The fact is that this press conference is pretty damn awesome. I'd be posting more in relation to it in the immediate term, but I'm bogged down with some other crap right now. The G4TV feed incidentally (what I'm watching it on) sucks. But, it's good enough that I can see there is a lot of good stuff following the 60GB unit launch.

New Avatar/Dashboard looks awesome. What a great win for this Netflix to be official. Want a great value add if you already have netflix and a 360.
Live Party is great, and glad that finally implemented something like this. The good news is you can stay chatting no matter what anyone is doing/playing. |

Does Netflix require a Vista PC or is it completely on the 360? Curious how this would work with marketplace rentals since they are offering the same thing.

There's also a technical consideration here. Originally FFXIII was on the so-called White Engine. SE bought into UE3 for cross-platform. Have they moved FFXIII over to UE3, or are they creating a White Engine for PS3?
All in all, MS do seem serious about pursuing other markets. Co-op featured in pretty much everything, and they had their share of 'different' games.
