Yawn. I think somewhere around the umpteenth short, utterly non-engrossing gameplay demo, I started nodding off. Maybe some of that stuff looked better live than on an Internet stream, but, still, there wasn't anything NEW here. (Game-wise.) Sony just kept showing us stuff we already knew was coming out. Including an Infamous 2 trailer. Really? The game hits store shelves tomorrow and you had to waste time during this conference to talk about how cool it is? What, haven't gotten enough pre-orders yet?

Sony had two really interesting, really exciting pieces of news. Here's what their press conference should have been:

"I'm Jack Tretton. I'm really sorry that we got hacked. I hope all the freebies we're giving you convince you not to join the class action suit. By the way, we learned our lesson from pricing the PS3 so high five years ago. Here's a new 3D TV that lets two players play local multiplayer with each person seeing a different full-screen image. With glasses and a game, it's only $500. Here's our new portable. We call it Vita. It's way more powerful than a 3DS or an iPod touch or a Droid. It only costs $250 for WiFi and $300 for WiFi+3G.

"Good night!"

Now that. That I would have stayed awake for. Or, Kevin Butler. Why didn't they trot him out?
