"A lot of new PS3 features to come," says Eric Lempel
In a recent interview with Next-Gen.biz, Eric Lempel - Director of PlayStation Network Operations - gives a few hints regarding the expansion of the PlayStation Network this year. A lot of the things he discusses specifically we've already heard about, but it's the stuff he doesn't say which intrigues us the most.
The interview includes mentions of an upcoming digital distribution method for providing PS3 owners with TV shows and films. Lempel also talks about some "very exciting programs planned to recognize our consumers gaming skills and loyalty in new ways that go well beyond a single score." Sounds good to us. This should arrive when Home finally launches. When is that? We haven't a clue, but Lempel says it's now coming along very nicely, as opposed to the disappointment it apparently was late last year.
We're looking forward to seeing more of these "features in different stages of development that users will be very excited about." 2008 should be an interesting year for the PlayStation Network.
