Title: E3 2006
Post by: FyberOptic on May 09, 2006, 12:08:35 am

I figured we should have a topic to post all the various goodies we hear about from E3.  So far, here's a couple of tidbits from Sony:

PS3 to start at $500, $600 for top-end version. (http://www.gamespot.com/e3/e3story.html?sid=6149470)

PS3 controller to have no rumble, but have motion detection (http://www.pro-g.co.uk/news/09-05-2006-2756.html)


EDIT:  Actually, on the right (http://www.gamespot.com/e3/index.html), you can view the Sony press conference.  And Nintendo's should be up sometime tomorrow, too.

Huzzah, with my wisdom teeth removal and internet troubles I had almost forgot about E3. Here's hoping for lots of info from lots of places.

Rumor of Wii for $249 (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/05/08/wii-to-sell-for-249/), but we won't know for sure till tomorrow (Tuesday). 

We did find out that the controllers will have speakers, though.

A rundown of the Nintendo press conference, in my LJ. (http://fyberoptic.livejournal.com/190013.html)

Some higher res photos from that particular event, with a more detailed rundown than mine. (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/05/09/engadget-and-joystiqs-live-coverage-of-nintendos-wii-e3-event/)

Nintendo did good in my opinion lots of games shown and I'm expecting good stuff, although i mnoticed taht so far Super Smash brothers hasn't been shown so I don't think we'll see it at launch.

The huge line to get to try the Wii (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGlvLQzvJNA).  I dunno if I'd have been able to stand in line that long for anything.  And what's one to do if they need to use the bathroom!

I think anyone with a penis (and possibly some without) wouldn't mind playing that for a little while.
