My two favorite moments from our E3 keynote: describing Ultimate Fighting Championship as a “thought leader” and Ice T announcing he’s reforming Body Count to record a new song inspired by Gears of War’s Horde Mode. Comedy gold!

This fall the Xbox 360 gets a sexy new dashboard update, giving the service a look and feel that should be incredibly familiar to both Windows Phone 7 owners and folks that have gotten a peek at Windows 8.
