May Three weeks from today, we’ll be holding our 3rd E3 PlayStation 3 Meet-up. I’m hoping to be able to announce full details this week, but know that it’s going to be held in Downtown LA on June 13th starting at about 5pm, and will be better than last year’s (which was pretty good, if I recall correctly). Start planning now!

thanks for the list, jeff.
RDR is booooooring! – not as boring as gta4 but still overrated. The MP part is as lackluster as gta4.
get Mod Nation Racer instead. the demo is so much fun, especially split-screen. i’m planning on re-creating GT’s original tracks starting with el capitan and deep forest.
just 2 more days!

“How the PlayStation 3 Reformed a Pirate – Bitmob”
While this was an interesting enough article, it still doesn’t justify the removal of Other OS from the PS3. I still maintain that this is sony’s problem not mine since I have purchased every game I own at full price for 3 generations of PlayStation.
I’m also sad to say that I was finally forced into a PS3 slim which I had hoped in 2005 would be happy moment as I would get a smaller more refined unit with all the features of the 60 gig PS3 that I had wanted so badly in 2006. That day unfortunately never came and I was left with a lesser PS3 slim that has no Other OS, a loss of PS2 Backward Compatibility, fewer USB ports (understandable though and I don’t hold this against sony), and a feeling that I have some how been taken for granted by Sony.

I would guess there is an embargo on KZ3 until the 1st of June. I don’t think they are going to talk about. As a certain mag had world exclusive rights.
Anywho looking forward to ModNation Racers tuesday!!!!

Holy mother BP oil tar balls in a pita! That kung fu game is sooooo awesome. It’s a shame that announcement wasn’t saved until E3. That alone would have probably won E3 in Sony’s favor!
I even love that game better then…”their” kung fu game. I am eager to hear else the PS3′s eye can be used…

& i miss ‘PS2 Backward Compatibility’ on my newer PS3 :( I would love SONY to say at E3[i doubt it tho]that there will be a PS3 that can play PS2 games. I would buy it day 1 :P

This smacks of utter desparation on sonys part. treating us like criminals by removing featres we paid for and censoring us the paying customer while callinging us “conspiracy theorists”. all the while acting as if giving us this “sesame street fighter” is somehow gonna make it all worth it. What a joke. I cant wait for the real “next gen” and it wont include sony.

I think the forums are a great place for that, but ModNation.com (http://www.modnation.com) will have some features to that effect as well, I’m told. More MNR posts tomorrow.

+ thepatriots on May 23rd, 2010 at 5:20 pm said:
I think the PS3′s almost impervious nature to piracy is one thing that is often over looked. In a sense making it so complicated that its just not worth the time and effort to crack. Plus with all this great online content most games will not even be worth playing.
Also I just played the MNR demo and wow, I am getting that game. Its so much fun with a group of people (people being college students). We were playing Mario Kart 64 and I suggested we try this new Kart Racing game and once we started we could not stop for like 3 hours. Just on the demo there were some crazy epic moments. LVL3 missiles is sick!

Yep, I love them sidewinders. Hope to see you out there on the track this Tuesday!

Wondering why there is absolutely no feedback on the ideas posted in the Share section? I’m starting to suspect this was just a way to get the complaints off the main blog because it was embarrassing Sony. How about a progress report on some of the ideas posted that are being looked at?
+ Jeff Rubenstein on May 23rd, 2010 at 9:50 pm said:
That’s coming soon. We’ll be rolling out new features for Share soon.

Jeff, can you please confirm me this?
Sony’s E3 won’t be a mix of sequelitis and Move? Although I’m happy with the recent announcements of Killzone 3 and LittleBigPlanet 2, as well as the recent rumors thanks to a domain registration of inFAMOUS 2, I don’t want the whole show to be based around sequels and PlayStation Move. I’d like to see some new things – like RPGs or something.

@kenshin71 I couldn’t agree more, all the ideas I came up with were deleted,even when I login they aren’t there for review or anything just GONE.A machine with the capability to cure diseases thru protien folding can’t print to my wireless printer???@Kaze Eternal it really sucks that just because FEATURES WE PAID FOR aren’t used by a majority of customers they remove them to save money;not piracy. My ps3 and xbox360 are all original too and I have bought all my games;but most are 360 now due to not able to play new titles with 3.15. Maybe a flock of Penguins will protest at E3 :).
