Sony dismisses European launch rumors, but...

Okay, so, this is going to be a shot in the dark and most likely 100% wrong, but we've got an idea to present. First, though, the news. ThreeSpeech has been circulating some rumors regarding the European PS3 launch -- the actual date, firmware updates, add-ons, etc. The firmware update rumor is the most interesting (and most viable): the update would allow multi-tasking and the Remote Play option (or... increased functionality of that option). Multi-tasking would be great. Waiting for those downloads is a pain. Also of note is the idea that only the 60GB version will be available at GPB 425 or less. To all of these, Sony has dismissed as speculation or declined to comment. Take your pick.

What's the idea? It's true. Maybe not all of it, but the multi-tasking and the availability seem likely. Why? Well, ThreeSpeech gets a lot of crap for the "semi-official" nonsense, but think about this: if they are affiliated with Sony, would Sony have the guts to leak info, deny it, then "surprise" people when it's actually true (and good news, for a change)? Maybe. Maybe not. Cash in your two cents, we'll see what happens!
