Partygoers ponder the highs and lows of Microsoft's press briefing
Last night, at a media event for Xbox Canada, we took a few minutes to grab reactions from community sites about Microsoft's Pre-E3 press briefing. Unsurprisingly, many of the responses we received when we asked enthusiast blogs about the announcements the topic eventually led to Project Natal. Sure, the tech looks impressive but will it deliver ... but the major question? Why couldn't we sneak a peak at the upcoming sequels to Assassin's Creed and BioShock? Now it's your turn, what were your high and low points to Microsoft's opening press briefing?
White House press conference overwhelmed by cell phones
Quick note: if you can't figure out how to set your phone to vibrate during a tense White House press conference, at least learn to turn the damn thing off. Video after the break.P.S.- We're actually more amazed at the second guy, who not only interrupts the briefing, but walks out of the room to take the call. Cojones!

X06 brief, see it again for the first time [update 1]
If you were unable to catch the live webcast of Microsoft's X06 briefing, it's now available on Xbox.com (links directly to video). We've given you some snippets of it already, but now you can get the whole enchilada (mmm ... enchiladas). The briefing was filled with lots of glitz, glamour, and video, things that were lacking in a certain other keynote at TGS earlier this month. Viva Piñata, Gears of War, Blue Dragon, you name it. If it's a big game, it's there. Check it out, if you're so inclined.Update: It looks like the link wouldn't play nice with our interface. Should be fixed now. Click here.
