You didn't miss much tai, I watched the entire thing and it's pretty much Sony saying how great they are for the first third, then Sony talking about how they plan to dominate the market with it's innovative ideas, etc, etc... Then we saw a presentation of Gran Turismo HD (reworked GT4 running on the PS3) which wasn't that great to be honest, but it did show off the PS3 running a true HD game live and uncompressed...
Then we got to see the EyeToy in action, which I thought was pretty nifty cause I kinda like the idea of the EyeToy, though the implementation of it is very difficult. We got to see what can only be described as a live Yu-Gi-Oh! type card battle with actual cards.
Then we got to see a PS1 game (Ridge Racer) downloaded into the PSP and played, we all knew about this awhile ago that Sony was gonna do this kinda thing, but I still found it aright, a very good idea we Nintendo fans wanted Nintendo to do with the DS but Sony beat them to it.
Mostly we saw a lot of videos of games to come out on the PS3, most of them looked gorgeous with beautifully done animation... but other than that what we were seeing were essentially PS2 games that look REALLY REALLY good. I might sound bias about that since I'm a Nintendo fan, but I am being very honest here. The games do look bloody great, but that's it.
Sony has also made it official, pretty much, that their online service is... an Xbox Live clone, pretty much right down to the letter.
Overall it was very underwhelming since I was expecting Sony to shock us all, they never did. Oh and also, the boomerang controller was nowhere to be seen, they were using wired Dual Shock 2's for their presentations.
OOOOOH SHIT! I COMPLETELY FORGOT!
Great looking realistic Gundam game for PS3. Yay for all those Gundam fans.
EDIT
Looks like my videofeed cut off near the end. Two major things I missed out, one of which REALLY pisses me off.
1. PS3 will come in two versions, 1 with a 20gig HD and another with a 60gig HD for 499USD and 599USD.
2. SONY COPIED NINTENDO. They've added motion detection into the PS3 controller, which incidentally looks exactly like the Dualshock and Dualshock 2.
This really pisses me off and clearly highlights why I hate Sony.
