Sounds awesome, I am really interested to see what the PlayStation Suite will offer.

user94220774817d ago

We'll see... PS Suite is really interesting so it may very well do so

Godmars2904817d ago

For some stupid reason I'm still looking for GoogleTV to be announced as a killer app for the PS3. Be it via software or a dongle.

Sev4817d ago

I would love to see that. Been wanting that for a long time.

blackpanther254817d ago

I'm with you on that MARS.....it will most likely be a dongle with two hdmi ports

Godmars2904817d ago

Yeah, but it'll have to be a $99 PlayTV/Trone add-on versus the $300(?) set box w/keyboard Logtech offers. Maybe why we haven't see a cheaper alternative.

Still, as a software app for the PS3, it would be a major win for both Google and Sony. Less so, far less, than an add-on.

Taggart4514817d ago

Very interesting. I'm actually expecting the near future to completely replace traditional tv. I mean, between Netflix, Hulu Plus, and the prospect of GoogleTV, it's crazy what could happen. Hooray to progess!

NJShadow4817d ago

At some point I'll be able to afford a TV that supports Google TV and honestly weigh in on the situation. =P

My favorite moment is when he turned the Sony ship around resulting in almost the utter destruction of their opponent in every important metric you can come up with that shut the mouths of the opposition and the naysayers that Sony would not be in the driver's seat. Resulting in worthless metrics from other parties to cover up the truth.

My most favorite moment.

timotim1765d ago

He had some zingers for sure. Love that guy.

DillyDilly1765d ago

No Ridge Racer mentions

You guys suck

Bismarn1765d ago

I have a lot of favorite Kaz Hirai moments, but it's inappropriate to mock him at this retirement.

it's ridge racer

bouzebbal1765d ago

He was an amazing exec..
His English was perfect, he excels at communicating.

hiredhelp1766d ago

He actually was... I no longer own playstation since start ps4 as retired back to PC but dam there was something about kaz I loved...

specialguest1765d ago (Edited 1765d ago )

The same with me. I owned the PS3 and retired back to PC during the start of the PS4.

Too me it felt like the end of an era for console gaming as a whole after the PS3 generation.

BLizardXD1766d ago (Edited 1766d ago )

In short it depends on how kaz made gaming more attractive to you. speaking purely from my perspective -

I considered Ken kutaragi as part of my A-team, next to Hayao Nakayama, Shigeru Miyamoto, followed by peter moore in the US. I particularly viewed Kaz Hirai as part of the catalyst for pushing games to be closer to movies in oder to be considered AAA.

a good thing you ask? yes and no, leading all the way to the future. instead of games being designed to be entertaining games are being pushed to meet hardware expectations. it sounded great at first but now it's buckling the industry unfortunately. which is why sony was a no show this E3. with more games needing to meet hardware expectations fewer games will be produced in a much longer development cycle.

it all depends though on how their gaming devision made games more attractive to you. we have moved in the direction of graphics mattering to not mattering back to mattering. and all of this is at the cost of games needing to be longer in development.

my two cents.

OB1Biker1765d ago

I don't know why you have so many disagrees. From many perspectives serious or funny or even with memes and parody, hes become a legend I would say.

zodiac9091765d ago

This is N4G mate, the community is a Sh*t show above all else...I got my account suspended for a month for saying Days Gone did not look too good in terms of graphics. This site is a joke, especially in terms of rules.

Imalwaysright1765d ago

I don't understand why you got so many disagrees.

Neonridr1765d ago

2pacalypsenow1766d ago

Enjoy your retirement.

You've earned it.
