Electonics Gaming Expo (E3), Microsoft key-note.

E3 began today, and I am not going to write much about it simply because during E3 there is just too much exciting news and I could write a 10 page paper on just the happenings of day 1. So I am just going to tell you the couple of things that I found exciting during the Microsoft presentation today. One being the facebook/twitter implementation in to the xbox, this is an extremely smart move on Microsofts part, millions of people use both of these networking tools and bringing them to the xbox will be nothing but helpful to Microsoft, it isnt a system seller, but it will make things a bit more convenient for gamers to keep up with their social networking. Another huge announcement today was Metal Gear Solid coming to the xbox, Metal Gear was one of the biggest games that the Playstation 3 had over the xbox and now it is on both consoles. If anyone remembers correctly Microsoft had similar news at last years E3 with Square Enix and Final Fantasy. I found it a bit odd that there wasnt much said about this. Kojima went on stage, told us of the announcement, and finally, walked off of the stage, nothing more was said. This is most likely due to the fact that the new Metal Gear will not be an xbox exclusive. Being an owner of both consoles I have to say, when the game is released, I will be purchasing it for the Playstation 3. Thats about all I have for today, I'm not going to get in to the EA conference neither will I the Ubisoft conference (which I am watching while reading this). I will be back tomorrow to put forth my opinions on the Nintendo/Playstation 3 conferences. Enjoy the rest of E3
