SONY STRIKE BACK! PS3 WILL BE AT E3!

[Domination]

Oh how we love this industry sometimes. Just as it seemed Microsoft was set to sweep all before it and make E3 2005 the Xbox 360 show, Sony will strike back next week at the industry's annual jamboree by unveiling the first actual PS3 unit to an eagerly waiting world.

Speaking on conditions of strict anonymity, a trusted insider source has revealed to C&VG that Sony will unveil an actual prototype PS3 unit on their next-generation booth and that rather than just a mock up, it will be a near final design of the next generation of PlayStation.

It's been such a closely guarded secret that the appearance of PS3 has been deliberately kept off any show program sheet and will apparently be kept under strict guard by members of the LAPD.


Amazing stuff, because it was widely expected that Sony would focus on PSP and its current generation this year, before trying to steal next year's show with the PS3. But it seems Sony will deploy an actual PS3 unit to steal some of the Xbox 360's thunder.

More amazing revelations to follow, but remember where you read it first.

I didin't expect this at all. Behind closed doors was the most logical prediction since they are launching late, but it seems Sony is being bold this time around.

Well thought sony was going to show the ps3 maj 12 ? And now the xbox360 specs and design announced, give us something to show sony :D

[stanDarsh]

Interesting if true, however it is C&VG reporting it after all, so I'll believe it when I see it!

Yeah, I feel the same way. I hope the PS3 design gets me all excited like a kid like when I saw the PS2 for the first time. The 360 just doesn't do anything for me.

[oxygenuk]

wow, yes!!!! :twisted: :shock: *goes mental over excitement*

[Grandia]

Here is to hoping that it's a great design...don't disappoint Sony...

[diOndOrAntt]

Why am i so excited?

[FerrianX]

Well if it's true then this is one Friday the 13th M$ will never forget!

If Sony does bring out a prototype at E3 it might prove as a triple threat to M$. Ps2 is still going strong and has plenty of games to be shown off for it, PSP also has alot to prove so that will be shown strong, and now with the Ps3 to potentially be there... :twisted:

Maybe M$ should consider a June launch date lmao :lol:

[MiThRaZoR]

Why am i so excited?

Cause you've been staring at you avatar too long..

Anyway, I'm just glad they're gonna do what they were gonna do before. Which was show it at E3. After many downsides now they hopefully will show it at E3.

[Coded-Dude]

SONY's E3 coverage begins with a countdown...
:shock: THE EXCITEMENT BEGINS (http://www.us.playstation.com/Content/Sites/68/Info/default.aspx?DCMP=PS2News0505&ATT=E3) :shock:

[Shai-Hulud]

Whoa! LAPD escort. this is really BIG... i hope we will see something truly groundbreaking at e3..

[The_One]

Whoa! LAPD escort. this is really BIG... i hope we will see something truly groundbreaking at e3..Hmm... If the LAPD will be there, does that mean it'll be a fully functioning unit? Afterall... There's no point to steal an empty box, so there won't be any reason to protect it if it wasn't the real thing.

[Handycrap101]

Yeah, I feel the same way. I hope the PS3 design gets me all excited like a kid like when I saw the PS2 for the first time. The 360 just doesn't do anything for me.


Thats your Sony blood talking there... I feel the same way about the XBOX 1.5's look. (It's ugly)

[O.D.S]

let me get this right,

The PS3 WILL be shown at E3?

but it will only be a PROTOTYPE?

then does that mean all that we will see is 1500 wires and a cell chip in a cardboard box or will they have an 'idea' of what it will look like on display?



If i was sony and the PS3 was functional i wouldn't trust the LAPD with it!(crime will rise 400% during E3 :lol: )

[verticalslik]

oooooooooo i wish there was a leak, i want to see this some b!tch real bad
(ok, someone needs to watch this, its nintendo, its cool tho)

You expect people to attempt to walk off a prototype PS3 in the middle of the second largest gaming event in the world?

even after the doors are closed there will still be a lot of people around.

[sub1zero]

2nd Largest ?? What's the first ??

[the legendary ice man]

I always thought TGS was bigger than E3.

or maybe...Playstation Experience - just for laughs :D

[Mordecaii]

No, I believe TGS is second biggest... but I could be wrong... :)

[the legendary ice man]

more information is usually revealed about E3 bound titles and hardware - which is why I came to my conclusion.
