I love it when "mom" does the w@nking motion. :lol:

Not my mom- the one in the video. :roll:

It shows where Nintendo are at really, they've reset the videogame clock- these adverts are reminiscent of early 80s adverts for videogame consoles and home computers. Like this one:

I'm so glad I wasn't the only person to think that. :lol:

Cheers, shame theres no 1up pisstaking updates!

So this is our first games convention live at our new home GRCADE!

Great, their servers have crashed under the strain.

16:03:49 -

David Reeves has taken to the stage and welcomed us in both German and English. Wie gehst du, Dave?

16:03:40 -

Ratchet's grinding down a rail - a new announcement perhaps? Or the PSN game they've just released?

16:03:25 -

PSP games now - CocoReccho, Rago Doll Kung Fu. And on to PSN - Fat Princess, PixelJunk Eden I'm saying nothing.

16:03:03 -

Some sort of classical-techno music is playing in the background. Perhaps Vanessa Mae will make a surprise appearance!

16:02:48 -

Now they're showing a montage of game footage - WipEout, LittleBigPlanet, FlOwer - just a few seconds of each.

16:02:30 -

A man in a giant Buzz quizmaster suit is walking on the stage. "Oh yay" or "Oh no" depending on your perspective.

15:02:12 -

A voice just came over the tannoy and said, "The conference is about to begin."

15:02:10 -

It's taking place in the middle of Sony's stand, which takes up a good portion of Hall 3. We've managed to get a seat in the VIP area. This is bound to be an improvement over last year's knee-jangling scenario.

15:02:07 -

So here we are, just minutes (all right possibly a lot of minutes, judging by previous conferences) away from the start of Sony's Leipzig Games Convention conference.

Hmm, a new PSP. I may actually have me one of those, I've been toying with the idea of a Slim and Lite seeing as my chunky PSP is scratched to gooseberry fool.

New PSP? Where?

Is it any different to the two other ones?

Woo another new PSP model ¬_¬. Glad i didn't decide to get a Slim & Light now.

On the Eurogamer thingie. The PSP 3000 (rubbish name imo).

Sounds like improvements to the screen and general display more than anything. Plus a built in microphone to go with the Go! stuff.

That's just plain stupid.

Sorry, just made me laugh, there are just too many models out there now, i hope it has backwards compatibility?!

The 160GB PS3 is a bit pointless as you may aswell buy the 80GB one and upgrade the HDD yourself to 300+GB.

Vidzone sounds good - a free music service. It'll be good if you can use it in-game.

Music Video Streaming early next year, Music Downloads late 2009.

Seems Go View is coming to PS3 late 2008.

gooseberry fool will hit the SingStar thread in a minute - you will be able to use the old discs in the PS3 game!

So far some decent announcements, now give us some games sony, preferably exclusive ones!

gooseberry fool, didn't know it had even started yet :lol:

To Eurogamer!

MANILOW.

Mandy, Oh Mandy.

It had better be Mandy.

Nope, same specs as the 80Gb but with 70 Euros worth of content already on the hard drive for 50 Euros more and released 2 months later.. which seems very pointless unless you are trying to deliberately piss people off.
