    It's crazy how many suprises they provided. I couldn't believe just how much they showed, and how well they showed them.

    Wow, Sony had the best conference of E3 by far. And that's coming from someone who only owns a X360.

    Second best conference was Ubisoft!

    Sony had the best conference by FUCKING MILES.  ANYONE who disagrees is either an fanboy or an idiot or more likely both.  There I said it.

    Didn't think it was that great. Too much time on the wand (which is waaay too early in development to show) and ModRacers (track creators have been around for a while). I didn't see the MEGATON announcement either (online FF doesn't count).

    @Karmum:

    So barely showing games at a press conference at an expo for games when your company is there for gaming is good for the games you want everyone to get excited about. When I goto conferences for my job no matter what industry im being presented with they tend to show me product and what's coming down the pipes. I only see numbers and shit when absolutely necessary.

    Final Fantasy 14? What about 13 and Versus? Lol. Crazy.

    Pretty good press conference. Overall I'd say 1) Microsoft 2) Sony 3) Nintendo.

    Even with Nintendo showing off some actual decent games this year, they still come in 3rd :P

    God of War 3 looked good, but there was something odd with the pacing and the soundtrack. It's getting there, and I sighed relief when they said March 2010. Excellent show. Sony knows their audience (hardcore), Nintendo knows their audience (casual), and Microsoft seems to want a little bit from column A and column B.

    That was by far the best of the conferences. Which is damn annoying since I don't own a PS3 or PSP, and I can't afford one.

    People who own a PS3 are lucky right now. The biggest thing xbox users have to look forward to is Natal. Whoop-dee-doo.

    I guess there is some good games coming out for the 360 too.

    As far as i've been keeping track of e3, that's the single best conference i think i've seen. Tons of hot games across both platforms, and some cool tech and hardware stuff. I'm amazed.

    Meh. Don't get what all the excitement is about. Nothing that shocking to me and nothing they really showed holds much interest to me. PSP Go that isn't replacing the PSP-3000? Stupid idea. Focus on music? Rofl. No one in their right mind uses that thing as a music player.

    So yeah, call me stupid, idiotic, fanboy whatever you want. But to me, it just wasn't all that great.

    I think I got really really interested after they showed off MGS: Peace Walker.  (Man, that name sounds so fake, but after the whole ordeal with everyone thinking that Snake Eater was totally fake, I just take it for fact).  That game looks sick.  And them just saying the few words about Agent has me totally excited for that game.  I really do hope that Rockstar would at least drop a set of 5-10 images and a short trailer just to get the feel, but the way they explained it has me super pumped!

    Since GO does not have a UMD slot, a lot of people won't be into it. Some folks are die hard for hard copies... other prefer digital distro.

    it's called timing, think about it logically for more than a second and you can figure out how someone given time can improve old tech. Of course sony can make a better motion controller than nintendo. There are kids in college that can do the same. It is because there is already a precedent for it jesus tits.

    Okay so the only weak part was the wii-mote ripoff, but it turned out pretty impressive, far more precise than the wii plus. he did things i didn't expect, like incorperate the camera and you could see him holding the object very accurately. but o well, it doesn't really interest me. 


    The demonstrated MAG, Uncharted 2, Gran Turismo 5 (that was impressive, they'll have Rally, Nascar- hopefully all the names and drivers are on board- and the damage looked great), God of War 3, ugh. that looked incredible, the Jaffe hype is now a reality. Dude. Wow. Can't wait for these games to be released.

    Ok. God of War 3. Very very very very very nice! MAG=crazyness=i must own. Uncharted 2 looks ok, the gunplay still disturbes me a good bit, ill have to get my hands on it before i saw anymore. And finally the motor racing thingy looks soo fucking awesome! I cannot wait to play that little thingy. Everything else they showed didnt really impress me. Good showing.
    So far im like...
    I think MS won it for me on the SC and ODST. But God of War 3 looks mighty good....this is a close one...sony had some awesome...ms had some awesome...not quite sure who won it imo...

    I'm curious what MS actually showed this year that tipped people's opinion away from what Sony just showed?

    Natal is a cool concept, but I can't be swayed by an idea.

    I think that may have been my favourite 'presser' of the show so far.  Jack Tretton is a good front man; he gets the job done without the pomposity of other executives.  The games were also fairly interesting.

    If they announce a price drop then they can't do wrong. My feelings are that we will see a price drop announced before this upcoming holiday season. I will wait until the Tokyo Game Show to see more.

    Some of you guys are on crack, Sony had a weak presentation through and through, with the lame wiimote stuff, very few interesting titles, way too much racing titles, no rpgs except ff14 which is an mmo.

    I'm disapointed by sony. Nintendo had a better presentation, and coming frmo a guy who has a ps3, that says alot about how I feel.

    + Build your own kart racing looks to be fun as long as it's balanced
    + Final Fantasy XIV Online (though I highly doubt it'll remain exclusive)

    - PSP Go priced a little high; marginal update like that of DSi
    - No price drop
