 360 actually felt really, really cheap lying besides that sleek black system
What actually surprised me, is the online. I played online Capture the Flag team battle with 8 vs 8 - Total 16 players - and absolutely NO LAG whatsoever! I kept wondering how is this possible, the game connecting to the Japanese servers and on my airtel 256kbps. They are going to roll out the global servers for resistance by next month. I've been playing online more than the game itself, its real fun.
And the PS Store is not supported in India yet, you can make your accounts here and register for a free blu-ray movie (Open Season), but the store hasn't come yet, so we'll be missing on all the damn demos -_-
