Okay, the Living Game Spaces thing could be pretty cool (it integrates HOME with maps and areas from certain games to hang out with other PSN folks).

If you can't beat em, copy em

PSN Video delivery (kinda like Xbox Live & PSN today).

TV shows: $1.99 episode

Movie rentals: $2.99 - $5.99 ea

Movie purchases: $9.99 - $14.99 ea

Big thing is that they are portable. You can download a show or movie and also put it on your PSP.

No mention of Blockbuster whatsoever.

The 360 will have TONS of more movies available.

Have they really not unveiled anything new?

I guess I should rephrase for the hecklers in the bunch. Have they not shown anything that was a suprise?

Nothing about HD movies though, GHEY!!

I am not watching it. From what was posted though it sure sounds like it was a big part of their opening speech.

11:44: GTA: SA came along in year 4. Shadow of the colossus in year 5, God of War 2 in year 7. Interesting that they mentioned Ico along with FFX and GTA. Not exactly a big seller (although it's one of our favorite games ever). IBM is actually using the CEll processor to power its newest supercomputer .he's mentioning FOlding@home numbers

11:46: "If we stopped to ask consumers if they needed all this horsepower, they may have said no." He recalls Henry Ford's quote, "If I asked my customers what htey wanted, they'd have said a faster horse. Games like MGS4 aren't just exclusive to the Playstatin 3, they're only possible on the PlayStation 3"

11:47: Games like MGS4 on PS3 is a good reminder of what it means to have exclusive content

yes, but if you were watching it, you'd see that they only brought it up 2 to 3 times within a 2 minute span

just like the live feed you provided

That is pretty weak. Considering the 360 can already do it and with the power of the PS3.

So what have we learned that we didn't really know before?

Nope. YAWN!

They did say that many movies/shows would be available for download in either Standard or HD.

Wish I was coming up Thursday to hang out with you guys

 

[Sick Boy 82]

Nothing, other than new content for GTP. Mhee...

My point wasn't the length of time they spent on it but the fact that they even went back to it in the first place. I thought it was kinda lame. It's like did you see what one game studio managed to pull off? In my eyes thats lame. I want to see what other studios are working on and about to pull off. Given the speech from what I was able to read it sounds like not much. E3 is to show what you got loaded in the barrel. Not what you managed to fire off in the past.

 

[IrishJedi]

New PSN video service starts TONIGHT.

 

[Sick Boy 82]

Actually, I was wrong. Clverfield HD "RENTAL", but no buys in HD.

they opened the microsoft speech the same way...

My point is they then backed it up with new stuff. Nevermind I could sit her and give you more reasons why I think it was lame but at the end of the day it is obvious that people just want to give me ^^^^ for sharing my opinion. Which is equally as lame as Sony's apparent press conference.
