Guten tag from Cologne, Germany, home of gamescom! The motto for 2011’s gamescom is “Celebrate the Games,” and we’re about to do that beginning with the Sony Computer Entertainment Europe press conference. The presser kicks off at 7pm local time, which is 1pm Eastern and 10am Pacific.
A note while you’re watching* today: much like E3 is targeted to the US audience and Tokyo Game Show is targeted at Japan, the gamescom press conference is primarily aimed at European gamers, so please keep that in mind as you watch. Not everything mentioned or shown today will necessarily apply to those of us in North America. We’ll post on all appropriate things for the North American market, however, just as we always do.
So with that in mind, press Play in the video screen below, sit back and see the future of PlayStation as laid out by SCEE CEO and President Andrew House.
If you miss any of today’s fun, the entire conference will play on a loop for the next 24 hours. As always, we want to hear your reactions in the comments and we look forward to bringing you closer to gamescom 2011 throughout this week. Look for more stories here on PlayStation.Blog very soon!
*We’ve got a special tab running at PlayStation’s Facebook page. If you’d like to watch socially, that’s the place for you.

This Gamescom is sucking.
Sorry Jeff I don’t mean to be rude but cmon. Jim looked nervous but was speaking excellent. That was really weird to see. His facial expressions made him look nervous but he was speaking like he was.
The Playstation 3 is not capable of Cross Game Chatting. Just admit it.
boreing ps vita realease date?
What is going on???!!??
yes gamescom live, thanks sony
Dancing now? After an already dull first hour? This Gamescom is certainly not about celebrating the games.
@ BJtheLegend
Thanks for the reply. I don’t think it was a dumb question considering I’ve never attended or seen Gamescom since I live in America. Also, it’s in Germany so maybe it would be in German. But thank you for the European=English equation since every country in the EU has their own language, a dozen or so are officially English, Germany not being one of them.
@Bioman20
I don’t know.. I hope sony doest do that again..
This is terrible.
Move is dead to me

Who’s the developer? Getting a Machinarium vibe from it.
Price cut is great news.

PS3 now the less than a 3G Vita? Better be Vita price drop in the future.
Whens the US/EU Vita release date dammit!!!!!?????
Cross game chat for PS3….getting ridiculous and becoming a lost cause at this point.
gamescom is wackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. e3 is way better
no GT5 news *looks at t500…tear*.
Well that was…nothing new. Oh well, think I’ll wait for the next one in japan!
$249.99 ? Isn’t that still a little bit expensive for those who haven’t purchased one yet?
Ok the Vita is awesome. I would like to see actual specs too. Battery life, RAM, HD, release date?
Party looks awesome! Please Sony bring party to PS3!
