I'm not being dramatic, but that was the best Trailer for a video game I've ever seen. 
 
The music was great.

Played the demo and to be honest, wasn't that impressed, i felt like i was playing a variant of Batman Arkham Asylum....which felt a lot better than this did. I was looking forward to this but after the demo, i'm not so sure now

I was going to post: "Sigh yet another Conviction video, getting tired of the damn things."
Saw the vid: "Holy fuckin shit that was awesome! Song selection was superb for this. I was truly touched dear sirs."
 
This trailer alone will make me reconsider my initial plan not to buy due to DRM restrictions.

I don't think those were nightvision.  I think they were the sonar vision goggles from the demo.

Weird, I had a better impression of the graphics from their E3 demo.
 
We shall see about the sonar goggles. In a recent showing on GameSpot, the dude said that Sam would get some of his old equipment back and he specifically mentioned the goggles. If the 3 dots are green and they tint the screen in a green tone, I don't care if they supposedly work sonar-based.

Alright.  I really want to play this game now.  This was badass to the highest degree.  I like they managed a badass one liner in a video game trailer without making it too cheesy.  This will be the first Splinter Cell game I've played since the very first one.

If you beat this game without ever causing an alert, you unlock a Johnny Cash skin.

Awsome trailer!  Love how at 1:15 the shot of Sam Fisher "executing" the dude matches up with the beat of the music.

I am super super bummed that this is exclusive to the XBox. Luckily my roommate has an XBox so provided he buys it... I'll be able to play it.  
 
I've loved me some Splinter Cell for a long ass time and this looks awesome.

Yeah... no. While I like the MGS series better then Splinter Cell, the gameplay in SC has always been much better. The game looks really good, you probebly should turn up the quality in the video a bit and you'll notice it too. Also, Conviction has been in development long before MW2 and I seriously doubt they added a white house level just because another game had it.

That's not the white house it's the Pentagon.  And since you mention logic, it would actually be illogical for it to be the white house since the white house is simply a figure head type building and the Pentagon tends to be where all the main special forces/intelligence decision get made. So since the Third Echelon is a secret branch of the Pentagon in-game It makes even more sense for them to do it there. "

Er,  it is the White House.  They show an exterior / establishing shot of it (00:34) with a helocopter on the lawn and smoke coming from a window.

Doing it at the white house is too obvious. This's Tom Clancy we're talking about, not Jerry Bruckheimer.

So this trailer has Sam Fisher, Michael Ironside, and Johnny Cash. 
Sam Fisher = Badass 
Michael Ironside = Badass 
Johnny Cash = Badass
Yup, this is indeed Badass: The Game.

It's night, and the goggles let him see.  QED: they're night vision goggles.  A bet is a bet.  Congrats Vinny! 
 
PS:     They totaly have the night vision whine sound effect at the end with the date. 
PPS:  Michael Ironside  is Splinter Cell.
