While the actual E3 show doesn't officially start until Tuesday, today is what longtime attendees traditionally call E3: Day Zero.

With press conferences from Microsoft, EA, and others, much of the week's news has already been made--most notably by the Kinect camera peripheral for Xbox 360.

If you haven't kept up on all the E3 news today, this slideshow will give you a quick tour of the highlights and lowlights, and hopefully give you a few things to get excited about for the next several days of E3 action.
