E3 - Microsoft's Keynote

Captain Chaos

I reckon, just my theory that this new 360 is "slim" because it containes the PSU and wifi inside a box thats slightly smaller than the current SKUs.

Yeah the MS E3 conference is live at 6pm Irish time this evening. EA at 10pm and Ubi at 1am.

They usually put the highlights on Live a day or two after. I don't know if they will change that this year with the updates that Live has gotten at the back end of the network over the past year.

I think they said that it won't be streamed onto the XBox. Last year they had a highlights reel available the morning after on Live, though.

I got an e-mail from xbox.com last week promising "This year at E3 we’ve got even BIGGER announcements to share with you. Of course, to get all the details you’ll need to tune in live on Xbox.com at 6.30 p.m. on 14 June. Trust us, it’s not to be missed."

If it's anything like Ubisofts keynote last year, it should be the perfect cure for my insomnia. James Cameron waffling on about Avatar last year without even showing a single image from the film or game was about as enjoyable as sitting down and punching yourself repeatedly in the crotch for an hour.

I'm after having a longer look at those pics, and I don't think this slim model is that much smaller, or slimmer. The 360 is already fairly slim as it is, slimmer and smaller than a ps3.

Don't think the 360 is slimmer that the slim PS3, just replaced my PS3 there a couple of months back, a few months after picking up my 360 and I'm almost certain the PS3 is smaller. No external power brick either. 360 might be shallower, but not slimmer.

Rising looks pretty good. Great bit at the end cutting the melon.

What a t-shirt. Bigfoot wrestling a Unicorn.

Twilightning

Gears 3 and MGS: Rising are must buys for me watching so far. Don't really care for Fable III.

Looks like the usual sh*te from Halo!

Where? I must have one.

I bet they got a black guy to do a presentation because of all the crap about Natal/Kinect not being able to pick up black people.
