The PS3 is the three-legged horse in this generation’s console race – last out of the gate, it’s constantly fallen behind it’s competitors. The 360? Yup. That’s sold more units. The Wii? That’s sold PLENTY more units. Does this bother Sony? Not so according to SCEA’s Senior VP of Marketing Peter Dille. “I think it’s already well publicized that we …

The Playstation 3 is the most expensive console on the market at the moment. We know that, Sony knows that – and most importantly, the third-party devs and publishers know that. Well, those 3rd party fellas have had enough of it, and are pressuring Sony to reduce the price of its black, Blu-ray capable megalith. Janco Partners soothsayer Mike Hickey …

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe confirmed today that the demo for highly touted and much anticipated Killzone 2 will appear on the PSN store this Thursday, February 5th. The demo will contain the first two sections of “Corinth River” as well as the tutorial present in the retail version. Killzone 2, in the unlikely case you need to be reminded, is …

Not content with just hyping their games, Sony seem to be reverting back to pre-PS3 launch levels of smack talking. They also seem to be imbibing a bit of the electric kool-aid, with Sony Computer Entertaining President Kaz Hirai waxing delusional.

Here is something interesting. It seems that Universal Pictures and Sony have signed a deal to make a whole bunch of crazy new vending machines that will contain not Blu-rays, DVD's, games and all other sorts of media. At the moment, the vending machines are only planned for the UK. According to a report from Stuff.tv: "The PoP “entertainment vending machine” is a brand new venture between Universal Pictures and Sony entertainment to allow punters to grab their favourite DVDs, Blu-ray discs, PS3 games and downloads 24/7." At launch, they plan to have 150 movie titles available. What I think is really great is that you will also be able to download music and movies directly to your MP3/movie straight from the machine and even watch trailers to help you decide if the movie is worth the purchase. When they arrive, they will be available in cinemas, universities, gyms and some travel stations. A new era for software distribution maybe? All I know is that they had better have those things bolted down to the floor pretty tightly.

Images from a patent application from Sony have made their way onto the internet showing off an incredibly odd looking controller device that looks to somehow also involve the PS-Eye. While a patent doesn't mean that it is actually going to come out, it is a possibility that Sony is working on something rather different here in an attempt to break into the casual market that the Wii has so easily eaten up. A break-controller has been rumored for ages now and so this may be what all the fuss is about. I have posted up a whole bunch of extra drawings of the device and how it works after the jump.
