Sony's E3 Press Conference

Wow the power of communication these days!
What with broadband and all, loads of people watched a live broadcast of Sony's press conference yesterday live! Something that's never happened (at least to my knowledge) before.

Anyhow, the conference started nearly one hour late (1 am our time) so I was too tired to finish it all, and it started off quite boring (figures and numbers and resolution and polygons bla bla). Today I checked out the highlights and there was nothing there for me, but loads for fans of Sony games, especially MGS4 :)

One thing worth noting though is that they also revealed the final controller specs. They've ditched the infamous "boomerang" that was shown last year, and gone back to the good old Dual Shock configuration. But this time there are a few new additions: no more Shock, analogue trigger sticks, wireless, a central button with the ps3 logo on it (guide or home button most likely), and a 6 motion sensor gyroscope!

Now I don't know about you, but the minute I read about it I was thinking about all the other controllers and how this is just a copy of all the rivals' best bits. I think no one summed it up better than GameSpot:

So if you wanted to be a cynic, you could say that this is a wireless PS2 controller with analog triggers like the Xbox, a central guide button like the Xbox 360, and internal motion sensors like the Wii.

Nintendo's press conference is in just under 8 hours time.... get it right please.....
