That was by far the most interesting of the 3 conferences.

Haze is a timed exclusive for the PS3, not an outright exclusive. It is also coming to the Xbox 360 and PC. I just checked Gamespot and it shows Unreal Tournament 3 being released for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC at the end of 2007. Now, it is possible PS3 has a new timed exclusive, but again, not outright exclusivity. And I believe MGS4 and Killzone 2 are both TBA 2008.

Yes, it's always interesting to see what companies do and how they present themselves when they go from dominating an industry to being in last place. Personally, I enjoy slideshow presentations, although I realize not everyone enjoys numbers and graphs.

Ok, it did start to get interesting by the time they showed MGS4. Infamous looks pretty good too.

Meh, Haze and UT3 were said to be exclusive this year. People made a big stink when Devil May Cry 4 was to be released on XBox 360 (and it wasn't even a timed exclusive), I don't see how this isn't important.

About Haze:

IGN: Is it a permanent exclusive or will it be timed, ala Oblivion?

Key: Haze will only be found on PS3 this holiday season, and will remain exclusive through the first quarter of the calendar year.

Anyways, exclusives (at LEAST timed) shown:

Third party:

-Haze
-Unreal Tournament 3
-Metal Gear Solid 4

First/second party:

-Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
-Heavenly Sword
-Little Big Planet
-PSN titles (Wipeout HD, Pain, Warhawk, SOCOM, etc.)
-Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
-Folklore
-InFamous (debut)
-Killzone 2 (debut)
-Gran Turismo 5 (semi debut)

did I forget any?

coupled with a ton of multiplatform gems including Call of Duty 4, this is looking like a great future lineup of games for PS3 owners.

Simply wanted to get the facts straight.

I figured out the Unreal Tournament III deal. UT III is exclusive to the PC and PS3 until early 2008, when a 360 version will be released.
