Sony's Tretton Sounds Off On E3 Leaks 37
An anonymous reader writes "Sony is hinting that previously released games might be able to use its motion sensor controller. Jack Tretton said it would be 'absolutely conceivable' that existing games could get a patch when the controller comes out next year — and implied that some of the games shown at E3 this year could ship with motion sensing built into them. The president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America is also not happy about the leaks that preceded the company's E3 press conference (for example, details on the PSP Go). Tretton says it has become impossible to keep a secret in the gaming industry because of third-party publishers — and he's worried about the ramifications that will have as the company develops the PS4."
Joystiq's Law of the Game column has a related article questioning the value of NDAs now that the sharing of information has become so easy.

I just help a friend, who has 10+ years old TV and antenna, set up the converter, and her family was amazed by how clear (not to mention watchable) the TV has become.
OTOH, My family has one of those big antenna you stick in the attic, so reception wasn't much of an improvement for me, but the programming guide was a welcomed new feature.
So, so far, the DTV transition has been a good experience.

17" CRT monitor here using 1024 x 768--anything bigger makes text hard to read. I most quite a bit of time making stuff fit on screen.
