Sony's top brass are in China right now – you may have spotted Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida tweeting from his Shanghai hotel room. That's because the manufacturer's planning to hold a press conference regarding the future of PlayStation in the potentially lucrative nation imminently – and while we've opted against the usual live blog for this one, we figured that we'd at least tell you where you can watch it.
But first, the disclaimers: there's absolutely no guarantee that there'll be anything of interest to a Western audience during this briefing. More likely is that the Japanese giant will show a bunch of games which are in the process of being localised. As such, you absolutely shouldn't get your hopes up. We'll, of course, share any headlines should they emerge – but go into this expecting E3-esque announcements, and you're setting yourself up for extreme disappointment.
That said, if you want to watch the show, you'll be able to catch it live through here. Things are set to kick off at 08:00AM BST (03:00AM EDT/00:00AM PDT). If you don't fancy staying up late (or getting up early), then check back here and we'll bring you all of the news that matters.

So....Anything happen yet? I want to know what localised games are 'officially' launching with the PS4.
@DVS There's lots of games officially released in Chinese, but they were only available in Hong Kong. To release many of these games in mainland China, many will have to be censored/edited unless the government says they are OK to go already. That's just the way it is. People are already buying the Hong Kong editions but on their own risk. Import an illegal game and they may fine you and take your console and all your games for it.
@Riririn That's what I mean by 'officially'. I'm curious to know what the Chinese government has actually approved. I expect FIFA to be on that list.
That greasy slick on the pictured controller's touchpad makes me a little bit sick.
@Batman Dat thumbprint.
@get2sammyb gags
@Riririn It's not 10 years ago where you had to buy a import disc from nearby region, you can buy whichever edition you want from Amazon US, digital download or other online outlets, and trust me there's absolutely zero chance you will get fined let alone taking away your console, people are way overlooking the actual impact of censorship in this country. The only thing you won't get is the official chinese version of the games like GTA, which most hardcore gamers have absolutely no interest to buy even if approved since almost certainly there will be heavy censorship.
