# Microsoft have spoken of something called Smartglass, or something.
Basically, you can control your Xbox through any tablet PC or mobile phone. Not sure what the deal with Nintendo's Wii U is at the moment. It's an interesting premise though; when your friends come over and want to socialize, you can carry on playing with a screen on the controller.

I'll keep my eye out for that one, but without sounding like a snob, I'm really not impressed with E3 this year.

# Smartglass was a bit more than a remote control
It's essentially all manner of the Wii U controller features too (it can be used as a second screen in games etc). Rumours are it's coming to Android and iOS too as well as Windows 8.

# Other than that though there's nothing much new.
Playstation Plus now seems like a more interesting proposition (the £40/year now gets you 10 PS3 games, with 35 more to come this year)
