Will SOE/PS2 be at PAX Prime?

Just wondering if anyone's heard anything about this. PAX Prime is supposed to be showcasing a LOT of games (including Skyrim, which is going to rock unfathomably hard). Any word about Planetside 2 being there? Or SOE in general? PAX Prime will be Aug 28th and 29th, I believe.

In the schedule for PAX it says:

PC Gamer Presents: The PC in 2011 and 2012
Unicorn Theatre
Friday 12:30pm - 1:30pm
We did a crazy thing. We got tired of the world's most popular gaming platform not having a formal presence at gaming conventions. So we did something about it. For one special hour, we've gathered PC gaming's best minds and producers and "Voltroned" them together into a giant presentation-giving robot of unlimited power.

Rally up as we roll out the red carpet for the platform with the most fans (see what we did there?) and reveal unannounced secret projects, and exhibit world-first live demos from EA, Guild Wars 2, Minecraft, GOG.com, Sony Online, and still more. Hosted by the team that's been yelling about PC gaming for 15 years, PC Gamer.

So either they're "reveal[ing] unannounced secret projects" or "exhibit world-first live demos". I'm hoping the latter.

Hrmm. Interesting. Well, it will certainly be worth a look. Honestly, I didn't expect that there would be any playable demo of Planetside 2 just yet, but hey, it would be fantastic to be surprised!

I seriously don't know. I think it would be like going to heaven, I can't explain it and I have no clue what it will be like but I know that when it happens....I'll be trippin bawlz.

if they wantet to show a demo or new trailer, they would have done at gamescon, no?#

I think we have to wait for christmas until we see any real new infos.

also consider that battlefield 3 and diablo 3 are just around the corner so not also they want to finish the game asap but also they need to find a good timing to relase it.

I wont play bf3 but d3 will keep me up a bit for sure

I'm sure they will be at every Con from here until the game release answering questions and doing interviews. Here's to hoping PCGamer has something sweet on tap.

Not really no, it's probably more cost effective to do it in the US.

I've been checking the PAX sponsor list and "Sony" is on it, but not "Sony Online Entertainment" - we'll know for sure in 5 days. I skimmed over the event list and missed the one Sirisian posted. PAX usually has demos in the expo hall, but not always.
