Because I needed a new PC for school and I was too poor to afford an Apple product, I purchased a Dell Dimensions PC. Oh man was this thing a beast 5 years ago. Celeron 2.53ghz and 512mb ram. Whatch out! Today this bad boy rocks the same specs with 1.25gb of ram. Hot stuff.

Today that all changes. My first time PC budget build will give me 4 cores, 4 gig of ram, and the biggest smile I could ever have.

Now Sony is renaming Sony Computer Entertainment to Sony Network Entertainment Platform only to absorb the company into Sony and then split off its Gaming business into a new company called Sony Computer Entertainment while Sony Network Entertainment, SCEA, SCEE, and SCEI watches from abroad.

Yeah.

I had two thoughts when seeing this;

  1. Oh my god, this is amazing!
  2. I would love to play a game using this!

I stopped playing Sonic after Sonic and Knuckles. I skipped all the 3D Sonics because…well, you know why. I really want to believe in this but I just can’t given the past history. What do you think?

I don’t even know. I just know that I have been very busy for the past couple of months and everything else and sorta taken a back seat. I should be getting back into the groove of things shortly.

In this post, I really didn’t say anything of worth. As usual.

Qriocity is their On-Demand video service, akin to Microsoft’s Instant 1080P streaming service for the Xbox 360, that is speculated to release Feb 2010. Unfortunately, no one knows if this will be heading to the PS3 but one can imagine (hope) that it will. Instant streaming is certainly welcome as it is something I have wanted from the video store, besides lower prices, for a while now. I will say it again, if I can get a comparable OR decent monthly subscription plan to their video store, I will drop Netflix.

Anyway, watch the video below and follow through to SonyInsider to read their impressions. From video alone, the UI is nice. Also, for comparisons sake, Microsoft’s Instant 1080p streaming service determines the connection and scales the video content while playing. It certainly does cut out the load time.

Trauma Center is one of my favorite Wii games and it is certainly a game that I can never get tired of playing. With the removal of the timer and making the game easier overall, I just hope it doesn’t suffer too bad as I loved the challenge the previous Trauma titles brought.

PSNStores, a site dedicated to PlayStation Store releases for various regions, has taken a look back at what released in 2009.  One such category is PSN PS3 game releases for 2009. It would seem that North America had a slight lead in total number of PSN PS3 releases for 2009. PSNStores counts 75 releases.

Take a look at the site and the various categories to see what was released in the various PlayStation Store regions for 2009.

PSNStores.

This a feature that the PS3 supports but sadly no games support it outside of Unreal Tournament 3. Penguin United is looking to improve PS3 users FPS experience by giving them a way to bypass the controller and map the keys to their keyboard and mouse. I say, if you go that far, why not just play it on a PC? We’ll find out more from CES this week.
