if priced reasonably without any stupid DRM then i'm game... and universal in-game music please!
Click to expand...

Universal in-game music at this point is not really viable across the board for all games. I honestly think they can better spent their resources elsewhere, like improving features of the PSN service as a whole, or continuing to perfect the XMB user experience (i.e. directly linking you to messages when they're sent, directly showing the trophy's you unlock when you get them, all when pressing the PS Button).

There are many many things I think they can improve on before they start looking into adding new features.

Is that nope, they aren't, or nope, you don't know?

I thought someone mentioned that G4 was going to host it live on TV?

well on tvguide. what's airing on G4 at that time is AotS. stuff like this really can't see it be on TV. online is good enough since they are streaming it live.

I think they meant a PSN Music store, not in-game music (which is already supported but must be incorporated in each title.)

we should see new games wand and Firmware
Click to expand...

Really? I dont' think we'll get any big announcements about new Firmware. This is GDC afterall. We'll see though. I'd be glad to see some Firmware announcements, but I expect none.

What are the odds of them announcing a price cut for the system now?
Click to expand...

the ps3 is selling pretty good at the moment and there are shortages. there won't be a price cut any time soon.

Well, they're shipping a slightly lighter slim now (shrunk RSX, smaller heatsink I'm guessing), but I suspect that just gets them to the breakeven point. Only thing I would expect is PS2 BC, I've joked that you'll know when Sony stops losing money on selling PS3s by the software PS2 BC announcement.

Its the perfect time to get firmware out the way so sony can focus on games and maybe psp2 at E3. The only thing kind firmware-ish we should get from e3 imo is psn paid services. Im think is they talk about firmware tonight it will be about the 3d firmware update.

I have zero expectations, forgot it was even tonight til about ten minutes ago. Perfect frame of mind!
Click to expand...

It is...

The only expectations, really, because we've already heard them:

- Firmware 3.20 with 3D support
- "Playstation Move"... possible "official" unveiling with official name, release date, possibly mentioning Tiger Woods 10 as the first to support it (hot coffee minigame? lololol)
- Maybe something about the Phyre middleware coming to PSP

Nice potential bonus: More about Socom 4? Probably not.

Yes, Sony has a lot of music business. They also mentioned to include a music store in their portable gadgets integrated PSN, so it would be really bizzarre to don't include it in PS3/PSP.

You can follow a ghetto live blog by reading the search.twitter of "Sakamoto"

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=sakamoto

The only interesting news to come from this so far is:

- Friend Collection is nearing 3 million sales in JP
- Warioware DIY features a Metroid microgame made by Sakamoto
- Metriod Other M starts directly where Super Metroid ended.

edit:

- Dario Argento's "Deep Red" is Yoshio Sakamoto's biggest inspiration (????)

From Nintendo of America's twitter...

"Mr. Sakamoto just showed a Metroid microgame he created with WarioWare: D.I.Y. to #GDC attendees at his lecture..."

"WarioWare: D.I.Y. fans: you will soon be able to download and play the custom Metroid microgame that Mr. Sakamoto showed today at #GDC!!"

That's crazy.
In a good way, of course.
