You can export recorded videos to your PSP. You can launch recorded videos directly from the library.

Trailer Reel:
- WipEout HD looks pretty sexy for a PSN game.
- WarHawk is shown. He's zooming around, running around, driving around, sniping around, and morphing into Lair via a splash screen.
- Eye of Judgement. Guitars and drums, pirate ships and men on horses.
- Heavenly Sword. Bits from the demo and elsewhere. Snowy bits, grassy bits, Nariko's bits.
- GT5 Prologue. It looks like the other GT HD Prologue wotsit. "All coming Christmas 2007 on PlayStation 3."
He's introducing MGS4. . .
