Sony has lost $4.7 billion this year...
ps3, sony ps3,
Sony's recently released FY Q2 2009 financial report, which included not such pretty numbers for invertors. The loss is from the company's "networked products and services" which included video games hardware and software sales.  The biggest impact was the decrease of PS2 hardware and software unit sales. PS3 has lost Sony $4.965 billion! That sure is a big number, but it's not that bad if you look at other system.
Some of the good news; since the price drop, ps3 has been doing great! PS3 is outselling Xbox 360 and other consoles! Since the new 'Slim Ps3' "the differece between sales and materials cost has been reduced to between 10 and 20%. Within the year, it could be in the single digits." Sony CFO Nobuyuki Oneda later added, "we'll be able to reach profitability at some point in the next term." I think he is absolutely right! PS3 sales jumped 800,000 year-over-year with the launch of the slim.
 
 
Naughty Dog showed this picture, now what would it make you think?
Uncharted 2, skeleton,
When I first saw this picture, I was all like, "OMG! Skeleton-zombie-helghast looking thing is coming to Uncharted 2". As it turns out, it not it. This was just a little joke developers decided to play on us. What will actually happen is they will fix some bugs in the multiplayer. Also, for those who are not really into Halloween and will be playing Uncharted 2 while little kids knock on your door to get some candy; this is great news. You will receive DOUBLE cash while playing online all weekend! If you don't have Uncharted 2 yet, GET IT! This game is amazing, loved every part of campaign and I do enjoy the multiplayer.

JOYSTIQ has found some details on the news, here are the questions and answers:

Joystiq: Was the PS3 application developed internally by Netflix? 

Netflix: Yes, with the help of the Sony team.

Can the Netflix application be installed to the PS3 hard dive from the disc? Or must the disc be inserted every time a user wants to access Netflix?
Yes, the Netflix disc has to be inserted every time to access the Netflix service. 

Why a disc-based application and not streaming access through the PS3 browser? 

Netflix members and PS3 owners have really wanted a way to instantly watch movies and TV episodes streamed from Netflix via the PS3 system. The instant streaming disc represented the fastest and easiest way to let them do this. 

Why not distribute the application via PSN download or firmware update, and then embed it into the XMB?

Again, the instant streaming disc represented the fastest and easiest way to let PS3 enthusiasts get Netflix on the PS3. Late next year we expect to have an embedded solution available for PS3s via a system software update slated for release through the PlayStation Network. 

Is releasing the PS3 application on a disc required by an exclusivity agreement with Microsoft? 

The Netflix agreement with Sony for PS3 is consistent with the terms of our partnership with Microsoft for Xbox 360. Our goal is to give members the opportunity to instantly watch movies streamed from Netflix via the widest variety of Netflix ready devices. All of our partners are aware of our goal. 

Is any new content being added to the Netlfix streaming catalog alongside this announcement? 

We are constantly adding content to better serve our members, however we did not announce new content alongside the PS3 announcement. 

Can users search the entire Netflix streaming library from the PS3? (On Xbox 360, browsing is currently limited to 100-movie categories.)

Similar to Xbox, subscribers can search lists of movies in categories such as New Releases, Drama, Action, Comedy, etc., and will have access to the entire library available to watch instantly. 

Will special features typically found on DVD and Blu-ray discs (e.g., additional audio tracks, director commentary, etc.) be available through the PS3 application? 

No.

Is there any difference between the content catalog available on PS3 versus Xbox 360? 

No.

Does the PS3 application include any features that aren't in the Xbox 360 application? 

No.

Are there more features being planned for a future update?

Again, late next year we expect to have an embedded solution available for PS3s via a system software update slated for release through the PlayStation Network.

Finally, what's the update on a Netflix application for Wii? 

Certainly, the Wii represents a great opportunity given the size of its installed base, but we have nothing specific to say about it at this point. The Xbox partnership has been terrific for Netflix members, and we're equally excited to announce the partnership with PS3.
 
 
Sony has definitely been stepping up! The system now is really affordable, slimmer, and cool updates are always on the way. Now you can watch hundreds of movies every month for just $8.99! As I understand this, the movies will be in HD and all you have to do is download it. The first few months we will have to use a Netflix CD instead of a program installed on your PS3. You can even manage your streaming query right from you PS3, no need to use a computer. I personally think this is an awesome idea and Netflix will get a lot more customers ones its released! If you already have a membership with Netflix; you are in luck, it costs NOTHING to get it on your PS3.
Free PSN Cards.

Soon this sweet system will be availalbe in US. This was available to other countries, but now its in US as well. Only for 350 dollars you can get a 250 gig slim PS3! I personally thing is an amazing deal and definetely worth the price tag. I paid 445 dollars for my 40gb 'fat' ps3 and I'm super happy with it. I have been using it for a year now and its a great system. Here is what some people said about this deal:

       "Wow...that's a great deal."
       "That's it I'm buying another PS3."
       "I was thinking of getting a PS3 and now I'm ready to tap... buy one."

I couldn't believe this, but its true! 80gb PS3 was on sale for only 250 dollars. Remember when PS3 was the most expensive console? Not its the cheapest one! I paid over 400 dollars for my 40gb one and now you can get double the space at almost half the price! Sony has been really great lately and I bet they will sell a lot more consoles. Soon enough, ps3 will have more users! More people to play with more, people to beat at Call Of Duty! Who is with me?
