I missed the Ubisoft and Sony conferences, did I miss anything noteworthy?
Also, what's this I hear about EVE online?

$249 = 171 EURO's. Though, if you add 20% on that its still only just over 200. In theory in £'s at max it should be £200 with VAT.
I didn't see the Sony one, but by going on the lack of buzz both here and round the net, do I take it they've once again bored us to tears with yet another souless presentation? Anything of note that we didn't already know?
The multiple fat guys panting throughout most of the presentations was pretty good.
Uncharted 3 = BATSHIT AWESOME
The 3DS system update is now live, in time to prepare for Nintendo's conference. I think I'll play download and play Excitebike and Pokedex 3D for free while I wait for it 
Turns out I'm going to miss Nintendo's conference. Is there anywhere I can watch the entire conference once I'm done? I'm having trouble finding the whole Microsoft conference on IGN or YouTube.
Sly Cooper 4 coming next year, nice.
Judging by the comments even the Kinect ridden MS presentation was better than Sony’s?
As much as I do not like the direction MS are going in, at least their new thing is innovative. The Move is just a Wii after all. I reckon Kinect sales will go through the roof with all those kids releases in time for Xmas.

Errmmm. No!
As predicted is was NGP/Vita that was their focus, but at least they actually showed some games. Nothing much new, but there were actual exclusive real games.
meh, I have no interest in hand helds like many. I dont see how Uncharted and LBP versions on a handheld is big news at all to be honest. The console seems expensive also
Must say I think Sony are in danger of falling well behind in the next 12 months. The 3Ds will outsell this and I think MS will end up doing very well with Kinect by getting kids and Wii fans onboard
That's incitement to hatred right there.Not impressed by either tbh although another Halo is always good. Battlefield 3 is the only game I'm really looking forward too this year.
MS's conference was pitiful, and Sony didnt cover themselves in glory either. Very disappointed in both, but more with Sony, because I knew what was coming with MS.
Weaste, I remember you saying you'd suck Elvis' cock if the NGP was more expensive than the PS3. It looks like it'll retail for £249.99...
Elvis better have cleaned his dick this morning.

No you don't, but many do, and as they have sold around 70m PSPs, it was bound to be their focus when they are launching a new PSP at the end of this year. This is the reason that so many of their upcoming games had reveals previous to E3 - Starhawk for example - rather than being surprises, otherwise they would not have had the time. The 1st party lineup this year is packed.
I said more expensive than PS3 and 3DS. The official RRP for PS3 is 250 and the 3DS is 250 sterling. NGP/Vita is €250, so I was right. They never gave a sterling price in any case.
230 is the price Play.com is charging ATM for the WiFi model.
Play.com - Buy PlayStation Vita - Wi-Fi online at Play.com and read reviews. Free delivery to UK and Europe!
With a 3G data contract, it wouldn't surprise me if you could pick up the 3G model for 150.
It's more complicated than that isn't it? Distribution costs are higher in Europe (the cost of fuel is) as are differing distribution channels, publicity and marketing costs are higher (they have to deal with multiple languages of adverts and packaging etc.), social security costs for employees, etc. etc.
You can't simply do a currency conversion.
Do you reckon they'll be any news on Final Fantasy Versus XIII. The game has been in development for , something like , 9 years now ?
I doubt it, Square have XIII-2 to push, you know, the stuff they took out of FF-XIII so they it could run on XB360.
They're taking the piss with Versus. You'd think by now there would be some light at the end of the tunnel.
I've also seen a dramatic price drop for FFXIII. Was only £8 at Morrisons so I thought I'd check it out. Didn't get it before because most reviewers stated the game was too linear and there was only sparse amount of free roaming included.
The whole lot is very underwhelming.
At least I know there are great games on the way like Unchartered 3, Gears of War 3 and Assassins Creed. But we already knew about them. The only surprise was Halo.
But for people who have no interst in Kinect or handhelds it was a big waste of time

So for three yers in a row Sony don't do much? Not surprised really.
They only showed the most powerful handheld gaming device by far, with real games, and priced it the same as the 3DS.
You're in for a shock, because this next generation of consoles, and even PCs/Laptops, will be the last, so I'd suggest that you get used to the idea of a tablet or handheld sat in a dock.

Same old, same old. There's no soul there for gamers, nothing new.
Not that it's a bad piece of kit.
Doubt it somehow, but then you do tend to always make claims like this. We've argued about it before though, so it's not worth it again.
I don't want an argument, but the point remains, why on earth are Microsoft porting (not the phone version - the full version) of Windows 8 to ARM? Even Intel have an ARM licence - both can see where it's heading.
I won't stand for gay tablets and fruity handhelds, Weaste. You better be wrong about this.
You recently got an Xbox didn't you Lance. Have you got Kinect? It seems everything's being pushed that way at the moment and I can't imagine you jumping around your living room.
So did I miss anything? Didn't watch it this year, lost my appetite for gaming a lot in the last year.
I am looking forward to Elder Scrolls V though

feck no.
I bought Move, though, because I dig the Ping Pong. I am happy with what it is, a novelty, good for a laugh with friends. I certainly don't want developers shoehorning it into every game they can.
I don't think that they care about the angry birds crowd, as it will run that in any case. Dual analogue, touch screen, back touch pad, it has all the basis covered.
Just wait until it's cracked and has a 3DS emulator.
Yes ofcourse that is all true but I really don't see how you can justify all that and charge £235 for it as the rumours have it. Cheaper to import it.
This is why I'm going back to PC gaming. Just give me ME3, Elder Scrolls V and TOR and I will be more than happy. Halo and Gears are a nice bonus though
Now, this is a bit daft.
It's a 3D display, but if two people have their 3D glasses on, it gives you local multiplayer in 2D without splitting the screen! Basically, each person sees something totally different.
It's not going to work is it?

Probably is, but then you have the hassle when it breaks.
i was disappointed in both conferences, mainly because everything had already been leaked i suppose. looking forward to see what Nintendo are going to announce
I'd take the chance to save £70, my first PSP is still going.
Well I say that, I won't be buying it anyway atleast not until its got more than one game I would bother playing on it.
The TV im interested in if the price is right, again expecting that to be out of kilter with the dollar again.

I'd assume it probably will work.

Probably if you both sit in predetermined positions... which is bit of a hassle...
