A huge showing is in store for the Xbox 360 at E3 this year. Microsoft has so much to show, in fact, that their press conference has been splintered into two events, one showcasing Project Natal and a media briefing.

Microsoft will be holding the “World Premiere Project Natal for Xbox 360 Experience” on Sunday, June 13. The following day they’ll be holding their Xbox 360 Media Briefing.

An interesting note is that the Natal conference is all ages, whereas the media briefing is 18-plus. Does this mean that there could be an absence of mature-rated Natal games at E3 this year? Of course Game Informer will be there to give you the answer come June.

    They may save the actual games that are mature for the media briefing... or they may save them for later on down the road. Who knows?

    I will be checking out both but am  still a bit undecided on Natal.  Maybe this will help me out.

    I was under the assumption that Microsoft had been sleeping for the past couple of months compared to activity from Nintendo and Sony, I'm glad I was wrong. Though with natal being all ages, it kinda seems like they've taken a page on the safe side to attract the same demographic Nintendo garnishes from. Either way I'm exited, a good preview before the long summer drought to keep me hopeful.

    Hm. I was a little taken aback at first, but this might actually be a good idea. This way, their main conference isn't over-saturated with Natal stuff when a significant portion of their audience isn't entirely interested. And those who are interested can watch both.

    I'd love to play a game using Natal in which the player controls a character who plays games using Natal.

    Everyone is going to be watching. E3 is to gamers like American Idol is to everyone else.
