Lets get this party started.
I was surprised about a month ago when I asked my brother about E3 and he said he had work, and he knew like every detail of every day. Blew my mind. I figured people didn't know what was going on in their life until like that week. That's always been the case for me.

They don't want to. Mainstream press was dying by the end of the Sony PS4 announcement. This will probably be denser, and touch less on games than the Sony announcement did. They have another 2 hours a few weeks later at E3 to show off the games. But this is the moment where they'll have the attention of CNN, New York Times, etc so they will want to build a conference around getting the mainstream press and tech press excited.

of course it's going to be during the morning on a weekday.
Try to keep the 360 kickin' as long as possible I guess. New maybe sounds like another device whereas next sounds like it's a replament. Don't really know, that sounds flimsy.

I'm betting it'll be more like the MTV 360 reveal where GAF was extremely disappointed that it wasnt catered to them.
For reference: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46948
We still don't have a name, though.
Not yet, well, not until the 21st.
I am just glad that we finally have a date so we can get this show on the road, devs can hopefully soon just announce games for whatever they are making.
We have been ready for next gen for about 2-3 years now, lets get the last player out on the floor and get going. Should be a good unveil

Very good point there!
Wow, only 9 pages. It would have been interesting to be on GAF in those days.

Hell, the US time is dumb too. Sure the press will be able to go, but most people will be at work lol.

Finalllllllllly. Like already said I'm most excited because developers can finally stop pussyfooting and we can finally just call things how they are and move on with next generation.
No, you just dont know how Sony did it.
Sony did not touch APU. They have 256bit memory controller with 8 32bit transfer lines. At the end of those lines they put one 512MB chip on top of the motherboard, and one on the bottom, each utilizing half of the lines. This kind of procedure is really not a big deal and can be done very easily without any other change to the rest of the system. User 2MF wanted increase from 8 gig to 12gig, and that requires changes of the memory controller [128bit to 192bit, or 256bit to 384bit], and putting more transfer lines on the motherboard [redesigning everything], or even worse putting some of the DDR3 ram in clamped design and some in singles, reducing the transfer speed for a lot of the ram.
NOBODY thought that Sony will go from 4 to 8 gigs of ram because of cost, power/cooling increase and most importantly CHIP SIZES [PS4 will be first mass produced computer device to use 512MB GDDR5 chips, 16 of them].

I think Microsoft are going to surprise a lot of people (in a good way).
Haha, oh man -- so funny reading the responses now.
I think it's a pretty bad time to be honest. It's right in the middle of most of America's work/school day.

I'm hoping thats it, we will see.
I'd say GAF fully expect it to be 80% Kinect, 19.99999% Media/Ads and 0.000001% Games already, I struggle to think MS could under-deliver on those expectations
i am sure 3rd party pubs/ dev are ecstatic over this news
Hopefully EA will stop acting weird.
pretty great time for europe tho
Yeah, I love looking back at threads like that. Personally I remember not having much of an opinion of their MTV event but enjoying the E3 conference a lot. I'm curious to check out that thread now.

Their event streaming app worked for everyone the last time I checked. I used it, and I'm currently a Silver member.

So, what are the odds that PGR will be a launch title?
Sorry if this has been asked before. I haven't really been keeping up with the rumors for the nextbox. I suppose it might be something that no one knows - thus a stupid question. But just thought I would ask what you guys thought of it as a possibility.
