Sony, Saving the Big Guns for Europe.

Sony has always been big in Europe. Since the PS1 era, the Playstation brand has always dominated console gaming in that region. At Leipzig Games Convention 08, Sony announced the 160GB PS3, PSP3000 and a wireless keyboard attachment among other things. These are some pretty big announcements so why at Leipzig and not E3? The events are so close together, you can't really tell me that Sony didn't have these things ready for E3. I guess the only conspiracy theory inspired explanation is that Europe loves Sony and Leipzig is Europe's E3. It makes sense if you look at it from that perspective - I just feel a little ripped off. We get a boring ass speech about the life of the PS2 and Europe gets three hardware announcements, c'mon Sony, that Heavy Rain trailer would have been more exciting then that PS2 "sizzle" trailer.

Aside from Sony spoiling their favorite child, Europe, I have got back into Rock Band with a buddy of mine. I play Drums and right now I can play everything on Medium and some early gay songs on Hard. He plays Expert guitar on almost everything except a few Metal ones that look just insane. We were playing some Clouds Over California by Devil Driver *metal horns* and the game froze for a second. You know the optical illusion crap on the net where you stare at something and then you look away and you see the imprint or close your eyes and the design is still moving. Well that sort of happened to me when the game froze. I'm so used to seeing the notes fly by on screen and the flashy lights during the double-kicks that when the screen froze it looked like the whole image on the TV was floating slightly. I thought it looked pretty cool. By the way, play Too Human, don't listen to the haters - the game is fun.
