can't wait to see what this is all about.

ill wait for more info before i get all excited

Gamesblow has said the following:

"The main gist on this kick ass, revolutionary, feature that will send the PS3 miles ahead of the competition.

The short and sweet of it all --

PSN-connect is literally right out of a si-fi movie. You use the eyetoy in conjunction with the sixaxis controller and never have to leave what you’re doing for a menue or an option.

you simply grab and pull and drop and initiate all your XMB options on the fly... move them out of the way and resume playing your game or movie at will. It was absolutely stunning to watch this demonstration in motion.

Messaging a friend in game was as easy as pulling the menu into view using a free hand. Bringing up various functions and features of the PS3 were a snap and easily navigated on the fly in real time, all using your hands and nothing else. No buttons whatsoever.

Once your task is completed, simply push it aside and start playing again. It was that easy. It looked absolutely next gen and nothing on the xbox 360 or wii will be able to top this feature. Nothing.

Forget in game xmb, folks. This is the future... sure you’ll need an eyetoy to enjoy this at its maximum potential, but using the sixaxis for navigation was pretty slick too. Albeit, not as slick...

Think Minority report, only... you’re not a complete Ham like Tom Cruise is, right? It was about like that, only not as high tech of course. This, we’re told, is only the tip of the ice berg when using PS3 in conjunction with the eyetoy and what Sony has planned for 2010.

Stay successful, folks.

EDIT: PSN-connect is hitting this year, mind you... not in 2010... They have something even bigger planned for 2010."

Hmmmm sounds interesting , no?

Something big is coming i can feel it in me waters!

I never cared for Sony Connect, because of ATRAC. I would much rather have mp3's and, if not, iTunes. One of my recurring criticisms of Sony is their proprietary formats, don't forget about the UMD and the memory stick,

Still it can be anything. And true, Sony is every much as innovative as Nintendo, maybe more. That's why I roll with them.

SEV shut the phuck up. your a worthless piece of cr@p...spreading lies like there's no tomorrow.

For XBL which i stopped using even with party chat and the little features it has over PSN, I was very DISSAPPOINTED just for the fact that im paying for p2p service which even shows in the 360's biggest BLOCKBUSTER titles such as halo 3 & gears. Come on if every ps3 exclusive uses dedicated servers why cant MS atleast do the same for there BIG EXCLUSIVES? I mean geez we pay for this service on XBL & we arent getting our moneys worth for it.

I cant ever see MS making XBL free because why in the hell would they if ppl keep paying? This is why i dont understand how ANY 360 OWNER can sit there & let MS milk the crap out of u while u PRETEND its the GREATEST SERVICE ever made.

awesome..

But I hate hearing stuf like this and then waiting ages to find out the answer =P

I would love to be able to access PSN from any computer or device to get content and other stuff.

psn is getting better theres no denying that

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
