A lot of news has come out of E3 already, and it’s only been one day of presentations so far. With all of the news, and all of the words, it’s hard to know what exactly we should care about and what we should read. While the details in all of our posts are great, and helpful for understanding what happened today, here’s the short, colloquial summaries of the news we got today.

• New Xbox is out. 250GB built in, WiFi, same price. Super super quiet. It’s out /now/. Well, this week- they’re shipping them out now. Everyone in the audience got a free one. E3 10: Australian Xbox 360 Slim Price Confirmed. They’re redoing all the Xbox models as the new one. I want it.
• Natal is Kinect, coming at launch with 15 titles. $149.99, regular prices games. November 4th.
• There’s a new dashboard compatible with Kinect, so you can wave your hands in front of the Kinect and control your movies, Xbox dashboard, music, etc. Video chat with Kinect. Looks neato.

• Ghost Recon: Future Warrior. Set in the future. You can go invisible and do close range combat.
• Ubisoft is making a lazer tag game called BattleTag. Not for any console, it’s just laser tag.
