I hope Tombi/Tomba isn’t another Legend Of Dragoon situation, where it won’t be released within the EU for months after the US release!

Thanks so it will be 90 minutes. Was hoping for 120 minutes.
I don’t think the conference will be live on HOME. I think it will be the following morning before it will be in HOME.
The blog will be the best place or Gametrailers.

@DAVIE222 3 unsuccessful years. Twice a no show and last year we only had sound which kept cutting out.

Seriously now, I thought bringing PS2 games to PSN would be a great idea. And to be fair it was. However, the PS2 games on the PSN Store are terrible. I mean come on! Sell some Games that won Games of their year awards, bring the most popular games of the early 2000′s for example Grand Theft Auto: Vice City or Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and the game on PS2 around 2004 and onwards. Games what people actually know, have previously played and love. Games what you will actually sell.Please have a Rockstar feature on the PS Store for celebrations of E3 or GTA’s anniversary or celebration of GTA:5′s release date?

Thanks for the recap, Chris. Another great week of PlayStation news & updates with even more to look forward to next week!
I’ll be tuned in right here during the SCE conference – with a fresh batch of donuts and a cold six pack on hand, gonna make a night of it.
@I-_-MaGiCzz-_-I I hear you, friend. Although I don’t believe all of “the PS2 games on the PSN Store are terrible”, as I was greatly suprised to see the original Max Payne added to the collection not long ago. It’s a wonderful game and still incredibly enjoyable, even after all of these years.
Give it a go if you haven’t already – it may even fulfill that Rockstar craving, to an extent.
I agree with the sentiment though, I too would love to see more ‘actual classics’ added sometime.
Thanks.

@ DAVIE
Come on……I can’t believe you’ve plagued this post whinging about the conference, when it was pretty obvious it will be shown as expected.
I hope you’ve learnt a lesson here?
Clearly you’re impatient!
Anyway, fingers crossed there are some suprise announcements, as i’m not sure there are any left with all the leaks surrounding the internet, the past few days!

@ Catkiller1
sony promised the comfrence would be on ps home friday. i though it would be a no show.
i apolagize mr. catkiller

Posted on 4 June, 2012 at 11:15 pm by Catkiller1
It was stated that a download would be available Friday, not the conference! Obviously a download that would appear like when you enter a new area!

@ DAVIE
Actually i’ve just read the HOME post again & you didn’t read it properly.
I was stated that a Theatre & Booth would be available to download to stream the conference at 02:00 on Tuesday. So basically the Theatre & Booth were in readiness for the event.
Before you start complaining etc, gather all the facts first, as you look a bit silly

Posted on 5 June, 2012 at 12:26 am by Catkiller1
@ DAVIE
I apologise for sounding a bit harsh fella, it just annoys me when the facts are within a post & you start complaining when you never understood it. I find it a bit disrespectful, that’s all!
To be fair they did delay the downloads but the conference has always been slated for 02:00. Take it easy & hopefully we’ll see a few surprises revealed.
I’m hoping Square Enix reveal within their conference a release date for Final Fantasy X HD & finally reveal Kingdom Hearts HD Remix!
I expect a reveal for Hitman HD Collection among others.
For SONY i’m not sure what they have left to reveal, as i’ve read numerous leaks from other sites.
Can’t wait to see footage of Beyond though!
