Try Substance Studios had been expecting to collect development kits at the event, but were told "late shipments from Japan" meant SCEE would now be "prioritising".

According to the source, for a kit to be delivered before April a studio must supply a "page concept document on a game they want to release at launch". Eurogamer understands that key UK studios have had early kits for almost a year. But the source claimed the new shipment of kits would be "the first to have the final GPU in them". Sony has not yet dated the system beyond plans to begin rollout worldwide by the end of But during yesterday's presentation, Sony listed the Wi-Fi only edition of NGP as "", while the Wi-Fi plus 3G version was listed as "Holiday Season ", implying that the 3G-enabled console would not be available day one.

Social networking and location-based features were also highlighted for their gaming potential. SCEE suggested, for instance, that "clues could be put on the social networking side" that could lead to "virtual gifts", that could in turn make use of the camera and augmented reality capabilities to distribute "new skins and avatars".
