Experience E3 LIVE From Your PS3 With Streaming Keynote, Virtual PlayStation Booth

With the E3 Expo just around the corner, the PlayStation Home team is happy to announce that you’ll be able to be part of the convention excitement — right from your PS3!

For the first time ever, PlayStation Home will host a live public video stream of the Sony E3 press conference on Monday, June 6 at 5pm Pacific Time in a special screening room. You can watch SCEA President and CEO Jack Tretton reveal all of the big E3 announcements and watch never-before-seen footage of tons of upcoming PS3 and NGP titles.

We’re also happy to confirm that the PlayStation Home E3 Virtual Booth is making a triumphant return! The virtual booth was visited by a lot of people last year (five times more people than physically attended E3 2010!), making it huge success for us and hopefully for you as well. If you visited the booth last year, you’ll remember that we enabled you to explore a virtual recreation of PlayStation’s E3 booth. Expect the same this year, with a few new surprises — including a 3D-rendered NGP to inspect from every angle.

PlayStation Home: E3 2010 virtual booth

Images taken from the E3 2010 virtual PlayStation booth; check back next Tuesday to see what’s awaiting you for 2011!

Be sure to visit the E3 Booth in Home at the start of the show on Tuesday, June 7 at 12pm Pacific Time and earn exclusive virtual items as you visit the different areas in the virtual E3 booth. Once you unlock all the virtual items, you’ll be able to check out Home content in the VIP area and play the first level of Scribble Shooter – an upcoming top-down, shoot-em up game featuring hand-drawn enemies that is being designed to look as if you’re playing on a notepad — as well as a Heavy Water package with active virtual items. Why spend money on a plane ticket to LA when you can attend E3 right from your PS3?

Additionally, the PlayStation.Blog team will be streaming live game demonstrations straight from the show floor into PlayStation Home, so you won’t miss a single beat of all the excitement of E3. They’ll be scouring the show for any exciting new titles to show off, and you can watch it all within PlayStation Home. LIVE!

We hope you come visit. See you, virtually, at E3!

  • It seems like a great idea! I can’t wait! :-)

  • If the booth is not opening until Tuesday, where will we watch the press conference on Monday in Home?

  • hey could i watch it at another time the same day ?? i want be home at that hour

  • it would have been enough just to watch the presentation here on the blog, this is just too much, you guys should focus on the infrastructure, so we don’t have this downtime again.

  • Very cool.

  • I’m not excited .. better be THERE!! :P

  • i knwow this is out of topic but are there any COD online tournaments ?

  • knuckleschaotix1

    That’s crazy!! Too bad I only have a PSP, though….

  • Oh boy, i truly can’t wait.

  • Exactly how long will the Home virtual E3 booth be up? Will it still be up (with all the same reward items) through the weekend, by any chance?

  • What time is it going to be in EST?

  • Why do they got image of SAS Anti Terror Force? For people that don’t know what SAS Anti Terror Force is that the game Confrontation got the cover art from.

  • sweet!

  • jackfrost123456

  • IIIIkoolaidIIII

    Is this going to be US Home only or is it available in the EU Home also?

  • Playstation home is not working I keep getting this error: theres been a problem downloading content..and its the 5th of june and E3 2011 is tomorrow how can i watch E3 and vist the E3 2011 booth in playstation home ???

  • can we be rewarded with t-shirts that have the game titles on it like a t-shirt that says (Battlefield 3) when we enter the E3 2011 VIRTUAL BOOTH ,and can we be rewarded with game posters and a playstation wallpaper for our personal space when we visit the E3 Booth.

  • i will be there

  • yes thanks

  • @Locust_Star Is this live stream gonna be the same as what is being broadcasted on G4? If it isn’t then that gives me a good reason to come cause I want to see the entire E3 event (I’ve already scheduled to record what’s happening on G4).

  • Awesome.

  • “You can watch SCEA President and CEO Jack Tretton reveal all of the big E3 announcements”

    Sorry, but that only confirms that I WON’T be watching. I can’t stand that guy. He’s way too full of himself and is so condescending that it disgusts me.

    Thanks for going to such great efforts to broadcast the event to people who can’t go in person, but I’d much rather get the news later in text form than listen to Jack Tretton speak for 2 hours.

  • What channel on TV will PlayStation press conference be on?

  • Right around the time I will be getting Infamous 2. I will have to try to get all the stuff quick so I can get back to electrifying people.

  • @molinaroa200 As far as I know E3 is on G4 this time around so if I were you I’d check there.

  • Great News!
    First time I am experiencing E3 live stream!
    Thank you Sony for working hard for this event. Can’t miss tonight!

  • E3 Sony press conference in PShome

    Home is not working right now and the show starts at 4:45pm pacific ak 6:45 centeral for me

  • Yeah, it’s down for me too. Getting error Z(7, -13) Connection to server was lost.

  • Why won’t it work?

  • No press conference in Home today. You shouldn’t let your mouth write checks that your *ahem* can’t cash.

  • First the press conference doesn’t show in the theater. Now the option to go to the booths aren’t working. Get your damn act together, Sony. Don’t advertise what you can’t deliver. I take time off work to go into your already dumb Home space to try to experience some special events, and you choke. Getting on my nerves…

  • I keep getting errors too! I got the same errors yesterday when I was trying to watch E3 from Home. Can’t even connect.

  • Kool the E3 booth is great but EU & JAPAN are unable to get the heavy water peep pet pack when entering E3 VIP area i really wanted them items & i have alot of mates that also want them….
    but still E3 booth 2011 is kool
