Everybody and their mother knows that Square Enix is making FFX111 for 360 now.It’s only being made in English territories and not being released in Japan on 360.I’m guessing that has to do with Microsoft’s terrible 360 sales in Japan. No way this was a surprise for the Sony inner circle,but definitely a blow to the Final Fantasy PS3 fans. Is it the death of Sony? No. Today is Sony’s chance to make it up,so we’ll see.Personally,I do not care as I’m not a big fan of JRPGs and these days,exclusives are going the way of the dinosaur unless you are owned by that console maker.
Halo Wars slips to 09.Not really a surprise,but it’s looking better.I may be interested.
Lips is a Singstaresque game that will incorporate your own music that you can sing along with.Interesting
The 360 is getting a dashboard change in the fall with new functions such as Wii Mii like Avatars,Photos,party system.Impressive!!
Bethesdas(my boys!)title Fallout 3 will have exclusive 360 DLC.(I’m a little sad as I wanted to pick this up on PS3)
Gears of War still on 2 player co-op,but 5 player MP online.
XBLA News Geometry Wars 2,Galaga Remake,OG Banjo Kazooie,Uno Rush
Rockband 2 is a “timed”exclusive.Don’t worry PS3 folks you’ll get it like a month later
Netflix joins the 360.You need Live and a Netflix membership,nothing else
Fable 2 comes in October(still have to wait to see this happen)
360 gets a 60gb sku at the old Pro 20gb price of $349
Well,that’s just a little summary.Sony and Nintendo’s Pressers come out today,so we’ll see what bombs they drop and they will..

Looks like Jeff Rubenstein is going to lay out a plan for the store this week.More content? New videos? I’m intrigued! Plus a big update on a game they haven’t been talking about? MGS4 or Warhawk..Probably that MGS4 is getting trophies..

Well,I put my bets up on the Kotaku betting post for E3,but I figured I would post up a few things I expect to see from each of the big three.I think next weeks E3 will be one of the most exciting we have seen personally.Last year was sort of a let down,so we can only go up from there.
Nintendo:
1. Animal Crossing: Its gonna happen and don’t forget the new version of Punch out with the Wii Fit board
2. Nitendy is going to mention a solution to the harddrive issue
3. Reggie is going to tell us production is being ramped up and you’ll be able to find a Wii(good luck!!)
4. A new DS?? Don’t think so,but how about some Wii connectivity
5. Nintendo is going to mention that are taking over the world
Microsoft
1.Banjo and Viva get a special price point
2. Yes,we’re going to see the motion controller!
3. A redesign of the dashboard perhaps?
4. Halo Wars playable..still not impressed yet
5. Whats going on with all the Halo titles and what the hell is Bungie working on.
6. Alan Wake???? Doubt it
Sony
1.God of War 3 teaser..
2. Home coming sooner than November
3. Wipeout HD is in the store next week
4. Multiple PSN store updates
5. Added Trophy support for titles
6.Twisted Metal?
7.Video Store,Music and PS2 titles in store

The Too Human Demo hits next week during E3.I’ll try it,but I can’t say I’m so excited about this title.Dennis Dyack has been involved in a battle with Neogaf posters about this title.I encourage you to listen to the 1up yours podcast from last week.They have Dennis on and he explains what his thinking was on calling out commenters on Neogaf.Definitely,a interesting guy to listen to,whether you care about the game or not.
