Is Sony looking to launch playstation phone? Madcatz takes over Take-Two divison


Rumors abound that Sony Ericsson is upping the mobile phone competition, recently brought to a head by Apple's successful launch of the iphone, by introducing a playstation-themed gaming phone.

According to PocketGamer.com, spokesman Peter Ahnegard from Sony Ericsson hedged, “It’s obviously something that we’re looking at but right now I can’t really comment. Before Christmas, certainly … but exactly which Christmas I can’t confirm”.

Projected launch date for the playstation-themed phone from Sony is prior to February of next year.

In other news, on Friday Take-Two announced it was selling off its videogame accessories division, Joytech, to Mad Catz, known for their third-party accessories and console controllers.

Take-Two is the publisher of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV and the just-released contender for Game of the Year, BioShock.

Whoa! PS 3 20G is HISTORY ALREADY??!!!



First, we heard this:

When Joystiq spoke with Sony’s David Karraker earlier this week he told us, Overwhelmingly, retailers have been requesting the 60GB model, the mix has been about 80 percent 60GB, 20 percent 20GB retailer orders.” With Best Buy’s decision to no longer carry the unit, a major retailer has walked away from the 20GB table, obviously the margins were better on the 60GB model. Sony says they are still producing 20GB models


[via Joystiq]

BUT NOW? Hot off the presses, folks! According to Joystiq, Best Buy has decided to CANCEL any orders for the PS 3 20G due to underwhelming demand. Here's the printout to prove it:
