Not sure about the black circles on the controller, I'm watching the livestream at the moment, totally clueless with all these acronyms going around

Will be interesting to see how long Microsoft leave it now that Sony are making it's move

Looks like downloaded games will be downloaded in bits so you can start playing faster.

This share function looks great, being able to upload the last few seconds of gameplay, being able to watch people playing their game, and being able to control someone elses game that you're watching. As an Xbox user, I'm very impressed.

Yeah, that sounds like a killer feature. I'm wary of their social networking stuff, they need to bite the bullet and dive into facebook integration instead.

Seems impressive so far. That Knack game looks quite fun.

Interface:

Looks like they're implementing a bunch of steam features.

I'm betting EE loved that coincidental plug.

Interface looks so much better than PS3 already!
I hope Microsoft moves quickly to announce theirs now

So glad I'm watching the stream on twitch than getting the information from places like the Verge, the Guardian and other random places - one of them has an article titled "Does Sony's next generation start with the PS4?", which is incredibly stupid.

It all seems impressive so far - the UI looks really good. The PS3 UI is pretty dreadful now that it's aged, it's shockingly slow and rather ugly.

EDIT: The game achievement sharing facility reminds me of what the Wii U can do, but Sony has done it a lot better. Once you've completed a part of the game you can share a comment (not sure about video or image, never tampered with it).
