Tired of having those tiring updates on Facebook in the same boring fashion? Well worry no more as Sony today released its app for the social network called Auto-Tune Your Status. The name itself is self explanatory, but just to stretch this out a bit, the app enables you to create an update on status and then lets you play it over as a tuned song. All you have to do is write your status update and then make a selection on the sound and voice, once done, the update appears on your wall. The bad part, well it can only stay in the confines of Facebook, meaning you cannot have its embedded anywhere else. So if you are really into making some noise, then do give this app a try.

The Sony GamesCom conference being held in Cologne Germany is breaking up much awaited news to us. Sony lets the cat out of the bag announcing the launch of the Play-Station 3 ‘Slim’. The modified console will be making its appearance in the first week of September and priced at 299 Euros. The modification includes sizing down of the predecessor up to 32%, a rough top surface relieving of all the finger prints that would be left behind otherwise. It has a standard 120 GB hard disk that is quieter as it works and is much more power efficient.
Sony has definitely got things going for it self with the new hotter and sleeker looking PS3 Slim *drool*. Other pleasing news from Sony include a confirmation of the price cut down on the 80GB PS3, information of the new motion sensor control, redesigning of PSN etc.

To be honest, Apple has stirred the markets with its iPod and iPhone, not just those of the smartphone but also that of handheld devices. Those devices are portable, provide developers a very fruitful market without doing much investment and its games don’t cost much. Of course they don’t provide you with the super awesome 3D effect that game manufacturers like Sony, Nintendo would do, but does one really need that to kill time? This is exactly the same reason why many a game lovers complain about Sony that its gaming consoles and games too cost a lot. The result? Sony is definitely taking this seriously and has been influenced to make a cut in prices for PSPgo games with reports stating a fall in price in the range of $1 to $15. Plus it might also offer developers the same share that is given to those who create games/apps for the Apple devices.

Sony Online Entertainment waved goodbye to three execs , Corey Dangel, Matt Wilson and John Smith, the key players behind its hugely popular game Free Realms The Agency development team. They were currently working on SOE’s upcoming game, The Agency which will most probably be delayed. The three will be joining the gaming startup Detonator Games.

In a bid to have more people make use of Google Books, Google has got just the right promotion trick to allure more to its book search engine. Google is giving away 30 free Sony Readers over the next ten days. All that users have to do is play a simple game, quite like a trivia to have a chance at grabbing the reader. Now Google and Sony have been doing some sort of collaboration in the recent past when Google gave Sony’s e-book store access to more than half a million books. Are they up to sort of a partnership? Any one with any details?

Layoffs strike Sony as it waved goodbye to 41 of its employees, which makes around 5% of its workforce. The layoffs as usual have been made to cut down cost and improve operational efficiency. Sony had indicated that it would make major cuts in its workforce in its attempt at restructuring as profits continue to plunge. If that number makes one feel sad, save that till next year as Sony speeds up its plans to layoff more by next year.
