PDT Daylight Savings is in effect I believe, though I'd hope you're more right than I am.

According to Eurogamer: MS is copying Nintendo kiddy fun...with a pinata. And you can trade pinata online.
 
WTF kind of BS is this??? See? This just makes me dislike MS more--even if its not at their request. The very idea that they are the only conference that is tape delayed is lame as hell to me....:sniper:
 
I m off to watch 24 episod 21, be back in 50 mins, LOLssss
 
News on Halo 3 I guess as a trailer:
To quote the accompanying text found on Xbox Live, Halo 3 is about Earth under Convenant rule: "With its defensive forces, all but obliterated, Earth has fallen to the unstoppable might of the Convenant. These alien occupiers have discovered something beneath the ancient African sands - something incredible... something Forerunner."

3 06: Halo 3 Announcement Trailer on Xbox Live Marketplace
Microsoft has released the trailer for the highly anticipated next game in its flagship action franchise.

LOS ANGELES--Microsoft has released the Halo 3 announcement trailer on Xbox Live. The trailer approximately 104MB large, is available free on the Xbox Live Marketplace. The Xbox Live Marketplace is available to users of the Xbox 360.

To quote the accompanying text found on Xbox Live, Halo 3 is about Earth under Convenant rule: "With its defensive forces, all but obliterated, Earth has fallen to the unstoppable might of the Convenant. These alien occupiers have discovered something beneath the ancient African sands - something incredible... something Forerunner."

Halo 2 ended in a cliffhanger, with the Master Chief, the hero of the Halo series, returning to Earth in the midsdt of a climactic battle between the Covenant, an alien coalition, and Earth's defense forces. It has always been assumed that Halo 3 would pick up seconds after its predecessor left off, but it appears now that it's set sometime a bit later in the future.

More details to come.

Edit: Gamespot forums have crashzorzed.
 
30 mins till we get to watch it!
 
"Now you can choose from over 300 cars" to tune and paint. Up to 11 other players played against on Live. Available this Christmas.

Zooming along over the top of cars. Zooming in on wheel arch during a crash. They're trying to emphasise the realism rather than show the actual game, you sense.

15:06.29 -
Cripes, that looks nice. Cars zooming backward round the track, peeling off down to bare lines.

Take that GT. Only a few years into the series of this game. forza motorsport 2, and it already has 300 cars on next gen tech, tune them, paint them 11 player On-line. Available this christmas

Steering wheel - Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel. Force feedback. holy shit a force feedback control?! wtf like the arcade where it gets harder to steer at speed or hard corners, and reacts to the track. Has this been done before for a home controller?

Trailer for Splinter Cell: Double Agent. "I used to hunt terrorists. Now I am one."

Shows Sam offing a civilian. "I've become a double agent."

I'm reading the live transcript here:
http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=64375

15:20.00 -
Live Marketplace - "opened the floodgates" to digital distribution. Over 18 million downloads from Marketplace. Over 1000 pieces of content by this evening.

Says Live members and publishers are excited - every publisher has some sort of content, he says. It changes the way people try and buy games, he says.

Mentions Fight Night demo - "In just a few short weeks after the demo went up, pre-orders increased by over five times."

15:19.00 -
Viva Pinata this holiday, he says. "Proof positive" of plans to move beyond core of fans. Name-checks next-gen Sonic and Lego Star Wars too.

Xbox live marketplace is making developers want to 'Jump In' since pre-orders of games can increase dramatically after playing/viewing a demo -VirusType2

DX10 -
Crysis again. The jungle detail makes Far Cry look like a NES game [Tom's phrase of the week, by the sounds of it!]. I've not seen this close-up before actually - bloody hell it looks nice.

When is it streaming? It says its coming soon. I wanna start laughing at Bill Gates lol. :smoking:
 
I know that the ps3 isnt out yet but I must say that the way things are looking thus far, Im very glad I went with my 360 instead of ps3.
 
looks like xbox 360 for the win!, still waiting to see this conference
