Title: MS E3 press conference started

G4 is airing it, many sites streaming it. Or you can just keep refreshing the Shack (http://shacknews.com/docs/press/20070709_MSE32007.x).

You butchered the spelling of conference.

It isn't his fault.  His internet connection has a -7 spelling modifier.

I came back to OW, saw the thread title and went "Man I butchered that..." and then read the replies while I fixed it.

HOLY SHIT!


9:21: Gears of War and Viva Pinata to PC. CliffyB comes to stage with dark hair. Game will have new content, game editor, co-op. CliffyB demonstrates using a 360 controller. He invites buddy online to play. 5 new chapters, new multiplayer mode, new map, new achievements. Boss battle with Brumak or however it's spelled--big boss guy with guy riding on top. Coming to XP as well as Vista.


5 more chapters, editor, co-op, and it runs on XP? My god, this is what heaven must be like.

Uh, looks like Gears and UT2007 is on GFW Live. Damnit. At least Silver is free...better not be missing mportant shit.

Funny, though. Gears and UT07 work on XP, yet use Live? I thought Live wouldnt work on XP?

Awesome.  Of course, it means I have to buy the game again.  That sort of sucks.  Damn it.

You know, the recent news has been potential 360 price drop, and MS switching over to the new smaller parts. I wonder if they are saving that until after Sony and Nintendos shows. Then they can be like "Oh, we totally forgot...PRICE DROP!" and steal some thunder back.

Since this is a "Live" game and stuff, I really expect the 'extra' content of the PC version to be released for the 360 version as well.

Probably. This is supposedly the "missing chapter" between the mansion and the train ride.
