  • EyePet from Sony London revealed.
  • Heavy Rain is shown - David Cage of Quantic Dream is even on stage.  From IGN:

    "He's here to talk about Heavy Rain today. Key points: This will be mature/serious content. It's going to be accessible. It's going to be an emotional experience (moral choices and the like, the player will be playing the story).

    It will be story driven and your decisions have consequences. These are some of the same themes that Cage went over during my meeting with him prior to the press conference. Make sure to check out my Eyes-on, readers! It's good stuff."
  • Showing gameplay.  More from IGN:
  • "These are scenes from the Origami Killer demonstration we received previously. Very intense contextual gameplay with an extremely vivid emotional touch. Heavy Rain 2009 ends the trailer."
  • SingStar Turkish Party announced exclusive to Germany.
  • Over 50 levels to come with LBP.
