shit just got REAL!

 

[Izick]

Finally! Can't wait to see how MS and Sony try to kill each other this year.

Yes. Yes!

 

[EightBitNate]

This is gonna be polished as fuck. Sony showed their hand too soon.

You're gonna jinks it

 

[Lunchbox]

showing it on Spike is a big deal, dat MS money.

MTV has a wider reach

dat apple cutting into MS money so they gotta downgrade from 2005

 

[Oppo]

I bet these invitations can only be answered online.

omg, I was right

 

[Servbot24]

They're going to have to convince me that they're more gamer-oriented than Sony. I don't expect it to happen, but at any rate I'll enjoy watching the conference.

 

[Cramoss]

Fucking finally. Thread's about to get crazy now.

 

[Wynnebeck]

This is gonna be polished as fuck. Sony showed their hand too soon.

lol Love this line of thought. "Sony showed it too early!"

On Tuesday May 21st, we’ll mark the beginning of a new generation of games, TV and entertainment. On that day, we’ll be holding a special press event on the Xbox campus and we invite you to join us via the live global stream that will be available on Xbox.com, Xbox LIVE and broadcast on Spike TV if you are in the US or Canada.

They had to mention that didn't they...

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Finally. Can't wait.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

32GB of GDDR5 of RAM TerraFlops or no buy.

 

[Miles X]

There isn't a single non-biased person on Earth.

Course there is.

And the ones that are do a much better job of not letting it dominate their opinions, your posts in MS threads are boring.

Edit: Glad it's finally confirmed, now for the leaks in the run up!

 

[Izick]

I wonder if they will show the design of the console..

It's definitely not 100% lock-city, but I remember Major Nelson shit-talking on Sony for not showing their actual hardware at the event. Again, not certain, but that's a sign I would think.

 

[Addnan]

I wonder if they will show the design of the console..

I'm gonna say yes, since some MS staff were tweeting (remember majornelson) saying its odd that Sony didn't show the console at a console reveal.

 

[Leflus]

So, what are the chances of Justin Bieber performing at this event. 99% or 100%

Would be cool if they got Daft Punk to perform at the event.

They're releasing a new album on the same date as the Nextbox reveal.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Finally!

 

[Meelow]

This is gonna be polished as fuck. Sony showed their hand too soon.

If Sony showed it early than Nintendo showed it really early...Or both Sony and Microsoft waited very long, one of them.

 

[Blastoise]

Fuck. Finally. I don't even care if its a media-centre rather than a console. At least Microsoft confirmed something.

 

[MThanded]

The timing on this...

 

[derFeef]

Finally....

 

[Gorillaz]

Is MTV still popular these days?

very

/DEAD

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Awww.....yeah. Time to see what MS has in store for us. The next couple of months will be so delicious here on Gaf.

 

[Pennywise]

lol Love this line of thought. "Sony showed it too early!"

Especially if you read the message from Hryb.
Really seems like they are gonna show their hardware and some trailers and safe the rest for E3, which is actually smart and the same way sony did their show.

 

[M.D]

This is going to be really awesome or really awful.
I'm excited either way!

 

[ElzarTheBam]

People are we not forgetting the most important part?

The gifs, SHOW THEM TO ME.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

100% Confirmed I guess.

Via Aaron Greenberg (Chief of Staff for Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft) on Twitter:

The word is out #XboxReveal

EDIT:

Major Nelson confirms

[PhatSaqs]

http://majornelson.com/2013/04/24/xboxreveal/

It's happening!!

 

[Megasoum]

Sucks that it's in the middle of the day instead of the evening like with the PS4. Now I'll be forced to watch it at work... At least it's considered work related for me I guess but I'll be interrupted by people every 5 minutes.

 

[ari]

You're gonna jinks it

The trolling from MS after the sony event had me curious, just saying.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Hell, it's about time.

 

[LTWood12]

When is e3 judges week?

 

[Backfoggen]

8.5GB of GDDR5 confirmed.

 

[TimeEffect]

So, how will this affect "mindshare"?

Sony blow their load too early? I know E3 is so close and all. But what is this other event Sony has? What's it about?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

One thing's for sure; Microsoft will show what the console looks like. If they don't, Major Nelson has a lot to answer for...

 

[Gorillaz]

Would be cool if they got Daft Punk to perform at the event.

They're releasing a new album on the same date as the Nexbot reveal.

idk if Daft Punk could/would preform there since it's a conflict of interest

 

[Takuya]

Course there is.

And the ones that are do a much better job of not letting it dominate their opinions, your posts in MS threads are boring.

Edit: Glad it's finally confirmed, now for the leaks in the run up!

*yawn* There is no unbiased person on Earth.

Course there is.

So there are?

And the ones that are do a much better job of not letting it dominate their opinions, your posts in MS threads are boring.

Wait so... These unbiased people, need to ... not let their unbiased-ness ... dominate their opinions? Huh?

Okay.

 

[RobotRocker]

IT HAS BEGUN!

 

[mgcastro]

The consoles war is on, I love this stupid crap haha.

 

[diggmcbadass]

I wonder if Microsoft is as developer friendly as Sony were in their reveal

Oh.

 

[LiK]

Prepare for GAF to be down on May 21.

 

[Izick]

This shit better be good. I don't want Sony to completely fall into total dominance next-gen, and then we get a groundhog day of PS3, but now as the PS5. Competition is the best thing consumers can get.

 

[Raide]

Final Fantasy 15 Exclusive.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

This is gonna be polished as fuck. Sony showed their hand too soon.

very

"We believe MTV is in for a very tough year," Juenger said, adding that he anticipates more double-digit rating declines at the channel.

My body is ready...

For always online

Bingo. MS would have benefited from this more if they had originally revealed it this month so they could have almost 2 months of the spotlight to themselves going into E3. Now, they have the reveal before E3 and then unveiling the rest at E3 with a hungry Sony and even hungrier Nintendo. It's going to be a hectic week.

 

[Carl]

Excited and scared to see if the rumours are true.

 

[ari]

lol Love this line of thought. "Sony showed it too early!"

Ummm...Ok?

 

[djplaeskool]

I love me a good gaming arms race.

LET IT BEGIN

 

[RoKKeR]

Alright, I'm officially hyped. Nice to see them coming out and confirming this.
