Happy June! We’re out holding things down in sunny, smoggy downtown Los Angeles, preparing for the on-coming storm of video game goodness. It’s shaping up to another exciting year for all things Electronic Entertainment Expo, albeit one a bit less focused on the hardware side.

Looking something like a cross between a laptop from the eighties, and a bomb disposal unit, the all-in-one Xbox system was always going to make an impression. Well, with E3 just around the corner, it looks like there might be another model on the way.
