    Sony to fly off the handle in 3..2..1..

    **Phil Harrisons GDC Keynote details inside**

    Details from Phil Harrison- Sony Computer Worldwide Studios
    Keynote at GDC March 7th 2007:

    Anouncements:

    Firmware update available on the 8th for North America/Japan and Asia. European PS3's will be preloaded with this latest update.

    Features of this latest firmware include:

    More refined PS Store frontend
    Playstation Network integrity enhanced
    Wallpapers from pictures
    Ability to change background colours
    Sony Connect Store for music and movies added to the PS Store. Hundreds of trailers/full films/song videos and mps3's available for download.
    Playstation Card option in PS Store enabled.
    Playstation Lifestyle- Similar to my space/youtube. User generated content and experiences are the key.
    + more.

    Removal of Emotion Engine chips in PS3's in NA and Japan to follow in April. Reason for this is to reduce costs and focus on enhanced opportunities via software. Benefits include the ability to upscale selected PSone/PS2 games to 1080i/720p.

    Lots of development talk.

    I knew it! I knew it! Sony was going to use the Europe market as a front to introduce backwards compatable software in Japan/US. You know what this means, right? There is going to be a hell of a time finding a emulated version in a sea of chip versions.

    MK2 Arcade is a perfect choice. MK2 was my favourite MK so far, and I bet most fans will agree with me. The Ultimate MK3 port on 360 was somewhat dissappointing. The controller didn't feel right either , not the stretched image. I don't want retro games in HD :(
