If your idea of fun is talking to your TV and jumping around your room like an arthritic monkey with an itchy bum then we have some very exciting news.
Microsoft has come up with a way to play console games without controllers.
Compatible with any Xbox 360 system, the ?Project Natal? sensor was finally given its first public outing by Microsoft at a celebrity-packed press conference, prior to E3, in which they also unveiled a strategy for making the company?s game console a gateway for movies, television and social networking.
So what does it do? Well, it's basically a piece of kit that tracks your full body movement in 3-D.
It is also voice-activated and even responds to the slightest shift of emotion in your voice.
You don't even need to login anymore – you simply walk in front of your TV and it will recognise you automatically. Which is, admittedly, quite creepy.
Microsoft even welcomed Steven Spielberg on stage to help push it ? and he is clearly quite a fan.
He believes it will ?break down barriers?, insisting, ?The vast majority of people are scared to pick up a controller.?
It's not a phobia I have ever heard of, but still?
He also added: ?Microsoft are not re-inventing the wheel, they have just got rid of the wheel completely.?
Which is all very good, but are we really ready for a juggernaut with no wheels?
Obviously, Microsoft is doing a Wii and trying to open up gaming to the masses.
But will it succeed – and is it the future of gaming? Well, it's obviously hard to judge until you actually have a go.
But from what I saw on stage, it looks pretty impressive. Sure, some of the movements were not captured accurately, particularly when turning around, but it still looked pretty impressive and they still have time to perfect it before its as-yet-unveiled release date.
However, using the dashboard by swishing your hands back and forth did look a bit Minority Report (no wonder Spielberg is such a fan).
From the few games we saw, it still has a way to go to rival Nintendo, but at least you have to get off your sofa to play it, which is a comfort, as I am sick of my asthmatic mum beating me at Wii Tennis from the comfort of her couch while I run around the room like a blue-arsed fly.
It certainly looks more physically demanding, which I have mixed feelings about, being a lazy git.
I mean, the last thing I want after a hard day at the office is to jump around my living room.
But then, to help lazy people like me out, Xbox have also come up with yet more features to help keep me firmly in my sofa.
In fact, if it was not for Project Natal, you would think Microsoft would be happy to turn me into a boneless mass of flesh, capable of only the smallest of spasmodic movements and reluctant to leave my living room.
Firstly, you soon won't need to check your laptops to see whatever is happening on Twitter, Last.fm or Facebook – because as from the start of autumn, they will all be available on the Xbox.
Through Facebook Connect, you can even capture your finest video moments and put them on your Facebook profile, presuming, of course, you have any by this stage – freinds that is.
Microsoft even got American actress Felicia Day to demonstrate it. She admitted walking into lampposts while twittering ? so, presumably, the point of using her was to stress even an idiot can use it.
TV and movies have also been thrown into the package. Starting sometime in the autumn, more people from around the world can watch a broader selection of TV shows and movies in 1080HD without having to download them, bringing the experience more in line with what iTunes Store users have long experienced, but at a higher resolution.
The video shop for purchasing and renting digital movies for the Xbox 360 will be rebranded ‘Zune Video’, after the company’s portable media player.
UK and Ireland subscribers can also watch live Premiership football and other Sky programmes through their Xbox thanks to a deal with the broadcasting giant. So you will have more chance to use your awesome piece of cutting-edge technology to watch Shane Richie present Don't Forget the Lyrics. Joy.
