Every self respecting geek will be keeping at least one eye on Germany next week as gamers, retailers and exhibitors descend on Cologne for the first Gamescom trade show. Major-ish announcements seem likely across the board. The general consensus seems to be that Sony will unveil a long-expected slimline version of the Playstation 3, as well as a European video-on-demand store. Microsoft could take the wind out of Sony’s sails however, if they slash the price of the Xbox 360 Elite model to $299.
Away from the console manufacturers, Lionhead has been doing a spot of Twitter teasing and Tony Hawk will be demoing Tony Hawk: Ride.
