E306 Sadly Ends

Wow, it's been a good E3. I have not attended, but I have rounded up a lot of good stuff in my google reader feed. I didn't star everything E3 related, but some of the cool stuff I tagged. I'd have to agree with the most of the people that I've talked to and comments that I've read summarizing the Sony Playstation 3 debut was less than stellar. Their controller was less than exciting, the games they showed were nowhere near the level they should be to have a November release, and their online service was a cheap knock off of the great service that is Xbox Live.

I'm usually the last to say anything good about Microsoft, but the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live have been amazing! Daily updates with trailers of the games on the show floor and a few playable demos made it feel like I was practically there without ever leaving my living room. Kudos!

Check out IGN.com for some good coverage. Also, if you're into the Xbox 360 scene hit up MajorNelson.com and read his blog. For LOTS of good media from E3 check out Xboxyde.com and Playsyde.com. Lots of fun stuff happened and I'm not really going to talk about it other than check out the Lost Planet Demo on Xbox Live!
