Sony Sets Date and Time for gamescom Press Conference
gamescom is E3′s European counterpart in almost every way. It’s the largest industry trade show in Europe, as E3 is in America. It also is a great venue for major console manufacturers to make massive announcements.
In the past Sony has announced major titles, and more. Even the slimmer, lighter PlayStation 3 and subsequent price drop was announced there back in 2009. That makes the following date and time something you’ll definitely want to mark on your calendars, as this is when Sony is having their annual gamescom press conference.
Sony Computer Entertainment of Europe has set the date for their upcoming gamescom press conference to be:
Tuesday, August 16th at 7:00PM CET. (12:00PM EST, 9:00AM PST)
We expect the show to mainly focus on the PlayStation Vita, but we wouldn’t rule out any surprise PlayStation 3 announcements.
We’ll be there live at gamescom in Cologne, Germany for the Sony press conference, so stick with PlayStationLifeStyle for up-to-the-minute gamescom coverage.

Cant wait for more Sly Cooper thieves in time info !!!!
a roumer on ign a few weeks back suggested a price drop of about £20
I’ve heard these rumors for about a month, perfect timing if you ask me.
PS3 price drop, cross party chat, all the other must have features, improved controller, new exclusives, imrproved UI, a revision would be nice and better, price drop of Move, navigation and Eye, improved Move controller, improved navigation, add Move’s motion tech and rumble to navigation, improved camera, more PSMove games, more camera games and camera compatible games and I think that’s all the PS3 needs to be completely perfect.
What kind of flavor ice-cream would you like, as well?
LOL I find it funny and sad how there can be owners of something that don’t want what they own to improve. Just in case you thought it was the case, I’m not saying give us those things Sony or FUCK YOU, I hate you, I will never buy anything from you again, I’m just saying things the PS3 needs and what would make it perfect.
That’s how things work, a company makes a product, we give our feedback, the company listens, the smart company that wants to keep the owners of their products and get new ones thus making more money, makes those things happen. How do you think the Xperia X10 mini’s came about? that’s right, Sony Ericsson made the X10, it was too large for women’s hands in Europe so they let SE know this and than SE released the mini’s.
And what I ask makes you believe Sony will listen to your random comment on a random article on a gaming website? Yeah some of those things would be great (Explain how a price drop is a console feature), I’m all for a better XMB, SCRATCH THAT. I want a new XMB, NOW. The current one is a heaping mess compared to what the 360 is.
It’s like comparing an Iphone (360) to a Brick (PS3). But Sony rarely listen to what the consumer has to say, case in point as you’ve done. The PSP: People complained like mad, no second analog, a bad screen and all other kinds of things. How many PSPs do you reckon it took for Sony to perfect a design of what we wanted. Well considering the PS Vita isn’t even out yet. Three.
My point is if your making this list for the fun of it, knock yourself out it’s a free website but don’t except Sony to be reading this list and to give you all these things, the chances of that happening are VERY slim.
Also I’m making another prediction. PS4…..SLIM!
What’s wrong with the XMB? I have absolutely no problems with it.
I don’t think it’s as good as the one the XBOX has. I’ve always wanted Sony to try something similar perhaps even the feature so that when you get a trophy you jusy press the home button and you get a smal version of the XMB come up and take you to the trophies.
It’s not a big deal I know but I just think if we got anything I’d want a new XMB. (I’ve seen people online who you can download from but I’ve always been a bit paranoid about downloading certain things online)
Sony have never let me down, so I’m sure they will be announcing something new this Gamescom
