The PS3 shifted 2.43 million consoles throughout the period, according to freshly-published Q2 FY 2008 figures - nearly double that for the same stretch last year.

Rumors say that Sony is preparing the launch of a PlayStation Portable based phone to hit the shelves as soon as Christmas 2009. Japanese and Korean sources state that Sony is working on converting the current PSP into a phone, while analysts say that it would be “relatively easy” to do since the PSP already has wi-fi.

Although right now the PSP has skype and VOIP so.. Why on earth dont they just leave it as that or, will they suprise us with a new phone to compete with the big boys in the cell market right now?

Although there seems to be a few little problems with its patent.

We’ve all heard rumors about a PlayStation (or PlayStation Portable) Phone by Sony Ericsson for some time now, but this is the first time that we’ve actually seen what one might look like. Filed back in 2006, this patent application features a touchscreen with haptic feedback (yeah, like the iPhone) that can transform the button layout from phone to PSP just by turning it. Here’s what the application had to say:

In another embodiment there is presented a system and method of reconfiguring the graphical user interface (GUI) of a mechanically vibrated touchscreen display associated with a portable mobile communications device that is operable in a variety of modes. An orientation sensing mechanism senses whether the portable mobile communications device is currently in a portrait or landscape orientation and accesses an orientation profile that associates each mode of operation with either a portrait or landscape orientation. A list of modes of operation associated with the sensed orientation of the portable mobile communications device is presented to the user. The user is prompted to select a mode of operation from the list. Input indicative of a selected mode of operation is received and the GUI of the mechanically vibrated touchscreen display is reconfigured for the selected mode of operation associated.

Ahh, there’s nothing like a huge quote of patentspeak to get the blood flowing on a Monday morning.

Apparently it looks like it could come Febuary 2009 allthough this is just super-internet-buzz-talk .. Lets just wait and see.

Well over a year ago now, rumors from major tech gadget and gaming blogs told us about the (at the time well hyped sony playstation phone) as the apple iPhone got iFans camping out side of cell phone stores apparently Sony Ericcson were working on what was dubbed the playtation phone.

Basically, there still working on it apparently, Gizmodo states that The Sony Ericsson gaming boss, Peter Ahnegard, said that a PlayStation-branded gaming phone would be coming by Christmas. He also added that it might not be this Christmas, which probably pissed whoever he was talking to off to no end. Sony Ericsson, who’ve already branded their W-line of phones the Walkman line, the K-line of phones the Cyber-shot line, and some random Japanese line the Bravia line, can easily brand another line (G, maybe, since P is taken) the PlayStation line. It doesn’t even need games other than the mobile ones that already exist for their cellphones, which run just fine on SE’s higher-end hardware.

Although now VOIP/Skype is available on the PSP have they totally scrapped the PlayStation phone?

As we speak I’m currently wanting to get a new phone, right now I have quite an old’ish Sony Ericsson Cybershot which does pretty much what I want a phone to do e.g call, SMS, photo’s, film, mp3, internet (web browsing), RSS feeds and email.

Although I do want to upgrade to the new T-Mobile G1 with Google Android but competition from the apple iPhone and the new Vodafone Blackberry are harsh I have to say.

Who knows if Sony will ever release a playstation phone, we will have to wait and see.

MMORPG world of warcraft is very popular on the PC, I’ts always been a PC game mainly although I was sure I remembered a game for the PS1 named Warcraft The dark saga 2.
 
I’m just wondering, since Warcraft has been a popular game online for the PC don’t you think Blizzard should create a Ps3 network online and Xbox live version? Whilst playing warcraft you can now wear World of Warcraft masks, you can get them from a site called BuyCostumes and you can buy a World of Warcraft mask from them pretty cheap from $12.99

This is an example of one of the world of warcraft masks.

Today Ubisoft announced the launch of the official Far Cry 2 space in PlayStation Home’s closed beta in North America and Europe. Featuring details from the game’s expansive open world universe wrapped in what will become a fully interactive experience, the Far Cry 2 space marks the first third-party video game environment in PlayStation Home. Last night I saw the advert here in the UK for the Far cry 2 game, it was great.
