E3 2008
Weekly Top 10: iPhone 3G, E3 2008, Intel Centrino 2
Despite activation problems the
iPhone 3G sold over 1
million over the first weekend. The
App Store proved to
be a big hit, but there are reports that the iPhone 2.0 software has
issues that call for a new firmware soon.
The video game industry gathered this week in LA for the
E3 2008. The
announcements mostly focused on upcoming games and movie download
services. The Xbox 360
will feature Netflix and Sony launched already their own
Video Store on the
Playstation Network.
The Xbox 360 gets a new cool looking
3D dashboard and 3D avatars.
Nintendo announced a little accessory dubbed
MotionPlus. There
is hope that the E3 2009
will be more exciting again.

Booth Babes spotted at E3 2008
We all thought after the E3 2006 that Booth Babes will never show up again at the new small E3. Last year no booth babe was seen. Now in a surprising turn of events, Kotaku spotted booth babes at the E3 2008.
Nyko has two very red booth babes at their E3 2008 booth. Did ESA not see them yet? Little description: red call girl booths, with hot pants, red top, and red wig, like the lovely Miss IFA.

Nintendo E3 2008 Briefing had no big Announcements
Nintendo is just too successful to have to announce big new things. That is my take away from the Nintendo E3 2008 briefing.
The sales numbers of the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS are amazing and the associated software sales too. In a state where the U.S. consumer still cannot order a Wii from Amazon for $249, big new announcements are just not necessary.

We are about 30 minutes into the Microsoft E3 2008 briefing and we have seen several demos of upcoming first person shooters. The demos highlight co-op gaming capabilities via Xbox Live.
The games shown so far include Resident Evil 5, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2 and Fable II.
The games look better every year and they have more cool features, but nothing revolutionary.

Wii MotionPlus revealed at E3 2008
Nintendo announced the Wii MotionPlus at the E3 2008 just in time to take away attention from the Microsoft E3 briefing.
Nintendo Wii MotionPlus accessory for the Wii Remote controller redefines game control, by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space. The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with a higher level of precision and immersion.
