My friend just gave me an invitation to this. Not making the trip out to Redmond.

This isn't getting people near as hyped as the Playstation meeting did.

Well yeah, an always-online console (which has a good chance of happening at this point) would mean no Durango for a lot of people on this forum.

I know I certainly won't consider it if that happens. I'm already predisposed not to get Durango...MS making the final decision not to support offline play would just be the nail in the coffin.

hehe GIF war, the new kind fanboy war.


Anyway wow finally it is real official date. 28th March one was so let down big time, I got scar on my wrists.
 
I won't believe a goddamn thing they have to show regarding Kinect. Remember all of those awful canned Kinect demonstrations from past E3s?

They didn't even make a 30 second CGI trailer? They can't even get their announcement of the announcement in order. I definitely don't think there's hype here. How many you tube views are you going to get with a placement on the 360 dashboard?
 
"On Tuesday May 21st, we’ll mark the beginning of a new generation of games, TV and entertainment."

Its like I know its coming but I don't want to believe it. I am curious to see how they are going to structure live. They dumped the family plan making it very expensive if you have multiple people in the house who play.

This will be a big plus for Sony imo.

Unleash the gifs everyone, keep them coming! Some great gifs already!

My predictions(I haven't kept track of all the news):

-They show the actual box unlike Sony

-Alan Wake

-Gears of War

-Watch Dogs

-Destiny

-Always online, but xbox live for free
You and I both know that's not happening.

I can't think of a channel that more felicitously represents Microsoft's intended audience than Spike TV.

Yes, and if you go back 8 years, when we were all 8 years younger, that was the exact right channel for that unveil. Xbox 7 will be unveiled on PBS.

There was a rumor out there that said the Family plan was getting rolled in with the regular Xbox Live Gold ($60).
 
about fucking time, lets do this MS I want an all out war! PS4/Sony are going to be the only next-gen console I'll get but I want MS to come strong so Sony doesn't get lazy/overconfident next-gen.

Going against the grain here, gonna say it'll be good. Of course if I'm wrong I fully expect to have rocks thrown at me at high speeds.

So i suppose no game in this event? MS will only push the Hardware? So kinect 2.0 and something else?

Probably a big game or two, but Major Nelson implied E3 would be the game-heavy event. This will be an introduction to the hardware and their plans, most likely.

GAF really dislikes MSFT, look how little pages it got till now. If it was bad rummors other wise.

GAF is a pretty good slice of the market. The anti MSFT crowd is just WAY more vocal, having every topic derailed with "Paywall!","Kinect!",Bender.gif had the achieved objective of "pro MS" people just not posting as much.

Thank gawd I have a 6GB plan on my phone, 1pm est ; (

Yep. It was from pastebin, though. Personally I do think that's a good idea.

It's a sneaky way around the problem of providing a service to users who don't generate revenue. They don't want to be giving away Subs to people who only play the latest COD/FIFA game all year round.
