Sony finally making money on PS3 hardware; no price cut in foreseeable future
Jun 30th
Sony has confirmed that, for the first time since its original debut, the PS3 is finally making them money. A long standing joke among gamers, until now the console has cost Sony more to produce than they’ve been able to sell it for; according to Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony’s Worldwide Studios, “This year is the first time that we are able to cover the cost of the PlayStation 3.” ”We aren’t making huge money from hardware,” he told IGN , “but we aren’t bleeding like we used to.” Still, that doesn’t mean gamers should expect Sony to slash the PS3 price from its current $299

Is Sony developing PlayTV2? And will we get to play in the states?
Jun 1st
Sure, it’s only one word in a long and involved interview, but according to Sony Cambridge Studio’s Mark Green (who’s been talking shop with Spong ) it seems that a little something called PlayTV2 is in the works. “We’re still working on PlayTV , PlayTV 2,” he says, while the shop has “other guys working on other concepts.” And while that’s all well and good, but is there any chance that the digital tuner / DVR for PS3 might make it to the states some time soon

PlayStation 3′s 3D implementation explained, may require upscaling and reduction in detail to work
Apr 23rd
It was only a couple of days ago that Sony flicked the switch on 3D compatibility for the PS3 — albeit without retail games that can yet exploit it — so what better time to dig into the nitty gritty details of the company’s implementation of the third dimension? Digital Foundry have done just that, starting off with a discussion of how Sony translated WipEout HD from 2D into 3D . Noting that the original version ran at 1080p, Sony’s senior development manager Simon Benson explains that notching resolution down to 720p opened up some pixel processing overhead (one 1080p stream requires nearly 2.1 million pixels, whereas a duo of 720p images is around 1.85 million in total), while reducing the refresh rate to 30Hz allowed the devs the breathing room to complete the extra geometric calculations required by 3D
