A number of the “press leaks” that flooded the news prior to the E3 conference came from a Twitter account claiming to be Sony PR.  This impostor went forward promising some big things which all turned out to be false, save for the new PSP that was already leaked so long ago.  Recently, Jeff Rubenstein, an actual agent for Sony’s PR team has posted on the official PlayStation blog that “the only real PlayStation PR person identifying himself as such on Twitter is… me. Think of this as ‘Jeff’s Place’.” It’s good to know that he is looking out for us.

 Speaking of Twitter, we’ve recently set up a Twitter account so you can stay updated with our news and editorial content. Our username is @ButtonSmasherUS. We’ll also be linking to it on our blog roll to the right. I do wonder if people are actually using twitter as their main source of news. It just seems to me that you can only fit so much into a tweet, and you’d think anyone actually using it to post news directly would need to spam it. It makes me wonder if any of you use twitter for more than just quick updates, and links?
