I wish the PS3 was able to do YT vids in HD. The quality is never good enough for full screen. And when you move the cursor, things tend to stutter.

That's what I want announced for E3. A better web browser, because the one in the PS3 is beginning to struggle with the demands of the internet. It doesn't even work properly for Sony's own site FFS.

There's a sizable thread on NeoGAF about a new PS3 browser since last year...right now lots of detectives/nerds in the thread are starting to see evidence an all-new browser is on the way.

I think it's because wearing sunglasses indoors automatically makes you a douche.

I was about to post the same thing. I only found it last week, but it's been brilliant! The website itself looks like crap, but the videos work perfectly.

Hope that's not the full extent of Microsoft's wares otherwise I have little to look forward to from them.

That list does nothing for me whatsoever. Halo is great news for fans of the series obviously, but there's nothing there to entice people that weren't already fans of MS's core franchises. It's the same bloody line-up as 5 years ago.

Kinect Sports Season 2 & Dance Central 2 were both clear sequels, but Christ where's the new, 'next wave' stuff? Hopefully this isn't the full list.
