Sony to offer voice recognition, image enlargement tech in upcoming SDK {Joystiq Playstation}
Sep 8th 2009 1:27PM I think the high resolution enlargement technology will make for great use in games like Gran Turismo. I would love to just browse through some car catalogs, view videos, and visit the manufacturer's website.
Can anyone think of other great uses for the technology?
New Fat Princess map 'New Pork' revealed {Joystiq Playstation}
Sep 5th 2009 3:32PM I hope any DLC released for Fat Princess is free. If they do charge for DLC, it will split the online community. Killzone 2 and Warhawk are great examples of this.
North American PS3 Slim ad campaign 'Does Everything' {Joystiq}
Aug 27th 2009 11:53AM The first one gets the message across at the end by saying, "PS3, now 299."
I felt like the second one would make the PS3 seem like it didn't have any of those features, if someone wasn't really paying attention to the commercial or was bad at recognizing sarcasm. We all know people like that (especially middle aged).
Of course I'm not in advertising and I'm sure this commercials will do just fine.
Home items selling like hotcakes {Joystiq Playstation}
Dec 23rd 2008 3:57PM Instead of asking "why?" you should be thanking those people.
There are three ways Sony is off-setting the cost of Home: Premium content, advertisements, and sponsorship type opportunities for game and non-game brands.
The latter two are not enough to keep Home free for the amount of users they anticipate.
It's fine if you don't want to buy premium content (I don't either), but don't ridicule those who do. It's their money and it's keeping Home free.

Reeves: PS3 is '300,000 units ahead of Xbox 360' in PAL territories {Joystiq Playstation}
Dec 4th 2008 5:36PM I am not a professional market analyst but...
...they probably will not drop the price for some time. They have continually said, since TGS (E3?), that they will not be dropping the price, and it seems they are getting frustrated with the rumors. Once rumors about a price drop circulate, sales tend to slump (since people wait to by a console until the price drops) and naturally an official statement will be released to counter-act the rumors.
So you're not helping PS3 sales by saying prices will drop soon, as if it's fact.

Sep 28th 2008 7:39PM We already have digital broadcast. The only difference is Europe uses DVB-T while we use ATSC.

SCEE President dates PlayTV for the UK {Joystiq Playstation}
Jul 18th 2008 4:40PM It wouldn't work if you imported it because the US uses ATSC standards whereas Europe uses DVB-T for broadcasting.
