Watch Playstation's E3 conference in movie theaters

I do not understand the draw of this event. It's a press conference. What is the point of watching it in a theater?

That's pretty much how I feel about this new fade of broadcasting live events like concerts in theaters, and they charge for those.

Went to see a Rifftrax Live show at a theater here in Denver a year or so ago, it was alright, but honestly, I would never pay money to do it again.

For those in Sold Out locations:

Please Note: Your seat(s) are guaranteed until 15 minutes prior to Show Start. At that time, all guests including wait list guests will be seated based on priority in the line.

So there's still hope if you show up in line and people don't use their tickets in time.

Although I think this is pretty stupid, it really does make it seem like it's going to deliver in terms of megatons.

I can't imagine how funny this would have been if Sony made this the last year. With the price and DRM bombs and then kinda awkward when people would start crying in theaters when the KH3 trailer showed up :p

I wish i could go, but there's nothing near here (San Diego might be the closer) and of course Mexico is out of the question in this kind of stuff. Enjoy those who are going :)

Grabbed a ticket to the Pittsburgh one since the theater is only fifteen minutes from me. Should be a cool experience. Who am I gonna see there?

To be entertained by a feature film that has a storyline and actors I enjoy. This is announcements of games. To each their own, I guess. I hope all that go end up having a good time. Just not my thing.
People go watch events (and not just movies) on the big screen as well. Again, not for you but the possibility that there is a market segment for it and is actually viable (this will probably be fully booked) is something not hard to get your mind around.

Fine, reserved mine for Montreal. Just waiting on the confirmation email.

It'll be an interesting experience, if nothing else.

The Kansas City one is in a casino. That might tip me over the edge since there's something else to do other than drive into the city, watch a thing, and go home. Then again, that "something to do" would probably clean me out...

There will be a special 30 minute post-show for PlayStation fans exclusively in theaters, plus some very cool take-home surprises..
free ps4s confirmed? jk. But cool, something to take home..
 
Normally stuff like this is very far away for me, but this time the closest theater is only about 15 minutes away.

So why not. Went ahead and registered a ticket.

Worldwide release would be awesome(for XV). I mean it comes to every territory on the same day. I also hope for a real Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer.

Why are you reading my tag instead of the title of my post?
Im going to the Houston viewing. If any other gaffers will be there lets get in touch!
Heya! I'll be there. Lemme PM you.
I think it says something that the negativity in this thread is at an all time low almost. Normal people are normal people too guys. You say all the gamer stereotypes, but aren't you one (a person who plays games and is excited about E3) too? I've wasted many more hours of my life doing other things I didn't want to do or wasn't interested in.

Just got my confirmation for the Salt Lake City one. Should have waited a little bit before registering again, haha.

The hype is real.

So DEEP DOWN is basically confirmed-between that trailer and the US/EU copyright. I really don't need much else from Sony this year. That should keep me satisfied.

Also, some God of War HDremakenss it looks like, too.

I'm wondering what the surprises are. When I went to the Xbox One launch and PS4 launch in Montréal, Microsoft were giving away bags and 5$ XBL cards, Sony were giving away 20$ off Knack at EB Games. I'm hoping it's something like 3 months of PS+ or 256GB Vita Memory Cards.

thanks for the laugh
putting all the most ardent sony fans in special camps for the duration of the E3 conference seems like a good idea all round.

I think it'll be nice to get to watch the presser with a huge crowd of people. I've never been to E3 myself.

Plus they're giving away free stuff. Who doesn't like free stuff?

My thoughts exactly. It'll be nice to maybe feel like your there in a crowd of cheering people or excitement or disappointment.

We will all see.
