When looking at the US and EU PlayStation sites, I am taken back a little in how one is superior in features over the other, namely the EU site. One would think the two regions would be collaborating with each-other or providing a single team to push changes to both sites. Instead they have their own teams for each that are pushing their own changes to the PlayStation sites. What this does is allow an inconsistent design across regions, and allow one region of users to get features before another region. We should be used to that right? Here is a breakdown of some things I noticed between the two and why I vastly prefer the EU services:

Impressions: inFAMOUS Day 2
Yes, there was no day 1 post but there is a day 2. I finally got inFAMOUS on the 27th but I only got to put about an 1hr or so in it. Yesterday, I played for a couple of more hours and I am having a ton of fun.
E3 Blackout
Every year it feels as if I should put myself on a E3 blackout. Why? Well, there are always company leaks leading up to it. Typically, I hate surprises because a surprise to me is actually a setup or trick from a friend which puts me into a moment of rage but I digress. When it comes to big events such as E3, I want to be surprised about what the company will talk about. I want to be surprised at what the company will show, even if I may think they will show it. What depresses me is when people start leaking product information, or start recording practice conferences so they can leak to Youtube.
PSN Anywhere
Sony’s 08 fiscal year numbers went up and afterwards a slew of goals were released. One interesting enough was that Sir Howard Stringer stated the PS3 would become a platform for web services and to expand the PSN to other hardware devices. Interesting.
