E3 will return next year, and it better be kick-ass. Nintendo had…Wii Music. Microsoft had some good stuff to offer, but not great, and Sony…well, let’s not get into that.
And I can almost guarantee that if next year’s E3 isn’t a success, we’ll turn to E for All (aka E4) for our new console and game announcements from the big 3.
The interesting thing to me, is that there’s an ongoing countdown. Currently, for me, it’s at 1:15:30:20 (1 day, 15 hours, 30 minutes, 20 seconds). That’s 10 AM, July 16, 2008…hmmm….
That’s right Xbox 360 owners, you will be able to stream EVERY NETFLIX MOVIE. That’s right, EVERY NETFLIX MOVIE. The whole Netflix Library at the press of a button. Also, there will be no nadditional costs except for a regular Netflix subscription.

NINTENDO INTRODUCES THE WII™ MOTIONPLUS
July 14, 2008
Nintendo’s upcoming Wii™ MotionPlus accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote™ controller again redefines game control, by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space. The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion. Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play. The Wii MotionPlus accessory reconfirms Nintendo’s commitment to making games intuitive and accessible for everyone. Nintendo will reveal more details about the Wii MotionPlus accessory and other topics Tuesday morning at its E3 media briefing.
