    Been watching it while I work, Microsoft is blowing the f'ing doors off of E3 so far. Every game they've shown has looked awesome. Microsoft is releasing a 360 dashboard update that is seriously turning the 360 in to the ultimate media center set top box.

    So far:

    -Full 1080p instant-on video purchases.
    -Even more Netflix integration.
    -Last.fm integration.
    -Really slick looking Facebook and Twitter clients.

    Honestly, all the crap they've shown that the 360 is going to be able to do is what the Apple TV needs to be doing and what Sony wishes the PS3 did. I am just blown away by this press conference. I wasn't expecting much going in, and so far my jaw is just on the floor.

    Project Natal will not work anything like what they're showing. No way.

    OK so far in Microsoft's press conference we've got all kinds of crazy games, insane upgrades to the dashboard, project natal, Spielberg, METAL GEAR...

    Predicting the following for the other press conferences:

    Nintendo: "Hey guys! New gimmick accessory, new Wii game where you wildly flail your arms around!"
    Sony: "Hey guys! New versions of our consoles just for fun, also here's the one or two exclusive games we were able to sucker developers in to making for us!"

    OK this does look pretty awesome, although so far they haven't shown anything as detailed as the demo video with it being able to tell two people apart like the guy changing the tires in the racing game.

    Good for Microsoft. I just hope the other companies will follow suit, though I doubt it.

    Pretty much every big gaming site has live streaming, and Game Trailers ( http://www.gametrailers.com/ ) will have individual clips up shortly, if they don't already.

    That's got to be kind of a drag hanging out with Steve at E3, I imagine E3 to be pretty amazing and he's done nothing but crap all over it on your podcasts. :\
