January 12, 2006 - After a period of relative silence regarding the status of the PlayStation 3, Sony revealed that it will be making a major industry push with the announcement that its annual DevStation conference would be held in London on March 1st and 2nd with its sole focus being PlayStation 3 development.
According to Sony, the conference will be "twin stream" with one stream focusing on hardware and graphics and the other covering art, audio, video, and networking. Among the topics to be disucussed in these streams:
- Cell and the OS
- Third-party presentations (including Epic and a guest independent developer)
- Middleware (including Havok and Ageia)
- Performance analysis
- Art/content generation (including presentations from 3rd-party application vendors)
With many aspects of the PlayStation 3 still shrouded in mystery, we're hoping that this conference will shed some light on the capabilities of Sony's next-generation offering and make the wait for its eventual release that much harder to endure.

A month and a half away, but hey, at least I know what to expect! Now I can stop worrying myself with these speculating articles from those 3rd world websites.^Interesting^
EDIT: And yes, this means I was wrong. They won't hold the Playstation Conference in February, and if they do, it won't have anything new about PS3. Only PSP and PS2.
