Most rumours seem more and more likely now, then.

 

[MMaRsu]

I am excite!

 

[Oppo]

So will we finally get MS response on the whole Always Online rumors? Perched for this.

I doubt it. They will talk up why it's so totally amazeballs awesome to be online, but I really doubt there will be a record-scratch moment where they confirm that the system requires this.

 

[statham]

It BEGINS!!!!

 

[Hindle]

I can't wait to see what they've been upto for the last 3 years.

 

[skynidas]

Watching this will be really interesting, I already know that I'm getting a PS4 but this will very interesting.

 

[NemesisPrime]

And there will be a lot of crow eating...

 

[Shahed]

You're reading it wrong.

'Spike TV in the US & Canada'

Oh that's fine then. For a moment I thought it wouldn't even be streamed in the UK, and we're one of their most important countries!

And there will be a lot of crow eating...

Not that a lot of people haven't jumped to conclusions far too early, but you'd take personal pleasure in that wouldn't you?

 

[iceatcs]

I will wait for official word first.

 

[Crawl]

Good announce it already tired of hearing about rumors every other hour.

 

[rinse82]

Didn't we all know it was going to be around May 21st 3 weeks ago? what's up with all the "OMG SO LATE" posts all of a sudden?

 

[Kajiba]

About time.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

It BEGINS!!!!

 

[Pooya]

I doubt it. They will talk up why it's so totally amazeballs awesome to be online, but I really doubt there will be a record-scratch moment where they confirm that the system requires this.

certainly everyone will ask in interviews after the event, not something they can avoid at this point.

 

[gaming_noob]

It BEGINS!!!!

WTF, it's May NEXT WEEK! Is it me or is the year breezing by so far?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

It BEGINS!!!!

I hadn't realised how close it was until this timer. April just flew by.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

I challenge MS to make me want to buy their console this fall.

I second this challenge. I want to spend all of my money on great games this fall. Don't force me to go on a vacation

 

[Minions]

I completely expect them to mention nothing about the rumors and leave them entirely up to speculation while commenting only about the "great things" that the xbox can do.

If they do not say anything, it will be awesome because everyone will end up pulling all their hair out due to the lack of answers.

 

[Reiko]

It BEGINS!!!!

 

[EightBitNate]

Wow... No itshappening.gif? I am ashamed.

Edit: That was close

 

[Chamber]

No itshappening.gif?

EDIT - *phew*

 

[Barakov]

About time. Hopefully, they clear up some of the rumors surrounding the system for better or worse.

 

[Izick]

If anything, I'll be happy that we won't see nutbar rumors everyday.

 

[Nemesis_]

Didn't we all know it was going to be around May 21st 3 weeks ago? what's up with all the "OMG SO LATE" posts all of a sudden?

I was about to say that we didn't have official confirmation, then I re-read the OP and realised we still don't.

I doubt it. They will talk up why it's so totally amazeballs awesome to be online, but I really doubt there will be a record-scratch moment where they confirm that the system requires this.

Prepare for it to be shoved into a sentence in some press release somewhere

I am well prepared for the meltdowns.

 

[Elginer]

itshappening.gif and all that. About mofo time!!!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Wow... No itshappening.gif? I am ashamed.

No itshappening.gif?

Glad someone posted it before you guys got ashamed.

This is almost guaranteed to happen.

 

[onQ123]

Knew this but lets go time to get hyped!

 

[sunnz]

Cant wait, hope to see some great games shown ( at least even 1 would be good, since E3 will be the main event)

 

[Brazil]

Well, Microsoft was asking for secrecy, but I guess Game Informer doesn't give a shit.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

More than you may even think

Well, Microsoft was asking for secrecy, but I guess Game Informer doesn't give a shit.

As quiet as the forums are believe me, there are discussions happening and a lot of the info corroborates most of the rumors. Doesn't sound good.

 

[Risk Breaker]

I'm expecting a Saturn style "it's in the shops now"

If they want to launch with no games, sure!

 

[enzo_gt]

So will we finally get MS response on the whole Always Online rumors? Perched for this.

The only likely scenario is to address it in interviews afterwards. It's not worth even mentioning during the conference even if there is no always online because it dilutes the message and focuses on negatives.

Whether it is always or not will surely be something we find out from interviews. And you better believe every journalist wants that scoop.

 

[BY2K]

SHUT

DOWN

EVERYTHING

 

[partyphone]

Some hot scoops here. Paul Thurrott was saying this all the way back in March.

 

[Afrikan]

Sony, coincidentally, has another event coming up.....now that they have a date, I'm guessing one week later?..lol.

 

[Quentyn]

https://xboxevent.com/

Is that site legit?

 

[John Harker]

pssht, I was saying it before that

I was talking about the event's date.

 

[iavi]

Get ready for the W8 marketplace dash then.

I think I'd be okay with that.

 

[Conor 419]

Meh.

 

[The Elite]

Is Sony still having another event around that time?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

https://xboxevent.com/

YEP! Shit is on!

 

[SpinningBirdKick]

Confirm all the shitty rumours are true so I can cross xbox off my next-gen shopping list.

 

[ciridesu]

Kinect me excited.

 

[fallingdove]

No doubt that 75% of the show will be dedicated to performances from Rihanna, Usher, and Justin Bieber with 20% of the reveal talking about the console itself and its media capabilities and 5% dedicated to the games that will be on it.

 

[EightBitNate]

https://xboxevent.com/

Is that site legit?

I think so.

 

[Reiko]

Meh.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Oh, shit. It's up.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

I expect megatons.
