With E3 around the corner, we know that you want PlayStation news more than ever. With the PlayStation 3 going strong and having surpassed the Xbox 360 sales, new indie efforts on the PlayStation Vita, and strong buzz around the PlayStation 4, this may be the most important E3 for Sony and PlayStation. To ensure more of the coverage you’ve come to expect from us and for us to push further with our ambitions, I’m happy to announce that Brien Bell is joining the SRN team as the new Associate PlayStation Editor.

Brien is from Sacramento, CA and former student of journalism and English writing. A love of baseball, Star Wars, cooking shows, and video games make up just a few of the eclectic hobbies this Sony aficionado lays claim to. From Walkman to PlayStation Vita, and even working briefly for Gracenote, Sony was a part of Brien’s life and career path before he even realized it.

If you’re on Twitter, make sure to follow Brien (@JamesTSkywalker) and say hi to him and the rest of the SRN team which you can find their info on our Editors page. If you have a passion for Sony or PlayStation and can write skillfully with a hint of wit, then be sure to visit our careers page.
