LOS ANGELES, June 2 -- Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (SCEA) today revealed an unrivaled line up of software for PLAYSTATION3 (PS3), PSP (PlayStationPortable), and PlayStationNetwork during a press event to kick off the annual E3 Media & Business Summit 2009.
In addition to revealing new content for over 25 highly anticipated first-party software titles that are only available on PlayStation platforms, attendees caught a glimpse at never before seen PS3 system titles MODNATIONRACERS and GRAN TURISMO 5; and GRAN TURISMO for the PSP system for the portable gamer. An extensive demonstration of UNCHARTED 2: AMONG THIEVES single player mode opened the show with an illustration of the high quality production values used for the game and demonstrated the power of the PS3 system. For the first time, the audience experienced an on-stage battle of 256 players in MAG, a feat never before accomplished on the home console.

The PS3 system titles showcased on SCEA's show floor during E3 2009 include Sony's epic tale of brutal Greek mythology GOD OF WAR III ; WHITE KNIGHT CHRONICLES the newest RPG from Level-5; the time bending and intergalactic mayhem from the multi-million unit selling RATCHET & CLANK franchise, RATCHET & CLANK FUTURE: A CRACK IN TIME; the dark and sophisticated thriller from Quantic Dream, HEAVY RAIN, UNCHARTED 2: AMONG THIEVES brings famed fortune hunter Nathan Drake back for his next adventure since UNCHARTED: DRAKE'S FORTUNE; and MAG, an online multiplayer military shooter with 256 real players in a global battlefield.

Emerging as the premiere console for user generated content, SCEA announced an exclusive deal with Disney Interactive Studios to create downloadable content for the award winning LITTLEBIGPLANET based on its hit franchises. The next title leveraging user generated content on the PS3 system, MODNATION RACERS, was unveiled with an onstage demonstration.

PlayStation Network demonstrated even more innovation in its upcoming roster of titles, including the recently announced TRASH PANIC, a quirky garbage-based puzzle game featuring realistic physics, and the newest endeavor in the PIXELJUNK series, PIXELJUNKSHOOTER. A gravity-based shooter called GRAVITY CRASH also debuted, along with HUSTLE KINGS, a photorealistic billiards simulator. Attendees saw more of detuned, a user-driven musical visualizer and the highly anticipated 32-player medieval capture the flag inspired FAT PRINCESS.
