The trademark lends further proof of the final VIta name for the NGP.
While later today, Sony will officially be donning the NGP with a final name, it appears the sleuths of the internet have uncovered a staggering amount of evidence that the system will be named PS Vita, or PSV as I have been calling it. The latest bit of evidence is a trademark registered on the OHIM website to Sony Computer Entertainment. Included with the trademark is the logo depicted here. Just a few more hours and we'll know for sure what exactly the PS Vita is and if it is indeed the final name for Sony's next handheld, the NGP.

PSN is free for everyone except Sony.
As a precursor to its fiscal year 2010 earnings report this past Thursday, Sony released a revised earnings statement announcing an estimated $171 million price tag for the shutdown of PlayStation Network. This is a “reasonable assumption,” and Sony states it will have to spend this on its “personal information theft protection program,” not to mention “welcome back programs,” customer support, network security, and legal costs. In addition, Sony has taken into account potential revenue loss from the outage and recovery.
Storytelling takes the front seat in this new crime drama that despite some flaws, shines above the rest.
There is no game out right now that is exactly like L.A. Noire. From the moment players dip into the crime infested 1940’s Los Angeles, they are greeted with an aura that sets this game apart from most. As a game, L.A. Noire isn’t without its problems, however its gripping narrative, compelling characters, and fantastic animations make it a must play, and one of the best titles to come out this year.
