Sony Announcements at E3 2009

2009-06-02
what's up guys John revenue here today is Tuesday June 2nd and today is the second day of the ìiî the big video game conference held in Los Angeles now today's keynote speakers were Nintendo which I gave a full recap on earlier in the day and then so me took the stage a few hours later following Microsoft yesterday and what sony had in store was very interesting so without further ado let's get right into it Sony opened their keynote by talking about leaks and that's media leaks it was no secret if you follow the tech world that Sony was going to release a new PSP dump the PSP go it'll talk about a little bit and it was all over the internet video specs pictures is very interesting you see Sony actually acknowledged the leaks and it kind of makes you wonder where these leaks are coming from maybe Sony is even doing it themselves to help hype up devices or maybe even companies are leaking these things themselves to build hype it certainly wouldn't be a surprise so let's get into the goodness and what they started talking about conference just ended a few hours ago I forgot some notes in front of me so excuse me if I'm looking down here so first what they announced and demoed were a ton of new games for the ps3 I mean just an absolute ton some of the highlights that they announced were uncharted 2 a new God of War game Madden Final Fantasy 13 Tekken suck Guitar Hero van Halen really convinient and and a new exclusive from rockstar the company that made grand theft auto called it agent I think that Sony is trying to get some of their exclusives back since they lost a lot of them to the Xbox so good for Sony for trying to push the video game exclusivity forward more exclusive titles generally mean increased sales so certainly they're trending in the right direction so the next thing they announced in the real non surprise of u3 was the PSP go essentially what that is is a UMD the UMD if you don't know was the little disc that held the game they would insert into your PSP a UMD less so no UMD sliding version of the PSP and if you wanna know what it looks like you know online or think Sony Milo was their internet device except in a PSP version it's got 16 gigabytes of online flash storage it's got bluetooth and Wi-Fi and they're kind of the cool things about it since there is no physical media all the games will be downloaded from a new PlayStation Network in addition to just being able to download the full games they'll also be able to download movies TV shows custom playlists really upping the game with the PlayStation Network so that really is quite cool actually so look for the PSP go that's gonna run you 249 they didn't give a release date but they were showing the device off fully functional last thing that wouldn't be too far out I should mention though that this is not gonna replace the current PSP 3000 they're gonna be sold next to each other people tend to like having physical disks and all the games that are available for download also be available on UMD so if you have a PSP 2000 or 3000 he'll be able just to pop it right in and still be able to play and I wouldn't assume that all these features are gonna be available on the PSP 3000 although they could certainly be updated via firmware we're still kind of waiting on Sony to give an official word on that they also demoed a few really cool games for this new PSP go they've downloaded Gran Turismo a new Metal Gear Solid game and a new Resident Evil game which does look to be quite cool so the PSP go what do you guys think are you interested in it is it gonna make you want to upgrade from your old PSP to care one way or another so leave your comments down below they talked a little bit about PlayStation Home which is sort of like a version of The Sims almost where you can have an avatar you can walk around and socialize with other PlayStation users it's actually very cool if the other PlayStation definitely give it a download it's still available I believe in meaneth the next thing they talked about was the PlayStation motion control which is sort of like Playstations version of the Wii Remote except this thing looks like an ice-cream cone like a rectangle ice-cream cone with a big red circle on top I assumed what they showed was not the final design it must have just been a it had to have just been a prototype because the thing was ugly but it does have true one-to-one sensing so when you move it just an inch or a millimeter it'll move actually just an inch or a millimeter think the Wii remotes with the Wii MotionPlus attachment the sort of what you're getting with this new PSP motion controller it'll be available in spring 2010 certainly have a while to go so the big news with the Sony's announcement today was really the non noun sment no price cut which i think was quite a big deal and no PSP snuck PSP no PlayStation 3 slim that people were expecting all I would assume that's coming at a later date a price cut really is thinking about they're waiting for before they jump on the ps3 train so wasn't disappointed they didn't announce it but you're still getting a lot of value with the ps3 you're getting Bluetooth Wi-Fi blu-ray now you get ability to download and stream movies from the PlayStation Network it really is a very cool platform you haven't checked it out so now that all three commenters are over we can surmise sort of where they all a Microsoft focus a lot on the hardware Nintendo focused a lot on the software and Sony kind of fell right in between so guys what do you think about the Sony announcement are you excited about any of it you excited about the new games at PSP Co the PlayStation motion controller take care do not care I'm really curious I like talking about these music video game conferences and discussing with you guys so please leave comments down below and for exclusive content sure to follow me on Twitter twitter.com slash John for Lakers I'll see you guys next video buh-bye
