For some odd reason, I get the impression that Sony is getting a bit desperate with the Playstation 3.
Many, many moons ago I was quite a gamer. Now, not so much. But I still have a PS3, a Wii, and a GBA. I also have a PSP, but I managed to brick it while trying to get FFVII to run (in the days before its availability in the Playstation Store…read what you will into that).
These days I buy maybe one or two games each year. I just don’t have the time for that kind of solo time commitment.
Yet, somehow in spite of my lack of gaming expenditures, I still get invited to PS3 betas. Not that I’m complaining. I just find it funny that I get invited to test videogames when the chances of me actually purchasing them when they come out is just about zero.
Maybe once the NDA is lifted I’ll post about the latest PS3 beta I’m involved in. Assuming I’ve figured out what kind of game it is.
Some advice to Sony: The PS3 is a pretty spectacular piece of equipment. Release a public dev kit and open it up for development. Oh, and PLEASE get around to supporting Netflix sometime in the next year. If I have to get a 360 for this I might just have to pass on FFXIII.

Come to the dark..err…Xbox side. We steal the best parts from every new console. Including FFXIII.
