In all fairness, the Natal press briefing was a bit of a letdown. Apart from the unveiling of the actual name, Kinetic, the Cirque de Soliel acrobatics, and a few unnamed, possible games, nothing was announced that wowed the crowd. Microsoft kept on referring to the device as Project Natal throughout the briefing, and the "demos" all looked like pre-canned fare. There's no release date and no price range (rumored to be at a fairly high $190); the most exciting part was when we met Peter Moore outside of the auditorium.
Half of the WP crew arrived in LA today, some more tomorrow, and then we head off to more press briefings (EA, Microsoft, Ubisoft etc.).

Sorry for the downtime yesterday. We had planned on moving the server to a new location sometime this weekend, but I did not realize it was going to be Friday night! Either way, the move went without a glitch, and we should be seeing some better performance. It's already better on my end, so everybody is happy.
Last night, we went out to celebrate my birthday. A good time was had by all, plenty of food and drinks, laughter and, of course, adult and racist jokes (We even had all the ethnic groups present, which made it even more fun).
Now we're packing and off to Los Angeles for the E3 craziness.
