Sony has done something that it should have done a long time ago! They have finally launched an official blog site for the PlayStation, which is aptly titled, PlayStation.Blog. The blog will be less formal and will correspond more directly with gamers about breaking news, games and special surprises.
Patrick Seybold, Sony Playstation Senior PR Manager wrote in the blog, “It’s with enthusiasm, eagerness and, honestly, a little bit of relief that we lift the cover on our first official Sony Computer Entertainment America company blog – welcome and sorry for the wait. PlayStation.Blog is a bit of work in progress, we see it as a place where we can share with you our company’s collective insights, opinions and perspectives on all things related to SCEA, PlayStation and the industry we play in.”
Seybold also mentioned that the comments section is enabled but they have a strict comment policy. The official Playstation Blog also has a sidebar which displays content from their semi-official blog, ThreeSpeech. One more thing, what we liked about that blog is that the full name and designation of the person who posts over there is displayed.
Well, we think it is a great thing that Sony has come out with the official PlayStation Blog. Microsoft already has such blogs for the Xbox 360, the famous one being Major Nelson. So now, Nintendo is the only one out of the Big Three that doesn’t have an official blog. It would be a nice thing if they come out with a blog which is updated regularly by Reggie Fils-Aime and Shigeru Miyamoto.
