This is the what you’ve been waiting for: PlayStation’s E3 press conference, kicking off at noon Pacific. While we were able to get 150 of you into the Shrine Auditorium, there’s probably a few of you wondering how you can follow the action. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to find out what’s going on. You can stream video from a number of sites, such as GameTrailers, GameSpot, G4, and IGN.
Can’t stream video at work/school/your low bandwidth location? SCEE‘s James Gallagher and myself will be updating you live in traditional text fashion via CoverItLive. Also, be sure to follow us on Twitter. We’ll be tweeting pics straight from the press conference. However you follow along, enjoy the show!
We’re not done when the show wraps up – in fact, we’re just beginning. Keep an eye on the Blog starting at 2pm, as we’ll have posts, news, and trailers from the stars of the show.
at least they are showing off games while they show the move unlike MS. This is merely showing off a new game. Looks pretty good.
sorcery for the PS “move” looks promising
You should keep mentioning the Move and 3D (which no one outside of the confrence can see or appreciate) and maybe bring up how strong the PS2 is still doing and realize you’re NEVER GOING TO GET OUT OF 3RD PLACE WITH THIS CRAP!! If you don’t bring the quality games no one is going to care about your tech..
no not golf
not really interested in 3D tech (have to buy a new TV? no thanks)
more Kevin Butler less Kaz Hirai
Any news on PSN updates with voice chat etc, who’s in charge of PSN?
I’m sick of the Move already and I’ve only seen two games for it. Sorcery looks to be a mediocre action-RPG with gimmicky controls and golf is golf.
It’s kind of sad that even this is beating Microsoft’s conference.
KB FOR PRESIDENT! OF THE WORLD!
Let me get this right, if i wanna play a 3D “Move” game, I need to buy a 3D TV, a PS Eye, the game and the “Move” controller. How much do you think that would run us?
KB JUST KILLED IT!!!
“Move” due out, SEPT 15 in UK, SEPT 19 in US cost of controller $49.99
$49.99 ain’t that bad. Lot cheaper than what I was expecting. Too bad I have absolutely no interest in motion control, or I would actually get excited about this.
i saw that marcus psp commercial this morning on sportscenter too!
Well the Move presentation has gone better than I expected. And I didn’t even want it to happen! lol. There are actually some games to look forward too. And it’s sweet that they’re including the option to play the games with either the Move controller or the Dualshock 3. Nice! Oh and this Kevin Butler and Marcus PSP ad is hilarious!
Showing off new commercials for the exact same outdated PSP?
This is going downhill fast.
Aaaaand I hate Marcus.
P-L-A-Y-S-T-A-T-I-O-N IS THE BEST
YAWN!!!
Liking the Marcus ads, especially the one with KB :)
Speaking of KB, can we get a wallpaper or theme of him in the Move bow stance? That would be so awesome to have! :D
over 70 titles for PSP by December
Looks like the only surprise is going to be how much Sony intends to charge us for the “Premium” PSN package.
Sony, you have disappointed me for the last time. Well, thats not entirely true, you will mostly continue to disappoint. :(
lol tetris for PSP, took em long enuf for that title
LOL, STEP YOUR GAME UP!
Truly lame, no video feed on ps3 cause they eliminated otheros, the only way 2 watch it live on a ps3. cant watchit on home cause home is down for maintence for the whole press conference. What was on the text only feed was all about move & the games for it nobody seems to want. Way to go SCEA, take what u learned from micrososfts conference yesterday in all its epic failness.
I was hoping sonys leaks werent all there was. that there would be some miracle to make this PS3 we all bought fun again. Vain hope that was.
Why is Home down at this critical hour? Lots of script reading in this show by execs btw .
CANADA VIDEO STORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do people complain about games coming out on the PS2 or PSP? At least Sony has support for their systems once they make a new one. It’s called good business. If Microsoft did that maybe I wouldn’t have had to sell my XBOX so quickly.
That would suck for all the people that didn’t buy a PS3 the day it came out.(I did so it doesn’t apply to me) It’s nice to see that they support their product for a long time.
You hear that Canadians!? You guys are finally getting the Video Store!
E3 on Home? lol Home is down how we gonna visit E3 on it?
finally i will be able to rent/buy movie from the ps store. Thank you Sony.
OH NO, NOT LITTLE BIG LOSER 2
@ 74 & 79
I never got a warning for a firmware update. Also, when manually check for an update it says I have the latest firmware. Kind of strange. I’m not the only one that’s experiencing this? There’s quite a few people on my friends list that never got the 3D FW update.
This is getting embarrassing.
@134
agreed, what is this…
PlayStation Plus…or
Qore Costing Even More?
What features does it bring? Who gives about crappy freebies that never actually arrive?
Playstation Plus???? WTF? Heres Playstation trying to make more money. $3+ a month
They didn’t mention a single system feature improvement.
Stunning.
So, about PlayStation Plus—he said that next month, Qore will be part of the PS+. What does that mean for people who already have Qore subscriptions?
Soooo, the biggest announcement so far is charging us for PSN? Wow, way to go Sony…
@jimmyfoxhound Obviously you missed the first hour of the conference.
they just said “everything that was free is still free” so your online playing is still free while if you get playstation plus then you can get free games,minis, themes, and much more without having to pay more then just the subscription fee
PSN Plus:
All the stuff that was promised in Qore (but was never delivered) and for twice the price.
Now THAT’s a deal.
Hey it’s the guy from the Medal of Honor game cover!
Uhhhhhhhhh hello???????
Where is:
-cross game voice chat?
-context sensitive PS button?
-auto-syncing trophies?
-improved and more integrated web browsing?
-XMB interface clean up with better in-game XMB?
SONY IS ANYONE THERE?
You have to continually pay Sony to keep the PS+ games, miss 1 month and “Poof” your “free” games go bye bye.
just ignore JimmyFoxHound…he’s either a Sony Hater or a Fanboy of Microsoft or something and is trolling for people to work up.
@phinnv8 we still have 30 minutes left then they are taking questions here
WHAT THE FFFFFFFF IS THE POINT OF PLAYSTATION BLOG SHARE?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
