PlayStation Around the Web: What We Read

We linked to it earlier this week (and below), but I wanted to call out special attention to Platform Nation‘s charity gaming marathon – Playapalooza ‘08. The event supports Child’s Play Charity, which collects and distributes video games (and the A/V equipment needed to play them) to hospitals nationwide. We here at SCEA are supporting the cause with game donations, and you should at least take a look at the cause and see if you’d like to contribute as well.

OK, back to the matter at hand – here are the stories we read this week. Did we miss anything?
