Microsoft unveiled their amazing new platform at E3. Some next level shiz. No more controllers, facial / body / voice recognition. You control with your body, hands and voice.

The technology is cool. I have a Wii and a PS3 and to be honest with you the novelty of the Wii wore off and I just perfer to be lazy and sit on the couch while playing the PS3.

That's the same thing that happened here, and to a certain extent Rock Band for the 360. If I'm going to put all the effort into it, I may as well learn to play a real instrument.

With that said, this is a whole nother level. Voice recognition and control is about as lazy as it gets.

Neat, I have my questions though. So I'll wait for a more in depth detail description.

I'm in the same boat Haugy. Let's see how much of it is real, what it really means, etc.

Is it better than the Wii Motion Plus?
The "wand" for PS3?

I really don't know. I love the ideas coming from E3 this year.

And oh God... I am so glad Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be coming out next year!

I need this for my house. Turn off lights, Open door, Turn on TV, Bring me a Beer...ETC. Would be fun to have...But I have one Question, the boy playing the "Monster destroying the town," What does he do when he walks all the way up to the TV? Does the Monster walk backwards if he does?
