Kinect preorders 'very low' - UK retailer
courtesy of Gamespot
Microsoft confirmed a November 4 launch for its Kinect motion-sensing camera peripheral at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, but it didn't nail down a price for the device. Despite the lack of official word, US retailers began taking preorders for Kinect at $150, and while Microsoft declined to make the number official, it opened up its own preorders at the same price point. Now one retailer is saying that price is too high, and preorders have suffered as a result.
In an interview with Eurogamer, ShopTo CEO Igor Cipolletta told the site the number of Kinect preorders the retail chain has received is "very low." As for the pricing, ShopTo currently offers the Kinect for €153.75 ($188), while the executive pointed out that a Wii can be had for just a little more. ShopTo's online site is currently sold out of Nintendo's hardware, but the Wii Sports Resort bundle ordinarily sells for €166 ($203).
"It's too high," Cipolletta said of the Kinect price. "We believe that with this current economy it should be around £70 ($105)."
When Kinect arrives, Microsoft expects 15 games to launch alongside the device. First-party offerings include Kinect Adventures, Kinectimals, Kinect Joy Ride, and Kinect Sports. A number of third parties are also on board, developing such titles as EA Sports Active 2, Konami's DanceMasters, and Sega's Sonic Freeriders. Publishers have also promised postlaunch support, such as a Star Wars game from LucasArts, Q?'s Child of Eden, and THQ's UFC Trainer.

Power A Makes a Wireless Xbox 360 Controller for the PS3

This is the best PlayStation 3 controller right now, precisely because it's not shaped like a PS3 controller.
Power A spent a good deal of time taking what's best about the Xbox 360 controller—the most natural "traditional" controller—and bringing it to the PS3. It's called the PS3 Pro Elite, and it's only $50. You have your left analog stick up on the top left and D-Pad down on the bottom. The palm parts extend much lower, and are coated with a grippy, but breathable material, which makes a huge difference when you play games for hours on end.
The only thing that Power A didn't bring over from the 360 are the shoulder buttons. The L1, R1 buttons are more mushy, and the L2 and R2 shoulder buttons are super mushy, like the PS3's. This is my only complaint—I wish they went all the way and brought the Xbox's triggers over.
Oh, and you still get Sixaxis capabilities, so there really is no sacrifice. Plus you get glowing buttons, and true wireless, albeit a third-party wireless that you need a dongle for. The dongle is included.
For a cheaper, wired solution, Power A has a $20 controller that sacrifices stuff like Sixaxis, but still gives you the 360-style shape that will be great for secondary and tertiary and quaternary controllers that you only use when friends come over. [Power A]

ESPN to Deliver Programming Over Xbox Live
courtesy of kotaku
Microsoft and ESPN have struck a deal delivering exclusive sports programming to Xbox Live. The partnership will deliver more than 3,500 sports events, most of which will be in high definition.
ESPN anchors Trey Wingo and Josh Elliot took the stage to demonstrate the service, which will be free to Xbox Live Gold subscribers. Highlights from last year's USC-Ohio State college football game and game two of this year's NBA Finals were shown, indicating that the service should offer top sporting events also being broadcast on the main network. The service will also offer polls, trivia and other content inline with the broadcasts.

Scribblenauts is the Best Game of E3?
My friends and I don't play many handheld games, so even though Scribblenauts looks original and fun I didn't feel it was worth mentioning. BUT, considering some of the big dogs of the video game world (GameSpot, IGN, and GameSpy) have unanimously chosen this small, portable GameBoy DS game as the Best of E3 (!?!?), I guess I might as well write something about it.
It appears to be a typical side-scrolling game (ala Super Mario Bros.) which some neat twists thrown in. As stated by Wikipedia:
"Scribblenauts is an exclusively side-scrolling game controlled entirely with the Nintendo DS stylus. The player controls a character called Maxwell, who must collect objects called "Starites". Maxwell is guided by tapping the touchscreen, or if the player taps an object, Maxwell will pick it up."
The most amusing feature of the game is the ability to "summon" a vast array of objects to use. For instance, if a player sees a gap in the terrain ahead, he can type in "bridge" and a bridge appears that allows the player to place it over the gap and cross safely. You may assume that the number of objects is limited, but that was the appeal and attraction of the game at E3. People were constantly trying to find words that the game would not recognize, but were amazed at the extensive vocabulary packed into this little handheld game. *video below*
Not impressed? Well, the guys who called this the "Best of E3" have a pretty good track record. Here is a list of their previously announced "Best of E3".

E3 '09 Surpirse: Just Cause 2 Looks Amazing!
The first game (Just Cause) was good, but not all that popular. It's sequel was a low-profile title that looks to be one of the best kept secrets of E3. The following video is kind of long, but even if you watch just the first 30 seconds, you will see how freakin awesome it looks. *video below*

E3 Preview: PS3 Exclusive M.A.G.(Massive Action Game)
I almost forgot to mention this game from E3. M.A.G. is a PS3 exclusive. It's name stands for Massive Action Game and instead of supporting a typical 16 player game (ala Halo 3), it will support 256 players. That is not a typo. There will be 256 players (128 per team) fighting for one objective. Surprisingly it looks very good and at E3 the creators of the game showcased some of the features of the game. *video below*

E3 '09 Spotlight: BioWare reveals Knights of the Old Republic (online game)
Title says it all. This is BioWare making a Star Wars game. And an online Star Wars game in the same vein as WoW. Which translates into Gaming-Awesomeness. The video below does not show gameplay footage, but the video is freakin awesome looking regardless. People are saying this cinematic is better than Episodes I - III combined.
