Rumor: More PlayStation Phone videos leak out, bare all
We’ve already seen the PlayStation Phone strut its stuff on video once, but we’re using the term “see” loosely here. The previous video could very well have been incontrovertible proof that Jesus Christ once wrestled an army of space T-Rexes; thanks to all the blurring and shaking, we certainly wouldn’t have known any better. These new videos uncovered by Engadget, though, are crystal clear. No “I learned all my film techniques from pictures of Bigfoot” here.
Check out both videos of the hardware – which is rumored to be just under a week away from a big unveiling – after the break!
