And Microsoft wrapped up their press conference a couple of hours ago … so what did they announce? Well they’re overhauling the blade navigation system and introducing Avatars … which basically means that they’re taking one part of the PS3 and one part of the Wii and putting them together … result? I’m not too sure just yet … my first impression upon seeing it was that it looked a LOT like Vista and it’s Aero design … which I wasn’t overly fond of … I did regress my desktop from Vista to XP after all …
They talked a lot about new social games … Guitar Hero World Tour, Rockband 2, SceneIt … they also mentioned a couple of the big blockbuster titles coming out … like Gears 2 … so really all in all? I was left with a bit of a ‘meh’ …
About the only thing which was worthwhile was the announcement of a partnership with Netflix … which would be a really cool service to be able to stream … however I hope that they actually make that available outside of the US … because when they make announcements like partnerships with NBC, it’s only good in the States … sigh …
Little Baby B is doing fine … she’s getting over a really bad diaper rash … it’s had her up at really odd hours and has thrown her mom and me for a loop … but we’re getting through it …
