Press priority



Spong are claiming that E3 will see limited access to the Playstation 3.

One publishing company told the gaming website that, "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."

Sony's Ryan Bowliing has reacted to the comments by saying that "We have always said that the PlayStation 3 will be playable at this year's E3 and that hasn't changed."

The limited access is said to be down to restrictions on demo units for third party publishers.

Sony have said that press will have no problem seeing the next-gen console. If you're not a member of press, you may possibly witness scenes similar to the PSP launch at E3, huge queues and many people not even catching a glimpse of the handheld.

HEXUS.gaming will be there, hoping to be at the front of the queue.
