    PlayStation Around the Web: What We Read

    By Jeff Rubenstein

    As you may know, this week brings us one of the biggest gaming conventions in the world: Europe’s gamescom. Last year at this event, we announced our redesigned, lower-priced PS3. What will we be talking about this year?

    Head on back to this Blog on Tuesday morning to find out; PlayStation.Blog EU’s James Gallagher will be reporting live from Cologne, Germany – a city filled with people that I’d imagine smell very good (or very bad). Then, throughout the week, James and others on-site will be transmitting new trailers, interviews, and other news from gamescom to our shores.

    It should be a very fun and exciting week, so we hope to see you back here! Figuratively, of course… it’s not like we can see you. That’d be creepy.
