Here we go. Sony's bringing out their big guns.
4:46: And by big guns, we mean a dude with a violin. (While holding a beer, Travis says: "if you take away the violin, he looks like he has downs syndrome.")

4:55: Sony plans to ship six million PS3s by March '07.

4:56: Sony's still sticking their "only console to bring you full 1080p in gaming" line. While technically true, the 360 does do 1080p as well.

4:58: You'll be able to view PS3 hard drive content via your PSP from any wireless location soon. No date, but "soon".

5:00: Flow will be launched later this month on the PS3 Store.

5:14: Moving on to Sony digital cams—point and shoots and DSLRs. Sony Alpha and various other things we've already covered before.

5:16: Sony put in a dig to various "other" manufacturers here that we'll spare you from.

5:17: Now the portable media guy is here. He's digging out their UMPCs, Vaios, and Sony Reader ("the Walkman of the written word").

5:17: This is new. The VAIO Wireless Music System lets you stream music from your PC to "anywhere in your house."

5:20: Back to old stuff again, like the mylo and the LocationFree.
