Seriously, don't they know the conference is over?

 

[V_Ben]

PS Community Guy: Musterbuster's twitter;

Conference starts in about 45 mins for those wondering

I think they stealth delayed it :lol

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Did the 160GB PS3 get announced or did Amazon just blow it?

Gamestop did first, followed by Newegg earlier this week.

 

[Cerberus]

Kotaku says doors haven't been opened yet.

Crecente:

Edit: Nevermind. I suck!

 

[Blablurn]

there won't be a PSPhone.

 

[CozMick]

GT5 is happening tomorrow apparently.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[yurinka]

would a PSPhone really be announced here?

If PS comes from Playstation, maybe yes.

 

[offshore]

Only at SCEE.

They have not. The plan that it will start at 19:00 LT has been shown in here before.

It's just that EU and US blogs can't convert the time to their format because they don't understand what timezone Germany is in.

This conference needs to bring back the translate man back from more GT 5 awesomeness.

 

[Nemo]

:lol

Boo at text updates tho

 

[cws]

:lol @sony pissing of the gaming media.....they better have some free ps3 slim consoles ready

 

[ULTROS!]

By the way, the event won't actually start for another 45 minutes. Sony just invited everyone early so they could stand outside for an hour. [

:lol

[Firewire]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Maybe we get a new trailer today from the conference but the blow out is supposed to be tomorrow.

 

[demosthenes]

Maybe Sony is trying to arrange some big announcement?

 

[KZObsessed]

GT5 is tomorrow? Nooooooooooooooo...oh well KZ3 day it is

 

[scoobs]

If we get any KZ3 MP footage i will blow my load all over

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

GT5 is tomorrow? Nooooooooooooooo...oh well KZ3 day it is

There will still be at least a trailer.

 

[ULTROS!]

There's an Xzibit joke in here somewhere.

Seriously SCEE fucks up everything.

 

[Cerberus]

How long is the conference?

Probably 1.5 hours. PS Blog says that new trailers will be up at 11:30 PST.

 

[Razor210]

gg Sony

 

[Loudninja]

Didn't we already know this?

I don't understand that decision. GT5 is their HUGE game for the European market yet they don't give it the full blow out it deserves in their press conference. Once again Sony Marketing and PR baffles me. In fact the entire marketing schedule for GT5 has baffled me, I still remember last year when everyone here was convinced they were going to announce it for a Fall 2009 release.

I'm hoping for lots of KZ3 multiplayer footage, can't wait. I played with the GAF clan on release but after reaching general got burnt out with the game. I honestly didn't find the mechanics suitable for multiplayer at all, despite me loving the singleplayer. I hope the changes to the control mechanics really do get people actually playing KZ3 MP for an extended period of time.

are you indirectly calling us manchildren?

 

[RoboPlato]

How long is the conference?

I think it's about an hour and a half. The PS Blog says that at 11:30AM PST they'll have a bunch of trailers from the conference. That's about 2 hours from now.

 

[CozMick]

If we get any KZ3 MP footage i will blow my load all over

Me and you both.

I'm starting to shake with excitement :lol

From GTPlanet: "Sony themselves have already confirmed that Gran Turismo 5 will be featured in the conference, so expect some major announcements. "

Tomorrow's break-out session is invite-only with a small group of attendees. There will be plenty of GT5 at the conference today.

 

[offshore]

I don't think it will be an hour and a half, unless they've got some mammoth stuff. Last years was only about 50 minutes if I remember correctly.

 

[Ninja Moomin]

lol looks like someone fucked up the invites....


also, surely there must have been some press kits sent out so people can prepare content for stuff thats announced today.....

can't anyone make any educated guesses ?

 

[TheFury]

Is there a general consensus on who has the best live blogs? I'll have a couple open, but I want my bases covered if no video stream shows up.

 

[SolidusDave]

The event seems to be on time just as planned, but it looks like someone at Sony announced a wrong time to everyone including Sony itself.

imagine if this time zone mistake was the other way around and everyone would be an hour late while Sony is presenting TLG in an empty room

GTP is about to have a nervous breakdown. :[

 

[KZObsessed]

Didn't realise we were a collective with one shared mind.

And looks like GT5 will be at the conference anyway yay!

 

[MassiveAttack]

So no Last Guardian until TGS... right?

Stephany:
In the meantime have a look at this. http://cdn.maximonline.com/girls/laura_prepon_2/laura-prepon-2-gm_l10.jpg

From the US blog.

James Gallagher:
Nothing to see for the time being. We'll be up and running in less than half an hour so maybe go and have a quick deathmatch or something and come back for the start.

Ok good, that's a lot better. I think, if Sony show the right things it really can steal the show for the public. Us Europeans go nuts for our cars and GT is car porn, pure and simple. The way people were spreading it around before made it sound like this would be another one of those occasions where Sony would quietly shoo GT under the carpet with the preface that there would be plenty more opportunities to have a "blow out" before launch.
