Heres an excerpt
For those who like their baffling confusion slathered on like cake frosting on a Jello pie, Sony Computer Entertainment has been serving up the 'Huh's in heaping portions here at TGS. First there was the keynote meeting about PlayStation that was 95% about curing Alzheimer's than it was about playing games. (By the by, if the people at Microsoft manage to make a commercial out of senile old people enjoying the heck out of 360, I'm going to have to give massive props to all of their balls.) Then there was the Nothing that followed, with seven weeks to go before this system needs to be in shopping baskets and yet no answers to critical launch questions. There were the clearly accessible PS3 features available on the menu that we weren't allowed to touch (hell, any one of us journalists were probably a button press away from revealing Sony's Xbox Live killer before Sony did). This year's IGN TGS team is going to come back home looking like linebackers with all the shoulder shrugging we've been doing.
Here's another one for the file: Sony's Technical Demo of connecting a PSP to a PS3. For those who don't like it when their heads explode, please stop reading after the following explanation: The PS3 to PSP Technical Demo showed that the console is able to transfer downloaded demos (including PS1 game downloads as well as PSP samplers) to the portable. One demo was a downloaded copy of the PS1 game Ridge Racer, the other a Loco Roco demo. Simple enough in concept, and we're eager for it.
