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. 

It's only a bargain if you think that $100 for wi-fi is a bargain. Otherwise they should have cut the price. But they're not going to basically ditch an accessory they sell for $100, right? Hence why the 360 is the same price. No wifi = $199, which is what they SHOULD have done



Currently playing:

Unreal Tournament 3, Warhawk, Rock Band, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII, DMC2, then 3, and Radiata Stories

Well the only good things out of it were the new 360 redesign and that the 360 is getting a exclusive Crytek game.



It's just that simple.

360 just won holidays 2010 in the west... guaranteed!!!

Would you like to make a bet, sir?


I would back you up on that bet Khuutra.

I second that.

Make that three.



The kinect stuff was BRILLIANT

but it ended up being slightly disappointing because in terms of new traditional games, not much was announced at all.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Im amazed at some of the reactiuons here...

kinect delivered BIG TIME

kinect games looked v good

the big 3 games blockbuster games looked amazing

COD has timed exclusivity for 3 years on DLC

there was an unannounced crytek exclusive

and a new console... with a bigger HDD and built in wifi for the same price available TOMORROW.

come on fellas... get over the bias and admit that was a good conference.

 

I know it seem's no matter what some companies do they cannot seem to get any prop's from some gamer's.

I for one thought Microsoft had a pretty good conference.

the fact that the redesign goes on sale this week is great, it will spurn new sales..

though as for :

"kinect delivered BIG TIME"

well I for one agree it was pretty darn good, some would disagree, but one of the thing's i like and I think that will go overwith pretty big is the dance instruction function. My Wife would go nuts over that

I think myself that is going to get big interest, because it's got the real dance move's in it and it teaches you those.

that is pretty good in my opinion.



I AM BOLO

100% lover "nothing else matter's" after that...

ps:

Proud psOne/2/3/p owner.  I survived Aplcalyps3 and all I got was this lousy Signature.

Guys we don't want to bombard him with bets

HE'S MINE!



If marketed correctly, MS is in for a HUGE holiday. Also, routsounmanman is getting a 360 slim this month along with Tales of Vesperia. Finally.



Oh and where was Rare? I want a new Conker game!

And people saying the presentation was good for casual gamers.... i don't think most casual gamers follow E3, let alone know what it is.
