E3 2010

Yes, that is correct, Sev. The slim 360s have built-in wireless capabilities.
And for anyone interested in getting the new model, but have the old one, I believe there's a trade-in program in effect now at Gamestop. I don't know the details, but there may be information at their website.

...the 360 is an incredible machine that has chugged along for a good 5 years with no signs of slowing down.

From all the press conferences, I've gathered that I'll be picking up kinect for child of Eden, and a 3ds.

Right now, for me there isn't enough interesting software for Kinect that will get me to buy one as of right now. The tech is pretty neat, but there isn't enough games for the core player to enjoy right now. We'll just have to see what comes later.

And it seems the 360 is losing steam when it comes to exclusives that aren't for Kinect. This year, I've only seen Halo: Reach and Gears of War 3 being exclusive for the system. There's still multiplatform games, but exclusives really help keep people interested in playing on a particular console, and after their conference, I wouldn't be surprised if some Xbox 360 fans have jumped ship.

Cien is forgetting that the 360 came out in 2005 and it still manages to have the same multi platform games as the ps3.

If that's not chugging along, I don't know what is.

Cien's also forgetting that PS3 is still "NO GAEMS"-station regardless of what Sony revealed at E3.

-0/10 - The Xbot is strong in you, but the joke is old and stupid. You even own a PS3 and don't have a 360, man. Something ain't right with that picture.
Sony had games. They just skimmed through a good portion of them in those video montages, which is a bit of a letdown, and the demos they showed were stuff already announced pre-E3, aside from Twisted Metal.

And while the 360 still has the same multiplatform games, some would prefer to play them on a system that's cheaper to buy and more reliable, though the new 360 model may change that a bit. Still need to buy a Live subscription, though.

I'd rather have a 360 than a PS3 nowadays. No love for any PS3 owners at least where I live.

-0/10 -

>implying 0 can be negative.

Methinks you're taking the ps3 bashing too seriously. Which I don't understand, since you have a 360 and a PS3, so you shouldn't really get defensive.

Also, please don't go calling people out on a joke immediately after calling them an 'xbot' or something. looks bad man.

It can still red ring. It just won't display the red ring at all. It'll flash green. Regardless, I honestly can't fathom why people are so afraid of rrod, the 360 is an incredible machine that has chugged along for a hood 5 years with no signs of slowing down.

From a consumer standpoint, it's still pretty scary to have a system that has an actual possibility of breaking down. It's one thing to have an NES console where just blowing on the cartridge a bit will solve the problem. It's another when a design flaw that somehow was not dealt with during the prototype stage of development gives the console a very limited lifespan (as in, not a matter of if it breaks down, but when). I say that as someone who owns a first generation JP 360 that recently went rrod on me. No more idolm@ster for me...for now. >.>

Edit: *ahem* Thanks for your coverage of E3, guys. Sounds like we have some interesting things to look forward to. *nod*

Putting Knights in the Nightmare for PSP on my 'to buy' list. Looks like it's going to be an awesome game.

[H4ataraxia]

only thing i found 'interesting' with the ps3 was just twisted metal
hell i think that was the only thing they even showed.
they were driving the sweet tooth truck around the area when i passed by the convention center lolol

[Scotty]

Sony conference was indeed a bit abysmal. I was literally asleep from it all until Kevin butler showed up. That liar David jaffe saved the show though. Golf clapped.

And of course Namco announced Nothing. Not to shocked really. You wouldn't talk about iM@S at an American gaming conference if its a Japanese only game. _{damn you Namco}

ScrewAttack's Top 10 Wins and Fails for E3 2010.
I think I agree for the most part. How about you guys?
Something related to the video, I actually missed the footage of the Cirque Du Soleil performance for Kinect... but I'm actually pretty glad I did, because it looked absolutely awful... and I LOVE Cirque Du Soleil. D:

Of course, why would they. But they did have one game I knew about at E3, that being the new Ace Combat game for the PSP. Other than that, I don't think I saw anything else by them.

I also apologize for my last few comments. I'm not one to like fanboys, but my friend Arrowhead here has been pressured into getting an Xbox. Nothing wrong with having one (unless it doesn't work ), but it's ultimately up to him if he wants to get one.

I want what the Konami staff was smoking during their press conference

[Cien Laguoire]

Now that you mention it, I'm not sure which was worse; the Microsoft or the Konami press conference.
