18000 is my guess.

Spend a fraction of $$ for marketing, thousands upon thousands exposed to the product. Very smart.

I have high expectations, just not ruthless expectations. I expect to see the system, info about the system, some games, maybe a couple of shockers like The Last Guardian: PS4 Edition... if they go above and beyond and show even more surprising things and leave people buzzing about anything and everything Playstation 4, then they've maybe matched the hype this event is getting.

GAF is a much better seat. you'd be glued to your phone following the reaction anyways.
A "decent" screen has 1,200 seats? The fuck?

Yeah, but how does it compare to E3? 1,200 doesn't seem like that special a number.
:lol

"And by the way....not only is the PS4 only 300 dollars...
(Long pause)
...it's also available in stores. Right now."
Ok, that won't happen. But this is getting pretty exciting nonetheless.

Gromph did seem confident it won't though. We did survive a ton of people coming from reddit.
E3 is 300-400 usually.

Pretty funny really. The only other better venue for this would have been the Metropolitan Theatre's and that would have been overkill.

If they said the words two-ninety-nine, I as well as many others would have a heart attack. Day negative infinity for that thing!!!
Literally?

The venue is absolutely huge, so it comes as no surprise that there will be 1,200 people in the room.
Someone from the bank is going, and I expect we aren't the only analysts there.

So is there an archive expected anywhere? I leave work at exactly 6PM EST, so I'd miss the whole thing. Don't want to browse gaf, because I'd rather watch the reveals.

I abhor timed exclusives. Exclusives have the benefit of enjoying focused development and optimization for one console, timed exclusives are of absolutely no benefit. It's nothing but money blocking players out for a period of time.

to clarify: I have no insider infoes. It's just a gut feeling. I think there will be 1-2 games unveiled that are gonna be on a Killzone 2 CG trailer level creating immense fervor...
speculating.
Kaz Hirai walks on stage. Big screen in back shows the Playstation logo, and then a couple pieces of concept art pop up for future PS4 games. Next Kaz walks off stage thanking everyone for coming.
