PS3 Weekend Warrior - Image 1

Sony execs had a lot to say this week, with their statements running the gamut of emotions from frustration to confidence. The former was embodied by John Koller when he talked about how leaks undercut their E3 presentation while the latter came from new SCEE chief Andrew House, who thinks Wii owners will "upgrade" to a PS3.

The price cut rumor was again resurrected, but that's understandable since we didn't hear a peep at all from Sony about it during E3.

We didn't see a lot of big game-related news this week, but there's still meaty stuff nonetheless with updates for Gran Turismo 5 (not a release date, though), The Last Guardian, Uncharted 2 and LittleBigPlanet, just to name a few. But enough babbling. Let's get right down to the meat of this edition of the PS3 Weekend Warrior.
