Yesterday Sony announced a few things in the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany. So here are some of the highlights.Probably the biggest thing Sony announced was a new PSP 3001. Nothing crazy new that is a
must have feature but some nice additions like a built in mic, a enhanced screen with better colors, higher contrast, and is less reflective outside. Everything for the same price as the 2000 series. Sony also announced new bundles like a Ratchet and Clank: Size matters one which includes that game, National Treasure 2 on UMD, a silver PSP, 1GB MemoryStick, and thats not all a voucher to download Echocrhome from the Playstation Store all for $200! The other bundle includes a a Piano Black PSP with a 4GB MemoryStick and a voucher to download the newly announced coming to PSP game Everyday Shooter, One of my favorite PSN games, the bundle costs $200.Then the usual Core which just includes a Black PSP for $169.
I'm going to combine these two things.
Next something less exciting a 160GB PS3 shipping for $499 comes with the excellent game Uncharted: Drakes Fortune and a voucher to download Pain from the Playstation Store. Sony hasn't said if this will have all of the goodies like memory card readers and software backwards compatibility but I guess we'll find out this and the new PSP come out around October. Also Sony announced a new keyboard that attaches to the PS3 controller. The keyboard works with both the Dualshock and the Sixaxis and sits atop the R1 and L1 buttons. The keyboard looks pretty cool includes shortcuts to your friends list and message box and it has a touch pad somewhere to make it easier to browse the web and what not.
Then probably one of the biggerest games at GC was Heavy Rain. Heavy Rain is somewhat like Alan Wake for the XBOX 360 and is made by Quantic Dreams same people that did Indigo Prophecy.
SCEE is promising it will talk about topics unheard of in gaming, "making it a genuinely mature game for a new world of adult gamers." Add this to another big exclusive to the Playstation 3 for 2009!

Heavy Rain definitely looks cool. I was also really happy to see more of LittleBigPlanet, PES 2009, and Resident Evil 5.
Hey Blooper, I know you've got a PS3 and 360 but do you know anyone that's still looking to get either one? If so, you might want to let them know about this contest going on where you can win the system of your choice. All they (or you, if you want to have a 2nd system!) need to do is design a 6 Hour Power t-shirt, which is surprisingly easier than you might think. There are less than 180 entrants as of now, so the chances of winning look to be pretty decent. Contest details can be read here: http://www.brickfish.com/Entertainment/Stacker2?tab=overview
Let me know if you or someone you know enters, and I'll be happy to vote for you or their designs. I work with them so feel free to send me any e-mail if you have any questions. Good luck.
