Sony talks about E-distribution

They're still not giving away any details but Sony are happy to talk up their "xbox live killing" e-distribution service. Still no details on features, prices or even a name but Sony man John Hight did have this to say in an interview this week with Gamasutra.

"We're looking for fresh, new ideas that fully exploit the power of PlayStation 3. Our 1st party projects are all unique to PS3. Some of our games, by virtue of their design and hardware demands, simply couldn't work on Xbox 360."

Hear that ? That's the sound of us still being completely underwhelmed.

He's basically saying that some of the games downloadable to the PS3 will use all of the machines processing power , that you'll be able to download games that are too cool to run one the 360. They haven't even shown us that they have any games that couldn't run on a 360, now they're telling us you'll be able to download them directly to the PS3!

Only time will tell of course if Sony's new online service can cut the mustard, we'd love to be proved wrong.
