A mysterious timer has appeared on PlayStation Japan’s website, which seems to be in a pool of blood.The timer started at 60 hours and seems to be counting down to something… something we’re unaware of. If you have your sound on, you’ll notice a male and a female (English speaking), and this is what the couple seem to be saying (thanks to wolf3ax):

M: Uhh, That don’t look right, what is that?
F: Did you see that just now, its like it was looking for something, what are they doing? That doesn’t look like anything I’ve ever-
M: Shh.
SCREAMS
M: Man/Da** this is some F***’d up s***, they could have killed her.
F: (not super sure) Oh look, oh no, omg, I cant watch this
M: Shh, quiet, there he is.
F: NO! They’re gonna kill her too!
M: S***, we’ve got to do something
F: (cant tell)
Voice in background: Your gonna F**** him up, what the h*** are you doing!
M: Look, someone’s trying to stop him…
V.I.B: Oh s***
M: ..That guys in deep S***, we’ve got to go to the cops
F: (not sure) I’m not ready captain.

Hmm well I wonder what’s going to happen after the countdown is complete, I guess only time will tell. Perhaps it’s a new game being released? Who knows.
