The show floor opened up to E3 2011 attendees today. Among the horde of anxious and sweaty people are tons of unreleased games. It’s really hard to wrap your head around the number of playable titles there are during an E3 event. While everyone scrambles about in the convention center, Sony created a virtual version of its E3 floor space in PlayStation Home for everyone else. That space has also opened up to everyone and it contains some goodies for those who spend a little time there.

Microsoft needs your help. The company is trying to improve the Xbox Live experience, but it needs data from its loyal customers to make that happen. That’s why it has started a program called Xbox Live Labs. This program is open to any Xbox Live member in the United States. It will basically test your network connection from the Xbox 360 to Xbox Live. You don’t have to participate, but you’ll get some neat rewards if you do.

Starting today, you can begin to earn rewards for just doing what your normally do on Xbox Live. Microsoft will soon launch its Xbox Live Rewards program which will be available for US and UK regions. All you have to do is sign up, and start racking up the points.

Well lets take our minds off that issue for a second and talk about a new promotion Sony Computer Entertainment of Europe is having called PSPgo Rewards.

PSPgo Rewards is Sony’s way of easing us into the digital download only process the PSPgo will offer. It’s offering three free downloadable games from a list of 17 available titles that includes Wipeout Pure, echochrome, Killzone: Liberation and Patapon .

Club Nintendo sent out an email today (July 14, 2009) announcing the free reward for Elite Status members.

There are also more personal spaces available including a Club House and Ghostbusters Firehouse space with free items, a Hamster Dance Marathon, new games, updates to EA’s Sports Complex and we visit the end of Xi: The Hub.

North American Nintendo fans got a real treat last month when Nintendo announced that they would finally be bringing over what the rest of the world already got to enjoy, Club Nintendo.

The Club allows customers to gain rewards for purchasing Nintendo products. In return for spending real world cash, club members will gain points or stars to redeem for actual items or even Wii and (soon) DS points.
