Straight from the Nintendo press conference in Hollywood, we're coming to you live from Sony's E3 press conference in Los Angeles. As you can see from the above picture, Sony already have a leg up on Nintendo's food-less presser -- open bar. Also in attendance: grilled cheese sandwiches, fruit, and salad. Total win. But we're not here for the food (OK, we're kind of here for the food). Dale North and I will be live blogging from the event, bringing you all of the announcements and images straight from the press conference. Hit the jump for the fun (sorry, we're keeping all of the little bits of sausage rolled in bacon for ourselves.)

OH yeah! I can't wait :). I need to take notes
It looks like they're running a little late...
I'm pretty excited!
Waiting patiently with you. :) Been looking forward to this all day. And since I was disappointed in the Wii earlier today, I desperately need a pick-me-up.
Halo War 3?
any live broadcasts happening? G4 is borked..

nvm... it's working now Presser GO!
This intro makes me want to see a basketball game starring Vin Diesel.
I meant to say Halo War for the PS3
Yakuza 2, I think, Nick.
That was a cool intro. It definitely got me hyped.
@ sheep: http://livewire.ign.com/2008/e3/index.html
You ARE famous, Nick. So famous.
Jack Palance is dead joke? Ouch.
SACKBOY!
Sony is going to be the best company at E3 this year.
2008 is the year of the PS3.
Now he's not a liar.
Wow. They have to talk about how well they did in the past. Bad sign.
HE MENTIONED ICO! YES!
I've believed that the ps3 will eventually come out on top. like the ps2/ like that guy is kind of saying.
we'll see.
And Shadow of the Colossus. Is this a sign of a Fumito Ueda announcement? Let's hope so.
nick chester are yah bored or what???
I wonder how many people owned a PS2 before the "big games" came out. His RDF is blowing my mind.
Nick - "Can we go back outside and get some food now?" lol
I'm in the kitchen scooping out the ice cream right now. Jealous?
"Only possible on the PS3 thanks, in part, to poor programming."
Nick, did you miss the whole first 15 minutes of the Wii press conference? It's standard press release fluffing :p
Damn, I'm hungry now :(
"PlayStation in 2008 is all about MGS4."
Wow, this is awesome. I'm incredibly excited right now. We are going to get some "Kick ass games"!!
2:46
1:46 my time.
Screw you guys. I haven't gotten away from work to get lunch yet. Talk about sandwiches less!
"While exclusive DLC is nice, exclusive games are what make up consumer's minds."
Not sure if that's true. SC4 is selling the best on the PS3, many think possibly due to being able to play as Darth Vader instead of Yoda (on the 360).
Tell him enough hoorah, we want details!
This needs more Chewbacca.
Gah, shut up about Blu-ray and movies!
Guy shouldn't have mentioned GTA4.
Not Exclusive.
Ya know..I'd figure the Wii has more exclusives, with all those shitty Wii-only games...*shrug*
Oh thats right...Sony doesn't think the Wii is a real console :-P
That looked interesting enough.
whoa leviathan
Wow, another "mature, gritty" FPS? Christ almighty, how many of these damn games are people making? This coming from a guy who just beat Crysis, btw.
That huge monster in resistance 2 is one of the coolest things Ive ever seen. Holy crap.
Oh my god, I want that game so bad.
Wow, Resistance 2 looks amazing.
The Bruins are really letting Tretton down, apparently.
This is a pretty inventive way to present the numbers.
Yes, it is. But I think it's so you won't really pay attention to what he's saying.
Using LBP for the statistics is a very smart move. It's so cute!
MUST... SEE... GRAPH PRESENTATION!!!
I took latin in highschool does that count?
OMG! This is the best idea ever to present it in LBP.
Finally, an awesome sales presentation. Very creative, nice job Sony, nice job.
It would've been awesome if the trailer to R2 had the "Mad World" theme playing and the 2 coming out of nowhere. People would've thought Sony was taking a Microsoft exclusive, then you show them Resistance 2 and the audience will be dumbfounded, mwhaahaha.
That's a pretty cheap use of Sackboy.
Is it me or does Jack Tretton look and sound quite like Jimmy Kimmel?
That was great. And now, a PS2 segment that nobody cares about. Oh god, it looks so much more dated than I could have imagined.
That was a freaking brilliant presentation.
Dynasty Warriors? Jim must be so excited.
I hope official distribution in Latin America will bring the price down, I have a lot of friends that want one but don't want to pay the 800-900 dollars it would cost them.
Wtf is a ps2?
Am I the only who prefers not being connected? The only one who plays games to get away from people?
Uhhhh...yeah...Sorry, Tretton but I wouldn't say that I value my online game signons as much as my social security number
That was great. And now, a PS2 segment that nobody cares about.
LOL. Ignorance... yeah... no body cares about the PS2... except all the people who still own one and buy tons of games for them.
I can haz Jak IV plz?
Why would anyone want anymore Jak after the last two?
Wait. That's no surprise.
The problem with DLC is that franchises will more than likely stay where people bought them, which is more the 360 than the PS3. So, GH4 and RB2 will see more downloadable content on the 360 because... that's where people own GH3 and RB, respectively.
Hell yeah, Ragdoll Kung-fu!
Blood curse looks freaky as hell!
@The Golden Avatar
I would agree, but the first was so great that for me it eclipses the sucktitude of the other two
Also is it me or are the guys in Fat Princess blatant Link (from Zelda) rip offs and RagDoll Kung-Fu sorta looks like it works exactly the same way as Kung-Fu Chaos.
It's just like watching Speed TV! But on TV!
