p2pnet.net News:- Sony has acquired the UK’s SN Systems Ltd and formed strategic alliances with US-based Ageia Technologies Havok and Epic Games.

This will allow it to provide more development tools to allow software companies can create games for PlayStation 3.

“Having led the worldwide console gaming market for the last decade, Sony is counting on PlayStation 3 to dominate in all aspects of networked home entertainment - games, movies, music and more,” says Reuters, going on:

“Sony has said the PS3 will feature a graphics chip with 300 million transistors, more than the combined processing power of the current-generation Microsoft Corp. Xbox, Nintendo Co. Ltd. Game Cube and the PlayStation 2 combined.”

Sony also says it’ll launch a white PSP version on September 15 in Japan which will come with an updated version of the operating system, “which will allow users to surf the Internet and access television programs from its downloading service,” says Reuters.

It’ll go out for 24,800 yen ($220).
