Wired's Game Life blog has posted a list of its E3 predictions up for Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony. What does the hovering corpse-green face of Jombi see in our E3 futures? A highlight from each to wet your whistle, although the link itself holds many more:

• Microsoft will take advantage of the fact that people have piled into their conference to hear about Halo 3 by spending 45 minutes talking about Windows Vista. We're all basically doomed — we know that Vista is a major focus of Microsoft's conference, and I am assuming that I will have to do something to keep myself awake. We'll learn all about translucent windows, the Games folder (which, get ready, will SHOW THE ESRB RATING for your games oh boy howdy), and what games will be exclusively for Vista (Halo 2 and beyond).

• Sony will spend much of their press conference talking up the online and multimedia functionality of PS3. There will be much pomp and circumstance surrounding packed-in content on the hard drive (which will be internal and standard), downloadable content, and online play.

• Remember the amazing surprise when Twilight Princess was shown off at E3 2004? Nintendo's press conference on Tuesday will be something on the order of two dozen of those "holy shit!" moments, all strung together. Fanboy tears will flow.

ESRB Ratings in the Games folder? We have no idea from where that prediction has been plucked, but labeling subfolders per ESRB rating seems like a great way to clue kids in quickly to which games on their Dad's computer have the most tits and gore. Maybe a better way to handle this would be to create parental controls on profiles that prevent kids from playing games rated for an older audience? With an opt-out tick box for more permissive parents at the admin screen, natch.
