The New Sony PS3 *Updated*

There are some things that Sony isn't great at and there are some things that they can't be competed with. One of them is their gaming console the PS3.

Th original PS3 was announced on May 2005 that followed a retail launch on Nov 2006. that set a new bench mark to the gaming industry.

Now after 3 years Sony announces it next version of the PS3. Unfortunately under the hood its the same great gaming console but its new design is... simply put "SEXY". ( I have a thing for electronics, not my best traits)



Why I think that the new PS3 is a buy for all those who don't own one yet:

  • The platform has another 4 years (bare minimum) of market life left.

  • It packs some superb hardware tightly coupled with great software (PSN Home, PSN Store)

  • It's got a blue ray player

  • More and more game publishers have still got a long way to before they've completely resourced the complete processing power of the PS3.

  • Prices are very competitive with other gaming consoles.







I've rigged up my PS3 as the central hub in my entertainment system. With the PS3 able to resource media content from any media server is a very powerful win for me.

I even watch Netflix on the PS3 thanks to a third party tool I purchased but it still works great! I would like to see Sony strike a deal with Netflix.

Another amazing thing about the PS3 is its fully capable browser. Its not the best but it gets the job done. Sony should look at upgrading their browser to one of the more modern browsers.Adding PS3 as an exclusive internet platform will shrug companies from investing on it. The online traffic on the PS3 is not very impressive and there is strong potential in making the PS3 an power internet device. I know its not a laptop but its got potential!

Another Blue Monday

Each Sunday night before I hit the sack I tell myself to be optimistic about the week to come. Despite my sincere self-gratifying pep talks, at first light on Monday - I get the blues!! I'm not sure why, but I still hate waking up on a Monday morning just to digest the fact that another week of work and mundane errands awaits me!! I hope it's not etched into my head, because I know things will change and that life has more to offer! **REALITY CHECK** Who am I kidding, I'm already late for work, better get on to it!! This philosophy is sweeter when I'm living pointlessly in an illusion called the perfect life!! Thanks Koushik Venkatesh

Wet : Killing, Havoc and Blood trails!!

Turning to be an interesting game, WET is an action packed third person shooter/adventure/Kill-em all entertainer . Why I find the game very interesting is that its plain senseless killing!! Yea some first person shooters like Killzone 2 does quench the thirst but this is a 3rd person shooter. Form the videos : stringing acrobatic moves in slow motion firing S**T loads of lead is just plain simple entertaining! The game does have a few game modes. The regular 3rd person action mode, the Traffic surfing mode and the Kill-em-All carnage mode! The traffic surfing mode is so much like from the Matrix:Reload movie. GAMESPOT: Hands-On Trailer I'm a big Quentin Tarantino fan and Kill:Bill never made it to any console. But if this game racks some great moves, fast story and Tarantino wit ; I can't imagine how many times I would play it!! Again its a little early to tell how it will end-up but from the videos I'm really looking forward to this game! ...
