Microsoft and LucasArts also announced that they will bring Star Wars® to Kinect in 2011. And, sprinkling a little fairy dust on Xbox 360, Disney will bring its magic to Kinect as well.

'Xbox LIVE is about making it simple to find the entertainment you want, with the friends you care about, wherever you are. Kinect is about making that experience more natural and engaging than ever before,' said Marc Whitten, corporate vice president of Xbox LIVE at Microsoft. 'Once you experience your movies, music, sports and games with Xbox LIVE and Kinect, you won't ever want to go back.' 

There were some accompanying videos, but it will be hard not to call the new Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect, Kinetic, given its link to movement and similarity to the PS2 eye-toy workout title of that name.

Microsoft also unveiled the new Xbox 360 Slim.  The new Xbox 360 sports a 250GB HDD and a price tag unchanged.
