Happy Holidays From PlayStation!

Hey everyone,
The PlayStation.Blog EU is now closed for Christmas! We’ve got some messages of goodwill from various developers around the world coming up next week, but other than that things will be pretty quiet around here.
I did, however, want to take this festive opportunity to thank you all for your support over the last six months. I feel that the European Blog has grown and improved tremendously since we started back in May – and you’ve been a key part of that. I’ve created a short list of highlights which demonstrate just some of the milestones we’ve hit over the last six months:

• Welcome – You’ve Been Waiting – Our launch post! Way back on the 28th of May, just a few days before E3 kicked off.
• Live from gamescom: SCEE Press Conference – The gamescom 2009 press conference saw the unveiling of some exciting stuff, like the redesigned PS3, the Video Download Service, PSP minis and the Digital Comics service. All of which are now live and available.
• UNCHARTED 2: gamescom’s Best Console Game – UNCHARTED 2 was crowned the best console game of gamescom 2009. Just one of the many awards the game received over the last six months.
• We’re Going To TGS – Tokyo Game Show 2009 was a landmark trade show for the Blog. The US Blog’s Jeff Rubenstein and I worked together to bring content from Japan to both US and European audiences simultaneously. It worked so well, you can definitely expect to see more of this at future trade shows.

But it doesn’t end there. As we move into 2010 – and a new decade – you can expect more content from more third party publishers, more announcements and more events coverage. You’ve seen my personal pick of the highlights from 2009, but I’m intrigued to find out what yours might be. Let us know in the comments section and, while you’re there, be sure to give us your feedback on the last six months as well as the sort of content you want to see more of in 2010.
Thanks again for reading the PlayStation.Blog EU! Your passion for PlayStation is what keeps it going and we value every single one of you.
Have a happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Here’s to a great 2010!
