The gamecube had numerous games that did similar features with the GBA, it was a PIA and riddiculed. I'm sure the PSP and PS3 will be easy to use and cool.
I do think its cool though, just like before.

From: Blu-Ray: We Don't Need No Stinkin' Petition
5:44 -- SingStar PS3 is shown. Blu-Ray allows them hundreds of songs, as well as BluRay videos of band music. Loadtimes (at least in this version ... not sure what it's running on) is blazingly fast, for what it's worth with a debug unit. You can also browse an online catalog of songs and buy any number of tunes. This is also the general PlayStation 3 pricing structure for buying online content (new levels, new characters, etc.) for all PS3 games. There's also a new "MySingStar" feature that allows people to add new content and skins to your version, as well as add personal Singstar performances to the SingStar download section.
5:46 -- Genji 2 shown. Stages of the game are based on ancient history in Japan. There will be stages of fighting on horseback, massive sea battles, and more. Played with a PS2 pad. You can change weapons or characters at any time, and battle through hundreds of enemies. Gameplay looks like a combination of Genji 1 and Dynasty Warriors, with not the millions of foes of Heavenly Sword but some of the cool details and effects of the previous Genji in hi-res. The game promises some unique ways of battling bosses -- a crab monster is shown, and to flip him to get at him, you have to use the one bruiser character then switch to your swordsman.
5:51 -- Formula One for PS3 shown. Has this unique system where the PSP is used as a "wing mirror" to see behind you while playing the PS3 game, in realtime.
5:53 -- Heavenly Sword is shown. At last, something SUPER-cool!! It looks sharp, with tons of enemies in the crowd, great detail on the lead character and enemies, a smooth framerate, and some bad-assed attack moves! No words are said until the end of the gameplay battle sequence, except that Phil says that it uses a "phenomenal" system merging animation and AI. The game will be playable on the E3 show floor.
Lead character uses a disk to Slice up enemies, and also God of War-style chainblade attacks to swing enemies into other enemies. There's also combat in the air (or at least CG footage in the air.) The crowd goes wild for the first time in the show.
5:56 -- A video reel of games that were not available for realtime demonstration, or at least could not be a part of this event.
Lair -- looks pretty wicked, as you ride a dragon and do battle with other dragons -- you can also fall off of your dragon and plummet to the earth
The Getaway -- Mean-ass-looking dude smokes somebody while people on the street are unaware.
Afrika -- Shows great detail on real animals, including a hippo, a giraffe, zebras, a yak, and more. Looks great, but ... uh, what's the gameplay?
Hot Shots Golf -- Cartoon golf, with nice (but not super-great) grass effects. Much higher res than PS2 game, with characters that look rendered.
Monster Kingdom -- A fantasy-horror game, you may recognize this from the PSP game also out (it's by the makers of Shin Megami Tensei.)
6:01 -- Phil is back. And now, he's talking about two world-premier games.
The first is a game set out in the desert of Arizona. We now know where the Bullet Car demo and the exploding gas station demos came from. Shows a gas tanker exploding, shows realtime bullet effects and care deformation as the cars get damaged or crash. Lead character has some cool moves, can Dukes of Hazard over the car hood. He is also seen jumping through a window, and inside the station, he is shooting out at enemies. Then the gas rig crashes into the station (with an incredible amount of left-behind chaos -- if this is realtime, it's pretty rad how much "chunks of stuff" was left behind.) And finally, they blow up the gas tank as they drive away. The game is called Eight Days, and what we just witnessed was "Day 2".
The second is from Naughty Dog. It shows an amazing-looking forest (if it's realtime), looks like it might be Jak ... but then it shows a real-life character (normal-looking fellow) shooting and jumping and fighting. No name for it. It had the look of realtime gameplay, but it was not said exactly what it was. Certainly a departure for Naughty Dog!!
6:06 -- Ted Price wraps it up with a look at Resistance: Fall of Man. Ted says that the initial showing of Resistance (when it was "I-8" was just the start, and that the team has since taken a very close look at the system to get at its full capacities. The game is an alternate world, where WWII never happened, and the worst thing ever to happen to man was that aliens have invaded us. Gameplay looks much like Call of Duty, with explosions and bodies everywhere. Horn demons are running about, and you must blast them with WWII-era weapons as well as new weapons. At first, the game looks like a pretty normal next-gen shooter, but as it goes on, the level of chaos and cool weapons and stuff happening just goes through the roof. The game has multiplayer modes, including 32-player online play.

I guess I'll have to scope some of the gameplay videos before making a verdict.. but I'm feeling a bit unfulfilled. Actually, I'm not really sure what I was expecting of this! So it's all good. What I've learned: The PS3 is fully loaded, comes out in November and uses a wireless PS2 controller. Games shown seem to be high-resolution PS2 games. No new PSP, PSP emulation on memory stick.

Dead for me too.
Wow, I am so underwhemled. I really hope they pull something special out of their hat. I feel like I'm watching videos of nicer looking PS2 launch titles. C'mon Sony, wow me!

6:12 -- Third parties reel shown.
Assassin's Creed - A short version of the Assassin's trailer is shown. It, of course, looks awesome.
Gundam -- Some mechs and tanks are shown rolling in. Stuff explodes. It all looks shiny and nice, with one section that seems pretty clear to be realtime.
Coded Arms Assault -- PS3 version of PSP franchise.
Ridge Racer 7 -- Short trailer shown. Reiko!! Plus racing action, showing something of a toonshaded style and blurs out the ying-yang.
Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway -- A very short clip of action as a tank crushes a car.
Tekken 6 -- A fight shown. Not E3 2005-quality.
Sonic -- Fast action and tons of explosions and stuff happening. Looks like Sonic Adventure. Shadow is in it ... hope for the best.
Virtua Tennis 3 -- Nice faces and shadows on characters.
Virtua Fighter 5 -- Man, SEGA is working overtime. Looks like the arcade game, and looks really cool, with incredible lighting and animation synch.
John Woo Presents Stranglehold -- Chow Yun Fat unloads some bullets.
Fatal Inertia -- Racing action, looks like the E3 2005 trailer ...but is it realtime?
Bladestorm -- Koei's other game.
Armored Core 4 -- The mech action continues.
