And MS didn't want to be associated with an evil AI overlord. It's not 2003 anymore (when that would have been applicable)

 

[Mixolydian]

Don't doubt.

Are you in the know on this one?

 

[bidguy]

uhh i hope its not just slim but a completely new one. i mean would a slim really be big news ?

 

[justsomeguy]

Wait... They are announcing something in half an hour?

Is there an event happening? If not I doubt it will be anything big.

Journalists (very respected ones) hyping their upcoming special podcast with huge leaked xbox two news.

 

[flkraven]

So where did this announcement materialize from? It's too early in the morning to get hyped unless it's worthwhile. So should I be turning up the dial, or just continue pessimistically drinking my coffee? What could this possibly be?

 

[ekim]

Are you in the know on this one?

Nope. Just wanted to use a synonym for believe. lol

 

[EvB]

Don't doubt.

I wonder if this is what we think it is

 

[cookienut]

Baconbox:The Spencer Sauce

You know it's true

 

[Mixolydian]

Nope. Just wanted to use a synonym for believe. lol

My heart, you've hurt it.

 

[Admodieus]

The new controller probably has a mic for Cortana and maybe a Windows Start button? (Depending on how they implement Windows 10 on the Xbox One)

Looking forward to whatever Thurrott is going to break today

 

[SOR5]

me right now

 

[leeh]

Crap.

Off to grab all the physical copies on ebay and make a killing.

Microsoft reporter Brad Sams has a news scoop on new Xbox hardware and he announced that a special episode of his podcast is going live soon, where he's going to reveal it.

Thurrot just retweeted this:

Dunno if related tho

Thats a "secret project on UWP"

I dont think anyone knows :/ But if it is related then we have definitive concrete proof that the Xbox division does care about Europe!

 

[JaggedSac]

So I told Sam's on twitter that he better deliver because the gaming community is now hyped, and that this would be a big coup for them. He responds with a " ". I can't help but get hyped now, lol.

 

[leeh]

Black Ops BC on PC in UWP.

Ah ok thx

 

[ekim]

it's all going to be on the podcast...i'm hoping to use this scoop to grow its audience.

.

 

[dancrane212]

Cautiously optimistic for some fun info.

 

[GHG]

Don't doubt.

I doubt everything my friend.

If I had to guess I'd say it's going to be a peripheral of some sort.

Hmmmmmmmmm! Interested to wake up to this tomorrow. You have to think they've got something in store.

 

[brotkasten]

So I told Sam's on twitter that he better deliver because the gaming community is now hyped, and that this would be a big coup for them. He responds with a " ". I can't help but get hyped now, lol.

And remember again, "new Xbox hardware" doesn't mean an upgraded console. He was pretty furious when people misinterpreted his words the last time.

 

[Chris1]

What's going on here lol

 

[leeh]

What's going on here lol

A whole bunch of preparation for disappointment.

 

[bidguy]

eh i doubt this is big. why would they announce it on a podcast ?

 

[Kordelle]

How else should they announce it?
They are not MS they are journalists.

You had me until "podcast" lmao.

Someone give me a nudge if something actually happens.

 

[SOR5]

We have one reason:

@DocShenanigans it's all going to be on the podcast...i'm hoping to use this scoop to grow its audience.

 

[singhr1]

Like always, just keep expectations low.

 

[_Ryo_]

So what is the big news gonna be?

All future first and second party titles released on PC via UWP?
Official UWP Xbox 360 emulator for PC?
Xbox 2?
New xbox is like steam machines with different hardware manufacturers?

 

[DeepEnigma]

A whole bunch of preparation for disappointment.

This made me chuckle, but it is true.

And el oh el at the 10TF tweet.

 

[JaggedSac]

Yeah. Very curious to know what he found out.

eh i doubt this is big. why would they announce it on a podcast ?

Trying to grow podcast audience. Although I don't think the gaming community is one that would stick around for his usual MS news.

10 TF tweet?

why would ms allow him to spill the beans instead of doing it themselves on a grand scale ?

 

[SOR5]

Direct link to live stream

 

[justsomeguy]

I think thurrott.com is being gaf-hugged to death.

 

[GHG]

So which one of you is going to do the dirty work and watch the stream to report back to us?

 

[shoreu]

Its up, I'm at work, someone tell us what it is.

It's not an official announcement. He got internal docs, like he always does.
