Sony announces Phil Harrison's successor: Shuhei Yoshida

It's hard to fill the shoes of Phil Harrison. He worked with four PlayStation systems, was often the very-public face of Sony's gaming efforts, and had the immense job of keeping Sony Entertainment Worldwide Studios flowing in a cohesive, effective manner.

The problem is that if you pick one format, you'll be missing out on great movies in the other format. Choose Blu-ray, and you miss out on the Matrix Trilogy and Transformers.
