It has been confirmed with several sources now, including members of the press, developers and publishers, that on March 15th in Japan, a PlayStation 3 event will be held. The event is expected to begin a torrent of information that will lead up right to the E3 in May. We know of a few items and things which should be announced for sure, but the extent of the overall unveiling is still undetermined. It is supposedly not open to the general press, but various announcements will be made. The E3 is where all the real action will take place.

Within the next month or two there will also be the PlayStation 3 Devstation event and Game Developers Conference. Not much of anything will likely be publicly announced during Devstation, but the GDC is a different story. More and more companies have been making announcements during the event, and Sony's Phil Harrison will be hosting a keynote centered around the PS3.

Stay tuned!
