Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) today announced it will host a live stream of its E3 Expo 2011 press conference in a special screening room within PlayStation Home on June 6 at 5 p.m. PT. The press conference, which will be the first ever live streaming press event in PlayStation Home, will show Jack Tretton, President and CEO of SCEA, on stage as he unveils exclusive, never-before-seen footage of new titles across Sony Computer Entertainment's suite of platforms and reveals all of the major announcements the company will make at the E3 expo, taking place June 6 through 9 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Additionally, PlayStation Network will once again offer gamers an inside look into E3 directly from their PlayStation 3 systems via its virtual E3 booth featured in PlayStation Home. In 2010, five times more people visited PlayStation Home's E3 virtual booth than the entirety of the show at the LA Convention Center. At the start of the show on Tuesday, June 7 at 12 p.m. PT, when users login to PlayStation Home, they will be invited to visit the virtual booth. Once inside, users will be able to tour a detailed replica of PlayStation's E3 booth earning exclusive virtual items at each area as they check out the content showcased on the show floor, including a 3D render of PlayStation's Next Generation Portable (NGP).
Once their tour is complete and all virtual items have been unlocked, users will be awarded access to the upstairs VIP area that will showcase specific PlayStation Home content, including the first level of the never-before-seen upcoming Scribble Shooter game as well as a virtual item package that features companions, furniture and ornaments. Additionally, the PlayStation.Blog team will be live streaming game demos and developer interviews direct from show floor throughout the expo, giving gamers an opportunity to check out all the great content at the E3 Expo this year.

This gives all of us a chance to not only experience the thrills and absolute wonders that is the E3 Expo, but also a chance to get some free limited time goodies from Playstation Home. We'll also be seeing a 3D render of the Sony NGP, or revealed to possibly be called "Playstation Vita" (Playstation Life) and some demos and trailers for upcoming PS3 games.
It will be interesting to see how this event turns out, as this could help Sony start reversing the numbers of PSN users lost during the month-long PSN downtime after multiple DDoS attacks across the Sony network. If it goes wrong however, it could have an adverse effect, pushing users away.

Good post.
I'm excited for E3, and while it's good that they're offering it through Home, it still isn't enough to get me involved in Home. It's never appealed to me. Maybe I'll give it another go someday, but back when I used it, it basically consisted of male avatars stalking all of the female avatars...
