CES: Any SONY Surprises Ahead, Sonic:R Update

Sorry for the delay of any new blog posts: I took a break!

One most wonder if SONY is planning any surprises for the Consumer Electroncics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, which begins tomorrow. The annual technology-affair has usually brought new products to the stage like Mp3 players, laptops, digital cameras, and gaming accessories, but if SONY is planning to bring out that video service of there’s or take advantage of Amazon’s, then they might as well use the CES as the platform for revealing it. Last year, they disappointed us with the failed CONNECT update, but if they are really doing this video thing, CES is the perfect place to reveal/preview it and the newly-created E3 Expo is the perfect place to exhibit it.

Sonic: Rivals has truly surprised me more than any other PSP game has. I originally expected it to be a boring experience, but it has turned into one of my PSP favs. Actually, if I was to review it again, I would’ve given it a much nicer score. Either way, all of the acts & worlds are enjoyable and both complex. It is fun to see the camera move while your character moves and it is interesting to collect coins, do power-ups, and race at the same time. This game, though, will only be fun if you understand how to power-up and such. I still haven’t mastered all of the tricks and moves, as I will in the future, but the game is still minorly complex enough to be a fun experience. Almost like a kid with candy.

Meanwhile, PSPFanboy has a “theatre” for video downloads straight to your PSP from your PSP. Muy interesante, but when will we see something other than trailers? Which we can already access from everywhere else?
