I love going to bed, waking up the next day and going to work to read the insanity that has brewed from at least 3 hours of people talking about a big announcement. I hope for a mix of great and terrible news, for maximum hilarity.

Yes! I want my PS3 damn it!!
Actually if they just announced the US info and held off on the Euro announcement until next year that'd be fine with me too.
Sorry Europe-Age. I've got nothing but love for ya but I do not envy your position one bit when it comes to hardware releases. Especially Sony hardware releases.

Setting my alarm to 8 AM, I think some news should have leaked out by then. 
What I hope to see:
* King Ken showing a working PS3 unit.
* King Ken showing off OS functions (I really want to see what multimedia functions the PS3 offers)
* The "new" controller
* The online plan or a preview of it.
* Some new games, perhaps launch games (they have to save something for E3), WarHawk, Lair, whatever the Japanese devs have planned for the launch etc. No more target renders.
* Information on when PSP Connect launches, + other info on the new firmware.

I'm not sure price is certain at all. Sure, Sony announced PS2's price 6 months in advance of launch, but they waited till about a month before launch for the PSP price. They've said before that PS3's price likely won't be decided till the latest possible moment..
It's worth noting they didn't even give a PSP release date till a month in advance o_0. So we could still just get a more general, non-specific launch window tomorrow (albeit an updated, delayed one).

Exactly. Fuck delay news, they need to launch the system in Japan ASAP. We don't even know if the Japanese companies are ready or not but I think they are -_-
Hah... well I just learned a new bit of information regarding or new friend Boxguy.
Months ago, he was scheduled to reveal himself on the 15th. The fact that it's the same exact day as the PlayStation 15th event is completely by coincidence. Duhhrr... :lol Of course I didn't know that little detail the other day.

I'm not sure if even dancing A.C. will be able to help us... Come on 1 AM.
What we don't know is when they decided to push back the February confererence. Maybe it had already happened when UTL NDAs were signed?
Aren't more NDAs supposed to expire throughout March?
EDIT:
That's debatable. I was also referring more to the months following the launch. I'd be OK with an post-launch drought though, as long as the initial batch was of high quality like it was with the PSP.

some more details

I don't think what we're getting tomorrow is what they were initially planning for Feb. Things no doubt have changed.
I think what we see at the conference is what we'll get - I doubt there'll be seperate announcements by publishers. HOWEVER, if a solid launch date is announced - and that may still be a big if - I expect it would pave the way for publishers, particularly Japanese publishers, to independently kick-start promotion of their PS3 games in the coming weeks and months.

Probably not, but that doesn't change the likelihood that pubs have probably been planning their announcements to start sometime around the official re-unveiling of the PS3. In other words, I don't think the timing of the UTL announcement is coincidence.gofreak said:

PS3 is an awesome machine and that Cell is the most powerful thing ever, it can control every nuclear missile in the entire world if put in the wrong hands so middle eastern countries get a retardpack bundle with only 50% use of cells power

Well, the PS2 price drop seems to have been confirmed already!
Some retailers are listing the PS2+FFXII bundle for 24,000 while it would usually retail for around 29,000. Since it goes on sale on Thursday, many are speculating that a 5000 yen price drop will be announced tomorrow - i.e. the PS2 will cost 15,000 yen.

Hmmm, I wonder if we'll see a pricedrop in the west following suit. Also, perhaps a PSP price drop will happen soon too?
Heh, yeah Sony will probably announce the PSP w/ 4gig flash memory for $299 or $349. :/
I think Sony is just going to add more gear to the PSP to keep it at least $250.

PS3 @ $399 (roughly japanese price) and scheduled for Sept '06 release. No Hard-drive.

PS3? Uhh, I dunno.
But I really think we are going to get some of those LOVELY shipped figures that GAF likes :lol

Maybe I'm crazy, but didn't someone from Sony once say something to the effect of "PSP will never drop in price"? Maybe that is what they meant -- like the top-shelf iPods remaining at a certain price point, there will always be some configuration of the PSP that is $250.Mrbob said:
