Sony’s Alleged Playstation Phone Sounds Good In Theory

12.06.10 Written by MZ

Technologizer:

The folks at Engadget continue to get the scoop on Sony Ericsson’s rumored Playstation Phone. This time, they found a pair of YouTube videos showing a little bit of the device in action.

And so far, it’s promising in its simplicity. Rather than gum up the works with Sony’s Xperia operating system, the phone is running stock Android, supposedly version 2.3. Playstation games are accessed through a Playstation app.

Death Of The PS3?

06.20.09 Written by Devin Chanda

sony_playstation_three_console_system

As if the fact that Blu-Ray was dead in the water wasn’t bad enough, it seems that the PS3 is becoming obsolete in serving its main purpose, as well.

The Activision chief Bobby Kotick had the following to say to The Times:

“I’m getting concerned about Sony; the PlayStation 3 is losing a bit of momentum and they don’t make it easy for me to support the platform. It’s expensive to develop for the console, and the Wii and the Xbox are just selling better. Games generate a better return on invested capital on the Xbox than on the PlayStation.

They have to cut the price, because if they don’t, the attach rates are likely to slow. If we are being realistic, we might have to stop supporting Sony.” When asked when Kotick replied, “when we look at 2010 and 2011, we might want to consider if we support the console – and the PSP [portable] too.”

Now, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater is no longer relevant but in boasting a certain musical game title—with a Hip-Hop version on the way—Activision now occupies Read the rest of this entry »

Uncharted 2: Honor Among Thieves (Co-op Preview) x Giveaway!

06.13.09 Written by TSSCrew

Words By S. Cadet

uncharted-2

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune was one of the games that almost swayed me to cop a PS3 back in ’07. I knew I had to at least try the preview at E3 since the release of the sequel, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, is around the corner. Naughty Dog, the developers behind the series, are really pushing all the new features in their latest effort. Single player returns with new co-op and multiplayer modes possibly making it one of the most complete games coming out this fall. Read the rest of this entry »
