Microsoft E3 2011 Discussion Thread (Press - 6/6)

My take:

"Winning" E3 these days means your story winds up in mainstream sources. When the Huffington Post is reporting about the new Wii (which they were yesterday) then that is exposure to a lot of people. I am curious to see what MS can pull off to get the attention of consumers. Did they spend it all on Kinect last year? Will they have some kind of surprise that no one sees coming? As a gamer I can only hope they show off a few surprises that get me excited. I would love to hear Knights of the Old Republic is going to come to the 360.

If that happened, which I doubt but would love, it would be after Mass Effect 3 and The Old Republic come out.

There are a lot of games on the horizon, and while MS will tout there new peripherals like possible internet TV and new brands being added, I'm sure they will incorporate what is at the core of the 360, and that is gaming.

These things have become so content rich I find it impossible to be disappointed.

To me, I see it somewhat like the PS3 and its bluray player... I could have a bluray player, or I could have a bluray player that also lets me play games. Now, I could theoretically get rid of my cable box, and instead have a cable box that also plays games.

For someone like me, who already has a PS3 and cable tv, this could be who they are looking to suck into the 360 world. I have tv anyway, why not also be able to play some other games that I previously couldn't?

I really couldn't care less about this XBOX diamond. There is no way I will ever be getting this. The xbox is on enough as it is, this is all unnescesary to me.

But whatever... as long as I get to see some stuff that I am interested in like actual games and the improvement of kinect games.

I think im looking forward to sony more than microsoft this year even though I play my xbox much more than my PS3.

I'm kind of interested in the Diamond service if it is cheap and everything is HD. Doesn't mean I'll get it, but they have my attention.

It's like the '06 conference when everything leaked prior. Interested to see what 343 does with Halo 4.
