Cool, thanks for clarifying. I've never seen those sales before! Seems to me like retailers are even more likely to charge full price for games at console launches cause they know people are hyped, hah. Anyways, I'll keep an eye out for deals this time.

Well, in January he said that we are a few months away from a new IP reveal from Guerilla. And that XIII Versus will be renamed and that both FFXV and FFXVI are in development implying that they were separate games.

But who's to say they won't have more of that, only targeted more toward the European gamers?

Ya keep an eye out but they usually happen as a way to draw you in since all the stores are competing against each other to bring you in at launch. Vita had B2G1, 3DS had B1G1@50%, PSP had B2G1, and Wii U had B1G1@40% at one place, but also had B2G1 either somewhere at launch or really shortly after. So that's minimum 20% off all games, and as high as 33% off all games. It's not worth preordering because of this.
Just for reference, here are all the deals that took place at the Vita launch:

Plans change and insiders get stuff wrong, I'm confident in Demon Souls 2 though.
Gamescom conferences are always 1 hour, but the pacing is completely different compared to E3.
They tend to go straight to the point with very little fillers and PR moments.
Last year's conference was 1 hour as well but was packed with many more announcements than the E3 conference which lasted much longer.

I hope they show off some more 1st year games that we haven't heard about. I've got more stuff I want to preorder. I'm five bucks away from paying off my 7th game (almost all 2014 games). I've ebayed some stuff and did various things online (like filing out credit apps) for money so I've not really used any of my pay checks yet. I'll save pay check money for sales although I'll probably avoid most launch titles. Shadowfall will get me through until some post launch titles like Infamous come out.
Realistically we will see
PS3
New trailer for Beyond Two Souls
GT5 trailer
some third party trailers
PS4
KZ SF MP trailer
inFamous SS trailer
DriveClub Trailer
some 3rd party multiplat trailer
Vita
KZ Merc Trailer
Tearaway trailer

The Order: 1886 will be on display in some fashion, too. Right?

That's just speculation. But they've been hyping what they're going to show at gamescom quite a bit.

Seeing as Sony seem to have several troll-happy, albeit consumer-friendly, excecutives these days, I wonder if they'll rub the 13 country fiasco in MS's face
If they're launching in those European countries and MS isn't, I could definitely see a little jab thrown in there, especially given that this is a European focused show. I mean, MS basically handed them that one; Sony just has to take it.

Co-op would be sweet.
What is this bingo you speak of?

Oh shit! Has the thread started? Where do I sign up?
That would be awesome. That's really one major area where Crackdown was a better game. Providing co-op multi.

You want in December while the people, like me living in Middle East, would want as soon as it is released but probably won't get before mid to early November, IMO. We should swap places.

I think it might be a little late for Microsoft to avoid embarrassment.
I think it looks ok..but unless they have something different to show I won't mind if they keep new footage for TGS
Interesting. Definitely won't mind seen some gameplay for this one

It blew me away when IGN's Colin Moriarty pointed out on Podcast Beyond that Naughty Dog was able to put out the amazing Uncharted trilogy and the incredible The Last of Us before Team Ico (part of SCEJ) has been able to complete one damn game.
Insane.
