PlayStation at E3 2010

Take in the groundbreaking technology and titles lined up for PlayStation at E3 2010.

The videogames show E3 is home to some of the biggest announcements and unveilings of the year, and E3 2010 is capturing everyone's imagination with a stunning array of PlayStation experiences to take you into the second half of 2010 and beyond.

Stereoscopic 3D took its first steps into your home with the announcement that some of PlayStation's biggest series unveiled will be compatible with the exciting new technology that will have you looking at videogames in a new way. MotorStorm Apocalypse, Killzone 3, The Sly Raccoon Collection and Gran Turismo 5 are just a handful of the new titles coming your way in full stereoscopic 3D, with others to join in the shape of Crysis 2, Mortal Kombat 9, Shaun White Skateboarding and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, as well as Tron 2: Evolution The Game.

If you already have a 3D television, then you can experience the joys of 3D videogaming right now with the 3D Collection pack, available to download from PlayStation Store. Experience the delights of PAIN, Super Stardust HD, WipEout HD and a demo of MotorStorm Pacific Rift, all in stereoscopic 3D from the comfort of your own home. And movie buffs aren't left out either - you can expect stereoscopic 3D Blu-ray Disc movie support on PlayStation 3 later in 2010.

Also bringing a new experience to videogames is PlayStation Move, which was given a full showcase. Launching on 15 September 2010, the PlayStation Move motion controller and PlayStation Move navigation controller offer unparalleled precision and accuracy for games. With over 16 dedicated titles for PS Move on its launch day and 40 more to arrive in the following months, there's a selection of games for everyone to enjoy. From the competitive sports fun of Sports Champions and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11, to the action packed Time Crisis: Razing Storm and Toy Story 3: The Videogame, you'll be engaged with PlayStation Move for a long time to come.

Even without motion controls or stereoscopic 3D, the PlayStation games library was bumped by some massive titles. The curtain was fully lifted from titles such as Twisted Metal, inFamous 2, Killzone 3, Mortal Kombat 9 and Metal Gear Solid: Rising on PS3, while PSP gathered crowds from games such as Invizimals: Shadow Zone, EyePet, God of War: Ghost of Sparta and Patapon 3. Dozens of other titles are lined up for both systems, making PlayStation the place to be for rich and engaging gaming.

PlayStation Network got its day in the sun too, with the announcement of PlayStation Plus, a new subscription service offering you even more options for your content needs. With varying subscription packages, special features such as discounts, free games and more, PlayStation Plus enhances the way you look at PSN, made even more tempting with games like PixelJunk Shooter 2, Eat Them and Dead Nation on the horizon. With over 50 million registered accounts worldwide, are you part of one of the biggest networks in videogames yet? Now's the perfect time to jump on board.

E3 2010 is just the start for the future of PlayStation. Keep reading eu.playstation.com for more on the show floor.
