now for the biggest news:
Xbox is taking gaming far beyond the next level and setting the bar for future gaming. Introducing codename Natal which is a new adapter that lets you play games and control your xbox without a controller. This full body, voice and facial recognition kit will revolutionize how we play games, using your whole body to play games. Walk in front of your xbox to turn in on and it will recognize who u are and sign you in. You will be able to fully control your avatar and the dashboard using your hand to scroll around and launch games. its really hard to explain how cool this looked and the few games they showed but it blew me away and my jaw hit the floor when they showed what will be possible to do when it is released... no release date yet.
Most of the videos are on the marketplace right now I suggest going there to see most of what i talked about above.
I'm sure I might have missed a couple things but this is most of what I remember/wrote down!looks like owning an xbox is really paying off !
