I have almost no expectations for either, but from what I have been seeing yes people are putting themselves up for extreme disappointment...

I just hope the Slim is real. I have a bunch of friends who are buying it as soon as it drops.

at TGS yes lol

but for now the only thing I personally want from gamescom are ps3 slim and/or GT5 release date and thats because sony has a 3 hour conference

GT5 official release date is all im asking for...(2009????)

Of COURSE!!! We do it for every game show!

After gamescon, PS3 will be selling 600K per week in Japan ALONE!

No.

THREE HOURS!

Yes and TGS won't change anything imo.

Doesn't Sony have a reputation for scheduling long press conferences then not delivering? Then again, Nintendo's showing at E3 this year wasn't exactly impressive, either, but still, three hours doesn't necessarily mean three hours of win.

That's a matter of opinion. The E3 conference was two hours. I say that delivered.

Well aslong as "E3" isn't in its name its bound to be awesome.
