Sony Hints on PS3, PSP, and PS2 Plans

jaaron writes "The Register/GamesIndustry.biz reports on what Sony may have in store in terms of gaming hardware for E3, and according to remarks from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president David Reeves: 'PSP games will probably be region-free, that PS3 will be intrinsically linked with PSX and may appear in home server and standalone gaming versions, and... Sony may announce a stripped down, PSone-style PlayStation 2 product.'" The interview also mentions: "Looking further ahead, Reeves spoke about Sony's 'ultimate goal' for PlayStation 3 - 'to get into electronic broadband distribution'."

Re:Games have been $50 USD since the days of Ninte

Games these days are insanely short and are also rampant with sequels based on engines that have had very little to no core updates since the first.

Tony Hawk 4/5, GTA: Vice City are prime examples. Sorry, but if you're gonna charge $50, give me a reason. I don't think much R&D was invested into the engines for Vice City or the THPS sequels. It's pretty much "take the old engine, tweak the graphics a bit.. add some new scenarios.. RELEASE!" aka Expansion Packs. I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay $50 for an expansion pack.

That is why I love my modchip :)
