Nice week of Playstation news
Hey Sid, White Knight Chronicles 2 is releasing in Japan next month, do you know if SCEA have any plans of brining it to the US?
Will we be seeing it at Sony’s E3 conference at all?

I heard that there will be some sort of Move event on Sunday. Will it be streamed on the internet or is there just going to be preview from gaming news sites?

I second Seeing_Red_Again’s question. White Knight Chronicles 2 is definitely a game I would love to see over here ASAP.
Also, with the release of Final Fantasy IX coming next week, will we ever see Suikoden II on the store?

Yeah if anyone’s wondering why I’m an xbox owner blogging on a ps site, I happily own a PSP go, I’m thinking about getting a ps3 in the future for cheap, there’s not that many games I want for it. LOL, I’m not even that hardcore of an xbox owner to be interested in Halo or Gears of War.

The SWTFU II trailer and the KZ3 trailer were definitely the best. But I have to say the GT5 trailer was very lack luster. 75% of it was recycled footage. I hope PD brings something better for the Sony presser.

Is E3 going to be streamed LIVE in home? If it is make sure it’s at the quality of the video in the feva Arena on the big screen when they were showing the highlights of games sony covered. Not like last year stream that was so choppy Jack ended up looking like Kutaragi.So please make it blu ray crystal clear HD quality.
Thanks

Hi Sid,
How much time will Move take up in the conference? I am watching it but I don’t want the whole show devoted to it.
So will it be 70% or 50% or 10%?
