My husband played the demo for Heavy Rain earlier this week. It was a lot better than the trailer makes it look. We're definitely picking it up!
Playstation 3 virtual world delayed
Taking place this week is Tokyo Game Show, one of the largest video game conventions in the world. Sony president, Hirai Kazuo, announced on Thursday that they will be delaying the launch of 'Home,' the Playstation 3 virtual world service. While the service was originally intended to be released this year, it is now pushed pack to spring 2008. "Home" is an interactive world where players create an avatar in order to do a variety of things, such as setting up their own rooms, playing games with other users and watching movie trailers. Sony hopes that the service will bring about new forms of advertising as well as electronic shopping.

Finding a place in cyberspace
I'm not really sure what I want to do with this space yet. I already have a ton of different blogs for different things. I have a music blog and a jdorama blog and a personal blog. So what do I want to do here? I suppose I can post about geeky type news things but that is kinda boring and you can get news in a ton of other places. I guess I'll just play it by hand until I get a good feeling for this place.
On the geeky news front, Sony has dropped the price of the PS3 by $100. We still don't plan on buying one. Maybe if it were to drop a bit farther or if something truly amazing came out on it. As it is, we are really happy with the Xbox 360 and Wii we currently have.
