Microsoft demonstrates how Kinect can control the Xbox 360 experience.

Ubisoft is looking to grab a larger share of the online and phone-based game markets with a new initiative, helmed by former Microsoft manager Chris Early. "We have some catching up to do," Early told VentureBeat, admitting the company has largely ignored the growing online market. Its competitors, including Capcom and EA, have already committed to these emerging markets. "We can draw upon what we have learned. What we bring to the table is experience in making great gaming content and great game brands."

Early will be responsible for coordinating Ubisoft's growing efforts to make games for Facebook, iPhone and other digital platforms. Eventually, the publisher hopes to be able to launch games on these alternate platforms on the same day as high-profile console launches. The goal, Early said, is to have "about 10 percent of the online game market in the West." With Zynga seemingly harvesting money out of Farmville and its other Facebook properties, it's no surprise that Ubisoft would want a piece (no matter how small) of that lucrative pie.

We'll have a new trailer for you (featuring dog grabbing, no joke) just as soon as Microsoft hands it over.

As spotted by Engadget a few days ago, the FCC has tested new PS3 models, including a new debugging station. CECH-2501, as listed, undoubtedly features a few changes from the current Slim series: CECH-2100. Sony has tweaked the PS3 hardware over the years (with many minor changes unannounced to the public). Likely, this new hardware continues Sony's cost-cutting measures. But will it feature any consumer-oriented changes? Perhaps we'll find out tomorrow at Sony's E3 press conference.

It's one thing to talk the talk, but it's entirely something else to walk the walk -- and this NBA Elite 11 dev diary strolls gallantly. EA wasn't just yanking your chain when talking about the changes made to the series. Frankly, we haven't been this excited for a basketball game since NBA 2K1!
