Microsoft have launched a redesign of their official Xbox.com website, ahead of LA's E3 trade show next week.

The new-look website boasts an introduction from Live top dog Major Nelson, an official E3 blog, and highlights of last year's press conference from the platform holder in video form.

More surprises are expected of MS at this year's event, not least a hefty North American price cut for the system, in addition to new festive release confirmations.

More as we get it.
