This past week the PlayStation Digital Platforms Community team attended E3 down in Los Angeles. This was also this third year we built out a virtual E3 booth, literally matching schematics as tightly as possible to the real deal, and bringing the community the sort of experiences you would have if you were lucky enough to get entrance to the real expo.

The best part about the virtual E3 booth—no lines! Some games and experiences at the real E3 require waiting quite a while to get in.

We would like to share some pics from the real E3 booth, so you can take a further glimpse into the excitement that is E3. Due to popular demand, we are extending the virtual E3 booth one more week. So if you didn’t get a chance to check it out, you have a little more time. But once it’s gone, it’s gone for the year.

We bumped into our buddy, writer and director of Platinum’d, Brandon Winfrey.

Teammate Paul Sullivan got to meet superbabe, er… supermodel Brooklyn Decker who visited us in the PSN area.

Aside from all the excitement, to understand E3 is to attend E3. In the industry, there is a camaraderie that forms over time, from within your own company, to friends who might work in others. It’s a relatively small industry, so at events like E3, it feels like a family reunion. There are so many people you know and love, all coming together to work hard (during the day) and play hard (at night). There are many celebrations over dinner and drinks, but it all comes back to the genuine friendliness this industry innately has. You see, this industry purely exists to bring joy and happiness to people’s lives. In that way, we get to make the world a better place—all while connecting gamers to each other to form communities over similar interests. Through all this, I am very proud to work for at PlayStation.

Enough gushy insider gossip—you want to know what’s coming this week in Home!

As mentioned above, due to popular demand, the virtual E3 booth will be extended one more week, so if you haven’t run through all Christina Lee’s quests, visited all the kiosks and collected all your rewards, do so quickly. If you haven’t picked up your limited edition Booth Babe and Beefcake outfits from Lockwood, gotten your free Warrior Starter Pack from playing the Mercia: Fractured Realms Demo in the virtual E3 booth or picked up your solid gold Mechjet, a golden Sodium Companion and Kiburi the White Lion do so ASAP. When the virtual E3 booth goes away this year, so do these limited-time exclusives.
