Two guys from ESPN's Sportcenter are now talking about ESPN's exclusive deal with Microsoft and the xBox 360 with access to 35,000 live sporting event but I have yet to hear anything about the NFL. I think they might be ducking the fact that the NFL is not apart of this deal.

2:40pm EST-
The Ubisoft representative is showing the camera scanning process of Your Shape Fitness Evolved. Now remember this franchise started on the Wii so I wonder if there will be another Wii "Your Shape" game. This game looks to have aerobics, rhythm exercises and martial arts training. It will be interesting to see how this game will effect the long time sales of "Wii Fit". The block punching mini game they are showing reminds me of the soccer ball game from the Eye Toy back in 2003

2:45pm EST-
Harmonix and MTV are showing off their "Dance Central" game for Kinetic. I just noticed something. I think (according to the box art pictures) the Kinetic games are being released in purple DVD cases. This game will also feature DLC and choreographers were brought in to help with the development of this game. The game features a mode called "Break it Down" to help people who have trouble dancing.
