I don't think I will be buying this Natal thing unless something really awesome happens for it. Or they make a mini-natal to work with PCs so I can go around my business Minority Report style.

Other than that, what I said still stands. It was as awesome/shitty as Nintendo's conferences of previous years, the ones before 2009.Doubt it will be as good, solely because N has had 4 years to perfect their motions while MS is just starting. I think we will see the same thing before. A lot of promise, huge let downs, hundreds of cashin/fitness/party games, and then after a few years will people be finally able to learn how to truly implement it well.

However anyone who has said that Nintendo's shows were underwhelming and is now praising MS is plainly full of crap and should never be listened to or taken seriously ever again.

On reflection, this was probably Microsoft's worst conference ever for the core gamer.. They showed Call of Duty, Halo, Gears, Metal Gear and... what else?

Having said that, it was a slam dunk for the casual gamer! I don't see how I'd want to use a lot of the new features though, I mean video chat while watching a movie is absolutely pointless.

Average E3, not amazing nor is it terrible, the bribe in the end kinda made me go "WTF?" though. I hate the new design too. The fucked up thing is all Sony has to do is make their 250GB version 299 instead of 349 and it's still a hardware with more features. We'll see what the new firmware will do hopefully during the Sony conference. I have high hopes for Nintendo this year since they have a lot of cool games coming on the Wii, the 3DS, Vit sensor, and more. As a gamer, I'm not tempted enough to buy the 360 again.

That was a great conference.

First part was for hardcore gamers. 2nd part was for casuals and hardcore gamers with families and friends.

My wife watched it and she is loving Kinect. My daughter is 3 and she loved the Kinectimals. This is very very smart from M$.

This will sell to casuals hugely guys. That was M$ aim. Great to see Hardcore market catered for and not forgotten. The new 360 looks beautiful. Absolutely gonna buy another new 360 in the next 2 months.

Fantastic conference M$.

Great price on the new 360 to. That is a bargain.

You should just work for Microsoft. You could be there PR.
