In this video, I give my thoughts on Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony's keynotes at E3 2008.  I was saddened by the lack of substance in each of the keynotes.  I wrote about this last year on bwana.org and hoped things would improve this year.  Unfortunately, all of the presentations were yawn fests.  Rather than repeat last year's negative tone, I tried my best to find the positive things of each keynote.  For Microsoft, I was impressed by their dashboard update and avatar system, and obviously I was floored by Final Fantasy XIII's move to the Xbox 360.  For Nintendo, Wii motion Plus and Wii Music were positive highlights, while Sony's PSN video offerings and announcement of MAG.  I'm hoping next year's E3 will be much better than this poor offering.
