SCEE has refused to confirm or deny rumours concerning announcements the company plans to make at next month's Leipzig Games Convention, promising "fireworks" will happen.

According to a report on MCV, Sony will reveal that video-on-demand services and Freeview TV features will be launched "across Europe and other export markets" by the end of the year.

The trade publication is also claiming that SCEE will announce a European price cut for PS3 - despite the introduction of a new "value-added" bundle earlier this week.

"Rumour and speculation", says Sharples.

SCEE boss David Reeves states that "There will be absolute fireworks at peak, that I can promise you. We will be doing things no-one has seen yet for both PS3 and PSP."

Excited? Will Sony deliver? What do you guys think?

Australian too hopefully, but I don't see them doing a value pack and a price drop. Hopefully they will though.

i think it will be significat but not as big as he claims. Sony also exaggerates things like this, but they have yet to let me down.

I wonder if they will announce a new sixaxis. Hirai said that when they do redesign the controller, it will have more than just rumble.

At Leipzig i see them announcing a PAL region price drop. And then at TGS they will announce a japan price drop.

Hopefully they have other big games announcements and other announcements in general at both shows.

I was thinking they'd keep that for TGS but I had forgotten about Leipzig...so maybe they do announce it then. I really hope it's announced/released soon before the major games for the PS3 arrive later this year.

I just listened to this week's Kojima Productions podcast, and Ryan said that video of the MGS4 gameplay demo will be released to the press before Leipzig :)

I'm curious what they'll show in the end.

Oh man, can't wait to go there. :D
