The "new" E3 is this week with only 5000 people attending, no e3 babes, no million hardware companies and no over the top stands, it will be all about the games and the hardware they run on.
It will be interesting to see how the event pans out, while its a shame it will have lost its amazing look it could be a good thing and be about what it is supposed to be again

Rumour mill

I think the biggest announcement that people think will happen is that metal gear solid will NOT be ps3 exclusive and be also coming to the xbox360 and if that deal has been done it will be a massive blow to Sony
There will be some form of Killzone demo, I should hope its not just a video again, but knowing Sony it will probably be video of in game graphics which will look amazing but not quite that of the first video but then when actual playable demos of it pop up it will look great but again not quite as good as the video.
Microsoft has already said an exclusive Sony only game will be coming to the 360 and everyone knowing tha the maker of MG will be leaving his company and sony only deal and rumoured to be going to work for Microsoft just like the Final Fantasy guy

PSP v2.0 may be reviled at the sony press conference

Mario Kart Could be shown off

I thought was allready general knowledge that MGS4 is not going to be PS3 exclusive.

I also wonder if they are showing off the Supreme Commander expasion pack.

Expansion pack probably not, been covered in another show recently and shown off, no, MGS4 has had nothing more then rumour, but the strong rumour of the creator going to MS has been around for about a year now and the fact he is not going to make any more

In your list where you say "9. Devil May Cry 4 (I think this will be the one to go to 360 tbh)" are you saying that this is the one you think MS has said was PS3 exclusive and is now coming to 360?

I ask this as DMC4 was anounced months ago to be multi-platform.

Did not know that so it wont be that then, so looks to be metal gear then, that will drive the Sony Fan boys crazy and piss them off loads and Sony will be well hacked off as well
Cant wait to find out

The new psp was a let down, people were expecting a better tuned control layout, hardrive and smaller

All they have done is made it lighter and a bit slimmer and added a digital video output port.

Sony laid claim to many exlusives but many they were just out right lying about them as a number are going to be multiformat

Unreal Torny 4 they said was Exclusive to ps3, they may have meant consoles becuase everyone knows it is coming to ps3, But oh wait, its coming to 360 next year, a little later but its supposed to look better on the 360 and more live features so taking longer.

They also added a small memory cache for the UMD which may increase performance.

True, that and ther 333mhz games should be better but not for a bit

I think I will get god of war on the psp looks great
