Here we go with the other 2 main speeches:
Sony.
More sales figures: "1.7 million PS3 users worldwide (Folding@home)". Got a Guiness World Record for that, apparently.
Resistance 2, eight-player co-op and 60-player competitive. Bloody huge monsters too, like Cloverfield on acid.
More sales figures, but this time presented in Little Big Planet. Nice twist. 6.6 billion dollars of revenue in 6 months during 2008. 23 billion dollars estimated. 1.8 million PS3s sold this year, 1.6 million PSPs.
LBP out in October 2008. About time I say!
Single sign-on for all the PlayStation Network will be online this year, across PSP, PS2, PS3 and PC login, which will make things a bit easier. Good idea for remembering a password.
Even more figures, over 180 million downloads since the PS3 launch, he says. 40 days to hit 5 million PSN accounts, 10 million accounts since. Will the figures stop?
Ooh, Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest For Booty on PSN this year for $14.99. Nice. Starts where Tools of Destruction finished.
More PSN titles: Ratchet & Clank, Crash, Fat, Pixeljunk Eden, PAIN Amusement Park, flOwer, Siren Blood Curse,Ragdoll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic
Top Gear TV on GT5 Prologue from August 1st.
The PSN's video delivery service made up of: Sony Pictures, Fox Film and TV, MGM, Lion's Gate, Warner, Disney, Paramount, Turner and Funimation. USD 1.99 per episode of TV in SD, 2.99 to 5.99 for HD rentals and up to 14.99 for HD purchases. Yes, that’s right, you can buy stuff as well as rent. It will also go straight on PSP if you want. So when is it happening? Tonight apparently. Blimey. Mind you, that might only be in the US.
Resistance Retribution, new PSP Resistance game out Spring next year. Nice.
Life with PlayStation out this month for news and weather (nobody point out to Sony that Nintendo have done this since day one!)
DC Universe Online. Screens and a speech. Looks lovely, but have to wait to see if it delivers on heady promises. "Imagine being able to create your own superhero or supervillain and enter the DC universe. Imagine being a villain and helping all the inmates at Arkham Asylum escape to attack the Bat-cave."
80GB PlayStation 3 is going to be the focus now – no idea if that will mean 80GB Europe PS3s though.
Biggest news: God of War 3 is coming to PS3 (Really?!) trailer and everything. Nice, but not exactly revealing anything.
inFamous next, another superhero game. A bit MMo and a bit Crackdown. Not bad.
Now a new game: MAG: Up to 256 players, lovely helicopters, airplanes mucho tank action. Possibly like a bigger better Warhawk?
And that's it for Sony. No really big surprises, but some nice footage and DC Universe looking interesting.

Apparently Nintendo are releasing an add-on for the Wiimote that will give a better 'motion-sensing experience.' This thing will work out the exact distance between the remote and sensor bar instead of estimating it like it does now.
Oh and Luetchy sent me this which gives you an idea of the new 360 blade design and the 'Mii' feature.

Nope. I'm wondering if everyone has it confused with the motion sensing they developed for the Lips microphones?

Microsoft's speech went something like a longer version of this:
MS started by talking about Guitar Hero and Rock Star, plus COD4 and GTA4 as if they are exclusives (just like their last conference then).
Video for Fallout 3 and then a playable demo being shown. Exclusive to 360 and PC.
resi Evil 5 being demo'd for the first time. Peter Molyneux pops up for Fable 2, out in October.
Gears of War 2, looking even nicer and 5 player live co-op. Out November 7th.
Sales figures talk "Hardware is at 10.3 million US sales compared to 10.2 million of Wii and 5 million plus ahead of PS3" Make of that what you will, but a bit embarrassing with the Wii not so far behind.
Lots of stuff about new movies in US and Europe and TV content too.
New Avatar system (see Mii on the Wii) incorporated in to the Dashboard. Completely revamped dashboard seems to have split people 50/50 on whether it's good or a mess.
New version of Geometry Wars, taking bits from Galaxies and the past games. Looks nice but more of the same really.
Portal sequel - Still Alive, going to be exclusive to 360. Could be a good seller on Live.
Banjo and Viva Pinata 2 both looking very nice. Original Banjo game coming to Xbox Live and Pinata 2 is out in September 5th.
New version fo Scene It! with live downloads (sounds like they're trying to do a film version of Buzz) and new controllers.
Codemasters game "You're in the movies." which uses the live vision camera to create dodgy B-movie footage of you and friends doing silly stuff, then sticks it on to the backgrounds, blue screen style. Interesting idea if it works well.
Lips is next. It's basically a 360 singstar but with motion sensitive microphones so you can...er...wave them around and stuff. Best bit: You can sing to your own songs taken from your MP3 collection or ipod.
Rock Band 2, nothing we didn't know: Coming first to 360 and you can export most of the songs from Rock Band into the sequel.
Biggest news to close with: FFXIII is coming to 360 as well as PS3. Seems to be a shock for some, but most had heard the rumours already.
and that's it until tomorrow...

I only just caught a bit of Resident Evil 5, Fable 2, Gears of War 2 and the new interface. What did I miss?
