So great news — Sony’s finally released some info on the PS3, and I’m pleased.
First off — it’s officially delayed until November, at which point they’re going to mount a worldwide launch (US, Asia and EU). This doesn’t surprise me, so I’m not upset about the delay.
The BIG news is that they’re going to have an online service like Xbox Live, which is a no-brainer. They HAD to come to the market with SOMEthing, or they’d definitely lose some market. The even better news is that so far, it’s “basic” service (details of what that entails are still sketchy) is going to be FREE.
The most important thing to learn by this announcement is that w/ a worldwide launch, you’d better reserve a console early. I’m personally going to put my name on every registry I can find – just in case.
