I asked because her age determines if PS is actually cool (its producers/players are liked by girls/women) or just another nerd cathedral (garners no particular attention). Coolness can be estimated with the following equation:

Coolness = A x ( (number of regular players x B) / (number of female players x C) )

Where

A = (1/ sqrt(2*pi)) exp(-(30 - average age of C)/2)
B is the overall (men+women) familiarity ratio (if you go to a mall and ask 100 people if they know about PS2, what percent will say 'yes'?).
C is the female familiarity ratio (if you go to a mall and ask 100 women if they know about PS2, what percent will say 'yes'?).

Eh, well, I'm not that familiar with the latest web technologies.

Back on topic though aside from the fact that I'm slightly sore at them releasing that video their chinese partners first, I'm loving how much attention this is getting.

On a somewhat related note, how come PSU's main page and the news box up top don't have that 'HOT' icont in front the news item about The9 website, even though it's above 200 commments?

Shhh, it's a secret!

We specify the hot flag manually it's not defined by comments or any other automatic method.

Vid appeared on PCGAMER, RPS, etc etc etc. Wait for the next view update, im sure it hit the 10k already.

Well since they had the "Happy new year" bit at the end, I'm thinking they sort of knew it would be out around this time.
