Mysterious Sony Countdown
 
A mysterious countdown, with the sound of thunder and brief glimpses of a silhouetted landscape, is what you will find, if you browse Japans official PS3 site, if i did the math right, the countdown appears to end on the last day of E3.

I can't read the Kanji, but the first 4 characters say "Beta Test".

Wonder what this countdown is for.

Maybe then they will reveal where they buried Geohot's body...

Thanks :)

And, that twitter might not have been created yet.. the guy exists with a simple google search.. then again, thats probably not as accurate anymore. AS code relates to the automatic generation of an HTML file, jump, which was mentioned earlier. hmm..
