For sure. Thankfully they can blame DVR on the fans.

I'm going to edit that quote and just send the first line into various threads to see what happens.
Before I'm banned that is.
Would be hilarious.
This, I don't get it.

Yeah that is a bit strange.
Some people like watching stuff like this live. Making an event out of it. Eat some snacks and read GAF reactions.

Ah, c'mon. It's not just that.
Nature of the games industry is that it's an INDUSTRY; it's parts science, engineering, and yeah, business. The pageantry of it all is exciting, nothing wrong with that.
NX = Nintendo Xbox
OT, but why?

If people want to seek out leaks then more power to them, I'm sure though there are some people who would like to see the surprises unfold first hand whilst watching the conference, myself included.
Don't see where the issue is or were you the kind of person who walked up to people waiting in line to see The Usual Suspects at the cinema and just start shouting at them
it's the cripple!
This. Does it ultimately matter that this gets leaked? No, but there is nothing wrong with wanting a few surprises and fun moments during an event that is known for providing such surprises. You can't tell me Sony's big 3 announcements last year wouldn't have hit with just a little bit less of a bang if they were all leaked beforehand.
To be fair, LinkedIn does make money
How many billions a year?

Just teasing, of course I get excited too.
I just don't really care about 'spoilers' per se.

For real though. What place does LinkedIn even have in Microsoft's current plans? They are moving toward being a services company, why buy a Facebook/Monster.com amalgamation?

They just need them to make more money than they could make by having 26B sitting in the bank.

That's A LOT of money for data...
darkinstinct
...lacks reading comprehension.
Stupid is one word for it. LinkedIn has never made a profit higher than 50 million a year and in the past years it was losing money. Revenue is under 3 billion a year. And all that money just to get 400 million people to upgrade to Windows 10?

FFXV?
Not looking forward to even more Battlefield 1.
They showed MGS on Xbox stage too.

This is the first Microsoft conference I go in with ZERO expectations. I have this unshakeable belief that it will be complete shit. Feels good. Peaceful.

Guuuuys come on, there is a leak thread lol
How about some Titanfall and/or CoD?

True, lol.
What do they have, about half a billion users give or take? Plus it is in a period of growth and continues to increase revenue and profit so it's a sound investment, just a bit out of left field.

since the xbox 360, was MS always first when it comes to E3 press conferences or was it Sony?

I feel bad for MS fans who wanted to be surprised.

Or, maybe, the effect will be rather negative as its actually already being. People leaking, some freaking out, and others making fun of the situation. It totally breaks the hype of the moment. I didn't mind (too much) the leaks of yesterday, but this is too much!
E3 is a big event! People should stop pretending there's nothing wrong about leaking it all, when that's the most exciting gaming event of the year.
The show is exciting for fans, and a big thing por both MS and gaming developers! But I'm pretty sure people here know this, they're just pretending they don't.

This will be a powerful show.
Is it? Some people wait all year for e3, take off work, throw parties etc.. Why is it strange? People like those surprising, holy shit moments

Could have been some guy who saw the dress rehearsal and doesn't even work for MS.
The hype is happening now. People will still tune in and watch.
I just think you're overexaggerating.

Most likely, as someone posted earlier, some low-life working at the conference center, who has seen or heard the rehearsals.
I'm about to do the same. Also making some chicken wings and fries
A pot of tea, a jar of Nutella and some rich tea biscuits will see me right : )
