PS3 Could launch in September with Xbox Live Killer?
Published February 15th, 2006 in Gaming, Internet, Noteworthy, Technology
An article at Next-Generation (no idea how credible this is) states the fact that “according to well-placed industry sources” Sony will launch an Xbox Live killer called HUB. This will offer the same things as Xbox Live such as content download, chat and online play. The service is also designed to support the PSP (for online connectivity) as well as the PS3 itself.
Developers for the PS3 are speculating that the launch date for the PS3 is currently set to be September, and Sony is neither confirming nor denying these rumours. This speculation has led to believe that “September 16 would be a launch date in Japan (a Saturday before a national holiday) followed by September 21 in the U.S.” The article further states that Sony is going to be announcing HUB within the next few weeks.
Is in any part true? We won’t know until Sony officially says something because who knows how credible these ’sources’ are (if there are any). This has been the biggest rumour so far concerning the PS3 release date and a Xbox Live killer service.

Yeah right. Won’t happen. Microsoft already has a perfect online service and the resources to beat out ANY competitor that tries to do better. PS3’s online service won’t make a dent.
At all.
