The Sony press conference kicked off just moments ago, and the company brought da noise with Sony style: Strong, assertive and with the kind of swagger that only comes from having won the last console war hands-down.

Here are some of the major highlights:

* Jack Tretton showed up as his PSHome character. Pretty nifty. the Avatar walked through Home Square, apparently a new area of Home.
* Tretton: "over the past 14 years...Sony has strived to deliver great entertainment and innovation... we're going to show you games, games and more games." Good call, Sony.
* A little love for the PS2: Tretton trumpets the console's sucess and says over 160 games are coming to the console this year.

* PSP Games shown include: SOCOM U.S. Navy Seals Tactical Strike, Wipeout: Pulse, Syphon Filter; Logan's Shadow, NBA '08, God of War: Chains of Olympus, Silent Hill Origins, Patapon, Tiger Woods '08, Sonic Rivals 2, Sims 2: Castaway, SWAT: Target Liberty, Final Fantasy Tacktics: The war of the Lion, Castlevania.
* Tretton showed off some of the awesome custimization stuff available on the PSHome. Kaz and Tretton virtually "hung out" and did a little comedy. Comedy is hard for everyone, so we gave them a pass.
* Kaz took the stage to cheers and unveiled the new PSP!
* New PSP: still has UMD, but it's 33% lighter than current and 19% slimmer. Improved battery, improved video, and can be hooked up to televisions! Wow!
* Kaz demoed the new PSP with a showing of Spiderman 2, controlled from a PSP.
* Comes in designer colors: "Ice Silver" Comes with Daxter and 1meg memory stick and The Family Guy: Frickin' Sweet UMD.
* Chewbaca (?!!) made an appearance to show off the Star Wars: Battlefront bundle. A white PSP with Darth Vader on the back. $199.99. TheFeed thinks corporate executives should not try to do comedy. Also, when did we drop acid?
* Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron comes out this fall.
* PlayStation Network is next up. 2 million users and 20 million downloads, according to Tretton.
* Phil Harrison takes the stage. Shows off five games from the PlayStation Network: EchoChrome, a puzzle game that look simply waste-your-life amazing. Like an Escher print and Line Rider had a genius offspring. You'll be hearing a lot about this one.
* Pain. Funny, destructive and as addictive as you can imagine.
* PS Network Games Shown include: Wipeout HD, Warhawk, SOCOM Confrontation.
* PlayStation Home: Home client can run on Sony phones. Without graphics, but with all the social networking acess.
* Harrison showed off some of the new spaces in Home. Very impressive.
* SingStar playable within Home.
* Harrison demonstrates the media capabilities of the phone/home connection by taking, then instantly uploading a photo of the crowd to PlayStation Home. Instantly uploads photos to Home. Very cool.
* Can push screenshots from in Home to webpages. Like MySpace but for fake you.
* Ability to launch any game from PS3 from inside Home.
* Shows off Motorstorm from Home. Eagles Nest map available next month.
* 80 gig PS3 model will be priced at $599 and is available on August.
