Typical Sony – by the time they start talking about new tactics for 2009, it’ll almost be 2010 already!

I hope this speech’s subtitle will be: “Why do you moan so much Japan? We need to shake shit up!”

I think there is a major hint in that title.
If it doesnt show in Cologne, I reckon they’ll show the PS3 Slim and a price cut there.

Maybe it’s about addressing the fall of 09, since it will just have started.
With 3 horus though, you’d have to assume it will be in Cologne… With GT5 (I can dream). And The Last Guardian at TGS… I am just too excited, it’s disgusting.

“Bow to your true god!”
Actually, that sounds like it would fit right into a Sony keynote.

@Psychotext – “He’s going to announce Ridge Racer.”
lmao – I thought the same thing before I saw your post and cracked up when i saw your comment.
Hilarious….
The 2nd thing I thought was if he was going to report how things were going against the Xbox 1.5
