Sony restructures, PS Network to be integrated into other Sony products

Stringer becomes Sony president - Image 1Although Sony's suffering a financial crisis, it really won't be accurate to say that the company's in bad shape. It's still a billion dollar company after all.

But its current state does demand some changes, and it looks like Howard Stringer is the one to lead the charge. He's taken up the title of President to add to his already long list of titles, and under his reign Sony will be undergoing a major organizational change.

The PlayStation group is, of course, included. According to the press release from Sony, PS boss Kazuo Hirai will become the Executive VP of the Networked Products and Services Group, but will continue on in his role as President and Group CEO of SCE.

Hirai will be consolidating the PlayStation group, the VAIO group, Walkman products, and Sony Media Software and Services. The goal is to have all of these products gain common access to the Playstation Network. Nice huh.

Around $180 for vista ultimate seems like a rip off.

Why not get a real OS from a real company like Apple and stop paying that demon bastard and his boyfriend Ballmer.

Live is in hundreds of thousands devices in the world.



Vista only sucks on an outdated PC with outdated accessories.

Really wasn't expecting this. I wonder how this will work, and what the store will evolve to.

The problem I've always had with buying an online product (like DLC) is the fact that once you've bought it, you can't sell it. I really doubt they ever would but I wish they would come up with a "used" DLC market or a trade center where people could off-load DLC they don't want anymore.

actually I can think of a way they could profit from that, maybe they could allow people to trade DLC for a fee, like $1.00 or something. Again, I doubt they'd do it since it'd keep people from paying full price for it but I wonder if it wouldn't draw more people in if they had that option.

You call what Apple produces a REAL OS? I'd rather use something which can actually run useful things without the use of "bootcamp" or whatever.
