I’m afraid I don’t have any voucher codes to give away this week because I will be flying to Cologne on first thing Monday morning to cover gamescom and help set up the live stream of the SCEE press conference.
That being said, I wouldn’t want to rob you of our weekly discussion so the topic is this:
How do you feel about industry events such as E3 and gamescom and how do you think we should be covering them on PlayStation.Blog?
Speak your brains and I look forward to bringing the scent of Cologne to your browsers next week.
Tschüs!

Those events should be for gamers not only for journalists, meeting small devs, talk to them, ask questions and have opportunity to tell “thanks mate for your efforts” is an great thing for me. LiveStreams, mainly they are great, but there should be some one site – with all of them, searching for them thru web is insane

Hi James, I won one of your section 8 codes last week but i have yet to receive the pm on the community site. Ive pm’d other winners and some have got codes and some havent. What should i do Mr James!?
I dont want to set up camp and wait for the voucher to walk by before i snare it and drag it off, caveman style.
Cheers
Drags xx

I would love to see a livestream and after the main event (Sony Press Conferences) you should be able to download them in a PS3 friendly format. Especially when you have other things to do, while the show is running.
Also I’d love to see afterwards PR material flow out really fast. The blog should be in a heat of incoming content.
In addition, we should be able to engange with these events more.
It would be nice if PlayStation.Blog would invite us to select what should be covered first etc. or let us ask questions to specific games and get the answer straight from the developer.
As an extra, since you know a bit what will be coming, you could prepare sales or sth. like that on the SCEE store.
For example if ther would be any CRITTER CRUNCH 2 – discount the first one or roll out themes and avatars… sth. to go along. Sure there will be also some prep time needed and hardwork from thrid-party pulishers, but it would be a nice tie-in.

@Skookie30
I agree, unfortunately over the past few years Gamescom is just a weaker repeat of E3 and rarely surprises us with anything superior – we must remember we are in the EU and we are always neglected by software giants – it feels like discrimination however they argue it’s to do with supply and demand. Are 8+ million voices not enough to warrant some attention? Lol
Enjoy the show and please report when we are getting some early demos for the PS3 from the Xmas onslaught of games. R3,U3 & BF3 in particular thanks

@ DAVIE222
Look you seem like an ok fella, but do you have to reply to nearly every persons post?
I can’t wait for BF3 but don’t mock MW3. Yes MW3 is the same old thing, but the graphics overhaul & setting actually look good, still not going to buy it til next year though & i’m dead against the Elite too!
Don’t see what the problem is with Uncharted 3 but each to their own I suppose

@ DAVIE222
Don’t take it the wrong way either, as I do like you & there is no hate my end I can assure you, but you post to others about bullying & hate towards you, yet you do the same.
You need to re-read some of your posts, as you contradict yourself & that’s probably why Grizla gives you so much stick.

@Catkiller1
lol, no probs, I hereby retract my request for increased cheeky4life input. You hit the nail on the head re the davie situation, all he seems to do is insult people in terrible English and then cry about hate, bullying etc. His hypocrisy astounds me.
