Microsoft's E3 Press Conference

The video store will now be Zune-branded with 1080p instant-on streaming content in 18 countries. UK and Ireland gamers will also get to stream live TV, thanks to Sky. There will also be Facebook, Twitter and Last.FM integration.


Motion sensor, Natal gets unveiled! It's a combination of a camera and a sensor bar that just plugs directly into the 360. You will be able to scroll through windows/pages with just the flick of your hand. Apparently, Natal will pick up who you are and automatically sign you into LIVE.

Natal recognizes faces, body movements, objects, and even voices in order to integrate the player into the gaming environment. Examples shown at the conference include a boy holding up a skateboard, which then appeared on the screen, with the boy then riding said board by just swaying back and forth on his own two feet; two women trying on virtual clothes using a camera image of themselves; facial recognition; voice control; buzzing in to 1 VS 100 by raising a hand; and even browsing the NXE using hand controls as in the movie Minority Report.


Also demoed, was a painting app, which lets you use your entire body to handle virtual painting supplies, allowing you to do things like throw buckets of paint onto a canvas. A title was also shown off which showcases a women interacting with a young boy on the screen -- one of the company's more creepy demos in recent memory.
