Microsoft Press Conference

It was awesome, that is all.

Okay, a little more.

This years conference was worlds better than last years. The Netflix partnership is what I’ve been hoping for, it’s going to rule. I’ve wanted to use the on demand feature on my TV since it started. It’s just a matter of time until they can up the resolution for playback. THANK YOU for only requiring a Netflix sub, so awesome. Sick to get new movies on DVD and catalog shit whenever (they have a lot too).

Also awesome is MS coming out of left field with the best and essential parts of Home without the horseshit. Unless Sony says Home is coming out in the fall, they’ve just been bitch slapped something fierce.

I don’t mind how the new dash looks, don’t know how themes will be integrated and I think it’ll take some hands on time to see if it really works better. If it does, I’m all for it. The guide being like the blade is cool to, since I like the blade dashboard.

Fallout 3 was disappointing, GOW2 looks fucking AWESOME (Horde mode sounds great), Fable 2 looks a lot better than the last time I saw it. Stupid demo though, way too short and didn’t show anything new. The co-op “glowing orb to join” thing was pretty wild though. The new Portal expansion is a really big get. And RE5 is looking great. Reminds me of RE0 though.

At this rate I wouldn’t be surprised if a blu-ray drive wasn’t coming.

And FF13 is shocking, didn’t think Sony would let that happen. Sony has to have something tomorrow to counter it.
