But can they release a PS3Laptop like my good friend Ben Heck? And yes, it's real and works.

Hah, I saw that awhile back. It's pretty sweet. A little heavy though..

I thought compared to Microsoft the Sony press conference kinda sucked.

-Making the 80GB the Core system
this is essentially a price drop which is kind of expected, xbox did the same thing making 60GB to core.

-HOME
looks much better than I expected, somewhat excited to see the final release but I don't really understand what I'm supposed to use it for?

-Movies/TV in PSN
nothing unexpected, some idiot on Engadget decided this was better than Netflix on the 360. If you watch one or 2 movies per month then this would be better.

I own neither of the systems right now and the 360's addition of Netflix may have gotten me. Only thing that I would say that popped out to me is the Ratchet Update, huge fan of that.

I might have to get a PS3 now that it has a price drop.
Wait, I take that back. I'll just get a Blu-Ray player because I hate Sony.
I'll get a non-Sony Blu-Ray player as well.

well regardless of what the engadget guy says, 360 has netflix AND a bunch of movies and tv shows, so Microsoft wins either way.
