Zune HD Videos and Previews
I love my Zune. I have been a part of the ipod generation, but the Zune is a great product especially because of the Zune Music service. I am excited about the Zune HD. I am going to buy one as soon as it becomes available. Until I get the chance to fork over my money for one of these units I will have to be content watching some other people touch them on YouTube. So here goes.

Xbox 360 knocks them dead at E3 with NATAL
I just finished watching the E3 show on the new Xbox releases for 2009. They really are coming out with some great stuff. There were some decent games coming out and it was good to see Metal Gear finally hit the Xbox console, but the real news was with the new controller. That controller might just take a huge chunk from Nintendo. It looked amazing. It recognizes who you are, and allows you to interact with the screen without a controller. That will be huge for some of the games like Oblivion for instance where you come up to characters at different points in the game. Using this controller you will be able to talk directly to the characters and have them communicate back. Plus they will recognize you when they see you a second time. Very cool technology.
The other thing that I am excited for is the ability to watch a movie with your friends over Live. You can hang out and talk with them while watching a flick. That is a really cool feature that I think many people will enjoy. Also it is great to see that they will expand on the Netflix system and get rid of the need to use the computer to select movies. That has always been a bit of a problem.
Good job Xbox.
