Neowin Live From E3 2009 Day 1 (Updated) with video

The first day of E3 has come and gone.... and what a day it was!

Demos, crazy booths and more demos, the show floor was a sight to behold. As soon we hit the ground at E3, we made a beeline to the Xbox 360 booth. Talk about over the top, it was glitzy, two story affair surrounded by tons and tons of Xbox 360 demo units, showing everything from Forza Motorsports 3 to XBLA games such as "Shadow Complex"

The Xbox booth was just one of the many booth's that made up E3... We also got to see games from mega publishers such as EA, Konami & SEGA. I lost track of all the games played today, I soared in a jackpack in Capcom's "Dark Void" a "Jetpack Shooter" due out this fall. I also Failed epic-ly at a "Lips" singing contest & got rocked by DBOX's awesome motion gaming chair. My trusty conference buddy, Jared from Zunited.net crashed just about every game demo he touched (Note to game publishers: keep him away from your demos!). Besides crashing demos we had a blast talking with all of the MS press people & got full demos of how Twitter, Facebook and Netflix and how they are turning the Xbox into a unstoppable social machine.

We also got almost run over by Steven Spielberg and his 300 pound bodyguards, when they made a surprise visit to the Xbox booth.

All in all it was an amazing day & I can't wait to do it all over again tomorrow!
