E3 2011: AT&T Partnering with Sony for NGP 3G?

IGN- Inside source says an E3 meeting with game makers is in the works.

This would be big!

[DA_SHREDDER]

It not only be big, but very bad. AT&T is the worst possible service for the 3g. Sony can't do anything right these days.

[ksense]

well apple/iphone did something right with the "worst possible 3g service". So maybe sony can expect the same sort of "failure" like the iphone with the ngp

[fluffydelusions]

Yeah. I'll just stick to Wifi only version and create a hotspot on my Android device.

[Joni-Ice]

I hope its Verizon. Dont like AT&T.

[darthv72]

you have to commit to a service when purchasing the 3g model. I would like to buy the 3g model without signing up for the service.

I know there will be a non 3g model but i am wanting to get the complete unit and have the option to use the service.

I couldnt get att to sell me an iphone without committing to a data plan. technically, the iphone can use wifi for data so that really upset me when they said I HAD to have one of their $30 +/- data plans on top of a voice plan.

If you intend to use it for the bare minimum then you shouldnt be penalized into settling for the lesser model.

@ darth
There is an article about verizon changing there data plans. Something about one plan and all devises on your plan can share it. So hopefully that is true so i can still keep my current plan and share it with a 3g model of ngp..if it is even for verizon =/

Verizon and AT&T suck... I'll bet they'll both charge $50 a month and give you a cap on how much you can use it. ROFL!! Overpriced piles of garbage if you ask me, every phone company in the U.S. SUCKS!

[remanutd55]

noooooooo AT&T sucks big time !!!

[chase167]

AT&T sucks what a bummer

[NoOoB101]

>< this would be very disappointing if true

[Neko_Mega]

AT&T Blows, but I wouldn't be shock if they make it where you can pick to go throught AT&T or Verizon.

Seeing Verizon has Sony's phone or maybe that might be why the NGP isn't with Verizon.

Don't care, I will use Wifi over 3G or 4G anytime.

[lazertroy]

4G better be announced at E3

[iNFAMOUZ1]

Bring it to t mobile!!!

[house]

t mobile is at&t they just got bought out by them a few months ago.

on topic: god please not them i would hate to have to make a 3g plan with at&t there plans suck!

[Emilio_Estevez]

3g w ATT is better than NoG

[B1663r]

Wow the two evilest companies working together, that makes this product like evil^2

[blackburn10]

You try so hard to troll. To bad it never works out.

[TheCrazyMerc]

NO VERIZON!

[zeal0us]

they are better letting us choose what service provider we would like to us it with.

some ppl like att
some ppl like tmo(maybe soon too be att&tmo if the merge is pass by the fcc)
some ppl like sprint
some ppl like verizon
some ppl like the others

[Cadence]

Then lets like the one with the cheapest internet service for 3G.

[Zuhk]

I've been in a house for 5 years with people with the same "AT&T sucks attitude" and they've had Verizon and sprint. I've lived on the east coast and sw america and everywhere in between and the entire time AT&T has made their phones, plans, and service look like a joke. I truly believe that most ppl on that bandwagon truly have no idea of what they're talking about and are just bandwagon haters. I'm not all pro AT&T but I've experienced the difference and I can say, AT&T doesn't suck.
Go ahead haters... Disagree.

Edit: by the way... Theyve all switched to AT&T in the last few months and agree that the service and customer service are all way better.
