"Your king demands a stream."

 

[Ravensmash]

ok, this secrecy has to be something big...

MS is dumb if this isn't in some way related to the next gen or a tablet that will blow people away.

Are there rumours about next-gen (gaming) from this?

 

[Gary Whitta]

I have to admit they are doing a good job of building this up.

Then again, so did Geraldo.

 

[Vanillalite]

5:20? That's an hour late. Can't even get that right.

5:20 is the hipster time aka fashionably late for 4:20 LOL

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

5:20 pm? Meaning?

 

[ConfusingJazz]

THE FUCK

RUN!

 

[Klaymator14]

At 5:20 PM, Steve Ballmer will descend onto the stage laughing.

Then, the gas.

this is amazing

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Josh here — clearly some tablet shapes on the screens in the venue. ANd of course Gotye is playing.

That song will be the death of me.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

X-box 520 instead of 720?

 

[Kusagari]

Xbox 520 bout to shock the world.

 

[derFeef]

It's like an episode of Twin Peaks.

 

[outunderthestars]

For those saying it is going to be a low cost tablet: How does MS sell a $300 tablet while expecting OEM's to sell Widows RT tablets? There is no way that any company could compete again a subsidized MS tablet when MS requires that OEM's pay $85 per tablet for the Windows RT software.

 

[MThanded]

New box technology?

 

[Graphics Horse]

Courier?!

 

[xbhaskarx]

Box...

5:20...

...Xbox 520!!

 

[FStop7]

At 5:20 PM, Steve Ballmer will descend onto the stage laughing.

Then, the gas.

Wiping out the tech blogosphere in one fell stroke? I... I like it.

 

[Gary Whitta]

5:20 pm? Meaning?

World's first 520p tablet confirmed.

 

[fat pat]

that means 17:20? xbox 1720 is releasing?

 

[Keyouta]

So we'll see the tablet roughly 20 minutes into the presentation?

 

[Biggzy]

Definitely seems to be tablet based judging by those images.

 

[Salsa]

Good thing there's no audio. Your mom moaning would block it out.

lmao

 

[Busty]

THE FUCK

That's when their shift at FoxConn starts.





And it finishes...., NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVERRRRRRRR.

 

[Levyne]

turn 520 degrees and walk away

 

[clav]

520-360 = 160

Turn...away?

 

[AkuMifune]

And now the iPad is just a tablet that I used to know!


SOMEBODY!

 

[SUPREME1]

5:20 = 20:5

20:5 > 16:9


CALLING IT


Edit: Doors open at 3:30, event starts at 5:20. Troll.

 

[Burger]

To go with the name "Microsoft Glass", what if their tablet was literally a slab of glass. As in it is completely translucent (maybe with a bit of opaqueness) and when you turn it on it acts as a tablet. Sleek and futuristic. Apple would probably cry.

Fool of a Took.

 

[brotkasten]

THE FUCK

 

[numble]

So we'll see the tablet roughly 20 minutes into the presentation?

1 hour 20 minutes.

 

[Centurion]

Are there rumours about next-gen (gaming) from this?

no, this build up is just dumb.

all this secrecy, and now the press is in there, and still they're being crazy coy.

They handed us cards with "5:20pm" written on them and mysteriously said "This will be clearer later on during the presentation." Very mysterious.

But it's a tablet for sure, it just better deliver or lulz will be had.

 

[alphaNoid]

Courier?!

OH SHIT

 

[AlexMogil]

Tablet shapes, or possible ice cream sandwiches. Rectangles, repeat: rectangles.

 

[derFeef]

It's a tablet that opens up... wohoo!

 

[Oozer3993]

I have to admit they are doing a good job of building this up.

Then again, so did Geraldo.

I was soooo sure Jimmy Hoffa was gonna be in that vault, just chilling with Elvis.

 

[TacticalFox88]

5:20?

Reference to native resolution of Xbox 360 games?

 

[DopeyFish]

Please be courier

 

[D4Danger]

??

 

[Gary Whitta]

The resurrection of Courier would actually shut every cynical motherfucker up.

 

[Divvy]

Maybe they invented the star trek replicator. That would explain why it's during dinner time and making everyone hungry!

 

[outunderthestars]

Ahh, they are in the Hangar of the Milk Studio...

 

[killer rin]

??

Man I can't wait to see what they have in store. Soo many rumours flying around

 

[ConfusingJazz]

5:20 pm? Meaning?

Microsoft decided that Series 7 was a good idea, and the game starts at 5:20.

 

[Dabanton]

Apple fanboys running wild in this thread.

Calm down boys. No one is going to topple your overlord.

 

[cnizzle06]

Courier?!

Don't you say that.

Don't you say that if it ain't true!

 

[Kibbles]

Launching everywhere at 5:20pm pacific confirmed.

 

[JABEE]

The Microsoft expert on CNET's live stream said the 720 leak was real.

Edit: Someone else got 5:25 and another person got 5:30

 

[clav]

5:20?

Reference to native resolution of Xbox 360 games?

Or maybe it's 5/20 like 4/20.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

Microsoft's event people are handing out cards that have the time 5:20 pm printed on them, and are telling those present that the reason will be clear soon. I hope that that isn't an indication of when this thing actually starts.

5:20
520

XBOX 520 CONFIRMED

Anyway screw you guys I'm going to listen to Nyan Cat remixes.

 

[Rur0ni]

Okay this is getting ridiculous. All mysterious and hype-like. I mean, how can it possibly live up to it now?

 

[SteveWD40]

It's like an episode of Twin Peaks.

A worthy glol good sir.
