Tokyo Game Show: Playstation 3 & PSP news
DualShock 3 announced
Everybody knew this was coming, and Sony has not released juicy information such as price. But we know the SIXAXIS controller with rumble will be called DualShock 3 and will be released in Spring 2008.

This Second Life clone was originally slated for release this year but beta testing has revealed its development is a lot slower than expected. Home could be Sony’s answer to Microsoft’s Xbox Live catering mostly to hardcore players… but it remains to see if people will invest enough time and effort to this endeavour instead of, well, playing games on the PS3.
