Microsoft brings E3 to Xbox Live, where's Sony response for PSN?

July 03, 2007 in News comments 11

last year E3 was great for Microsoft. They brought all the E3 coverage of game trailers and demos to Xbox Live. Microsoft has its plans already for E3 this year. But nothing from Sony; are they hiding anything up their sleeve?

In a move that may baffle many, Sony has yet to announce any plans for the PS3 for E3 compared to what Microsoft has for the Xbox 360 to bring E3 home.

Last year Microsoft did a great job on Xbox Live with the Xbox 360 as they brought the latest game demos, trailers, etc all from the show floor and piped them directly into the homes of Xbox 360 games and the Xbox Live service to enjoy.

So now the question comes up, with Microsoft getting ready to do it all over again for the second year in a row, where is the Sony announcement of E3 content?

With the PlayStation Network and the PlayStation Store yet to really pick up a lot of steam this could be a great opportunity for Sony to show that they have what it takes to have an always-evolving and updating network which can compete and beat the Xbox 360.

It should be interesting to see if the PS3 gets the same demos as the Xbox 360 and which console can get them available first over their respective networks whether it be Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network.

    Well they pretty much are, They are upgrading the PS Store when E3 happens probably to deal with the content that will piped through, considering right now the Store isn't really built for a demo a week let alone possibly hundreds of videos and lots of demo's over 3 days.

    Bandito, Sony steals everything they use from their competitors, didn't you know that?

    Are that many people really concerned? You can still keep up with everything shown at E3 on internet sites, as well as keep up with all the systems instead of just one.

      Actually given history MS steal stuff from there competitors like rumble and controller buttons.
      But this is a big move on Sony's part. They want to surprise everyone at E3. There is no reason to announce anything, if they do whats the surprise then.

    Yes. And then do something of their own. You know that thing on their own is a modest start? Home.

    Every company steals from the other, it's an unwritten rule. It's just a matter of who does it best.

    I'm pretty sure that PS Demos and Vids should be made more comfortable in the Store and whatnot.
