For the Sony press conference, I sat down with fierce Scuba to watch and critique all things PlayStation. We recorded our chat session and present that to you now for your reading pleasure.

Overall, we both think Sony had the best showing of the three console makers by far. They had the most to prove, and they stepped up big with some great games and enhancements for the PlayStation Network.

All the trailers shown today are now available on the PlayStation Store, so go fire up your PS3 and check them out in beautiful High Definition.

No announcements of a rumble SIXAXIS or details on the video download service for the PSN. I guess we have to wait for the Tokyo Game Show in a few weeks for those details.

Drunk pandas14 (2:31:33 PM): Well, the Sony Press Conference is now starting
Drunk pandas14 (2:32:13 PM): There’s a pretty cool video on the 4 major screens showing parts of all the PlayStation products
Drunk pandas14 (2:32:54 PM): Jack Tretton shown in Home giving an intro
Drunk pandas14 (2:33:24 PM): There’s too many Home users dancing outside Tretton’s pad
Drunk pandas14 (2:34:01 PM): Tretton comes out on stage wearing the same thing his character in Home did
Drunk pandas14 (2:34:58 PM): Jack’s nervous without a podium, has checked his fly a few times (that’d be funny)
Drunk pandas14 (2:35:33 PM): It sounds like Jack’s talking through a tube… someone needs to work on his mic

Drunk pandas14 (2:37:24 PM): G4 decided to go to commercial just as Jack starts talking about the PS2
Drunk pandas14 (2:37:43 PM): For whatever reason, the Live feed on Sony’s website is not up yet
Drunk pandas14 (2:38:03 PM): someone needs to slap G4 in the back of the head
Fierce Scuba (2:38:18 PM): yeah they kept cutting to commercial like mid speech

Drunk pandas14 (3:48:52 PM): The sword was meant for a God, and as the main character uses it, it slowly kills her
Drunk pandas14 (3:49:20 PM): Seems like a mixture of God of War and Dynasty Warriors
Drunk pandas14 (3:49:29 PM): plus a cool storyline

Fierce Scuba (3:55:53 PM): yeah
Fierce Scuba (3:55:58 PM): lots of meat
Drunk pandas14 (3:56:21 PM): I like that you have the choice to be a hero or a villain, and it changes as the game progresses

Drunk pandas14 (4:06:27 PM): Jack ends the event, montage shown on screen
Fierce Scuba (4:06:46 PM): Always fade out in a montage
Drunk pandas14 (4:06:51 PM): Overall, best show of the Big 3
Fierce Scuba (4:06:59 PM): by far
Fierce Scuba (4:07:19 PM): they had more to prove and i think they did ok
Drunk pandas14 (4:07:34 PM): They proved a lot… they needed to show a lot of great games and I think they did
Fierce Scuba (4:07:41 PM): agreed
