Easter eggs: hidden E3 booth interviews in PlayStation Store

The PlayStation 3 Store has hidden video easter eggs. - Image 1SolidPython tipped us off to some interesting goings-on on the PlayStation Store. Apparently, Sony has quietly released some booth interview videos for people download over the network.

The only thing is, you have to go a-hunting for the said videos. That means only one thing: it's easter egg hunting time, and we're here to help you discover them all!

Now, SolidPython's tip also came with the helpful thread link below, and on the second page, you'll see that Sprinter has listed the following locations for seven booth interview vids:
  • LittleBigPlanet interview: Games > Downloadable Games > Super Rub a Dub
  • Ratchet and Clank interview: Featured Items > Ridge Racer 7 > Ufra Special Events > Page 3
  • NBA 08 interview: Featured Items > Go! Puzzle Game Packs
  • Uncharted: Drake's Fortune interview: View All > M-Q > Nancy Drew
  • Singstar interview: Videos > Blu Ray discs > Bruce Springsteen Live in Dublin
  • Heavenly Sword interview: Games > Classics > Page 2
  • FolkLore interview: View All > H-L > Lucky You
Please note that these seem to refer only to the U.S. version of the PlayStation Store. If you're a member of the American version, why don't you try confirming these for yourself. In the meantime, Sony probably knows that this is happening right now, so if it's a programming error, expect a full-fledged E3 video section sometime in the near future.

Pretty silly to hide this content. Can't they afford the bandwidth? LOL



Nice job QJ.

I found some of them they say "You have found the E3 secret #1 out of 7!"

When you find those videos it says you found #x out of #7, Good luck finding them all, or something to that extent. There is already a e3 section in the Playstation Store also. So i don't think this was a programming error. I thought it was kinda cool.

How about you shut the F.U.C.K up you piece of S.H.I.T. Stay the F.U.C.K out of the PS3 section Ass.hole.

I don't want to go hunting through every freakin PS network page again. I have already been through all of these before and why would they do this crap. That is just annoying.

its only a bit of banter.. not serious

» A little fun, a little marketing

That's probably the intent. When I found the first (Heavenly Sword) I went looking for others. It got me intrigued as to where the others were hidden. However, marketing probably had a bit to do with this. Hide them, and maybe you'll come across something you'll want to buy while you're searching.
