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.
The staff lends their best guesses for what the upcoming show has to offer excited gamers.

A sequel that seems to have improved in every way from an already great game.
When inFamous was released in 2009, it took the gaming world by storm. It was a super-hero inspired game that used open world mechanics along with a deep story and strong morale choices to catch the eyes of many gamers. inFamous was met with critical acclaim, and now the team at Sucker Punch seeks out to top the first game in each and every way with inFamous 2. From my hands on with the game, I feel that it truly lives up to that expectation.
The Welcome Back program, however, is still not available.

For a full description of what's available, be sure to check out the announcement.
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.
