Phil Harrisons GDC Keynote details

So it seems Phil’s keynote has been leaked….

The few things that I think are interesting and am looking forward to getting more information on would be the PlayStation Lifestyle and the movies option.

The Lifestyle idea seems to be loosely based on the current mySpace and YouTube type websites. I am not sure how they are going to put that together to beat anything that is already on the internet but there you go.

I wonder if us mortals in South Africa will be allowed to download full movies through the system. Yeah I realise the bandwidth charges would be higher than buying the DVD and DVD Player for each movie but at least it’s another option for getting your movie fix….

More details after the jump
