Or just a thread about it.

So far, Sony and Nintendo have done their press conference, microsoft is coming up next.

Highlights for Sony:
-MGS4 was shown, looks absolutely amazing for fans of the series.
-GT4 running in high res on PS3
-NEW WARHAWK! YES!
-Tilting feature in the controller (oh my, how original)
-No rumble feature (due to the lawsuit in progress?)
-Controller now pretty much looks the same as ps2 controller, but wireless
-Two Prices: $500 for 20GB and limited functions, $600 for 60GB and full function
-PSP now able to download PS1 games, uses for PS3 include rear view mirror in racing games (seems kinda like a waste)
-Interesting EyeToy game shown
-New Naughty Dog game that looks pretty amazing
-November 2006 release

Highlights for Nintendo:
-Wii Sports games look like A LOT of fun
-Red Steel and its innovative FPS/controller usage
-SUPER MARIO GALAXY
-Zelda for GC/Wii/DS (wii functionality looks great!)
-Yoshi's Island 2(!!!), Diddy Kong Racing, and Starfox DS for DS!
-Ouendan for DS is coming to the US with some wacky name (Elite Beat Agents). I hope they keep the music intact
-Metroid Prime 3 for Wii (though the graphics for the first two were great anyway, so this didnt really shock)
-speaker in the controller sounds so cool when used
-Mario Basketball looks amazingly good on the DS
-conducting game looks crazy and awesome for DS
