E3 09: Sony says 'shockers' are still to come [Update] photo

With the PSP Go, new Metal Gear and Slim PS3 nonsense, you'd think the E3 wind had been well and truly taken out of Sony's sails. Think again, however, as the platform holder promises that it still has a few surprises in the bag. We're guessing Jack Tretton will reveal himself to be a woman. I'd like that.

"Pre-E3 announcements or not!" Tweets Sony demagogue Jake Osuwah. "There's still lots of shockers planned for you guys @ E3, stay tuned." I love that he referred to the PSP Go leak as an "announcement." Yeah, you guys totally meant to let that Qore episode leak onto the Internet, you wily dogs.

What do you think? Genuine promise of bountiful offerings, or marketing bull designed to lead down a merry road of disappointment and PS Home announcements? Hopefully Sony has something pretty special in the bag, because you can be sure this new PSP was suppose to be their biggie this year, and most people don't even like the bloody thing.

[Update: Our boy Dale tells us it's a fake-O. Quite why someone would want to fake this is beyond me, but whatever.]

I think they have at least one big game reveal left in them, and due to the leaks may reveal the PS# slim (if they were actually making it.) I think it has a chance to be a good solid showing for them. The again, I actually kind of like the PSP Go design. I still want to try out the nub before I'm sold, but I like the look.

They probably still have something up their sleeve, considering every E3 so far they have always managed to hide something to the last minute.

i personally think they are going to reveal some kind of motion sensing controller.

Like the sixaxis, but usable and with a better name.

Ahh, who am i kidding, they are probably going to announce killzone 3, coming 2019.

Shockers like FFVII, a new MGS, and Gran Turismo for the PSP? Honestly, I don't know what else they have up their sleeves, but hopefully one of them is a $299 PS3.

Shockers? The PSP Go! and everything else has been a pant load of bullshit. They better hope they have something left.

I'm really starting to hate the editors on this site... I won't even go into detail; I'm sure they're aware of what I'm talking about.
