E3 Day 2 PLAYSTATION Store Update

373 0

As promised, we’re delivering many (most, really) of the videos seen at today’s PlayStation E3 press conference to the PLAYSTATION Store for your enjoyment.

As announced at the event, the video download service will hit the store tonight, and will *not* require a firmware upgrade. Recent PSP Firmware v4.05 also enabled compatibility with the video service, for taking TV shows and movies on the go.

As far as video of the entire press conference is concerned, we’re working on converting that video now, and will post it on the Store when it’s complete, so you can see everything we showcased today.

We hope you enjoy this fresh E3 update, and we’ll have more for you as the week progresses.

  • Is MAG on the store? I can’t stop watching the video! Come on! I’m begging for just a little mroe info! FPS/TPS? Map size? Environments? Have a gameplay picture? Will it be tactical or mindless shooting!? AGHH!!!

  • Yes, with new video support can you please add an easy way to disable popups during movies? I don’t need to know randomguy is offline when I’m in the middle of an action movie.

  • THE NEW 80gigs SKU MUST BE PS2 COMPATIBLE!! That´s why the MGS4 pack is SELLING A LOT!!

  • I agree… more downloadable content before thursdays! nice trend you’re workin on there.

  • I just found out that the PS3 will be completely phasing out backward compatibility…

    I’m just… disappointed. It’s been said already, but the reason the 80GB outsold the 40GB was NOT because of the space, but the backward compatibility. You could pack it with a 20GB and most wouldn’t care as long as they could play their PS2 games. It’s so ironic that Jack said it would make the transfer from PS2 to PS3 easier, since this will blackball the entire process for me, including my brother.

    I understand that strategically this provides better sales for PS3 games, but beside the point that this is indeed ‘confusing the consumer,’ I wonder if PS3 sales will go up from the previous year very much at all… If this can be changed, it seriously needs to be done.

    If Jack merely mispoke, then I guess I’m talking out my rear-end, but it’s because I want you guys to succeed, and by extension help myself, that I recommend this.

    Please…

  • Sorry, I need to make an amendment to my previous post (155 at the moment):

    At the end of the second ‘paragraph’ it says “the entire process for me” but it should say “the entire process for many”. I already have a PS3, and 60GB thank you very much. :D

  • I admit, there needs to be more RPG’s, preferable MMORPGs. :D

    But losing a few exclusive games does NOT kill a console. Eventually there will be a point in time where dev’s will make games the 360 just CANT handle. Thats where the PS3 comes in, and we’ll all have the best games around :p

  • Video store still not live…. uuuuuuuuggghhhhh…..

  • I’ll probably get flamed for this for being a “troll” because I just now registered but regardless, here goes:

    I can’t understand why so many people on here are complaining about the E3 keynote speech today. In my opinion, it was great. Sure they gave us updates about games we know about, HOME isn’t being released soon, etc etc. But c’mon, why do people keep complaining about what WASN’T talked about. Can’t we just enjoy what WAS talked about?

    I am saddened to hear of FFXIII being lost as an exclusive but people seem to mourn the game as if we lost it entirely. It’s still coming. And whats more is we get Versus as an exclusive (as of now). If people bought a PS3 for that one game alone then I highly doubt they will be purchasing it for the XBox. Then again if you bought the PS3 for only ONE game you have too much money to throw around.

    Do people also forget about the PSN exclusives? Okay, so some of them aren’t that great and they are more like half games. But isn’t Sony about innovation? Wouldn’t the fact that the PSN releases these first party IP’s that are sometimes like nothing we have seen (Everyday Shooter, PixelJunk Eden) something to rave about?

    I think there is a definite issue with people just wanting more and more. In the eyes of most of the people on here Sony can do no good. They keep trying to deliver and people keep shooting them down. Relax. Enjoy what is there. If you need something else to do, find a hobby.

    XBox will of course have more because *gasp* they came first. Imagine that. Someone is coming out on top because they got a head start. I’m not saying if they came out at the same time PS3 would be first. I can’t say that because who knows if that would be the case. But remember where we are in the race and look at the future. If we’re gonna start to hate a system cause they lost an exclusive and because they DIDN’T talk about things that people wanted on day TWO of E3, maybe we should just stop playing video games altogether. Get a grip.

    Begin flaming, flamers. I know it’s coming.

  • It’s pretty obvious that third parties don’t really give a damn about the PS3. I mean look at all the live demonstrations from third parties on the MS conference.

    There were none for the PS3. Just a bunch of them talking about how “better” the PS3 got for developers. Obviously it doesn’t mean anything because the PS3 still gets inferior version of games. An example is Fallout 3, which has exclusive content on the 360.

    It’s disappointing, but it’s clear that we shouldn’t expect much from Sony anymore. Even the PSP is dead thanks to the so called “big games” Trenton mentioned, which aren’t anything but multiplatform games anyway.

  • square is not yet forgiven but sony is. best e3 again overall. still lacking though.

  • xbots should very much hate the RROD machine since it lost bioshock, eternal sonata, lost planet, oblivion, overlord, and more exlusives to the ps3!!? they’re not? so why are we for only one exclusive? time to move on man.

  • sony lost 1 exclusive, RROD is losing it left and right. cmon bungee show your sony exclusive!!!

  • @tsaksyapune

    Have you noticed anything about those titles? All of them were already released on the 360 for over a year. PS3 lost exclusives before they even came out. It’s a big difference.

  • I dont understand why Sony left Killzone and Motorstorm 2 off the show. It was a dumb choice.

  • Come on where is the love for Socom Confrontation Seriously… It’s really starting to get old!

    First not a mention about it at E3 yet, they don’t have any media time scheduled anywhere for the public to see, and when you guys still have no trailers on PSN for socom that are worth mention….

    Seriously don’t treat this flagship franchise like a thing of the past because if it were would u really be making another one?

    I’d love some feedback as to why the game so many fans love is constantly being swept under the rug…

    E3 would have been a great chance to showcase the new Headset Socom and how this game will help revolutionize the PSN and downloading games.

    Great Job

  • Yes, when is the video store coming out?

    AND, PLEASE SONY: ADD SUPPORT FOR MAC’S!!!!!!!!!!

  • Super Stardust HD Team Mode Add-on ($4.99) for rockband. Really?

  • has anyone noticed that the in the new videos in the E3 section make a heart, at the ones with an E3 logo they make a heart shape!

  • is the video store up yet?

  • Question: When are some PS1 games gonna hit? Suikoden? A game that when rated for ESRB made me go pick up a PS3…

    This is as bad as Nintendo’s VC (neglecting the past, so many classics unplayed)

  • Well, the new 80 Gig SKU won’t be BC, big deal. If you don’t have a PS2 by now, what planet you been living on? As for losing FF13, big deal. Another lame azz RPG. They did showcase Socom at E3, just not in their main presentation.

  • The video store is UP!

  • Did you check the prices? It is crazy!

  • I’m wondering how long the rental period is for. Does anyone know the answer to this?

    Thanks a bunch :)

  • damn..is it or will it not come to Canada.. or when?

  • Woah Woah Woah. Why isn’t the video store up in Canada?

  • @176 (Cobra Girl)
    I think I saw it somewhere that said it was for 14 days…

  • rental answer… good for 14 days but once you hit play you have 24 hours to watch as many times as you like

  • I thought Sony’s Conference sucked bad. All they did was recap the same tired games we’ve seen since E3 ’05. And the only NEW IP we saw was MAG. I hate to say it, but Microsoft rocked this E3 hard, and not just with the FFXIII announcement, but their whole show. Well paced, showed quality games, WITH RELEASE DATES, and did live demos of each great game, along with showing the new features coming (copied feature or not). Sony found the most boring spokesperson available to talk about how well the P2 is still doing LOL. What a joke. And the usage of LBP as a way to show of their charts and info section….was cool, but a poor tactic of trying to take peoples focus off how badly they were doing. And did anyone else notice how many times Jack said that the key to PS3 is exclusive games!!!! The running smack down of PS3’s life cycle thus far is how we continue to lose exclusive after exclusive, and he had the nerve to stand up there and say Exlusives are key! WOW! Sony’s summation of it’s conference was basically “We’re on a 10 year life cycle, it’s only year 2….so hang in there…..we got 8 years to get it right…..hang in there and keep waiting for us to make our move.” Very disappoint, and EVERY should agree with that!

  • So when does Canada get the Video Store? You guys should of said that it was U.S only. People see E3 as global.

  • Why the **** didn’t they mention that the video service won’t be available in Canada?

  • Well, no video store for Canada. Seems if Canadians want an actual downloadable video experience they can only really turn to Apple since they’re the only ones with lots of movies and TV shows for purchase/rental. Not even 360 has much content for Canadians just 50 movies from Warner Bros only, pretty lame in comparison to iTunes’ offering.

  • The sad thing is it looks as if you can’t buy movies in HD.

  • Jesus H christ. Im canadian and i was ready to buy at least 100$ in titles tonight. now im seriously fricking pissed. I’m just gonna go download the movies illegally instead.

  • @175 Yea I know. They are way too high.

  • I know it may be a bit of a stretch, but I think Sony would be able to combat Microsoft’s partnership with netflix by releasing a subscription service to the Video store. I currently have blockbuster online’s 3 at a time for $20 bucks a months, if they charge something like that and put similar restrictions on rental content (even if they charge a bit more for the in your living room convenience, lets say $25-30), I think they’d have something on the market that neither iTunes nor Microsoft’s video download service has. They would be setting the precedent and be the first to capture the market in such a manner.

    I’m sure content would only be playable on an “activated” system (one activated PS3 with the owner’s PSN ID linked to it as well as an activated PSP, this is to avoid copyright infringement and such), but I’d definetely pay $25-30per month on a recurring billing cycle. Most people I know will initially be hyped with the video store and download a movie or two, but eventually people will be become very stingy with their purchases (due to the prices) and I highly doubt they would be spending anywhere near $25-30/month on the video store on individual rentals.

    Please read this Son, bring us a subscription service!

  • @ 181, you are on crack. So what if M$ got a lame azz RPG. FF13 ain’t got shizt on God of War 3. Not to mention nice job by M$ with their new ripped off dashboard. (Looks like a mix of Home and the Wii) The only thing M$ had that was cool was Gears of War 2.

    It’s not Sony’s fault that the PS2 (in it’s 9th year) is blowing away all consoles.

    Get off the board troll, Sony’s E3 crapped all over M$.

  • I personally think that Sony had the best presentation to show. First off, they beat out the competition on opening their key conference with an amazing amount of Tv’s everywhere, with great lighting effects. This truly shows that Sony is out to be the best not only in what they deliver in the games aspect, but also how they deliver their messages. Just look at the Little Big Planet presentation they used instead of boring old charts like Nintendo used.

    Many are giving the big ups for Microsoft winning this E3, but in reality, it’s only because of the announcement they made the last two minutes of their conference. The only high light of their conference was Netflix, and FFXIII. That’s it!

    Sony had an all around well prepared presentation, with good information to provide it’s consumers with. With the new PS3 80GB SKU(hopefully bc for those who desire it), new PSP entertainment packs, and PS2 still being in the game, with new services like the video download service(which is now live by the way!), and games like God of War 3, MAG, LBP, KZ2, and yes, even FF. It’s kind of upsetting to see such a franchise go over to 360, but the reality of the matter, it was a business decision on SE’s part.

    Those who had the nerves to come on here and blast Sony out about losing FF exclusivity, how an immature way to express what makes no sense at all. It’s not like it’s only being made for 360 now. You wanna talk loyalty, then go ahead and buy it for PS3 with it being available now on two systems.

    Great job Sony for delivering a promising and forward looking conference with amazing games to come out in the near future. I think I may just watch the conference again for the opening presentation. :-)

    Peace to all!

  • Wait, it’s not in Canada? Ummm… Why not? Didn’t they just change playstation store prices recently to reflect the Canadian dollar? I don’t know, that tells me that at least they know we’re here >.>

  • @191 it has to do with candian copyright law.

  • @189 and 190

    Wow, you two are so far up Sony’s ass you can’t even see sad times when your in em! I’ll have you know I currently own a PS1, PS2, and PS3, and have over 20 games for the PS3 not including any PSN games. I’m as big a Sony fanyboy as you can get, but I know when were holding crap and when the competitor has a Full House. If you really believe Sony brought it today at E3 and your not just being a fanboy for the sake of fanboyism…..then there’s no talking to you…you must be 12 and one day you’ll wake up and smell the turds. Sony’s conference was a HUGH let down.

  • Not sure if there’s going to be a “re-cap” post of the meetup that happened today, but I wanted to extend my thanks Jeff! It had a nice turnout, and I’m a new owner of a terrific game for my PSP, Hot Shots Golf OT2! Also, I now want to buy a PSP Slim after seeing all of your guys’ haha. :D

  • @192
    Okay, that’s all fine, but I see that i’m not the only one that no clue it was for American customers only. If they are going to make an announcement about something such as that, at least let everyone else in the world know to just hold on a little longer before it reaches us.

  • @ 185

    Very dissappointing to see that movies aren’t available in HD to buy. Maybe this will change in the future, maybe not.

    @187

    Prices are high huh? I agree, they are!

  • by the way….their mini tease trailer of God of War 3 was awful….no game play footage, no release date, nothing…..how is that any kind of an announcement? We all know that GOW3 is coming SOMEDAY….show us in game action and a release date and that ALONE would have wow’ed be….but no. Nothing. As usual. Not even a release date for Home, in fact, I encourage someone to show me where they actually gave a release date for anything IN THE CONFERENCE???

  • Question?: When will we get a video channel in Canada?

    *shakes fist*

    Tell me!

  • OK it’s nice to download some cool videos. But why not give us some cool themes for the top 3 games announced. God of War III, Resistance 2, and Killzone 2. Heck, even wallpapers would be something.
    Not to be a party pooper. But at least XBox Live has a demo for Too Human and even a cool as hell FREE! theme for Gears of War 2 along with gamer pics.

  • When can we expect this service in Canada?
