SCEA: No PSP/PS3 announcements for US Posted by XanTium | 22-8-2007 19:10 EST

From gamesindustry.biz: [QUOTE] Following Sony's recent Leipzig GC announcements, SCEA has indicated that they are still evaluating the services for the North American market. In Leipzig, SCEE announced a voice chat, video chat, and instant messaging service named Go! Messenger. While it will continue to expand the capabilities of the PSP via firmware upgrades, SCEA has not made any announcements for this type of service in the US. The PSP satellite navigation peripheral, named Go! Explore, is currently available in Japan and select countries in Europe. Before considering the product for a North American launch, an SCEA spokesperson told GamesIndustry.biz "[We] want to ensure there is the appropriate level of software that would be applicable and bring value to the consumers in North America." SCEE also unveiled PlayTV, a TV tuner and PVR accessory. At this time, SCEA has no announcements for similar PS3 DVR capabilities in North America either. [/QUOTE] Full Story: gamesindustry.biz
