I've been beating the "Sony needs a blog" drum for longer than I can remember. I even told Dave Karraker on several occasions that he should be their blogger. It looks like he didn't take me up on my suggestion, but SCEA did launch an official blog today, which is fantastic news.

What I like best about the blog is how very transparent it is. Not only do they have everyone's names next to the posts, they have their official SCEA title, so there's not forgetting that you're reading an official and not a fan blog.

It's far too early to see what sort of news and posts the site will be host to, but if nothing else it's a great please for fans and owners of the PS3 and PSP to meet and gather and to, at times, talk directly with the people involved in making those products.

Microsoft has Ozymandias, Major Nelson and GamerScoreBlog and now Sony has the Playstation Blog, but where's Nintendo? Come on Miyamoto, we're waiting. Brian Crecente
