The PlayStation conference is still scheduled for February and will take place in Japan. Expect more details on the PS3 launch (Spring 2006 for Japan, for sure, or an exact date, very likely). There will be playable games and a shortlist of the games that will make the launch window.

The PS3 Developer's conference will take place in London and will be more developer-oriented.

I misread the title as DevaStation.

Man, this event is going to be the main thing.
All things PS3 for the developer.

Do I hear the chanting of *DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS* etc. etc. etc.

Though I couldn't imagine somebody else taking the place of Ballmer.

I WONDER IF IT'S EA! O MAN I BET IT'S EA!

"Guest" independent developer my ass, EA is the only company that has enough money to throw at very early PS3 development.

This is a developer only event. Anyone who is going is going to either have to sign new NDAs or still be under an NDA. Don't count on any info coming from this event. Sony has done this a couple times before (in Nov 04 for the PSP, most recently) and its likely people never heard about it, because its for developers.

The feb event is the important one.
