No PS3 gameplay in Taipei
Despite the flurry of launch news in the past couple days, the PS3 remains unplayable and behind glass. And the boomerang is back!
FULL STORY:
Just like the Consumer Electronics Show, which was held in Las Vegas in January, there was hope for the Taipei Game Show. Not as much hope, but still a glimmer or two. So much for that.
The PS3 is indeed on display at the Taiwan expo, but it’s still unplayable and behind glass, the same thing we saw at CES. And the “boomerang controllers suck” crew suffered a setback — the boomerang has returned for Taipei after its conspicuous absense from Vegas.
Sony did make a comment about releasing the PS3 “when it’s ready,” or some such doublespeak, but most interestingly, they claim to be taking on piracy as their biggest competitor (rather than Microsoft). We’ll get to that in a bit.
