Sony Displays PS3 But Leaves It Turned Off

Remember the game Simon Says? Sony said: No playable PS3 games at Leipzig. But Sony also said: 27 playable PS3 games at the Tokyo Game Show next month.

But what about the hardware? The Inquirer reported yesterday that they got to see “what Sony claims to be the final production prototype of the Playstation 3 console.” But the console wasn’t on because Sony didn’t “want to show the live demo as there is a hidden secret feature that Sony doesn’t want to show off yet.” There was a live demo using the developers’ machines, but there was nothing from or the actual machine that is supposed to ship out this November.

We’re hoping that Sony will come out with an announcement or something big soon. I’m finding it hard to write PS3 articles when all I have to show is just another picture of the machine turned off (I’m so desperate to flesh out this “no news is good news” article that I’ve had to rely on exclamation marks! lots!!!).

Maybe Sony is hoarding all the surprises for the Tokyo Game Show? Are they trying to punish the world for the lukewarm reception following E3? But PS3 fans deserve better than that. PS3 fans don’t agree that “no news is good news.” Sony will have to break the silence before November whether they’re ready to or not.

Agree? Disagree? Discuss!
