All of these digital devices are powered by Sony's CONNECT™ download service, which features over one million songs from multiple labels; plus new, exclusive content every week. And soon Sony will be rewriting the rules once again. The CONNECT service will enable you to download hundreds of videos, games and TV shows as well as films and other content. You'll even be able to browse from a wide selection of books.

5:30 John Koller talking about Sony's position in the gaming industry. They expect another 5 years with the PS2 on top of anticipating the PS3 launch and celebrating early success with the PSP. They've sold more than 4 million PSP units in the US, with 70 titles and 250 movies now out. PSP development hasn't stopped -- PSP Connect to launch in March for users to download full-length movies and new titles.

Awesome. I'm hoping video support through RSS (for video podcasts) is in the plans pretty soon, too.

How exactly is this a benefit over downloading stuff on your computer and putting it on the PSP? Will Sony have exclusive content?

I'd reckon that it be compatible with all firmware updates, unlike current emulation/rips, for starters.

Anything mentioned as far as what kind of games they're talking about? IE, primarily emulation or just quick flash/cell-phone style games?

I'm agreeing with Yoshi already this year. There are no gods. :(

Also, price point on this shit needs to be low. Otherwise why bother, no games, no free (good) content. No dice.
