Tons of games, trailers and ideas were shown at this years E3 2009 Microsoft Press Conference, but I'm going to do my best to sum everything up as clear as possible.
New Reveals
Microsoft’s Project Natal launches a new generation of controller allowing you to play games, chat, move through the dashboard watch movies and more by using only your hands and body.
Check out the reveal trailer here or get more information here, and from what I've seen so far, it is as good as it looks. Also check out an interactive AI named milo created by lionhead studios using Project Natal.
Facebook and Twitter come to Xbox live! Yes both social networking sites will be integrated fully with Xbox live. This means that you can view your friends updates post to your wall view pictures and video and even take in game screenshots and upload them to your wall.
