    created by Twilight, winner of the Sony E3 2011 Banner Challenge!

    Welcome to the E3 2011 Sony Press Conference Discussion

    Hello my fellow Giant Bomb-ers! Unless you have been kidnapped by pirates with no TV, phone or Internet access, you know that E3 2011 is upon us. Going with tradition, each of the major three platform companies along with a few of the biggest publishers will be giving press conferences to discuss the past, present and future of their company and the video game industry as a whole. To make the Giant Bomb community more orderly and easier to navigate, we have created an official "sticky" thread for each of the press conferences. This thread is dedicated to the discussion of everyone's general feelings/opinions/thoughts of the Sony press conference.

    Keep Discussion On-Topic!

    This thread is solely for the general discussion of the Sony press conference. What does this mean? Well...

    • Only discussion of the Sony press conference is allowed. Please keep discussion of the other press conferences in their respective stickied threads.
    • No off-topic discussion at any time. Want to talk about the NBA or Stanley Cup Finals? Do so in other threads.

    Any posts/discussions found in this thread that do not directly relate to the generality of the Sony press conference will result in the guilty user(s) being sent a PM by one of the moderators.

    Specific Announcements

    Naturally with any E3, there will be a lot of specific announcements that you would like to discuss with your fellow users in the Giant Bomb community. We certainly welcome this enthusiasm and drive. However, we want this thread to only be about the overall general discussion of the Sony press conference. We ask you to direct all threads/posts/discussions of specific announcements in the forums where they belong. You can learn best how to do this in our E3 2011 and You! thread tutorial.

    Game Forums

    As with specific announcement, we would like for you to not get caught up in deep discussions of individual games in this thread. Instead, we direct you to take those discussions into their respective forums(again, you can learn more about this in the aforementioned E3 2011 and You! thread). Don't forget, please don't overload the Sony forum with discussions of individual games. Breaking either of these rules will also result in the guilty user(s) being sent a PM by one of the moderators.

    Some Sony press conference related forums you might want to use:

    "Newly announced

    General Rules & Guidelines

    Even during the week of full throttle shenanigans knows as E3, the normal rules and guidelines of the Giant Bomb community still apply. You can update yourself on the forum and wiki rules by visiting the Giant Bomb FAQ thread. In there, you can learn about all of the rules and proper instructions for the forums and Wiki. The sequence of punishments for breaking these rules still apply as well.

    Live Streams

    You can watch the Sony press conference on the following live streams:

    This one's going to be the most interesting from a business perspective. That's not to say the other Big 2 aren't, but with Sony's stumbles here lately, this one's gonna need to be something special. I'm hoping for some Final Fantasy goodness, and a few surprises.

    This'll be the only conference I'll get to watch live, so I hope it's a good one. 
     
    Also, I hope the E3 guys hired a good clean-up crew to wipe up the gore after Jack Tretton murders Kevin Butler on-stage.

    MS didn't make a joke about the situation because they are scared. If they gloat and poke fun that Live was safe and didn't get hacked, they would be hit tomorrow.
