In lieu of this week's "Notes from a Vista User," which I'm still writing, I decided to switch gears a little bit. My topics this week come straight from the news. Sony's Playstation 3 is edging its way closer within the reach of the masses with its recent $100 price cut. Sony's 80GB Playstation 3 introduction in August can be seen as competition for Microsoft's XBox 360 Elite. Is it worth the price tag of $599? Should Sony even be worried? In other news, Sony also released information on a new PSP model. Is it worth the repricing? TV-Out is nice and all, but is it worth the loss of homebrew as well? We also have E3 this year, where most of these announcements have come from. Of the many things that's been said about E3 this year is that it's much smaller than previous years. Is this the end for E3?
