Today at the 2005 Game Developers Conference Europe in London, Sony's executive vice president for SCEE, Phil Harrison revealed some info about their online strategy for the PS3.

Pressed on the apparent success of Xbox Live compared to the PlayStation 2's online strategy, he indicated that the PS3 would have significant online capabilities, but stressed its nature as an 'open platform', commenting, in an obvious reference to competitor Microsoft:

"Distinct from our competitors, we are happy for publishers to make their own financial agreements directly with consumers."

They are basically trying to talk shit about xbox live. Just like they are doing with the ds and psp in europe. I think they are really scared this time.

4 - Stupid, they are

They should really focus on the important things. What's the ps3 price and what makes it better than the PC360. oh! sorry XBOX360

5 - Clever

He was complementing Xbox Live! and saying that Sony's offerings will be a bit more open (as in it will be more open to third parties to do what they want and charge ifthey want -- which won't be happening if it isn't an MMO). They will try to copy Live! (which is the best gamers can hope for) but leave it open for developers/publishers to handle things how they want to.

Why you guys are so senselessly negative is beyond me...

Seriously, stop talking crap about ps3 online. You don't even know it's features AT ALL. Once you it comes out,then you can complained or praise about it. Sony will make it better than xbox live . Making the ps3 online sucky than xbox live don't make any common sense. ANY company would want to make it's product better than the other.
