Those heading to E3 this year expecting the showfloor to be awash with PlayStation 3 hardware look set for disappointment, as information emerges pointing to a tightly-restricted hands-on debut for the new machine.
Over the last few weeks, SPOnG has heard from numerous sources within third-party publishers and at various developers, all of whom outlined that their product being readied for E3 would not be shown on Sony's stand. Furthermore, the availability of demo units to third-parties for inclusion in their own booths has not been outlined, leaving publishers and developers unsure as to what they will be able to show, even at this late stage.
"From what we have been hearing, the PlayStation 3 will be shown in a similar way to which the PSP was debuted at E3," one publishing source told SPOnG last week. "Attendees will be able to view the machine in a tightly-restricted environment. People thinking the floor will be awash with playable demo pods will be sore if they walk through the doors expecting to be able to sample a massive range of [PlayStation 3] software at leisure."

Well....I WAS expecting a PS2 price drop, but after this, I guess not. This bodes ill for Sony in an incredible number of ways, especially with Nintendo showing what will amount to everything.
I predict Huge Nintendo buzz coming off this E3.

I have PS2 and PSP, I've held off on getting an XBox 360 because A) its an M$ box, and B) I was waiting for the PS3. I know they have said PS3 will be released in November, but November seems very far away at the moment (maybe they mean November 2007??!!??!). I'm sure PS3 will be impressive when its released, but Sony are making the wait very hard work. And yes, I think Nintendo are going to rule E3 this year too.

According to the reports the PS3 is barely even close to being done. It's still about twice as big as the case it's supposed to fit in, and Sony hasn't even determined which parts are going into the final modal:

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?
