- Oh snap, moving on to the movie download service. Day 1 major studios: Sony, Fox, MGM, Lionsgate, Warner, Disney, Paramount, Turner and Funimation, Warner Bros. Nice.

- Back to PS3. This is where the megatons have to be. Record footage in-game and upload it to Youtube. Talking about Life With Playstation, available by the end of the month.
- Sony Online Entertainment preview of DC Universe Online. There's some retard doing push ups. Wtf. He's going on about Everquest. Its boring. Showing the game now. Oh wow, the art style is pretty awful. Animation sucks.
- Starting in September 80 GB PS3 will launch that has the same functionality as the 40GB but at the SAME PRICE/$399. Niiiice.
- Some stupid video reel is playing showing developers promoting the cell processor and blu-ray on PS3. Talking about how they're just getting to the point where PS3 games don't suck. Basically Sony gave all these guys moneyhats to say all this stuff.
- Video reel of PS3 line-up for 08: LBP, Motorstorm 2, MGS4 (Already out why are they pimping this?), Quantum of Solace, Socom Confrontation, Ghostbusters, SCIV, Resistance 2, The Agency, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm, Mirror's Edge, RE5, Singstar, GHIV, NBA 09, Buzz Quiz TV, Killzone 2 (This isn't 08 but k), Fallout 3
- Look at what's coming next year: GOD OF WAR 3 YESSSSSSS. SHOWING A TRAILER. Pretty awesome, no gameplay though. No release date, or even a release window. Pretty carp.
- Now showing Infamous. CG/Comic Book fusion trailer. Showing some gameplay. Some pretty chaotic carp going on. Looks pretty cool.
- Announcing a brand new title. Andy Bodwin from Zipper Interactive (SOCOM) is presenting. Game is called "MAG"/ Massive Action Game. (Awful name.) 256 players online wtf. Teams will be broken into 8 player squads, lead by those who prove themselves strong enough players to lead. Now showing the game, or a trailer more like. Its all CG footage so far. Why on earth would you debut a game so heavily dependant on gameplay through CG footage. I don't understand. Honestly this looks awful. People are dropping in from helicopters and rockets are flying everywhere.
- That's it. What a carp bust. What a missed opportunity.
