[RUMOR] Sony planning "huge" PS3 announcement at E3?


Recommended Posts

Announce 80GB-quality emulation on the 40GB PS3 and Sony pretty much have my purchase, honest to god. The only thing stopping me would be the lack of money (not even the price, the price is actually quite comfortable for me now). Hopefully I'll be getting a job soon-ish, so that might not even be an issue.

Anyway, enough of my pipe dreams :p I'm guessing it's something to do with God of War 3, or Home.

I'm hoping it has something to do with BC, or at least that's another announcement at E3. I've been wanting to play some GoW again.

Profile 2.0 and DTS HD & Dolby TrueHD support.....pls

Profile 2.0 support is coming in the next month or two apparently (source). BDA were also using a PS3 to demo Profile 2.0 (source) so while it still not confirmed by Sony, it's looks like it will happen.

How? even with software emulation that will not promise 100% compatiblity. The thing is I don't think backwards compatiblity is that important to Sony anymore (it was a great selling point to begin with though) considering the 40Gb has no PS2 support and apparently there is a new model (based off the 40Gb) coming. If anything, they might announce a new model that will have 100% backwards compatibility (i.e. they figured out how to make the EE + GS cheaper) but I doubt 40Gb owners will ever see PS2 compatibility (I could be wrong, but the feeling I get was the 40Gb was never intended to play PS2 games, period)

However, I think the announcement won't be on that at all. My guess is it might have something todo with the recent Blu-Ray victory (I'm probally totally wrong, but somehow I get a feeling Sony really wanna rub it in MS's face that they won) of cause this is purely my opinion and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Nah. It's four months away. I'm sure it'll be something about Home.

Although, to say "Sony will have a big announcement about it's current-gen gaming machine at a largely gaming conference" seems kind of redundant. Way to step way out there on a limb.

If it's about Home, I could careless. But here's to hoping we get some information on in-game XMB. :)

I don't see how you can have a huge announcement over a few games... it has to be something significant so I'm guessing hardware revisions or changes. Maybe were getting full software backwards-compatibility for free as a download off PSN. :D

My vote goes for Home.

On a side note, it seems to be really peaceful in the Sony section recently.

Where has all the trolls gone?

Threads like this used to go down in flames...

Here's hoping its Home, In-game XMB, and release dates for loads of games, LittleBigPlanet and Killzone2 Beta's too.

I'm not sure how well I would survive if all of that was in one conference, lol.

My vote goes for Home.

They got shoo'd back to their own sections, thank heavens, only get one or two around these days.

And everyone just seems to get on better with each other now too.

I just hope they fix the psn store, not even asking for LBP anymore. E3 huge announcements by Sony usually take ~2 years until they come true.

could it be something to do with the PSN store, like a new interface or music and movie downloads etc?

+1

I think the idea of downloading PS2 titles is not impossible. I would like to see movie downloads sooner to compete with Xbox Live. I would have hoped this was before E3 but hey I guess you can not rush these things ;)

How would GOW3 or Killzone 2 be a huge announcement? Everyone knows those games are coming.

If they went on sale that day...that would be a huge announcement.

heh, word up. im hoping its not HOME, because we better have a god damn public beta by july!
