Sony's Press Conference


So Sony's Press Conference just finished. Every ones cards are on the table and again this year Sony took the cake for best Press Conference. They announced feature after feature game after game, everything everyone wanted to hear! The 80GB PS3 basically got a price drop cutting out the 40GB at just $399. Sony announced the Video Marketplace goes Live tonight with the most popular movie and TV show providers. You can buy or rent Movies available in both SD and HD and TV shows are available to buy in SD or HD. Movies are $6 for a rental from $10 to $15 to purchase. TV shows are $2 which is inline with every other provider. One thing Jack Tretton who directed the whole Conference was wrong about is that this is the year of the PS3 he was wrong it is the year of Playstation. With huge games coming to PSP, PS2, and PS3 the Playstation brand is alive and kicking. PSP games include the likes of portable versions of Resistance: Retributions and Super Stardust Portable. Plus all of the other games Loccorocco 2 and Patapon 2. The PS2 is getting more games like a new Singstar, Mercenaries 2, and all of the sports games from EA. Sony's Flagship console the Playstation 3 is getting newly annouonced heavy hitters like God of War 3, MAG (Massive Action Game) plus the usual Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Infamous, and the Ratchet and Clank expansion Quest for Booty. Sony announced that "Life with Playsation" will be out by the end of the month. Sony truly has the Systems to beat this holiday season and beyond. Also with the creators of Mirrors Edge, Farcry 2, and Fallout 3 saying how the PS3 is better suited for there games means third party game makers are finally seeing that the PS3 is the Powerhouse Sony intended it to be!
