I have a headset already. It’s the Jabra one which came with Warhawk. I hardly use it, but if Forge and I are going to be making LittleBigPlanet levels, I might get this official PlayStation headset. I mean, the features sound quite impressive:

This is a great application of the PlayStation Eye.

If I was a child I’d get a PS Eye for this. Hmm…

Or how I love interactive movies…
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
Quantic Dream’s Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy was one of the most memorable games I’ve played it. It was markedly different in its approach. It focused heavily on story and the moment. It sported mature themes (sex and murder) and it did it all pretty damn well. I still remember the feeling of frantically hiding incriminating evidence within the apartment with a cop standing outside the door.

Unlike Microsoft and Nintendo, who chose not to go up on stage to sing and dance, Sony put on somewhat of an interesting press conference which included games and a fair bit of hardware announcements. And since anything SCEE said at Leipzig pertained to Europe alone, SCEA put up a blog post detailing the North American version.
Here’s the breakdown:
PlayStation 3 with 160 GB Hard Drive
- November for $499.99 USD/CAD
- Comes with Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune
- DualShock 3
- Voucher for PSN game PAIN

That’s what the marketing guys at SCEA want to do with LittleBigPlanet’s cover boy. This bodes well for LBP as Sony themselves are quite confident with the upcoming PS3 title.
Usually characters are promoted to mascot status after a game’s success like with the Master Chief and Xbox or Mario and Nintendo, not before a highly experimental game even reaches public beta. By October of this year, we’ll see if SackBoy can live up to this upcoming role.

I’ve been wanting to try this PlayStation Home thing since its announcement way back when Phil Harrison was top cat at Sony Worldwide Studios. While the service has been delayed numerous times, my level of interest with it has not waned.
I’m interested. I want to try it out. If I don’t like, that’s fine.
Well, it looks like my opportunity to apply is coming up! All I have to do is download the “Home” theme off the PSN Store tonight. The theme (which is free, of course) should appear around the usual PSN Store update time, which is around 6 - 7 PM EST.

Update: So we’re not making money with LBP? Cover up? David Reeves slip up? You decide.
According to an interview Mr. David Reeves of SCEE, talented people will be able to make money off the levels they create in Media Molecule’s LittleBigPlanet.
So, for example, what we’re trying to do with LittleBigPlanet is almost iTunes meets eBay in the sense that once an individual or a developer has qualified by producing certain levels or certain add-ons, they will then be able in the future to exchange these and make money out of them. Eventually, it’s feasible that you might well see the first LittleBigPlanet millionaire!
Even if you charge less than one euro, it doesn’t take many downloads if you’ve got a really strong LittleBigPlanet level for people to be able to make money. It’s a great way for people to show others what they can do.

I’m not a big DC Comics fan so when Sony Online Entertainment announced DC Universe Online, I wasn’t that impressed. In fact, I was more impressed with Jim Lee’s one handed push ups. Well, regardless of how I excited I am for a console/PC MMO, it does look pretty good.
A couple of pieces of concept art and a large bundle of screenshots to follow:
