I have to admit: my first Comic-Con International (this one) is not what I expected. While it’s got everything you’d expect – cosplayers, “limited edition” everything, and, yes, comics – there’s really a lot more. I’d venture to say, even if you’re into videogames and couldn’t care less about comics – this is still the place for you.
As we indicated yesterday, the PlayStation area is where the public gets hands-on access to our upcoming games – many for the first time. Because I know that many of you can’t make it down to San Diego this week/weekend, and because tickets have become rather hard to acquire, I shot this booth tour during yesterday’s “Preview Night.”
Sorry for the “but wait, there’s more!”-style, but if you can make it, we’d love to have you drop by.
BTW, here’s that Sweepstakes URL referenced in the video: http://www.us.playstation.com/ep/promotions/321/?ILC-psblog&PRMO=comicconsweeps08
Even if you can’t make it, you can still try to win a free PS3!
More from Comic-Con tomorrow!

Pleased to be detailing your most shocking experience at this event thus far?

StalkingSilence | July 24th, 2008 at 11:44 am
From the contest page you pointed out, what is: PAIN™ Movie Lot?
hmm… maybe it’s just a part of the PAIN Labs upcoming release. But could it be more?

rahstar2003 | July 24th, 2008 at 11:52 am
Jeff this is the first time i seen you. For some reason i pictured you as a 40yr old man with a full brown beard just based off your name. Weird huh?!

um, thanks?

Dear Jeff,
Could you please tell whom ever is in charge of getting PSone Classics on the Store, that we are hungry for more titles and simply jealous that Japan not only has much more titles but gets them on a regular basis. Just to name a few are Gex: Enter the Gecko, Silent Hill, G-Police, R-Type Delta, Need for Speed, Colony Wars, Wipeout XL, Legend of Dragoon, Ehrgeiz. Heres an idea, put a poll on the Store or send it as a message through PS3. Watch the floodgates open wide.
Thank you,
Daniel B.

Jeff one thing I wanted to correct you on from your video… not all refridgerators are “incomplete” without magnets. It is true – my new stainless steel fridge isn’t “backwards compatible” with magnets. Seriously, no magnets work on this thing – so much wasted space.
Jeff Rubenstein replied on July 25, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Actually, mine’s the same way. Looks nice, though…

StalkingSilence | July 24th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
@rahstar2003,
It’s ok. I think most people picture him as a rodent with a blue hat and yellow scarf. It’s easier that way.

Marcoco11 | July 24th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
More socom please… I’ll pay you!
I just need to see a knife attack and a sniper kill AHHHH!

Phoenix8387 | July 24th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
I’m really jealous of anyone who gets one of those awesome LBP bags… Wish I could make it to Comic-Con but it’s just too far away for me to travel right now, there’s always next year though.

Jericho | July 24th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
You gotta do more of these video presentations, Jeff!

I’m most excited for Battlestar Galactica & Watchmen. I’m excited for the Watchmen game also but I wish there was a BSG one worth mentioning.
32
Delriach | July 24th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
Damn, I hope some impressions from average players come out about Socom and LBP.
I want free stuff ;_;

37
Spigget | July 24th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
Hey, would you be able to ask if they are coming out with Little Big Planet plush dolls? I wanna rock one of those for my g/f.
Many thanks.
38
Spigget | July 24th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
@36: Same here, all we got is Digital Life but Little Big Planet will be out by then.
In other news, man you’re tall or everyone at Comic-con is short lol.

43
StalkingSilence | July 24th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
@4 (me),
Maybe the PAIN Movie Lot is SCEA’s name for the new PAIN replay editor? That’s what satriales tipped me off to over on the playstation.com forums.
44
Kpepe | July 24th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
Man. I live about 10 mins away from Downtown SD (IB) but the tickets ran out so i couldnt go!

So i just pulled a solid snake and climbed in through the vents.
