question on the bingo card. since the too human demo was annouced before the conference do we get it as a free space or do we have to have them annouce it in the conference

Ross Miller: Jul 11th 2008; 12:01PM

free space. check post, we already gave it to ya

Looking forward to Microsoft's more than anything. They have the most big games on show, and should have some interesting announcements.. 3D avatars, motion control, etc.

Nintendo, I'm not too sure about. They don't seem to have anything coming out this year at all, but I wouldn't be surprised if they have some megaton secrets. I also wouldn't be surprised if they were once again, crushingly disappointing though.

And well.. anything has to be better than Sony's last few efforts, right?

Phantom: Jul 10th 2008; 9:59PM

Well , Sony has plenty to show if they fell like it . God of War 3 , home , LBP , Killzone 2 , Resistance 2 etc. IMO Sony has the best line-up to show off .

Of course if they show FFXII than they'll just pwn everything else at the show , since nobody else really has as much as Sony to offer this E3 .

Snowblind: Jul 11th 2008; 6:44AM

Oh, not denying they have a great line up, but their past few conferences have basically felt like board meetings, and were extremely boring.

FSK405K: Jul 10th 2008; 8:44PM

Let's hope this year's is more interesting than a drop-by by Jamie Kennedy and Slash. Maybe, if we're lucky, they can showcase Ross Perot and Ben Stein!

Danny: Jul 10th 2008; 9:04PM

Isn't Son'ys conference at 2:30PM ET?

Red_Maniac: Jul 10th 2008; 9:04PM

Screw Jamie Kennedy.

I just want Sony to announce Genji 3.

kastonie: Jul 10th 2008; 10:28PM

I read that there's also a Square-Enix press conference Monday at 12:30 PDT.

Josh: Jul 13th 2008; 8:46PM

Also,

"Sony (last year, bingo card): 11:30 am PT / 1:30 pm ET"

Should be 2:30 PM ET. And you might as well link to the Nintendo bingo card now.
