TPG writes: "Keeping a secret in the gaming industry is a lost art – you want to keep something juicy under wraps, you better have bombs implanted in your employees’s skulls – the ultimate NDA. Sony does not have a "boom goes the dynamite" policy apparently, as word has leaked out just before their E3 press conference that the PSP Go is real and it’s fantastic."

TPG News: The PSP Go is real, along with new Metal Gear and Gran Turismo
MyPS3 Writes:
Sony, like Microsoft, have been a timid player at E3 over the past few years. They haven’t been spectacular, but they haven’t been a letdown, either. As long as they don’t do a Nintendo and promise the world but then only provide WiiMusic, being timid is OK at E3.
However, Sony have had a knack of making assumptions rather than promises. They’ve assumed, two years in a row, that it would be "the year of the PS3." The truth is, 2007 was the year of the 360 and 2008 didn’t really belong to anyone.
Buy Sony have been pulling the punches as of late. Killzone 2 has hit the PS3 after a long awaited debut, and inFamous is garnishing critical acclaim as it hits shelves across the planet. There are plenty of other exclusive titles set to hit the PS3 in 2009 as well.
There’s Heavy Rain that has PS3 fanboys drooling, as well as the intriguing yet tedious MGS and Snake teasing that have surfaced over the past few weeks. PSP GO has also hit the press as of late, so whatever is left of the PSP audience should be pleased by that.
As E3 09 approaches, what should we expect to see from the Sony camp? Are we going to hear the same cockiness that has plagued their conferences over the past few years? Or will we see confidence, backed up by GT5 and God of War III in-game footage?

MyPS3: Sony at E3 Predictions
My360 Writes:
Microsoft have been the timid performer at E3 over the past few years. They haven’t exceeded expectations, nor have they disappointed. Last years expo had a few surprises – some good (like Final Fantasy XIII coming to 360) and some bad (like the You’re In The Movies fiasco).
But as the current console "war" begins to heat up and hit boiling point, one can’t help but have high expectations for this years expo. Everyone expects Nintendo to come out guns blazing after an embarrassing conference last year and Sony has teased and promised plenty of things. Then again, teasing and promising is just what Sony does.
Over the course of the week we’ll be looking at what Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft have in store for us this year. What we expect to see, what has been teased, predicted and what we’d like to see surprise us this year.

My360: Microsoft at E3 Predictions
"Dave Halverson," was actually kind of dreading the day I’d finally play inFAMOUS, having thoroughly convinced myself that Sucker Punch had lost their minds the moment I laid eyes on the regular Joe that would follow in the footsteps of one of the most fun-to-control and charismatic characters to ever grace the widescreen; Sly Cooper. How do you top a suave raccoon that hangs out with a turtle and a hippopotamus? The last game in the Sly series came with custom red/blue glasses to play the special 3D levels. Do you have any idea how cool that is? How’s a guy in a motorcycle jacket that shoots electricity out of his hands supposed to compete with that? I wouldn’t care if I didn’t absolutely love everything Sucker Punch touches, but I’ve been on the band wagon since they revolutionized physics on the N64 with Rocket Robot on Wheels.

inFamous Review from play magazine.
It was one of the worst kept secrets of the year that turned into a full blown leak today via Qore. The PSP Go looks to spice up Sony’s portable lineup while leaving the current PSP model on shelves, similar to the situation Nintendo created earlier this year with the DS Lite and DSi. For Sony, though, the model refresh won’t have anywhere near the impact in either sales or product innovation. Read on to find out just why this is the case.

Ever since the Nintendo Wii was released back in 2006 it has been one of the most sought after items ever. Their marketing towards the system has made it gold bringing all ages together to just enjoy the simplest of games but is it truly the dominant force it has turned out to be ?. Here is lvlone’s E3 analysis on the matter dating the release of the console.
"Nintendo’s first true E3 involving the Wii was in 2006. It was here the public got to see many of the now classic games in the Wii library, including Mario Galaxy, Metriod Prime 3, and Wario Ware: Smooth Moves."

Koku Gamer writes: "As games have gotten more complex, they have opened endless doors of opportunity. Game developers have been grasping these opportunities for quite some time now. Now, not only do you pay money for a game but you also have the opportunity to spend money on plenty of various "things" to take you from having no life to having even less than no life. Many of us get sucked into this trend because we actually like it? to a degree. Let’s see if you remember spending money on some of the following?"
