Watch the other parts as well for more ingame footages: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFHhJP-V ... re=related

The other parts can be found in the right bar. The fourth and fifth part have the most ingame footage.

With no Xbox (at the repair shop) I have been forced to play the Wii, specifically, Grand Slam Tennis. Forgot how damn good/fun this game is (bonus: a ton of people are still playing online). Hopefully EA is currently wrapping their tennis brains around Xbox Kinect®©TM. End result could be a very cool/fun (ITST friendly) game.

Other E3 News...

Microsoft's new Xbox 360 model ships immediately. It's not officially dubbed the Xbox 360 Slim, but it's smaller than its predecessors and includes a 250 GB hard drive and built-in wireless. Previous models had only wired Ethernet jacks and maxed out at 120 GB hard drives. The new Xbox 360, which comes only in black, sells for the same $300 as the current Xbox 360 Elite.

Also at E3, Sony announced PlayStation Plus, an online subscription service that expands its PlayStation Network.

Launching on June 29, the pay service will offer gamers a chance to play exclusive and preview versions of top games, ramping up Sony's bid to compete with the Xbox Live network from Microsoft.

A 90-day subscription to the service will cost $17.99 and will go for about $50 a year.

Microsoft hasn't released a price for its Kinect motion-controller, but online rumors suggest the Xbox add-on may cost about $150 to $400.

:shock: :shock: Too much!

Agreed, I won't be buying an add-in for that price, no matter how cool it turns it out to be. $50 is probably my limit, especially where my video-game-playing is at right now.

$150 is basically the upper limit of what I would pay for Kinect.

$400??? You are on crack, Microsoft. I'll just buy an ounce of weed with that and pretend, thank you very much.

i pay nothing for that now ,coz for me ....i´m not interrested for this.
also its way to early to buy that .
no good games are available in nearly future who interresting me .

by the way i also hate this virtuelle WII sportgames or this remote controll at all

i will play relaxed with my wireless controller from my couch -and not jumping active arround like in a fittness room .

also when you wait 1-2 years maybe till good second wave games are out KINECT is much cheaper .
but also than i will not buy it

maybe when i can play in year 2029 on xbox generation9 a game like MODERN WARFACE 17 with a real adapter weapon over kinect in a real 3D scenario - than i will buy it .
only than -
okay maybe i´m than to old to play videogames :cry:
