Hilarious E3 Press Conference Video!

Posted May 23, 2006 at 10:47AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: PS3 Tags: e3, industry news, Sony
Ó

I assume most of our readers checked out Sony's E3 Press Conference online. If not the whole conference, at least small tidbits of it. And it didn't take much time to notice the fact that Sony was pretty much unprepared for E3. Where Microsoft looked professional with their press conference, Sony looked all over the place.

And guess what? A few guys have edited, or should I say, remixed Sony's E3 Press Conference. And trust me, it's worth a good laugh. It doesn't matter whether you're an Xbox 360 Fanboy or a PS3 Fanboy, you should check out this hilarious video. It's THAT funny!




I personally found the Genji 2 part to be absolutely hilarious. Share your opinions in the comments ;)

# why yall pissedGuest 2006-05-23 12:10
tha fact is whoeva posted this video was right to post it, to be a good news site you need to be positive and negative, you know 600 dollars is alot of money, you know genji 2 sucked, and you know that when kaz says ridge racer you laugh, there is no reason for you to be mad at him, i give him props for what he did

# this iste is teh dumbGuest 2006-05-23 12:11
you should all get your news from ign from now on. this site uses forums as their sources and post crappy movies that have nothing to do with the system besides bashing it.

# WTFGuest 2006-05-23 12:14
seriously who puts down the ps3 on the supporting website, think about it, if you dont like the ps3, dont be putting news and videos that have relavince to it on the supporting website, put it on the wii website, or the 360 website if you love them so much.



PS3 IS STILL GONNA KICK 360'S ****IN ASS!!!!!

better features for a little bit more, think about it, sony wont dissapoint, but it you still dont think so, then just go get a blue ray player for more, get cheaper games on a 360, and worse hardware on a 360.



The 2 consols that will be the leaders at the end of this, will be the wii and the ps3, there is no way around it

This is a PS3 Site. And it's our responsibility to post whatever is related to the PS3. If you don't like it, it's your opinion. If you find it funny, it's still your opinion.



I just posted something which I found very funny. And I'm not an XBOX360 Fanboy, or a Wii fanboy. And I didn't post it to bash the PS3.



Calm down. If you don't like the video, don't view it. After all, I'm not forcing you to watch it, am I? ;)

just because you dont agree with the content being funny doesnt mean its not funny to others.

even if it does bash the system it doesnt mean that you dont like it, or that you shouldnt buy it.

if they only posted positive things then it would be fanboy site which is no fun, if i wanted to see all pro ps3 things id go to playstation.com

lol, ridge racer was the best, but xbox 360 can't really laugh, lol. xbox 360 is only garbage, it's an evolution of the xbox, not a Revolution, I don't wanna buy an xbox 360, and the xbox 720 in 3 years, so I'll buy a ps3 ( ff13 is SOOO great ) and I'll buy a nintendo wii, it's a little more then wii60, but wii sould own a ps3, lol.



PS3 = too much good games+full media center :D:D too good to be true :D

XBOX 360 = I'm impressed, lot more than the xbox, but media center is lacking there

wii = cool, a ds for my home, WHATT?? only 250 box? I buy!



and ps: this news is ok, stop bashing it you fanboys ( I think I'm one too... but I don't stop liking other console only for it :D )

What people don't understand is that the PS3 is going to have greater and also worse graphics than the 360. It matters on the creater of the game. They can put a lackluster job on a game or make an awesome work of art. The Blu-Ray drive means longer loading times. DVD-9s only have 9 Gigs of memory but that's enough for almost all games. It has nothing to do with graphics. The price is just too much. 600 and 500 dollars. MAJOR hole in my wallet. Wii60 = PS3 because they stole most of Microsoft's and Nintendo's ideas. The guide button, the movement thing in the controller for just some examples. The system has too much stuff in it for most consumers. Would we want to use 7 controllers? Oh, and use 2 TVs? I remember a long time ago when we only could use one TV and 4 controllers. Oh, and now, there's online which Sony coppied off Microsoft. The interface looks almost identical to the 360's Marketplace. I also remember Sony saying that the Cell Processer will be almost 50 times better than the 360. Well apperently, it is just going over 4%. The 200 Teraflops, down to only 150. That minus the OS and some other stuff. Face it, Sony's going downhill.

# Funny?Guest 2006-05-23 13:07
This wasn't anywhere near as funny as the unedited, 2 hour conference that I stayed up late to watch live. I was REALLY jazzed about PS3 until I saw this conference. I want to like the PS3...but they showed nothing thatmakes me want to stand in line all night like I did for the PS2 launch. I've bought every Sony console on day one...that conference put the PS3 is on my "wait and see" list. I'm glad this was posted here and I hope Sony watches it. They need to get their act together before the dig their own grave.

That was the most stupiest video ive have ever seen. The person who made this has no life. They made something that wasnt even remotely funny. I would rather think of family guy episodes in my head then watch this crap. HAHA so funny. Lets think um no. That just shows how pathetic all the MS fanboys are. They need to make a movie about how the PS3 sucks. Yeah the conference sucked but that doesnt mean the system will suck. Your sad if you cant make $600 in three weeks. Its called stop masterbating to gay porn and get up and get a job for chirst sake. Im not a sony fanboy even though i sound like i am. Even though i havent bashed MS in anyways just there followers. I have had a 360 since midnight launch and im loving it but all these fanboys make me sick. One day there going to be an actual war of the consoles where everyone from MS, sony, and nintendo like have a war and kill each other. Whil you guys are doing that ill be playing all three systems. Cheers.

So lack of imagination, lack of talent on editing the conference. I can't see any funny on it.



PS : I have Xbox360, Ps2, and PSP.



I think this video is POSITIVE, to us to decide to buy a PS3. Not agains it. So, the guy who made it it's a kind of idiot. Becouse the video is like a big sony AD, showing many of the Ps3 capabilities... Sorry.

Umm i liked parts like "Ridge racer!!!" lol but... for the most part I thought it was pointless and not funny. Someone simply slapped the crap parts of Sony's E3 presentation and cut it into something to bash them... they forgot to add the videos of games that people actually care about and actually look good (cmon does anyone give a rats ass about genji 2?). I supose if I took every last bit of 360 themed footage and cut it up to my liking I too could make a video to bash Microsoft.

Just because it makes Sony look bad, can it still be funny?

Just because it takes some statements out of context, can it still be funny?



YES! It can.



I have no "affiliation" or whatever. I currently own an Xbox 360 and I don't think its a good investment to purchase the PS3 (espeically as I purchased the Xbox 360 first).



I can disagree with some of the points in the movie, and still find it funny.



Also, I don't understand newpeak very well. I'm used to English.

whatever captain insane0, or captain jackass, watever the ***** ur name is. I understand. It's just that I dont see the bloggers from QJ bashing X360 or Wii. The Wii is cool, scratch what i said about the controller, but the frigging 360 is just, so, how do I say this, Xbox 1.5. There isn't really anything spectacular or cool that I've never seen before. Say what u want about ps3, but PS3 is next generation. The next-gen is all about sociablilitie. Online which Xbox serves greatfully, but that comes with a cost. So what, Sony may be copying off of MS, but they are not charging annually. I'm just saying, Xbox 360 owners end up paying as much as PS3. PS3 has everything for 600. Wit xbox 360, u need the extras (Turd pack).



FOR EXAMPLE



XBOX 360 CORE - NO HDD, Xbox live silver, DVD (for now)



PS3 (20 GB) - Upgradable 20 GB HDD, Playstation Hub, SHINY ASS HELL, BLu ray



XBOX PREMIUM - 20 GB HD, Little Chrome, DVD (for now) Xbox live silver

anyone can take a video and edit it so it makes the other person look bad. What will actually be funny is when the PS3 comes out and is the market share leader and you Xbox fanboys get down on your knees. (and thats not so you can pray). Whoever posted this "article" (if thats what you can even call it) should get a life and learn what a NEWS site is.

Everyone really needs to just back off the PS3 and its pricing. I have only one thing to say about the price of the PS3. Look at PC gaming, how much do video cards run for? How much does a really good gaming PC cost? 3 times more than a PS3!!!! Has the price of those PC's or video cards stopped the success of PC gaming? I think not. So why would it stop Sony.



Plus, everyone who is bashing the PS3 would buy one if they had the spare money to do so, so just shut the hell up and stick with your Wii60.



I think its great that the two companies are trying to take on Sony as a team. When Sony comes out on top it will show just how strong they and their fanbase really is.

# umm...Guest 2006-05-23 15:28
that really wasn't funny. the "Ridge Racer" part was nice, the crab in "real japanese battles" was funny, but the rest was lame. i blame the poor editing. regardless of "Sony bashing" (and i'm a huge supporter of Sony in some ways), the video just wasn't good. if edited properly, it could have been friggin hilarious. unfortunately, it fell far short of gutbusting, and was more of a "i chuckled a little inside" sort of thing.



I could care less about the Sony bashing, however, as, I was at E3, I played the games, I saw Blu Ray in action, and I was highly impressed. the less people I have crowding me come launch day, the better. I'm also picking up a Wii whenever that launches, and a 360 when games like Crackdown and possibly Too Human and Mass Effect come out.

Prior to Sony's pre-E3 media conference early last week, it was more or less impossible to bring up the future of the PlayStation 3 without launching into a debate on the subject of price point. After months, if not years, of rumors suggesting the console would not ship for less than a king's ransom, no journalist or fan could say a word about the PS3 without a careful mention that if Sony wasn't willing to sell the system at huge loss, the console was doomed. Last week at their pre-E3 media-conference, Sony finally dropped the proverbial bomb, announcing two PS3 models, differentiated by $100 in price but potentially far more in capabilities.



In word, Sony downplayed the disparity between the $499 and $599 PS3 versions, citing the primary difference between the consoles at the time of the announcement as the difference in built-in hard drive space, namely 20 GB for the low-end and 60 GB for the high-end. Within minutes, however, journalists homed in on a variety of factors that placed the lower-end PS3 into contention for the dreaded "tard-box" classification of crippled-console.



Not only does the $499 PS3 lack built-in support for Wi-Fi broadband and SD and Compact Flash memory cards, but rather shockingly, the machine does not possess HDMI output. Rumors spread like wild fire that the $499 machine was also missing Bluetooth support for wireless controllers, spreading fury among fans and detractors alike.



A week after the announcement, Sony representatives have gone on record with the press, officially clarifying that the $499 console will support Bluetooth and that Wi-Fi adapters and flash-memory reader add-ons will be made available for the console. The hard-drive will also be upgradeable, as Phil Harrison, long time SCEA heavyweight, told GI.biz, "You can upgrade to whatever size of drive you like. You can put in any drive that you like—it is a computer, after all."



Calming though such statements are, what may prove truly calamitous for the budget-model PS3 is its lack of support for HDMI. On the surface, the lack of such a feature does not spell immediate disaster, as HDMI is merely a high-end video-cable that couples digital image signals with digital sound, essentially equivalent to a DVI and optical audio connection combination. The $499 PS3 model will be able to transmit games in full 1080p High-Definition via component cables without a problem, and far more surround sound receiver-amplifiers support optical-audio than HDMI.



Where the pain will set in, however, is when Blu-ray movies begin making use of HDCP/AACS copy-protection and the infamous "Image-Constraint-Token" (ICP). At the demand of the major Hollywood studios, both HD-DVD and Blu-ray standards have been developed to support this next-generation copy-protection scheme that protects Hi-Def movies from piracy and illegal digital distribution. While AACS is more or less innocuous from the standpoint of a general consumer, HDCP is destined to rain frustration and disappointment upon the masses, or at least those who purchase the $499 PS3 package.



The HDCP system is the means by which each piece of hardware involved in transmitting a High-Def movie signal, from player, to wire, to amplifier, to HDTV or computer monitor, checks for support and protection from hacking and piracy before passing the signal along the chain. Each device must have a specially programmed HDCP chip, and any link in the chain that lacks such protection will cause the entire system to fail, causing movies encoded in 1080p Hi-Def to down-convert to 540p, by means of what is known as the "Image Constraint Token" capability of AACS/HDCP copy-protection scheme.



The crux of the $499 PlayStation 3's problem is the fact that HDCP copy-protection only supports digital connections, namely HDMI. Cutting straight to the chase, the $499 PS3 will not be able to play Blu-ray movies in 1080p High-Definition the moment Blu-ray DVDs begin implementing ICP. Though most studios have agreed to a one or two year grace period in which the Image Constraint Token will not

# This got out of hand...Guest 2006-05-23 18:27
Like srrsly. Anyway, I think we all get it, this is the crutch for x360 and Wii fan boys to rally against the PS3 for the faulty presentation...Though we all know the presentation was roughly one of the worst around...I think some of us are missing that this does not (in any way) represent the PS3's true capabilitys, am I wrong that the PS3 hasn't even been fully fleshed of it's (almost) unlimited capabilities? Well, the conference did have its funny moments...But I'm guessing the guy who whipped it up took at least 30 minutes of his day to do so.



What I'm saying is...Let's try to keep stuff positive, not just for the PS3...But for the Wii, for X360, for PS3, and mostly for the people who go to this site.

# Why the 360 sucksGuest 2006-05-24 04:22
I can name sevral reasons why the 360 sucks here are a few:



1. It doen't have any next generation technology, just a hd output.



2. The external HD-DVD drive will most likely cost $100, making it run at about the same price as a PS3.



3. I have yet to see a game that would warrant me paying $400 for a 360. PS3 has MSG4 and FFXIII.

# you guys should calm reallyGuest 2006-05-24 05:51
@22: Seriously, 9 GB may be enough for now. But keep in mind that in 4-5 years, devs gonna need that space.

And about Sony copy MS xbox live. Omg lol. When plz WHEN will ppl notice that M$ ripps you off and charges 5$ a month for a service that should be free. Free as it is for PC's since ... 10 years or more? Did M$ copy PC? Yes!



@57: I totally agree to you



@72: You say the PS3 sucks because the budget-version (499$) does not have HDMI out and is possible not capable of running HDCP protected content. Well, think about same rule goes for 360.



@80: Who cares if a PS3 - dev system freezes 6 months prior to its launch??? The 360 freezed after its release, even worse! *hustle* google for "36 crash"



@all: geez. ppl really should calm down. Its 6 months before launch and sony has already a running system. wow. ms was as same stage at theyr launch

What do you mean what does the PSP have to do with the PS3 though? They are just showing the connectivity PSP can have with the PS3. If you have seen the whole Sony Conference, where showed the racing game where you can use the PSP as rear view miror while playing the game on the PS3, then you would know the reason for it being there! Whoo! Breathe!

Instead of this 5 minute long video, you should've just posted the 1 minute video which is twice as amusing as this one. Honestly, the only funny parts were when Kaz goes, "Riiiiiiiiidge Racer" and "Large Enemy Crab... You attack its weak point for massive damage".

# Its not the ps3 people should be againstDeletegmc 2006-05-24 07:18
In my own personal opinion i think the ps3 will be a great console with great games and that video does not make me want a ps3 any less, it makes me think genji 2 is crap and kaz hirai is useless and they should bring in someone competent. Also why do people bash other consoles why does the video game market have the fanboys that bash each other, Why not love the consoles you own and respect peoples opinions on their system

I totally agree with you. Did the poster see the end of the movie? It's clear that this movie was made by some stupid MS fanboys. They just dont want to accept that de PS3's hardware is more powerfull than a 360...

# # 97 your are moronGuest 2006-05-24 09:26
it doesn't matter who comes out with the THE most powerful hardware... it's the software that runs on it matter the MOST. Right now... Sony has the most and best software for their console.. and Microsoft might just get some in future.. U see if there were NO HALO, then XBOX would be like Dreamcast back in the day.. so yeah it all depends on the combo of soft and hardware.

It is very bad idea to post things like this video.

There are tons of funny video sites on the internet.

I don`t care what is funny to You (dear post maker).

Give me NEWS about PS3. Not every crap and garbage.



I`m not a fanboy. I saw Sony conference. I have my own opinion about it, BUT I`m not gonna share it with everyone, because it puts nothing into this topic.



I`m writing comments once per year.

I hope it will help you imagine how big mistake you`ve made.

This website should pretty much be shut down, or just turn into a new website for wii60. All that this website is for, is for bashing the ps3 n e more, give good news, or should i say, any news at all. This website hasnt posted anything that hasnt bashed the ps3 for a long time. Get your poop in a pile and start doing the good news, or just go right for other websites that support the wii or 360 or both!

# Negative? Where!?!Guest 2006-05-24 12:45
What was the problem with that video? The only thing bad about the PS3 I saw in that video was the price. I don't care about what kind foolish advertising the company uses (all VG commericals suck, anyway); I don't care about how dumb another Dynasty Warriors knockoff looks; I don't care how much of a dumbass people look when playing the game. As of now, I'm only worried about three things--Is the hardware going to be reliable, is SquareEnix and Kojima going to stay with Sony, and what I'm going to have to cut out of my budget in order to put $600 back.



Let the fanboys have their rants. They just have a lot of time to waste because they only have one console to play.

That said, the piece of ***** still has nothing more useful to offer than the PS2 did. Maybe a more flimsy design? Or maybe a case that won't fall apart after 3 months exclusively for the 60 gb set?

# this is nonsense..Guest 2006-05-24 23:19
this video is cleary from 360 maniac..... and why encouraging people for 360+wii? why not ps3+wii? also 360+20GB HDD+720P res = 400$(whcih is not the actual price in the market) + HD DVD external player = 500$....

while ps3+20GB HDD+1080p res(for gaming)+BD built in = 500$...

i think ps3 is a better deal and also 360 is good, so please don't be folish saying "dont bay ps3" because it is your opinion......

" Your sad if you cant make $600 in three weeks. Its called stop masterbating to gay porn and get up and get a job for chirst sake."

-Killfox,

#36



YOU'RE sad for several other reasons. First off, you can't use the English Language properly. "Your" stupid? "YOUR"? Jesus. Prat. Go back to school, you pathetic waste of space.

Secondly, I agree on the front that it isn't difficult to earn $600 in a week. But you'll realise when you finally grow up that people lave to pay bills for Gas, Water and Electricity, they have to buy food and liquid, they have to pay tax, and they keep having to pay for petrol. Take all that away from say, $600, and you're left with about $150. Make that $50 if you have kids.

Third, stop being a hypocrite. You may like certain things. That, however, doesn't mean others do. Some people may like male pornography, notably women. Some men may like it too. Big deal. What annoys me is the fact that you mask your liking of it with childish, abusive comments, such comments a two year old would feel ashamed to say.



Grow up, and come ack when you have something constructive and mature to say. Retard.

if you dont like the video, dont watch it..
