-Netflix being added directly to the dashboard
-Live Party friends can watch Netflix vids with you over the net
-New Primetime section allows users to play Live gameshows with friends
-Full retail disc games can be dumped to the HDD to cut down load times and disc spinning noises. The disc still has to be in as proof of ownership of course.
-16x10 resolutions supported over VGA and HDMI
-Marketplace can browsed via a normal web browser, and content can be sent directly to the 360 console from there.

-Guitar Hero: World Tour will get exclusive rights to Van Halen and the Eagles tracks
-GH3 (and GH:WT) will get Metallica's new album day-and-date with the standard release
-EBA (and Ouendan) developers Inis are creating Lips for 360. Think Singstar, but with wireless mics and the ability to pull songs from your iPod or Zune and sing them in game. Includes 2 wireless, light-up, motion sensitive mics.

-Scene It? Box Office Smash! coming this year, with Avatar support
-You're In the Movies announced, a camera-based family title where you play EyeToy style minigames and then get cut into a movie. Will ship with a Vision camera.

Whoa. I hope it's good game but I hope it will be for the Wii than PS3.

I don't think that'll happen, they'd really have to tone down the graphics and everything.

Why would you hope it would come out on one console than another? I'd prefer it if it came out on all consoles.

And that's a lot of updates for the dashboard...

Somebody's parents should buy their kid an XBox360, I think... <<

Seriously though... I like this dashboard change.
Resident Evil 5, i really wish it was on PS3 and XBox360, even if the release is later on(on the 360), I'd like to see a push for it.

I hated the new dashboard at first too, but think about it. The blades is so clunky and slow and really shitty when you think about it. This will run a lot smoother.

I actually just got an Xbox 360 Elite, and...the dashboard runs at super speed, so...not idea what you're talking about. Anyway, this is sounds pretty cool, Fable 2 and FFXIII are both sounding good.

I still haven't heard anything from Lucasarts though, I wonder what they've got up their sleeve this year...

I'm glad they're bringing back online play, but how long will the servers be up, and will we get voice chat? (The Ad-Libs for RE:OB were horrible.)

So, there was some stuff here and there, but overall I think it's very safe to say this was by far one of the worst E3's ... ever. Incredibly boring.

Not really surprised I guess, since it's just been getting progressively worse and worse every year and the lack of company interest doesn't help either.

And no booth babes

Actually I think I read on Kotaku that there were booth babes...or maybe that was E for all? I am not sure.

Sure the PS3 has its super-upcoming of FPS games on the market, but MAG looks to be a very interesting MMOFPS (Methinks) so far. Plus Sony is bringing out some kinda kiddy MMORPG that is available for free.

I agree with Xeo about the whole E3 being super booring. If Sony announced Home and LBP this year, it would have been totally different. But nooooo, they had to launch their guns a little early diddnt they?

I like the new PSN Video store however, was a nice addition!

Actually yeah, Kotaku mentioned one company had both babes. And of all people, it was Nyko.

Yum.

Would have been epic if the carpet's matched the drapes. However, that is something only anime people can have.

Maybe the Japanese.

Ok, so does anyone see any problems at all with the dashboard change?

Maybe...
Oh. I dunno...

Every single time Microsoft updates the dashboard, even slightly, a new wave of 360's red ring.

Good luck guys.

Seriously...
