Sony To World: "Stop Talking About PS3!"
Sometimes CEOs say surprising things. Take David Reeves of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe for instance. While speaking at ELSPA's International Games Summit in London last week, Reeves declared that the Sony PlayStation 3 is going "underground" until next year. You heard the man: no more talk of this PS3 nonsense. Everyone go pick up a new PlayStation 2, I guess, and stock up on PlayStation Portables while you can.
"I told the troops: OK now we go underground. The PS3 goes underground until it comes out next year."
But I kid David Reeves. Sony's looking to keep the PS3 overload on hold until they're actually ready to release a product to the marketplace. If everyone becomes weary of PS3 coverage well before the final product is ready, then Sony can't expect to drum up a media maelstrom next year. Besides, the PS2 is just breaking into new markets in some places. Sony estimates that the aging console has only completed 10% of its lifespan in Iran. No, seriously. There's a Sony office in Iran. Stop laughing!

Oh please, american schools are some of the safest in the world. You are more likely to be killed in 2 commercial plane crashes then to be killed in a public school.

Would that be killed on 2 commerical plane crashes caused by Iranian terrorists? Who learned how by playing "Suicide bomber 3?"

You'd certainly be killed after 2 commercial plane crashes yes.

Or is that an Iranian comercial airline masquerading as a Mig 29 ! But then Americains are good at those sort of 'easy' mistakes....

They play Electronic Arts new game: Sim-Reactor. In which you have to develop a nuclear power program before the Americans and Israelis destroy it.
Extra points for disgusing a nuclear weapons program within it.
Boss points for detonating an A-bomb in Washington.

American schools certainly are the safest in the world! They have safely eliminated such dangerous concepts as thinking, originality and learning.

I'm disgusted. This is a video game website, talking about ps3. No wonder we got wars going on. We got morons in America. Sorry Iran.

I agree with ^. You Americans are a bunch of morons. Ignorant bastards.

I suppose what I remember fearing most in school is getting daily beatdowns from huge jocks w/ no repercussions from administration. This sort of thing in America is ignored. I never thought school shootings could happen in the rural area where I live. I'm not even aware of a single metal detector in any school in our state... Anyways, long story short - this kid by the name of Kip Kinkle freaked out and murdered his classmates and then his parents less than 25 miles away from where I live in Oregon.
OK... back on topic - I for one will not be able to put PS3 in the back of my mind until it comes out. I enjoyed saving for PSP and a ton of accessories and games in the months before launch as I drooled over every new tidbit I heard about it. Likely, I will do the same w/ PS3! Especially considering I'm thinking I'll need to save about $900 to get hooked up proper w/ PS3 as opposed to $450 w/ PSP.

It´s about time Sony opens an Office in Brazil. They have been here for years, selling millions of every kind of product they have, EXCEPT videogames. Hmmm... maybe 20 million potential buyers is not enough people for them... :-P

Yes, we got morons, but that's not all of us Americans. I'm sure you got your fill of Iranian morons too. Get over it. So.. when will the Ps3 and Xbox 360 be coming out???
