Sony held their E3 press conference last night, and damn, did they do good. I don’t even own a PlayStation product, but they got me as excited as hell for some their games. While there was some Move hokey baloney, they really kept it light in comparison to Microsoft’s Kinect-heavy presentation.
They showed off some exclusive games, including Uncharted 3, which continues to impress, and Resistance 3, about which I honestly couldn’t care less, but regardless, looked nice. They also officially announced the fourth Sly Cooper game, harkening back to the old platforming days that I miss so dearly.
They, of course, revealed their NGP, officially christened the “PlayStation Vita”. The handheld itself looks promising, as do the few games they showcased. Ken Levine teasing an Irrational Games project on the portable enticed me even further. That, and the incredibly reasonable price point! Both 3G and Wifi-enabled versions will be available, at $299 and $249 USD, respectively.
They also showcased a small, affordable 3D tv with one of the coolest little features. As an alternative to the traditional splitscreen format, the tv displays two separate images to two pairs of glasses. This allows to players to see their own screen, in full size, and not see their partner’s. And at $500 USD for the tv, a copy of Resistance 3, and a pair of 3D glasses, who could object?
Sony managed to play off the recent PSN disaster, and convince me that I should invest in the PlayStation brand. A successful presentation, indeed.

I wish I could be updating Cubek with fresh, hot-of-the-presses news from E3 right now. I really do. Unfortunately, I’m confined to the doctor’s office waiting room, with only Twitter to keep me up to date. But, I’ll do my best to post news at the end of the day, once the dust has settled, with my opinions and thoughts. For now, enjoy E3!
