E3 2008; Sony keynote wrap-up

What a day to have a technical problem!

Instead of being able to 'live blog' the Sony press conference at E3 2008 like last year, we ended up being able to do absolutely nothing. Zip. Nada.

So, for those of you who don't already know what was discussed, here's a headline quick wrap-up and links to other stories from people who didn't have their equipment fail on them yesterday!

Headlines:

“If PlayStation in 2007 was all about hardware, PlayStation in 2008 is all about software.”

Resistance 2 caused cheers from the audience as Ted Price of Insomniac took on a 300 foot high Chimeran monster!

PlayStation Network gets a single sign-on system this Autumn on PS3, PSP and PC. You'll be able to check your frien list on the PC.

The new video service will appear as a new tab in the PS Store. On day one, Sony Pictures, Fox, MGM, Lions Gate, Warner Brothers, Disney and more will have content available. Movies can be copied to the PSP. When does it launch - right now, apparently!

Life with PlayStation, the global news and weather service PS3 Attitude got the scoop on last month, will launch by the end of July.

SOE previewed DC Universe, a new MMO for the PS3.

God of War III was announced as expected - "In the end, there will be only chaos!"

MAG (Massive Action Game) was launched. 256-player online madness!
