Sony's PlayStation brand in general and the PS3 in particular are “just beginning to hit [their] stride,” said Jack Tretton, CEO of the North American branch of Sony Computer Entertainment, which oversees the PlayStation products.

Perhaps those of us who live the United States take our freedoms for granted. We can complain all we want about inappropriate content in Grand Theft Auto IV, but we’ll stand behind the right of Rockstar Games to sell it. We might not want our children surfing for porn, but we have no intention to tell other folks that they can’t view it just because we might find the content objectionable. We’re obviously generalizing here; there are plenty of U.S. citizens out there who would love to ban all objectionable content,

We stopped by and took a look at the newly released Toshiba Intel Centrino 2 based notebooks, some console coolers by the folks and Nyko and ended up having a Taco with Sony at King Taco down the street from the convention center.
