    If they were smart, Home 2D would be an AJAX/Flash web-accessible app, a sort of social network for the web. Kinda like Google Earth (3D, native) vs Google Maps (2D, shares much of the same data, but runs in browser)

    I'm in the bandwagon of hoping to see some God of War 3 footage.

    Game only predictions I see...
     
  7. I don't think there are going to be any important hardware annoucments.

    PS3 Slim? To soon.
    PSP-3000 or PSPPhone? Less than a year after the PSP-2000 launch? Probably not.

    Maybe a new controler.

    Well i dont really care for Microsoft 3rd party exclusives (how many real 3rd party exclusives are there?)

    What i really like about the PS3 stuff is actual original new games.

    A non-game announcement doesn't have to be about hardware...

    No.

    Unless you count the current Lightwavefest as "showing Wardevil".

    I expect Sony to stress heavily not-exactly-hardcore-gaming stuff like Home and LBP and that News channel and downloadable video etc.

    You don't think that maybe there will be media functionality related announcements?

    Anyway people I'm with Rancid, can we discuss what's actually announced vs everyone putting their hats in the ring with speculation?

    Home isn't a game :D

    We'll see.
     

  13. Of course, i didn't think about it. Probably Movie and Music Store. New PSP Firm version already supports that.

    People may only just be arriving since the conference hall is far from the Nintendo one.

    edit: It begins...

    Have I mentioned before how much I dislike Jack Tretton?

    This whole "only possible due to Blu-ray" stuff is what clouds the actual positive messages and causes noise and bickering to rise to the fore. I fear he has only the most basic grasp of technology himself also, which makes it all the worse for me.

    Hopefully they don't overdo the scripting in Resistance 2. Anyway, 8 player coop sounds really nice...
