Paint me excited.

A New York Times report today speaks of Xbox Live acting as yet another means to accessing ESPN’s massive breadth of sports programming.

The report states Microsoft executives have held in-depth meetings with The Walt Disney Company concerning a program deal with ESPN.

The service is likened to that of ESPN 360, which streams many sports broadcasts to those with high-speed Internet connections, and will offer the same kind of thing to Xbox 360 owners.

Additionally, the report cites Microsoft as saying it regularly counts upwards of a million users logged into XBL at any given time, which is very comparable to that of TBS and Cartoon Network, which reach about the same amount, according to Nielsen.

Would you watch ESPN programming on your Xbox 360 if you could?

Sony recently held a presentation detailing its efforts to succeed and become profitable by the end of 2010, and inside that plan is the company’s view of how games will be played on PS3′s in the near future; in 3D.

Sony plans on implementing the full-on 3D support via a simple firmware update available for all current PS3 consoles, and will also release titles in 3D that’ll likely blow our minds.

You’ll have to wear a fruity pair of glasses and look like an Agent from the Matrix to play the games, or buy a 3D-supported television to enjoy these games, but the way I see it, 3D has to be the next step in gaming/television, right?

Here’s Sony’s strategy, imaged. Let us know what you think!
