Not launching with PGR would be weird. It's tradition
Yah but it's just a timeline with all the games
and haha, DF jumping on the "ahhh it has entertainment in the text, doooom" bandwagon
It depends how kinect focused this event is and E3 is. It could be like Nintendo directs or even like the ps4 event. Focus on the stuff we on this forum tend to care about and have all the casual stuff at E3.

Finally a date and the end to all the speculations about always online.

On the dash as well.

Also, can't wait to see the creativity of GAF gifs to come. That Iron Man Ballmer one is too classic.
I'm in the same camp.
All the no used games, always online and mandatory Kinect rumors/leaks have me extremely weary.
The fact that it's being aired on SpikeTV is indicative that it'll be on GT. SpikeTV's game coverage is all through GTTV (both are under the Viacom umbrella), and they usually stream all their stuff online for big pressers.
Which front man has matched his energy?

Spec and pricing details are usually reserved for E3 anyway.
True dat.
I don't think it's entirely based on kinect, after all they've got the show the hardware and present their whole strategy.
And they might present the 99$ 360 version which will also be time consuming.
Kinda hard to press this all into 2 hours and still having their annual CoD presentation.
Therefore it's smart to present the hardware in an event before the E3.

I don't expect our fears being alleviated.
I kind of expect some specifications, a lot of OS, and a few games. Almost mirroring the Sony reveal.

How come?

Probably because it was the first next gen reveal and MS is less popular on gaf. I doubt it will deliver on the gif front though which hurts the most. We need moar gifs. Seriously, gifs get you so hyped.

So many people are going to be aware of the new console it is going to be crazy. The traffic front and center dash gets them is insane.

Im really excited to see how the buzz goes around compared to Sony
Sony's PS4 video has 28 Million views. Sony ironically has a much more solid online presence with their PSBlog, Youtube page-- even their Facebook page trumps Xbox in terms of fans.
But MS is a marketing machine, and having this on the dash + broadcasting on Spike is going to generate a lot of attention.

Can you click it
Yep, i´m basically expecting a no used games, always online Kinectbox with close to zero interesting exclusives.

About fucking time.
Not with that attitude, no.
Be still, my beating heart.
Excitement for nextbox on GAF is far lower than it is/was for the PS4 because of all the negative rumors regarding nextbox and MS's strategy leading into the next-generation (Kinect, few exclusives, focus on "entertainment", etc..).

Didn't stop Sony. I think they should reveal the specs at this event personally, otherwise it will create negativity.

Since this a forum, I can state whatever I feel, which I did. It seems like a fair thing to do to compare the announcement of an announcement between two competing companys, so I did exactly that. I know it's not important and it will mean jack shit if MS brings out their big guns and blow everyone away. I know they have the potential and the power. But since it is still a month away, we can only discuss what we have available.
On top of that the original comment included a smiley, so I wasn't completely serious about it anyway. You are the one who sounds butthurt here now.

YEAH BUT SONY SHOWED A FUCKING ELEPHANT GETTING ITS HEAD CHOPPED OFF AND SOMEONE GETTING SHOT IN TEH FACE
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
...or something...
-------------------------------------------
I love the amount of:
End of the day Sony and MS have flaws. Sony had a nice reveal that was very informative, MS would do well to take some things on board but also learn from mistakes.
The idea Sony are any less 'suit' like than MS is a myth put out by people who share the view that 'Sony loves gamers' and they're their best friend or something.
There is a problem of MS's culture but its not the reveal, its how much the other parts of MS are getting involved in Xbox and trying to turn it into something its not and something not designed with the consumer in mind.
It'll be disastrous, dangerous and disappointing if this happened. I hope not...but it is MS...
For the alternative; whenever Jack Tretton speaks, I no longer want a PS4 or to be apart of any of that stuff. I hate the culture around Sony and their games.
--------------------------------------------
NOW lets all ride the meltdowns, stay safe and have ourselves a wee 2013 console launching party.

I thought they were going to have a meeting on the 26th of this month.
That isn't going to be the reveal?

I hope there is more tv and entertainment than gaming.
