I call bingo since you're supposed to get the center block for free and since they did announce a new PSP bundle with an exclusive color. Yes, it's not a NEW color per se, but come on, somebody's got to bingo...

Technically we got a new PSP color... a Silver Ratchet & Clank bundle. Don't know if it's brand new but it's a bundle!

yes the boomerang. how we never knew ye.
i think that controller would have been awesome but everyone complained it away. if you look closely at a Gamecube controller and then the boomerang, it reminds me very much of that. and i like the Gamecube control.

Ya know, I don't really count that as a loss for sony. Yes, it would have been awesome to have FFXIII as an exclusive, but the odds that cash strapped square-enix is going to make money on that is not very high. I think the bigger win for sony is getting bioshock and eternal sonata out from m$ grubby little fingers. Especially if we get new content for both games above an beyond what the crap box 360 has.

Free space should have been Home because you knew they were going to mention that.

I really wanted a new controller. Is TGS a possibility?

I'm not entirely sure what the "show-stealer" would be for Sony? They had decent enough content, but nothing in their press conference really stole the show.

Thats true. They didnt say anything new about Home, its like it doesnt exist.
We already knew the beta was open. We do we get it is the question.

Your Sony bingo has a couple of NO things. How is thats good or news.
"We didnt announce a new Halo, so thats news!"
Why not just write No PSP2 announcement.
Thats just wrong Joystiq.

I give Sony a "B" for there presentation. They talked about everything we wanted to hear and their presentation was pretty entertaining specially the numbers talk with Littlebigplanet acting as the charts and such. The only reason they don't get an "A" is the simple fact that there was nothing that really shocked or surprised anyone.

I'm really hoping we see Tekken 6 at Namco's conference.
Choosing R2 over KZ2 was a mistake on Sony's part.
Hey Joystiq
when is Ubisoft's confernce?
When is Take two's Conference?
When is Namco bandai's conference?
When is Tecmo's conference?

Highlighting a sequel to a good game instead of a mediocre one is a bad thing?

Definitely the right move.
1. Resistance was pretty good, I'm looking forward to the sequel. Killzone, was not good, and I am not looking forward to a sequel. A few pretty CGI trailers are not going to change my opinion.
2. Resistance 2 is out THIS year. If anything, there should have been even more of a focus on this year, instead of next.
Trying to hype a sequel to such a mediocre and disappointing game is a terrible idea. They should just release it, and let us see for ourselves. If it turns out to be good, then great, if not, meh.

Killzone 1 is not mediocre just not as good or epic a box office game.

I just want a new DOA game either Code or 5.

Well to be honest LBP was the most entertaining part of the show.

I thought the announcement that the video on demand service is available tonight was pretty surprising. The list of on board distributors was much longer than speculated as well. Although that isn't really game related.
I will admit when they said 256 player online for MAG, I let a "wow" slip out.
Overall, pretty good, I'm excited as a PS3 owner. I would be surprised if there weren't more surprises coming later in the week from the 3rd parties.

gotta object to the show stealer, unless you are referring to the LBP numbers presentation stealing the Sony show (because there wasn't much else). But no way was LBP or Loco Roco 2 in any way the E3 show stealer.

Joystiq, your bingo cards suck.
You should've gotten in line earlier to get better cards with different arrangements. You might've won then...

Still waiting to hear what the show stealer was, and think that earning two Xs for "no FF13/no PSEye" is pretty cheap.

I take it you guys don't actually know how to play Bingo.
You don't get bingo by having a line all in the G column. You simply need a line across the letters, as someone suggested, the center being free and if there was a new PSP color.
... And some people play Bingo where you just need to get each letter, and don't even need a line (when the center isn't free)... so if that were the case you WOULD have had a BINGO (at the end only, because we needed to know for sure that there was no FF13 news).

The FF13 announcement means nothing for PS3 gamers. Unless the PS3 version gets delayed in US and Europe because of it. Sadly it won't even come out in the foreseeable future.
I was kinda hoping for some WKS and Team Ico love though.

They need to release a UMD player for the PS3, like the gamecube had. It would probably be disastrous for them, but i want one, so that should justify it.
