Kinect is everywhere!

Kinect in Splinter Cell
Kinect in Fifa
Kinect in Madden

Haters gonna hate!

Xbox music officially announced. Coming to PC, Xbox, and ----- phones.

Zune pretty much guaranteed dead.

Zune is front and center on the official Xbox page... Xbox Music - Xbox.com

Smart Glass shows greater integration between mobile devices and the 360. They video integration looks good, not sure about the game integration, although it looked good for Madden. Should be interesting to see how much freedom they allow with Internet Explorer. Using Smart Glass to get more functionality from my phone and Win 8 tablet seems it could be really big in the future.

But will it be there when Xbox Music launches in the fall?

Looks to me that if you're interested in what E3 has for Windows Phone then their new Smart Glass tech is where it's at.

You won't know much about WP8 until the 20th.

Love my Xbox/kinect! I just wish it supported 3D blu-ray movies. That way I can get rid of my ps3 and have one less box on the shelf.

I hope SmartGlass will let us use our phone keyboards to type on the Xbox.

I doubt there will ever be a Blu Ray capable Xbox because Blu Rays are too little too late. Blu Ray sales are less than projected and most people would rather pay 4.99 to stream a 1080p movie once on Vudu than buy a $30 Blu Ray. Behind the scenes content isn't a big enough deciding factor for most people and tech like Smart Glass handles that anyway.

Do they even put 3D movies in DVD format anymore? All I see are Blu-rays. And price has come down a lot. For $30-$35, you usually get a 3-disc pack with DVD, 3D Blu-ray, and digital download. So I don't think Blu-ray is going anywhere.

Same here.

I've never even heard of a 3D movie on DVD, only Blu-Ray. It may exist, but if so, it must be pretty rare.

Yeah I hope we can use the keyboard too, plus would be great if you will be able to use in game chat with your phone whilst in multi-player etc.

It's not a definite, but the next Xbox, rumored to be the 720, is rumored to have a BD drive. Good for storage space, but they need to overcome the slow data transfer speeds.
