We have more stuff coming up from E3, but in case you’ve missed our live coverage of the Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo press events, here’s a quick recap of the most important things:
Microsoft
• Microsoft’s big Halo-themed Xbox 360 announcement came not with a bang, but a whimper.
• Still, that case does look pretty sweet. But so would a price cut.
• But hey, at least we saw some pink. Sadly, they were only pretty controllers.

Nintendo
• Nintendo’s got some new hardware goodies on the way for the Wii, like guns and steering wheels.
• They are continuing the Wii Sports craze with an aerobic thing called the Balance Board, so you can get rid of Bowser and your fat ass at the same time.

Sony
• We’re happy to see a smaller PSP on the way after all this time, though looks a lot like the old one we’ve got sitting around here. Somewhere.
• Sony Ericsson phones will be letting you chat in 3D with Sony’s Home avatars.
• Like the rest of the keynotes, not at lot, but at least Sony knows how to win over reporters.
