Interesting PlayStation Announcements Planned
First in a series of unveilings planned for Leibzig
***** caught up earlier this week with the good people of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe for a quick chat about all things PlayStation and we are pleased to let you know that the frustrating post-E3 wait for proper information on our PlayStation future is just about to end, with the first in a series of major announcements being made this coming Monday from Leibzig.
We can assure you that this first unveiling will, shall we say, be something you are very unlikely to have foreseen, coming from way out of leftfield. Suffice to say it brought a smile to our face as we think it will do yours. Check in here first thing on Monday when well be able to disclose the full details of this announcement, as well as picking up the first tasty news droppings from all the other publishers at Leibzig.

Could be something to do with the shape changing polymers patent...
Gamasutra - Although the Sony patent, which can be examined in full at the United States Patent Office website, does not make specific mention of the devices application for a possible follow-up to the PSP, it does specifically describe the technologys use with a game controller.
A scenario is described where a user touches a control section of the controller with their fingers and the feeling of touch is controlled by the device. The example is given of a player being defeated in a fighting game, after which the controller becomes soft to improve the realistic sensations in the game.
