At the E3 Media and Business Summit in Los Angeles, Microsoft announced a new Xbox experience that will allow access to more content from one remote than can be found from any device that connects to the television.

Big News from Sony at E3

Sony announced it was introducing a new PlayStation 3 model with a built-in 80 GB hard drive for $399, replacing Sony's current 80GB PS3 which retails at $499.

The new 80GB model essentially doubles the storage capacity of Sony's currently offered 40GB PS3 model, which is also priced at $399.

The new 80GB PS3 will start shipping in September, according to a statement on Sony's Web site. The new 80GB PS3 will also include integrated Wi-Fi and a built-in Blu-ray player, but like the old 40 GB model it will not be backwards compatible with PlayStation 2 games. The 40GB version of the PS3 will eventually be phased out, Reuters reported.

Wrath of the Lich King Beta Opt-In

Blizzard has announced that Wrath of the Lich King Beta Opt-In program has been opened. Players can now register for a chance to be in the Wrath of the Lich King Beta. Simply go to your account management page and click the "Wrath of the Lich King Beta Opt-In" link.

Blizzard Quote: (Source)

Today we opened the Wrath of the Lich King Beta Opt-In program, which gives players a chance to win an invitation to the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King beta. For The Burning Crusade beta, we randomly invited players from the entire World of Warcraft community. With the Opt-In, our goal is to strengthen the beta-testing process by inviting only those players who have expressed active interest in participating.

Keep in mind that opting in doesn't guarantee you'll be selected for the beta. And players who've previously been promised beta access through a promotion or contest (such as by purchasing the Dell XPS M1730 World of Warcraft Edition notebook) don't need to worry, you'll still be entered into the beta automatically when the time comes.
