Australia, July 26, 2007 - The Sony Experience More event, Sony Australia's annual consumer electronics trade event, was on again this year in Sydney. Move over, Nintendo - if you want to see a gaming console turned into a mainstream consumer do-all device, you need not look further than today's presentation.
While by and large the focus of the day's proceedings hinged around Sony's ever-expanding range of HD-enabled products - up from 100 at last year's show to 227 products this year (including 177 Full-HD enabled products), there was a small PlayStation 3 and PSP presence in the consumer-focussed presentations and on the show floor itself.
Carl Rose, the Managing Director of Sony Australia took the stage for a bit of figure-touting and backslapping on the company's wide and varied successes for the year. Interestingly, if unsurprisingly, a good portion of the presentation discussed the current adoption rates for Blu-ray devices in Australia, with some telling statistics unveiled.
