Ryan Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 PSN will be down over the conference, but when it comes back up hopefully they have a video of the conference. Hopefully, I can ignore the liveblogs etc and wait for that.
Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I suspect the European video store will launch. TBH, anything less than a cure for AIDS, world hunger and the Middle East crisis is just unacceptable.
MATtheHAT Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 PS2 Emulation please Sony. I wanna play Shadow of the Colossus Dammit!
Gizmo Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) PSN down during the conference = firmware 3.0 release? It seems the PS3 Slim is real and my house is safe: http://www.kmart.com Unless someone managed to hack the Kmart website, upload the image, and have it not be removed for several hours.

PSN down during the conference = firmware 3.0 release? Stop...you are at risk of getting me slightly excited and my hopes positively raised.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Stop...you are at risk of getting me slightly excited and my hopes positively raised. Its a gaming conference, I would expect nothing less! In other news Persona 3 portable was announced in Famitsu for the PSP as was Phantasy Star Portable 2.
Ashley Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I suspect the European video store will launch. TBH, anything less than a cure for AIDS, world hunger and the Middle East crisis is just unacceptable. Yeah but what would be left for E3?
MATtheHAT Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Also, one for the Dwarf bloke, Insomniac working on Resistance 3? Source
dwarf Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) Erm... Any chance of a Resistance 3 announcement? Obviously not, but I'd just like game announcements and for them to say that they will do repairs for free. That last bit is at a stretch. Maybe we'll hear more about The Agent, but personally I'm not too excited for it despite lack of info. Edit: OMG a possibility of Res 3 actually making a showing! Mat you shouldn't have! Edit: Oh right not anything special, kinda obvious they'd start working on it sooner or later. Edit: I doubt it's even Resistance, the way they described it doesn't really suit the game. Edit: how long is the conference meant to last? Is this that 3 hour one? I'm expecting the same introduction to the leaked info, "Oh yeah, there's a really big surprise in store for you, it's the PS3 Slim. You guys haven't heard of that right?"

Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 It's actually just an hour. Yeah but what would be left for E3? World peace and complete tolerance within society. Swiftly followed by an ironic Earth shattering collision from an asteroid.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 My last post before I shoot off for work KMart in the US has the Slim down for preorder at $299 and out 24/08/09 with the following details listed. PS3, SLIM High-Definition Blu-ray player for the best movie experience. Free PLAYSTATION Network membership. 120GB HDD for downloading games, music, videos, and photos. Includes DUAL SHOCK 3 controller. HDMI output for 1080p resolution. Not long to go to see how true all of this is Edit: Sorry Gizmo just seen you posted that earlier, my bad. Enjoy the show fellas.
Gizmo Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 So it's as good as confirmed that the PS3 Slim is on its way, releasing 24th of August (in the USA at least) for $299. Previous leaks have indicated a European launch of September 2nd. Edit: Beaten on the details by HoT! Looks like I'll be joining the ranks of the PS3 owners soon
dwarf Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 That is incredible value if true, apart from it looking shit if those images are to be believed.
Pit-Jr Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 That is a damn good deal! i may have to get a back up in case my old one kicks it
Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I just pray it looks better than the crappy cheap looking ones we've seen.
Emasher Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 At that price, it sounds too good to be true. I'm also curious what the original ones will be going for while being cleared though.
Pit-Jr Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Wait, this is scheduled for next week? I call BS! Maybe they just mean theyll start taking preorders then? That price is also suspect. Its a smart price point of course, but this is Sony were talking about

Not long to go to see how true all of this is Edit: Sorry Gizmo just seen you posted that earlier, my bad. Enjoy the show fellas. None of the details are real. Neogaf are just playing a prank by emailing KMart their info and their own mockup pic. They want Kotaku to write a fake story again. PS3 and PSP bundles?
KKOB Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I'm just looking forward to the Placebo videos on VidZone tomorrow :/
Emasher Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Just so none of you have to madly pound the refresh button with the live blogs, Kotaku, as usual will having an auto updating one. Its not up yet though.
Domstercool Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Finally decided to see how Monster Hunter Freedom Unite works with the AD-HOC Party application, works awesome I've been playing some multi with some dudes online
Choze Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Vidzone might be extended. Seriously i dont understand why Sony dont just open up to other companies for stuff like Vidzone. Imagine a real app for youtube for example.
Dante Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 None of the details are real. Neogaf are just playing a prank by emailing KMart their info and their own mockup pic. They want Kotaku to write a fake story again. Only said Kotaku is slow with this news and joking about sending mocks-up of PS3 Slim images to Kmart.
