Sony Online announced their super-spy shooter MMO The Agency over two years ago but since then the game seems to have more of a promise than an actual product with no indication of a firm launch date or even a beta test. Now a number of the team's senior staff members have departed Sony Online's Seattle studio to form a new company.

Eurogamer has confirmed that three of The Agency's senior team members, including SOE Seattle's studio director Matt Wilson, had left to form Detonator Games which seems to be one of the growing number of game developers devoted to making titles for social networks. Rumors that The Agency will undergo a development reboot following the departures were denied by Sony Online with a spokesperson saying, "the team in Seattle is still working diligently on this project and we're looking forward to showing you new content in the future."

Same here buddy as we are always expecting some latest new and unique gadgets from Sony but nowadays it has lost its reputation by increasing the rates of its products I suggest that it should make its products a little cheaper so that it could come in the range of an ordinary person as well........
