E3 Comes to PlayStation Home

166 1

In case you haven’t noticed, the almighty Internets have been abuzz with gossip about E3, PlayStation Home, and where the two will meet. Well I’m here to put the rumors to rest once and for all, and confirm what the community has been whispering about in the corners of Home over the last month.

PlayStation Home media & events space

Here’s the deal: We will be showcasing a special taping of Jack Tretton’s E3 Keynote Address in-world come Tuesday evening. We’ll also be bringing you tons of showroom floor footage, developer interviews, sneak peeks, and other cool vids courtesy of our friends over here at the PlayStation.Blog. All you have to do is head over to the Presentation Podium to watch it on the big screen. This special Events space is accessible via the Menu Pad – just press Start > Locations > World Map then select the PlayStation Home World Map chip and press X. This will break out into several other chips; just scroll over to the Presentation Podium chip, press X, and teleport your self to the party.

This shindig is running for the entirety of E3. That’s right – 3 full days. So whether you’re a morning bird or a night owl, you can come into PlayStation Home and check out this hot footage. We’ll also be giving away limited-time, exclusive virtual items. But you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled and make sure that you are in-world all-day, every day if you want to get them all…

  • Hi guys!, It will be awesome if sony adds an add-on feature just like the one in Mozilla Firefox , with a huge developer comunity working on new stuff to add to the ps3 system, 1000 brains think better and more than just a group of devs , setup an add-on space in the psn store where users can see all the types of add-ons by categories and download, rate, comment them etc. this will extremely increase the power of the ps3 and the functions too.

    greetings!

  • I have a question for you Locust_Star in regards to these exclusive items. Will we receive them via the Presentation Podium space? Or will we have to roam around Home to find them?

  • I really hope you all at Sony have something AMAZING to show us at E3! I can not believe that you all let Metal Gear go like that. First Final Fantasy XIII goes to the Xbox 360 and now it is Metal Gear. Microsoft has set the bar. Can you guys at Sony surpass it?

  • Sweet…

  • wow, lots of people with hurt butts in here.

    why don’t you ALL wait until E3 is over before getting your panties in a bunch.

    There will be great games for both systems and the competetion between the two is good for gaming as a whole.

  • You guys at Sony lost last year’s E3 when Microsoft announced Final Fantasy XIII. I think Sony just lost again. I still can’t believe that Metal Gear is going to be on 360! Sony, you are starting to lose a lot of your fanbase with these mess ups. Unless you all have something BIG to show other than your 1st party titles, then I’m afraid you’ve lost this E3 aswell. As I said before, Sony will need their A-Game if they have any hope of WOW-ing us like Microsoft did today.

  • @KidCommando, last year I said the same thing. “Why not wait till E3 is over before getting mad”. Then, after E3 was over I was mad. Microsoft stole the show last year, and I’m afraid they stole the show again.

  • pretty cool

  • will e3 be on tv? and what times if yes

  • Um, why not let us download the E3 presentation and watch it when we want … like last year?

  • @110…

    The video screens in HOME now have an unused ‘link’ button…perhaps we will be able too…

  • they won because they got one game that is also available on the ps3. that’s great! how about heavy rain, new r&c, mag, uncharted 2, god of war 3 etc

  • It all soud great. I will be there.

  • Spelling error.

    It all sounds good. I definitely will be there.

  • @Ocelot166, I’m not saying that they won the console war or anything, but unless Sony has a mind blowing announcement tomorrow they will have lost E3. However, if Sony does continue down this path then they probably will lose this Console Gen War. Also, Konami has not said anything about that Metal Gear game coming to PS3 either.

  • You guys know what’s worse about Microsoft getting the MGS series? Not only they are getting MGS, they have Splinter Cell exclusively.
    How come we cant get their exclusives like Gears of War 2?

  • US PS Home only or European too?

  • Is there really going to be mystery items? says who?

  • I will leave my prayer here. Please sony, you let microsoft take yet another exclusive away, I bought my ps3 to play metal gear, please give us something to counter this announcement or I may have to lose all faith. amen

  • @119

    Dude, nothing can counter MGS! Are you insane? It’s like Microsoft losing Halo. LOL Splinter Cell and MGS. I’m still hopeful though. Tomorrow is a brand new day.

  • I hope SONY can beat Microsofts Press Conference. Lets pray.

  • yeah i have to say… HOME is fun and all but.. clearly live would have been better than taped.. its 2009. MS is running circles around Sony right now, they just lost Metal Gear. No point on buying that bundle anymore..

    Everyone who cares to login to home will have found out about e3 by 6pm.. come on guys.

    MS is killing it with the Movie service as well.

    If Sony doesn’t talk about Gt5 tomorrow, im really going to be a bit unhappy.

  • Sony just got owned by Microsoft. MS took mostly all of ps3 exclusive games and Ms seems to be getting all the exclusive content for games. Screw microsoft.

  • MS has so many good games. [stolen exclusives from sony] and gear of war etc.

  • I cant wait to 1 Star all Konami posts. “Sneak in…”

  • Hey Jeff, can you get an exclusive interview with Kojima? All of us in the blog have some questions for him?

    1. How much money did Microsoft offer you?

  • Sony for sure has more quality games coming this year, BUT none of that is gonna matter. E3 is now about people saying WOW.

    MAG isn’t gonna WOW anyone. It’s another damn game with no single player. Bigger isn’t better! 64 players in Resistance is enough. I see nothing special in MAG. Heavy Rain looks like a great TECH demo, looks boring as hell as a game. Nobody cares (outside of RPG heads) about White Knight Chronicles (the 3 exclusive RPGs on the 360 proved this).

    The only things that sound good from Sony are Uncharted 2, GOW3 and TRICO.

    And GOW3 and TRICO are probably coming out in 2010.

    So that only leaves Uncharted 2.

    Oh yeah, a new Ratchet, that’s great. But nobody is gonna soil their pants for a new Ratchet, since we’ve already seen it this generation (and I’m a huge Ratchet fan).

  • I’m not sure if you guys noticed, but Microsoft only announced a bunch of shooters. Their press conference wasn’t that impressive.

    The min Sony start to talk about PS2…I know we’ve lost. It should only be a dab of PSP/PSN then all PS3. The only PS2 talk I want to hear is BC coming back in full force.

  • -Metal Gear Solid

    -Facebook, twitter

    -temporary exclusive map pack for COD Modern Warfare 2

    -Splinter Cell Conviction

    All exclusive to the Xbox360. Sony you better have something huge to show us at the E3 tommorow

  • hey ,disaster happened, obviously nothing can counter MGS, but there is also bright side of this – SONY will never again lose exclusive blockbuster third party game, as MGS was last of this kind…

  • i finally have a reason to log into Home!

  • “logged in all-day every-day” does this include the 1st?

  • I have school, I hope that the videos will be available in the Playstation Store to download Please

  • Awesome! I’ll be there!

  • Wow, there’s trolls even on here?! It’s sad that they have to show their insecurities with their own broken console.

  • Sony’s E3 press conference is being leaked left and right. I just found out about the new Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for PSP.

  • I don’t know what people are complaining about. MGS has been on Xbox before. Also MGS4 is still exclusive to the PS3. On top of that MGS: Rising is multiplat, it’s not like its on Xbox only.

  • Thanks for the heads up Locust_Star! I’ll be looking for the schedule as soon as it is out!

  • Why can’t we ps3 owners have a freaking motion sensor controller come on plz sony at least we got epic games and we are totally awesome

  • @129 your right but u forgot about the motion sensor controller but u were right on target with these -Metal Gear Solid

    -Facebook, twitter

    -temporary exclusive map pack for COD Modern Warfare 2

    -Splinter Cell Conviction

    All exclusive to the Xbox360. Sony you better have something huge to show us at the E3 tommorow
    hopefully we will see something epic from the awesome company tomorrow at E3 cant wait it is going to be epic hopefully psp go looks pretty cool

  • Relax guys MGS rising is also coming to ps3, it’s not a Xbox exclusive, so stop freaking out. This is no way the end of the ps3, come on guys relax. Also, MGS 4 remained exclusive as it always was said to be :)

  • IM DONE WITH KONAMI/KOJIMA GAMES NOW. SELLING MGS4. PATHETIC

  • DOESENT MATTER. MULTI PLAT GAMES NEED TO BE DEV’D FOR THE LOWEST COMMOM DENOMINATOR. WHICH IS FAR BELOW WHAT THE PS3 IS CAPABLE OF.

  • This is by far one of the best things yah will ever do. Thankyou sooo much.

  • This is pretty amazing! I’m excited to see what Home has lined up for us.

    People! This is not the first Metal Gear game to arrive on the Xbox. Anyone remember Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance? And they didn’t release another Metal Gear until now, that’s 2 games that 360 got skipped out on! It’s only fair that they should get a spin-off :)
    And I’m pretty sure we will get Rising too, since they didn’t emphasize that the game was exclusive.

  • Do we literally have to be on PlayStation®Home for 72 hours straight!!?? I could maybe manage being on for 2 days straight, but theres no way I could manage 3 days straight.

  • are you people serious? your going nuts over crap? after waiting a year thats all they had? lets me honest here. everything that Sony has already announced is coming out this year alone. most of those games on MS won’t even be out till next year. also this whole twitter and facebook thing? umm i’ve been going on those on my PS3 for 2 years now. you know theres a webbrowser right? and froza 3… i’m suprised there was even a 2nd. mind you yes GT5 is taking long. but in the long run its going to great and a whole lot better than Froza. and LFD 2… lol oh come on that is one of the most repetitive games i have ever played in my life. but the MG thing kinda blows. but don’t forget those games have been on other consoles as well. so its not 100% exclusive. and it will be a very dumbed down. and not close to the rest of the Solid Snake series. so if your all realy crying about how great MS e3 conference was, your so blind to what is already been known and coming out this year. infamous, ratchet, and uncharted alone goes beyond any games they announced. plus the multiplat’s.

  • I really hope Sony’s E3 presentation (in a few hours.) will come with full force and shut some people up. It kinda worries me a bit due to the fact that MS’s Presentation was damn near flawless (Did you see Splinter Cell?!)today. Plus the addition of a motion based camera/hands free control system. I’m a little jealous, lol.

    I know they’ll be presenting the new PSP Go!, and POSSIBLY a PS3 Slim (I’m thinkin a 35% chance they will.) with a few extra games, and possibly new firmware to add a few more features to the PS3 and maybe the PSP. I’m actually hoping to see some price drops. mainly the PS3 and the actual price of the PSP Go!.

    Let’s hope Sony can suprise us with something we haven’t seen or heard of already.

  • “We’ll also be giving away limited-time, exclusive virtual items. But you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled and make sure that you are in-world all-day, every day if you want to get them all…”

    SO I have to sit in Home 24/7 to get the virtural items? Things like that make people stay way from Home. When you load up your game / service/ whatever with a billion virtural goods that are limited time only people really do not like that. It is not a good way to attract customers.

  • i want a free E3 t-shirt! i get nauseated when i teleport – barf!
