Five hours is a bit over kill. I hope Sony do less talking and show more exclusive games.

I'm sure they have the games to show and future games to back up all those hours. Who knows they might even give out free beers, food and lots of booth babes

This gotta be a Joke right? Sonys press conferences are always the most boring imo, last year i would have turned it off if it wasn't for Kevin Buttler? 5 hours? No way i am watching that shit. Longer isn't better, 1 hours 30 minutes is enough, we don't really care about your PS3 and PSP commercials we will see them on TV, last year they had 2 add campaigns in the mix, like we give a damn.

An E3 conference lasting 5 hours sounds incredibly epic. I live in the UK so that has killed my chances of watching it live, especially considering I have school in the morning. If it starts from 1am then I wouldn't get any sleep by the time it finishes!

Imagine if SONY did something right for once, imagine if SONY's E3 2011 was the best E3 ever.

The actual press conference will take up 90 minutes, while the remaining time will be a "special event immediately following", assumed to be preview event or party for attendees.

shorter than last year then? (it was 2 hours right? :S can't remember) either way good info..should be added to OP

Oh thank god! That means they've shortened the actual presentation, which they desperately needed to do too. There was way too much fluff in last year's conference.

Well if they do that numbers game crap then this conference is going to be just bad.

Numbers I can deal with, my problem last year were all those montages!

Christina Aguilera confirmed, and stills keeps getting better!!! more precise controls??, 3 hours gameplay confirmed!!
