Top 5 Reasons Xbox 360 Ruled E3

June 4th, 2009

Once again, Microsoft dominated E3. Here are the top 5 reasons to stay excited about the Xbox 360 console:

  1. Share Netflix movies – Create a party and watch a Netflix movie with your friends. 
  2. Left 4 Dead 2 – 4 new characters, 5 new campaigns, melee weapons and a director system that can alter the physics of the map.
  3. Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm integration with Xbox 360 – Thank you Microsoft for embracing current social networks instead of trying to create your own.
  4. The Beatles Rock Band – I’ve been excited since the announcement, but the harmonies and confirmed Abbey Road DLC makes it a must-buy.
  5. 1080p Streaming videos – The few times I’ve rented movies on my Xbox 360, I’ve had to wait a long time for the HD movie to download enough to let me start it.  Now, it will start up automatically and stream.

    Are you 100% sure it is “Share Netflix movies” I never heard that the movie party system would be for netflix. I just heard movies, thus I assume it would be Microsofts own movie rental system.
