Sony's E3 Presentation (Rundown)

In case you missed Sony's E3 conference, here are the highlights.

The look of the PS4 console is revealed, showing a half plastic half matte finish with slanted edges.

For the Playstation 3, a Grand Theft Auto V bundle including the game, the PS3 console, and the Pulse Elite Headset will retail for $299 on September 17th.

Trailers for upcoming PS3 releases are shown: Gran Turismo 6, The Last of Us, Beyond: Two Souls, and Batman: Arkham Origins.

Gaikai, Playstation's Cloud system, is due to arrive in the US in 2014. Gaikai will allow PS3 and PS4 users to stream PS3 games. A version of this cloud computing is set for the Playstation Vita later.

The Playstation Vita is expanded. God of War 1 & 2 in HD, Flower, Dead Nation, and the complete The Walking Dead bundle are on their way. It also includes DLC for The Walking Dead called '400 Days'.

Japan Studio has a F2P title for the Vita coming soon called Destiny of Spirits.

Sony Music and Movies Unlimited will be available on PS4 Day One. Redbox and Flickster are coming to the PS3, with promises of being on the Vita and PS4 "very soon".

Sony has expanded their PS+ service. It is now required to play online with the PS4. It also brings all the deals and free games previously available on the PS3's Playstation Store, along with upcoming deals and sales. The service will cost $5 a month. This does not affect outside streaming services like Netflix or Hulu Plus, which are still free to access.

Good news for PS+ players, your subscription will carry over onto PS4. A PS+ edition of Driveclub will be available for PS+ members at PS4 launch day.

In a vague statement by Sony Pictures Entertainment President Michael Lynton, Sony is creating entertainment content exclusively for the Playstation 4.

Sony announced that the PS4 will not restrict games in any way. There will be no DRM, and no online check-in. Jack Tretton (the presenter) even took a moment to poke Microsoft in the ribs. This is one of the biggest reactions in this year's E3, likely ever, with the crowd reaction so strong. It's really something to see for yourself.  (Recent news is showing that all of Sony's first-party titles will not have DRM. However, they are leaving it up to the publisher to decide for third-party titles.)

New games shown include Ready at Dawn's The Order: 1886, what appears to be a steampunk styled action game where characters fight off some sort of monster.

Infamous: Second Son will be released Q1 2014.

Knack and Driveclub will both be PS4 launch titles.

PS4 shows off their love for indies and presented a list.

The Elder Scrolls: Online will have an exclusive Playstation 4 beta phase in Q2 2014.
