Golden Sun DS Wooo
That xbox on the other hand looks quite erm.....

[Nightstalker]

Not over keen on the new 360 look.. Having built in WiFi is good though.

19 minutes until the Project Natal press conference.

[yosai]

So Natal is now called Kinect and already has a sports rip off

Kinect Sports: Microsoft's answer to Wii Sports, Kinect Sports features table tennis, boxing, bowling, soccer, beach volleyball, and track and field; all controlled using your body.

USA Today published some details about the above. The article was pulled about 10 minutes later.

Inside the conference. No electronics allowed aparently

M$ are holding a Cirque du Soleil performance.

For some reason everyone attending have been given ponchos with shoulder pads to wear..





In other news it looks like a 500GB PS3 pack is on the horizon.

CVG has learned that Sony is set to reveal two new PS3 SKUs this week (also known as Mental E3 Week) which will come bundled with the Move motion controller.

Sony plans to release 500GB and 250GB versions of its slimline powerhouse bundled with the new motion controller later this year, according to our source in Los Angeles.

We were also told that the new PS3s will come with new faster internal Wi-Fi cards (802.11n, for those of you who know what that means). Current PS3s come with the slower 802.11 b/g standard Wi-Fi. Basically, that means new PS3's connection to PSN and the internet will be faster if you have an 802.11n-compatible router.

"I don't know about prices, but their strategy is quite smart," our source told us. "With a super high-end and a less high-end approach, Move could almost become a success by stealth."

Sony previously revealed that Move will be available in three different bundles: standalone for those who already have the PS Eye camera; with the camera and a PS3; or with the camera and a game (the latter of which Sony notes will cost under $100).

We'll be at the Sony conference on Tuesday bringing you the official word as it's revealed.

Apparently the ponchos are interactive with some sort of chipset inside the shoulder pads..

[Nightstalker]

Microsoft officially announces that Project Natal is called Kinect.



Kameo 2 is confirmed and is Kinect compatible.

Some Minority Report style game is being shown.

The ponchos either glowed or were used as some kind of projector.

"Kinect connected with the Dashboard, BBC, Planet Earth" not too sure what that means exactly. Controller free dashboard movement and iPlayer?

Videochat is being shown, Lets hope they dont drop all a day after launch like they did with the 360 camera.

Star Wars Kinect game with force push/lightsaber movement.

Volleyball game supports xbox live play..possibly multiplayer sports pack?

Xbox Kinect is possibly bundled with the new Xbox 360 Slim.

All is over until Microsofts full Xbox conference tomorrow.

Well I can see so far this E3 ain't nothing but a bunch of useless crap (for a little change)

Well I can see so far this E3 ain't nothing but a bunch of useless crap (for a little change)

yeah I'm waiting for Konami to make their rounds and tell me about Otomedius Excellent, Gradius Arc, and Dance Dance Revolution (all versions currently in development)

Also, I kinda want to see the 3ds. But the PS3 and XB360 **** seen so far simply does not impress me at all. I already have a working PS3 and Xbox 360, why do I need any of this new crap?

[John James Pacinelli]

why do I need any of this new crap?

You don't . I'm an arcade guy myself, the only shizzle I'm remotely interested in is KOFXII and the new BlazBlue, as for the rest I'll just keep buy old arcade pbcs those are the only games I enjoy playing.

[SuperPang]

Can I please go into a coma until this stupid arm waving fad has passed.
