I know those of you who are attending PAX are seriously competitive gamers. We’re bringing that competition to the PlayStation Booth (#914) this year, so I wanted to give you readers times when you’ll be able to throw-down against your fellow attendees.

For the first time ever, you’ll be able to get your hands on Resistance 2 multiplayer. We’re going to have a number of kiosks for you to jump on anytime and blast away your opponents with a slew of unique weapons in gorgeous environments.

Experience the intense and authentic high definition modern combat action of SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation in the booth Friday and Saturday/Sunday afternoons.

If racing is more your style, stop by on Friday evening or during Saturday and Sunday mornings to check out Motorstorm: Pacific Rift.

For those of you who like to take your gaming on the go, we’re going to have Resistance: Retribution on hand with its unique targeting system developed especially for PSP; alongside other PSP titles like BUZZ! Master Quiz.

Get discovered in Seattle with your talent or your brains (or both), with SingStar and BUZZ! Quiz TV taking over the main stage. Between sets of singing and trivia excitement, we’ll let you rest with onstage demonstrations of inFamous and level building with LittleBigPlanet.

While most of these games will be continuously playable throughout the three days, we’ll be holding tournaments at the times below to win PlayStation goodies.

Calling all adrenaline junkies! The ESPN X Games is hitting Los Angeles tomorrow through Sunday, August 3 — and for those that are on the fence about attending, we’ve sweetened the pot with some pulse pounding opportunities to show off your gaming skills at designated PlayStation areas.

Here are a few of the PlayStation activities you don’t want to miss:

• PlayStation Experience Truck: on hand at the XFest at the Home Depot Center, we will be offering jam-packed interactive and hands-on social gaming and competition areas, including access to some of this year’s most-anticipated titles prior to their general availability like Little Big Planet, and fan favorites like Rock Band (Take the Stage) and SingStar (Show Us Your Vocals).
• “Play the Pros” competition with Tanner Foust: on Friday, August 1 on the PlayStation Experience Truck, you might have the chance to go head-to-head against former rally racing X Games champion, Tanner Foust, on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, the fifth installment of the world’s best-selling racing franchise and intense precursor to Gran Turismo 5. One catch, you’ll have to compete on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue earlier in the day and make it into the top five ranking to compete with Tanner and win bragging rights.
• You may also be the first to watch yourself play MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, the intense racing sequel to MotorStorm, on the STAPLES jumbotron on Friday, August 1.
• PSP Zones: located at the XFest at the Home Depot Center will offer gameplay opportunities (including Internet Radio and remote play) on titles like Secret Agent Clank, MLB 08 The Show, and Hot Shots Golf Open Tee 2, and entry into a sweepstakes for the “PSP Frequent Gamer” for a chance to win a prize pack including a new PSP and games.
