Yeah, the videos are from Warner Music. They showed Madonna on it. Hopefully, by some miracle, you can use your own.

Hopefully. That'd be great if you could set it to use custome soundtracks.

Jeez. Looks like Im gonna be buying all 3 consoles.

If it was genuinely exclusive, why would he say play it 'first' on 360, rather than 'only on 360'?

The episodic content thing is exclusive, but R* have previously banged on about wanting the space blu-ray provides.

360HDTV add-on killer app?

Halo 3 Trailer

We declare it the best kept secret ever.

well i just came back from streaming the nintendo con

i have to say, im a tad underwhelmed, even if they were light years ahead of sony's trainwreck, i gotta say, im very interested in this stuff, but because of the horrid stream quality i couldnt make heads or tails of the graphics, i literally didnt see any major difference between DS and Wii streams

anyway, red steel looks very cool, virtual katana fighting FTW

This looks good:

is that confirmed? it looks great

very well suited for nes/snes virtual console games, should also work for cube games, and traditional style rev games

The Halo 3 trailer looks very kickass.

i just downloaded the halo and fable 2 trialers, conclusions:

1. halo 3 looks very nice, its gonna be a nice showcase for the 360's power
2. i am buying a 360 when fable 2 comes out! i dont give a fuck if once again fable might not be 100% what its gonna be hyped to be, even if its 80% of what this trailer promisses, i want it!

Halo 3, Lumines Live, Fable 2.

Zelda Wii.

Sony's tilt sensor and $600 price tag.

Just thinking here, wouldn't it be possible for Sony to do the same thing as with DOA2?

They might simply give it a different name and use the extra space BluRay provides to put on the stuff you have to DL onto the Xbox?

This E3 has shown me some nice things, however I am now doubting about the Wii, it simply doesn't look as appealing to me anymore. Red Steel looked nice, but the swordplay sucked imo. Just some swipes... YAY... By the looks of it it didn't really look like a big adrenaline rush to me, it was way too simplistic.

Also, what was there to indicate I actually hit an enemy? That swipe effect? Sorry but that's not what I want to see, at least let it show on the thing I'm slashing at. The whole environment is destructable, it wouldn't be that hard to tear up his clothes or show some cuts on the enemy, would it?

If they ain't gonna tune that game, I'll stick with Sword of Berserk

Just like I will stick with Virtua Tennis 2.

Thats what worries me about third-party stuff on Wii. That Red Steel didnt look too amazing, and if companies try something new and different with Wii's controllers, then end up getting meh reviews, there would be no reason why they wouldnt just not bother again, give up, and carry on with PS3 and 360 instead.

I was hoping Nintendo would blow everyone away, but they didn't really...

So, uh, thoughts on all three:

Sony: It's exactly like the PS2, with new graphics, and a few stolen ideas. If it wasn't for their exceptional third party support I'd write it off completely. I wonder if it comes with 20 bar graphs preinstalled to show how amazing it is.

Nintendo: Some good stuff, but the two versions of Twilight Princess is kind of useless, and the lack of a price, and a date killed the train of awesomeness for me. I had a pretty bad stream so I'll check other stuff out.

Microsoft: They did better than I thought, actually. If those rumors of a price drop are true, which they aren't, I'd consider getting one around Christmas.

<sarcasm>Yes because I don't have a huge pile of ps2 games on my floor along with my Gamecube games....</sarcasm>

Sure there are some good games for the ps2, just like any other console, but just walk into Gamestop and look around and you'll see so much utter crap sitting on the shelves for $10.
yeah most are gamecube games
Wrong.
Seriously. Walk the racks and you will see endless ps2 games from 1.99-9.99. Try that on the gamecube rack and you might get some multi platform sports titles, but otherwise, not really.

maybe because the fact the games are old not the fact of suckage.

seriously you nintedo fanboys are tards
