LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Sony Corp. has revealed little about its upcoming PlayStation 3 online service to rival Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox Live, but an upcoming offering from the Japanese giant's online game division may hint at its direction.
So. That's 'has revealed little', not Revealed a little. And then the Reuters journo is making a leap to something that MAY be a hint, but may also not.
Sony
Online Entertainment in July will debut a service, known by its working
title LaunchPad, which provides users access to several of its online
PC games. PC, not console
LaunchPad, which ties together several programs already
offered by Sony, will also consolidate lists of players' friends from a
variety of the company's games, support chat and provide downloads of
new game content and trinkets. Also, it will offer a single point where
players can manage payments and link
to other Sony-run sites carrying
player rankings and information.
Which is exactly what Launchpad does just now.
"It's not going to stop at the PC," said Nathan Pearce, a
creative director at SOE, which is a subsidiary of Sony Pictures
Digital. And yet he doesn't then go on to say "because next we're coing to the PS3...which you'd kind of expect him to do.
At the debut, LaunchPad will connect users to Sony's
"EverQuest," "The Matrix Online," "Star Wars Galaxies," "PlanetSide"
and "EverQuest II." Unlimited play of all five games through a Sony
Station Access subscription plan costs $24.99 a month.
Sony also will add "Vanguard: Saga of Heroes" to the LaunchPad lineup this winter, Pearce said.
Still not earthshattering news. Anyone know if V:SoH was being coded for console?
Games
Again, nothing new there, that's just rehashing what LP already does..on LaunchPad will constantly update to computers with live online
connections so subscribers can go straight into play rather than
waiting for new information to download every time they boot up. The
service uses technology from Microsoft that transfers files using
leftover bandwidth, ensuring uninterrupted computer use.
So, where's the bit where he says "And of course that means consoles...."
*********************
So, you all sat in camps and that was fun?
*********************
Oh I know... I trust Reutoers completely.. Being they interviewed Sony Execs... Im saying that the people on the forums are trying to spin it by saying read it carefully, they are not being clear.. Crap like that...

Read it how you want.. The articvel is about the PS3... If it were not going to be able to access the launchpad, why bring it into the article as well... The article is about the PS3... Its about the Launchpad, and the gamnes already on it...

Sony's "LaunchPad" hints to PS3 online strategy
And here's the "hint":"It's not going to stop at the PC," said Nathan Pearce, a

I knew this after reading and watching the Sony Corp Strategy here -
http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/info/Strategy/index.html
In addition to the electronics side, one main goal is to focus on the PS3 and have all other divisions support the PS3.
Anynomous SOE employee stated "We just love lying to our customers. We even take bets on how long until they figure out we're screwing them over. They're so stupid they'll gobble up anything we say."
Wow... now im being attacked on the forums.. The fanbois crack me up...

And they argue that it isn't set up for the PS3 because it is WINDOWS based. Sony has been using scaled back Windows in their plans for PS3 since they announced it. What's it called.. Windows ME? LE? Whatever they put in celphones and refrigerators and every other damn thing except a mac.

Hi,
I wish you had too, not to mention I wish I had done it as well...lol. This really pisses me off for some reason [even though is been suspected for a while that this would happen.] Maybe, it has to do with the fact Smedly and others said they decided not to go through with this and now we see they are. Now I really wish someone could sue these guys, since it was just an out-n-out lie they made in a list of lies. ..Grrr...I mean this is just insulting to us...Amazing....lol.
IMO,
Tauceti
SOE knows what you like... You don't!
And don't forget... I am forcing you to read this!
