More Theaters for PlayStation's E3 Conference

While the first batch of tickets for the PlayStation E3 conference experience in movie theaters have evaporated extremely quickly, Sony is trying to accommodate more gamers eager to check the broadcast out sitting in front of the silver screen with a bucket of pop corn on their lap

[Thatguy-310]

want more in LA! lol I'm on the waiting list but I don't want to risk going and not being let in

[Gazondaily]

At least you're on some list. Us lot in the UK are relegated to watching this at 2am on video streams that will no doubt buffer ever 0.0904 milliseconds p__p

[ZodTheRipper]

At least it's at 2am in your timezone... in mine it's even 3am! :D
But I feel like it's gonna be worth it so I'm staying up to watch it.

[Khalids19]

my timezone 5am lol

[zeusky]

sometime it seems more people who use this site are from the UK than the US. just an observation

[darthv72]

nothing closer to me than a sold out San Francisco location :(

[Flutterby]

This theater thing feels to me like something MS would do( being the experts in hype, though it didn't help titanfall), I get the feeling Sony must have something big for them to do this.

[kreate]

it probably did help titanfall. it wasn't as effective as one hoped.

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Quite frankly, it's Titanfall not helping itself. It had enough marketing. It's also not about Xbox One install base alone, this game was also released on Xbox 360 and PC, but the sales on those two platforms are also not that great...

I mean, its sales are good, afterall it's on the multi million range, but not on the gauge either EA or MS expected (not a new big contender on the mainstream shooter competition, no "cod killer").

[kreate]

so if I am able to go, wonder if I will end up seeing some n4g community there at the theatre.

can u guys write n4g on ur shirt so I can see u? put ur username if possible.

[nominal266]

Ill be going! Im going to try to get in line for the LA one too. even though im wait-listed. =/

[kreate]

the santa monica one? that is kind of far from me cuz im in orange county. but i still want to go!

its like 1hr 15m drive i think.

[Sitdown]

I was on the wait list for Atlanta, but got upgraded to confirm. Not sure if others experienced this or if it was because I sent an email.

[Blasphemy]

what did you say in the email

[Sitdown]

"Great Evening,
My name is _________, and I am currently on the waiting list for the Atlanta theater (Regal Hollywood 24); can you work your magic and push me to having a spot in the room?!?! Pleeeeease?!?!?!"

[Blasphemy]

im on the waiting list to but i also dont want to drive all the way across town just to see if i can get in. will miss half the conference if i do(can still watch on youtube but its not the same lol) cause i stay 30 minutes away from the theater they are showing it at.

[Godmars290]

May not need to be said, but Sony REALLY needs to deliver with this.

[elazz]

And they will!

Good to see that Sony reacted on the amazing response from fans in US and also in Canada they added a few.

[MysticStrummer]

I have to think this new format means they really have something they want people to see and talk about, so I'm very intrigued but also trying to keep my expectations low. If they really deliver it will be epic. If they fall a little flat, well it won't be the end of the world but it will be a fairly high profile semi-setback.

[fonduktoe]

Momentum is everything at this stage of the game especially with most of consumers undecided

[MasterCornholio]

You know what would happen if they dont?

Which is why I believe that they will. If Sony is renting out all these cinemas it has to be because they have something to show. Will be washing this life at 3 am here in Spain.

[elazz]

Me too from Belgium, will be up at 03:00

[snookiegamer]

@Godmars290

I wouldn't worry...Sony is seasoned in this business. They're not about to hire Movie Theatres just to talk about PS4 firmware updates LOL :)

Sony/PS4 is gonna knock it out of the park!!!

#e3iscoming

[anarchyxrulz]

NEW YORK!!!

[Moe-Gunz]

I was on the waiting list here in NY, but to day got a confirmation ticket. I"M GOING BABY! lol

[anarchyxrulz]

I'm on the waiting list as well. How did you get an actual ticket? Or are you talking about the email confirmation that says you are on the waiting list?

[Plagasx]

Same here. I was on the waiting list since they started it and today I got the email ticket.. My life is complete :)

[Moe-Gunz]

Same as @Plagasx

Was on the waiting list when it was first announced. Today I got a you have been change from waiting list to confirmed.

[Sitdown]

Add me to the list.... I got "upgraded"

[THC CELL]

UK.2 am is fine round me

[fonger08]

So if there are streaming issues on the big screen, are we allowed to pull out our cell phones and stream? Or will I get Shush'ed to death for using my phone in a theater?

[WeAreLegion]

You will get kicked out. Theaters are super militant about that now, after the shooting. :/

[fonger08]

Right... damn forgot about that madness

[adonis183]

not true at all. I always take my phone out when i'm watching a movie.

[Qrphe]

I can't imagine a cellphone connection being more reliable than whatever grounded connection the theatre is using.

[LightDiego]

Looks like something big is coming...
I hope so.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Can the entirety of Canada get at least one more theater? Jesus.

[Master-H]

There better be The Last Guardian or Crash Bandicoot level shit revealed Sony!

[BiggCMan]

Crash Bandicoot is something only the really old school Playstation fans want. It's not something that would be a megaton to the rest of the gaming community.

[Master-H]

I disagree, sir.

[BiggCMan]

^If you believe a new Crash would be a megaton, something that would sell millions and be really important to PS4. T

hen why didn't LBP become as big as Crash used to be? Why didn't Knack? These games are basically what Crash was back in the 90's and early 2000's, except not nearly as big.

LBP was extremely well praised and respected, and sold pretty well. But only the first game, and it quickly died down with LBP2 and LBP Karting, people just didn't want it.

I'm not saying it's bad, I really enjoy both Knack and LBP, and used to LOOOOOVE Crash Bandicoot. But Crash coming back is not going to be as big as people make it out to be.

I would immediately buy it myself, but it just won't be huge at all. Nostalgia often blinds logic, it is here.

[Flutterby]

I have been playing playstation since the first was released and I have never enjoyed crash bandicoot and have never wanted to get one, the ones I played where friends games and they didn't make me want one. I think there are probably not as many fans as you seem to think there is.

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

Sony must really have something Epic to show! Bc who really would want to watch some meh announcements for a couple of hours in a movie theater?? When you can watch at home or even your smartphone lol I have a feeling Sony will b dropping some bombs at E3! But with E3 you never know lol

[bigboirock]

I hope not a lot of people will die!!!

[WeAreLegion]

I hope they think this out next year. I'd love to see a wider release of this event.

[Says you]

I'm sorry Godmars290,but if anything Microsoft better be
the one that show's the games otherwise all that talking about,the games business was just that all talk and no substance from them,and they better not show CGI trailers like they did with Halo 5 or use cutting edge pc like they did with Dead Rising 3 or Forza 5 or Ryse Son of Rome.

and I'm sorry that I brought up Microsoft into this but come on anybody that says Sony better show the games, better hold up the same regards to Microsoft after what they've been chanting.

[Morgue]

Portland was filled in less than a day.

[psforward]

Yup, can't wait to see what they have in store for us.

[metatronx]

Portland! Woop woop!! ;)

[DJustinUNCHAIND]

Can't wait.

Disappointment on the silver screen.

[Flutterby]

I don't think Sony will be doing anything about the xbone, it's probably all about playstation so rest assured no disappointment will be had.

[Ricegum]

Oohhhhhhh burnnnnnnnnnnn.

[alti]

that's exactly why he believes it will be a disappointment.

[VlllAxelLea]

fuck man I wish they would add more theatres in northern California, I have to drive 2 hours to San Francisco

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Sony E3 is going to be the equalvent of just gamer's heaven!

[nix]

every time MS tells that E3 is going to be about games, Sony adds theaters. if i was MS i would be scared of this move.

something big must be happening otherwise it'll be an epic fail. and i'm sure sony knows that very well.

having said that. can't wait!

[LAWSON72]

I dont see the big deal, I think sitting comfortably in my own home without the overpriced theater food will be just fine. MS kind of has a conference at a bad time for such an event I could see it now those in CA be going to theaters at 8AM lol.

[ajax17]

Cleveland gets screwed over again...

[Sadist3]

The day you walk into a movie theater to watch an E3 press conference is the day you realize you are a freaking loser. Or 10 years old.

[Milesprowers]

I'll watch it on youtube like a normal person.

[alti]

boo normal people

[Silly gameAr]

Some people like to socialize and talk about games in person.

[Spikeantestor]

I work at a theatre and I'm working Monday over the course of the broadcast. I just keep hoping mine gets added to the list...

[voodoogts]

Lets roll in the nerds in the theaters! LOL

[S2Killinit]

so I have a question, I cant watch the conference live even at home, how can I see the whole thing once I get home? Is there any hope?

[Kidmyst]

I'm curious how much it'd cost a theater to just volunteer to stream this. Some older movies can't sell that many tickets so you'd think the money the theater would make in sales of candy, popcorn and drinks would bring in more than a old movie just about to leave theaters and these Sony events at theaters are selling out fast.

[MasterofMagnetism]

The more, the better.

[breakpad]

at the end they will only show Uncharted and Order 1886 ..too much hype no substance at all ...i want to get on the hype train but Sony has disapointed me so many times...still hope for Crash B. or a Last Guardian announcement

[dantendo]

Sony PLEASE just open up more screens in existing theatre locations! Transfer these waiting list passes to real tickets! I am driving an hour to wait in a line, to MAYBE see this, please just secure waiting lists people as actual tickets...

[PHOEBUS]

May we have some Playstation love in Tampa please!?

[user7402931]

vr headset.... im calling it
