Sony Looking Into Global PlayStation Blogs?

Luke Plunkett — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 05:30:00 MDT

Whaddya know, PAL PS3 owners aren't happy. The source of today's displeasure? Blogs. For too long have they seen how great a source of info the PlayStation.Blog is, only to then gaze upon their own pathetic, ad agency-run equivalent (Three Speech) and weep. Oh, how they've wept. Maybe it was the river of tears, maybe it was the collective sobbing, but Sony have actually taken notice, with SCEA's Jeff Rubenstein commenting (where else) on the PlayStation.Blog:

We know that there are a lot of readers coming here from beyond North America (notably the UK, Oz, Germany, and more). We're in the process of working out how to make sure your needs are addressed. We hear what you're saying.

Thanks, Jeff. So long as you know our "needs" are for a straight-up SCEE conversion of the PlayStation.Blog, that is.

Three Speech Grills Harrison on Home Porn

Mike Fahey — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 14:20:28 MDT

Someone at the 'unofficial' Sony blog Three Speech was really pushing his luck during a GDC interview with Phil Harrison. Phil seemed a little upset that the first four questions asked had to deal with using PlayStation Home as a tool to lure unsuspecting people into your personal space to show them porn.

Well I'm disappointed that you would use those as the first questions. I think Home should be used for a much wider and more beneficial scope than that, but I think that people can express their creativity inside Home in a wide variety of ways and it's not necessarily for us to dictate what that should be. However, if somebody feels uncomfortable about an encounter on Home, it's very easy for them to ban that person from their friends list...

In other words, there's no way to stop it, but it can only happen once per person, so children are perfectly kinda safe. Not really.

Still, I applaud the folks at Three Speech, who somehow managed to keep the focus on porn potential even after witnessing the delightful LittleBigPlanet. While the rest of us were dreaming of little burlap people bouncing off stars, those guys were keeping it real. Michael Fahey

Rumor Smash: No Killzone at GDC

Brian Crecente — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 15:00:30 MST

Three Speech, which may or may not be a mouth piece for Sony, points out that Luke Smith's speculations that Killzone for the PS3 will be shown at GDC have been shot down.

There was some debate yesterday on Three Speech about whether or not Sony has any comment on the current "solid" rumors by Luke Smith from 1UP and CVG regarding Killzone being shown at GDC next month, possibly with a playable demo. The response is:
"No, Killzone won't be at GDC at all," stated SCEA Manager, Ryan Bowling, in a conversation with IGN held yesterday afternoon. "The time for that game is coming and we'll have new information about it in the future, but not at GDC."

Does that still leave room for it to be shown at a private event during, before or right after GDC? I suppose. It's hard to tell if this is about semantics or corrections. Brian Crecente
