Well the 360 event is over and, son, I am disappoint. No surprises at all, game wise. It seemed to be focused on the voice interface for Kinect. Some of the non-gaming stuff was nice but I was hoping for more gaming info and less new music services. The constant repetition of "Xbox" into the mic made me think of this:

A good chunk was devoted to Kinect. Bleh

The tablet thingy, why do I get the feeling that has to do with the WiiU...

And then theres Xbox music.....in no relation to iTunes right?

Everything these days has to be voice activated eh?

No real surprises game wise. Sequels n stuff

What's that. Microsoft held Kinect Extravaganza for the third straight year in a row?

I love how you can visually see the audience lose interest in the coverage

I was told that if you didn't think the presentation was 'pretty damn good' you just don't understand what E3 is all about.

**illuknisaa**

So kinect is a mic with 1500% price increase?

Indeed. Its obviously the audiences fault for not realizing how awesome the presentation was

**Manchu**

The Sony one is at 6PM Pacific/9PM EST.

Halo 4 looks shiny. That is all.

The audience at E3 isn't actually the target audience.

E3 is aimed at industry insiders, not gamers.

And yet they broadcast it live over the internet, Spike TV, and over the 360. Not to mention heavily advertising to non-industry people that they will be broadcasting it live on the internet, Spike TV, and over the 360. It hasn't been solely an insider trade show for some time now.
