This is all via ps3fanboy:

• Ratchet & Clank Quest For Booty coming to PSN this Summer. A new concept: shorter game at a lower price. A big summer blockbuster film: it's everything you expect from a Ratchet game, and it's a continuation of the franchise. It leaves off where Tools of Destruction leaves off.

• First look at DC Universe Online for PS3. Experience the DC Universe as never before. Fight against or alongside favorite DC heroes and villians, like Batman, Superman, The Joker. Build your legacy against superpowered enemies.
• 80GB Core Pack at $399.99. Twice the storage capacity at the same price. New SKU, most likely will not feature PS2 backwards compatibility.
• God of War III coming to PS3! Trailer showcased.
• inFamous coming Spring 2008.
• Andy Beaudoin from Zipper's new game. (Zipper worked on SOCOM on PS2.) MAG will support up to 256 players.

FINALLY we are able to access PSN stuff from the web. Hopefully this means that 3rd parties will be able to create accurate gamercards and trophy tracking.

The greatest hits is great too. Hopefully the price of Warhawk will drop online as well.

I guess God of War is another franchise I'll need to brush up on before III comes out. Can't wait to get into that universe.

i have to say i was sorta dissapointed with sonys press conference today call me greedy but i was expecting more like a update on home especially since they talked about it at last years e3 and since microsoft unveiled their home like community which honestly seems pretty kickass but on a good note im interested to see how the movie and tv rental thing works out plus the whole M.A.G thing and resistance 2 seemed pretty cool

[KEEZY]

So they didn't mention ANYTHING about Home? (I didn't see any of the press conf) I've given up on Home. When it comes, it comes. I'm not going to hold my breath.

[SalemsFinest]

not a SINGLE word about it i was majorly dissapointed and yes ive given up to oh well

[D_Litch]

I want Home as well

[PhillipJFry]

They talked about it for a minute. No big news but they have been saying over and over that it won't be delayed again. I've lost interest in it, too.
I just want to try out the movie downloads. Kind of cool that you can actually by them in HD. Any of you know if you can watch them with remote play or if they have to be DL to your PSP?

[BrewCityUpstart]

Yay for GOW3!!!!

[namehater]

hell, sony should have waited to release 2.40/2.41 until after E3 so they would have something worthwhile to talk about

[Punisher2414]

Sony didn't say any thing new, MS pleased me alot with the deal with netflix.

[SalemsFinest]

Remember that PlayStation-branded SOCOM Bluetooth headset we told you about a while ago? Not surprisingly, it's for real, and we spotted it in Sony's booth alongside SOCOM Confrontation here at E3. It looks to be a relatively nice unit, a bit bigger than your standard Bluetooth headset intended for phones, and the USB charger it comes with is clearly intended to hang out with your PS3. Sony points out that the headset sports a giant mute button for your in-game arguments with significant others, and battery time is promised to be "exceptional." They wouldn't tell us exactly how exceptional, but we'll believe them for now. Finally, they did confirm that you'll be able to pair this with your cellphone in case you want to show off your SOCOM love while away from your living room.

Where came from

I'm not into mmo's but I think that DC universe could be pretty cool. But will probably only do good if they let pc and ps3 play together.

[KEEZY]

I have a bluetooth now, but it is so damn tiny... I hate it. I think I'll pick that ish up.

Say what? Home has been canned? Why would they kill that project?






Just kidding.

[SalemsFinest]

[Gordon]

I know... That's why I added the "Just kidding." part.
