Today in Tokyo, Sony Computer Entertainment is holding PlayStation Meeting 2011. Details on the meeting have been scarce, but media from around the world are in attendance at the Park Prince Tokyo Tower Hotel.
We’ll be liveblogging the proceedings starting at 3pm Japan time (10pm Pacific/1am Eastern), so stay tuned below!
ipad 3g network is only 30 bucks
@188
But still, paying that much monthly, PLUS the initial 300-400 pricetag is just over the top. This would be the biggest sony fail ever
dumb, why does there have to be a data limit with 3G? I swear, when will mobile company’s stop grapeing us?
It depends what carryer you go with…. some will only sell you 3G acess if you buy there whole package… at least in canada most only sell if you buy the whole package…
Even 30$ a month… on top of a 400-600$ price tag.. will kill this.
brain explode
i hope their atleast discussing the whole cfw ordeal .. i could care less about new systems.. even mentioning a new console now would just piss people off.. like me
i certainly hope they dont do that multi-platform bs w/ franchises like they do now w/ games like resistance and syphon filter.. i would have bought every damn syphon release if it was on ps3 but no .. they stuck it on the lame old psp
I need this
comment is awaiting moderation.. hah im goin to bed
If ANY monthly price is necessary for this, it will most likely be a failure. Somewhere under $100 yearly may not be so bad, but no more. I already feel the system is going to be overpriced in the first place.
I think the 3G data will be optional…hopefully. Like, if you have the money, you can use a carrier’s 3G plan to use it everywhere.
but wait.. the handheld might be decent.. Sony Gaming/Android 3.. best cell phone OS.. best gaming entertainment..
the best of both worlds.. but at a price..
New tech is always over priced.. im going to guess the debut price is going to be 499-599$ and you have to pay for 3G monthly theres no other way if you want internet on ur NGP… and with out this being a phone it wont be worth it.. you can use hot spots and [DELETED]… but its way less accesive
Man,so many developers are on this NGP! :D
Ever heard of free 3G? *cough* Kindle *cough* lol
I KNEW IT!!! CALL OF DUTY!!! :D
Awaiting inevitable ‘Sony acquire Ready At Dawn Studios’ headline in the next month or so.
@203 theres no such thing as free 3G.
Call of Duty wow! Zombies?
The Ngp with near is going to be using a huge amount of data, there’s no way any of us can afford this…. you’d have to be a millionaire^…
whats the price on the NGP??? Im literally crossing my fingers right now and hoping its $299 or cheaper.
MGO > COD
@209 stop crossing and just go to bed… it will be 400-600$
This HAS to be $300 at the least.. I’m guessing more around the $400 – $450 price range
Amazing
@204 yes there is! lol check out the kindle!
@210 did i offend a COD fanboy, don’t get so flustered…
WHERE THE HELL ARE THE NEW PS3 FEATURES….
seriously though MGO > COD
…… thats it waste of time….. NO ONE CARES ABOUT MOBILE GAMING
No PS4 news? :( ……. ;)
I suspect the 3G will either be optional or free. Sony got burned with the PSP Go, which was an unmitigated disaster or, as Sony like to term it, an ‘experiment’.
The thing is going to be expensive, sure. That’s why they’ll do everything they can to keep the price down. When PSP launched, the market was very different – the iPhone didn’t exist and so many thought Sony would destroy the DS. Admittedly, the terms ‘Sony’ and ‘humble’ don’t go together very often, but they’ll do everything they can to make this a bigger success than PSP, and that starts with an appealing price point in a market with so many options.
no ps4? :(
looks like the playstation device will just be full of rehashes of ps3 games rather than the innovation the industry needs. Looks like i’m getting a 3ds =D
No price for the NGP?
…. im disappointed in sony…… N O ONE CARES ABOUT MOBILE GAMING…. AND UR EXPENSIVE PIECE OF MOBILE CRAP…. WORK ON UR PS3.. GIVE US ARE CROSS GAME VOICE CHAT… AND OUR ABILTY TO PLAY MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND.. GOD
Thanks Jeff!
Sometimes…
Sometimes you guys make it so easy to be a PlayStation superfan.
PS4 didnt seem too likely anyways.. since they JUST came out with PS Move.. MAYBE next year
I’m so glad it doesn’t slide praise the heavens for NGP
THIS IS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW WHAT I’M GETTING MYSELF FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR!!! I DON’T CARE IF I CAN’T AFFORD ANY OTHER PRESENTS!!!! (Sorry everyone I know and love, but PSP2 trumps whatever it is you want for Christmas)
SIGH
Simply lovely! Totally worth staying up late and being tired during class tomorrow. Thanks Jeff and Sony
no new features for the ps3 = lame
Yea tbh, this is the 7th generation, how can we not play music in the background? Fail…..
very excited, too bad no price announced but still a ways off from launch so thats expected, fingers crossed on sub $300.00
Man, i want this so bad. hopefully it’ll be under $300. i choose this over the 3DS any day. Any idea on launch day releases with it?
Cross-platform!!!!
Bloody hell… this is really surprising, and could be a complete game changer.
So, that little logo in the corner of the leaked Xperia Play means PlayStation Certified.
I’m really impressed by Sony this time… really really impressed. For them to focus so heavily on software, platform and experience is really un-Sony-like.
The PSP2 looks great too.
Afraid to see the $499 price sticker.
@Critizin ummm you do know you can play music in the background right…..it’s up to the developers to enable that content or not…not sony….
The mobile gaming sector is the fastest growing sector in gaming. Sony needed to make sure that they have a powerhouse in the arena and it looks like they will!
@Critizin, kindly [DELETED] our happy place.
Also, [DELETED] yeah NGP. Give nao.
