It seems a lot is going to happen this year, however it is strange that nobody mentioned Killzone2 :rolleyes:

I hope is that they add Flash v9 support to the browser soon.

No mention of GTA IV at all. I find that to be a bit strange.

What does GTA IV have to do with PlayStation Network? How about Home instead of GTA IV?

An excellent point. The point I was making is that they referred to several upcoming games as being in "countdown mode"; GTA IV is one of these. But you are correct, any information on Home would be nice.

speed it up so it doesn't take 5-10 minutes to grab a 50mb item off the store, that's all I ask.

The official blog rarely (if ever) makes mention of a game that is not 1st or 2nd party.

Our primary goal with PLAYSTATION Network is to form an evolving entertainment network where the PlayStation community can gather and discover new forms of entertainment...

Community-related services available via PlayStation Network have also been a big focus for enhancements here in 2008. We know you want in-game access to XMB features and we’re committed to bringing that, among other community-related services this year. They will be designed to allow more community development and collaborative gameplay, as well as recognize and reward you for your gameplay accomplishments across a broad portfolio of PS3 games. Of course, 2008 will also see the launch of PlayStation Home, and we’ll have more announcements on the expanding community functions within PLAYSTATION Network in the near future, so stay tuned.

Well, that's technically HOME information :p

And to wrap up with one of the many topics I know you ask about regularly, we are rolling out the PlayStation Cards to retailers nationwide as we speak. They will have the PlayStation Cards in denominations of $20 and $50 starting this spring. This will provide you with another option to get on board with the PLAYSTATION Store and enjoy the content that I’ve outlined above.

Been looking forward to those.

I just thought that a big budget game like KZ2 would get mentioned in the great expectations list for 2008.

I really hope this game lives up to the promises/expectations set. :(

Didn't mention Motorstorm 2 either and they own them now. I wouldn't look too much into it.

I wouldn't be surprised. Especially after giving MS a hard time for leveraging all their assets early. With Resistance 2 on the way this year, I'd prefer they take their time and make Killzone a quality title for 09.

I believe all the ones he mentioned will be available for download VIA the PS Store. Don't freak out, we all know what's coming.

I'm not saying a slip isn't a possibility, but on an episode of GTTV the dude who took over for Phil Harrison guaranteed that Killzone 2 would be out this year. Again, not saying a slip isn't possible, but right now the official word is still September.

Yeah same here. I don't ever let consoles have my credit card info. Once they have it they never want to let go of it.
