Microsoft conference

evad_lhorg

19:30 by our clocks is when it all kicks off.

honru

Nah, 20:00. I've gotta eat!

evad_lhorg

corrected I stand.

45 minute s until halo 3.

honru

What are ye all expecting?

Halo 3 is a looking likely; they should spice things up by unvieling a near-finished version to be released this year.

I haven't been on top of Microsoft and the 360 of late, so this should make or break it for me.

Stoichkov

Other than an over-hyped shiny fps, what will MS be showing off?

An HD-DVD add on or the likes? A bigger HDD?

Everyone was waiting for the ninty and sony shows, I wonder if ms has a big surprise to wow us with.

Halo 3 is expected, but at the same time it's expected to be a short video and nothing more, freak is right, a nearly finished playable version would kick ass... but I'm not banking on it.

I'm interested to see if they make any response to the Wii and PS3 motion controllers, be it a copycat or a put down.

Other than that, not that pushed, there's been talk of a handheld xbox on the way, but not for a few years and I'd be awestruck if they unveiled it here (not ever going to happen).
I don't know of much that would grab my attention

Will this be on gamespot too? Was just checking on the site and i dont think you can stream it without subscribing:( Anyone know where else to stream it from?

Stoichkov

you're right, its not on, harsh. why is ms not live for free?

flogen

I think the link only shows up a few minutes before the show is due to start; clicking it now just leads you to an ad for subscriptions

flogen

sound_wave

honru

This thread will pale in comparison to Sony's and Nintendo's.

evad_lhorg

it is a one hour delay. sam as last year if i remember

monkeyfudge

Pretty dull so far....

Fable 2...? woooo!

sound_wave

one hour delay? Ah FFS, guess this will have to do instead

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=64375

Halo 3 theme and pciture pack up on Xbox Live market place BTW

evad_lhorg

eh i think you missed the halo 3 announcement trailer there too. lots of other ones as well

honru

So what's the story? There's an hour delay, or Gamespot's borked?

Smellyirishman

Live! Got hit with all sorts of trailers anyway, including; Halo 3 annoucement, Forza2, viva pinjata, alan wake, Fable 2, Splinter cell...

evad_lhorg

hour delay. halo 3 hasnt even been announced yet and the trailer is up on xbox live. lol

honru

Then what's with all these updates on Gamespot and Eurogamer?

flogen

damn my lack of 360,, bungie.net is offline for those interested

evad_lhorg

what are oyu on about freak scenery?
they are updating live as ithappens. there is no live feed though

kaisersose77

thats why there no live feeds, ppl can get the trailers themselves during conference ( well according to ppl on other forums )

honru

So there's an hour delay of the live feed?

sound_wave

if theres an hour delay, I better do some study so, inbetween d/l trailers off live and the like

kaisersose77

halo3 doesnt look like its gonna go past 26%

edit: finally 27%...... i think this is gonna take a long time

Goodshape

Grand Theft Auto IV on XBox?!?!

Goodbuy Sony.


....or was that a eurogamer joke? reading the 'Live Report' is bloody confusing tbh.

honru

Grand Theft Auto 4. Exclusive. 360.

Now that's heated things up a little.
