In lieu of a podcast this week, Jacob and I are recording and releasing a recap video including our Top 3 picks for most exciting announcements for all five of the major E3 conferences. The first is for Microsoft, and you can check it out below - the rest will be coming very soon! What do you think of our picks for Top 3? Would you have picked differently? Let us know in the comments!

I'm going with $450 dollars at most because you could build an excellent budget gaming desktop with $500 and have access to emulators which allow you to play games from older consoles.

That depends. Are we talking next gen consoles strictly, or are we talking any console from any generation? If it's next gen, then it depends on all its capabilities. Is it reverse compatible? How far? Is it DVD/Blu-ray/4K DVD? What are the specs? Will a rerelease have more capabilities (think Xbox One X)? Are there any add-ons that I would have to buy? Previous generations, it depends on what comes with it. How many games, controllers, cables, memory, etc. If it's a cartridge system, say SNES, is it the first series or second series? Is it complete in box, or just a loose console? It really varies on SO much.
