I thought I'd be a good sport and watch Sony's E3 press conference live from PlayStation Home. Only, the conference didn't start streaming on time, so I switched over to GameSpot's live stream. An hour and a half into the conference, my Alienware overheated (what the?!), so I caught the last half-hour back in PlayStation Home, where I got to listen to plenty of mockery of the newly-named PlayStation Vita. My public plea: please, no more PlayStation Velveeta jokes. Not even 24 hours later, and they are already old and lame.

These are my five favourite Sony E3 2011 features/announcements so far:

1. ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection (PS3) YES!!!
2. WipEout 2048 (PSVita) Woo Hoo!
3. Sly Cooper 4 (PS3) Nice...
4. PlayStation Vita for $249/$299 All right. All right.
5. 24" Sony 3D TV for $499 Suddenly, I am open to considering a 3D TV.

Runner-up: God of War Origins Collection (PS3) Not bad...

Last year, I made a top-ten list of E3 wishes. None of them came true. So I didn't bother with a list this year. However, I went back to last year's list to see if anything came true after E3:

1. Super Street Fighter IV DLC Characters announced: Yes, SSFIV:AE
2. Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown for PS3: NOPE
3. Another WipEout HD Expansion: Kinda, WipEout 2048 for PSVita is close enough, and an expansion might be made for the PS3 version so it can play with the PSVita game
4. Dante's Inferno 2 announced: NOPE
5. Shadow of the Colossus HD for PS3: Yes, the ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection
6. Okami for PS3: NOPE
7. PS2 games library available on PSN: Kinda, with the HD Collections they've been releasing
8. PSP titles playable on PS3: Kinda, with the HD re-releases
9. Trophies for PSP: Kinda, there are none for PSP but it looks like there will be trophies on PSVita
10. PSP2: Yes, the NGP, aka the PSVita

A year later, 7 out of 10 yeses or kindas ain't bad.
