New Final Fantasy game to be revealed at E3.

I don't think it is technically a "new" FF. I believe they are gonna say that FFVersus XIII will be on the PS4 instead. And I am ok with that.

sounds good till your friends internet is shit...not Playstation fault but a reality. Also where are these videos going to be uploaded? I heard them say Killzone was going to be on their FB....so only on FB? Can we pick between choices...maybe YouTube?

You do realize Gaikai's cloud gaming setup only required a 5mbps speed to run at full speed.

Playstation App Coming to iPhone, iPad and Android
Big second screen plans.

Sony spent a lot of time at its Future of Playstation conference explaining in detail how Playstation Vita owners will be able to utilize their handheld as another option for experiencing Playstation 4 games.

On stage, other platforms like Apple's iPhone and iPad and Android handsets were only mentioned in passing. But in Sony Computer Entertainment's official press release more details were provided on what iOS and Android users have in store for them:

"A new application from SCE called 'PlayStation App' will enable iPhone, iPad, and Android- based smartphones and tablets to become second screens. Once installed on these devices, users can, for example, see maps on their second screens when playing an adventure game, purchase PS4 games while away from home and download it directly to the console at home, or remotely watch other gamers playing on their devices."

The news sounds very similar to Microsoft's SmartGlass initiative, announced at E3 2012.

Specific examples and availability details are not yet available. Sony will presumably have more to say about the second screen functionality in key PS4 titles as the console approaches its late 2013 launch.

Playstation World. The name of the new online network is going to feature 2 tiers.

Free
- Online free as the current Playstation Network
- Voice chat between all PlayStation certified devices, ie consoles and smartphones

Pay (annual cost of about $ 89.)
- Playstation Plus (included with these services previously have) enhanced new proposals, users PS4
- Access to Gaikai for cloud-gaming with the option to play for free to list some of the titles in a month, while others pay
- Share photos and / or videos directly to YouTube
- More space for saved games in the cloud

I'd have to hear more about this before I commit to purchasing the pay tier, but if we get an enhanced Playstation Plus on top of Gaikai streaming, I would gladly fork over cash for that plan.
