Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars fill my dreams
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait, all will be revealed

So it's legit?

 

[Mononoke]

I want all the rumors to be true: ie. online always, no used games, weaker technical specs than PS4, more of a focus on social/entertainment than games.

That way I have a reason to not buy a 720. Please MS, don't tempt me to throw cash at a new system.

 

[SteveWinwood]

SITE IS DOWN. We got it. Time to call it a day!

Microsoft is gonna nail this always online stuff.

 

[Sidewinder]

Fucking finally! Let the Gifs begin!

 

[Reiko]

Time to drop dat 8GB bomb MS.

It's been 8GB for a year now. lol

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

haha, somebody might have goofed

 

[Elginer]

Now show me no online all the time, used games are A-OK and Alan Wake 2 and you have my monies MS.

PS: Keep that Kinect shit to a minimum thanks.

LOL!!!

I was looking at the source files, then updated it and all was gone. There wasn't much interesting there anyway except for the Segoe UI font (in TrueType format!), but hopefully it's not changed once the site goes back up. The server probably choked under the pressure.

 

[Izick]

SO I guess by "a few days", he meant "16 days"


Anyways, finally something concrete. The rumors can be put to rest.

Yeah, smells like horse shit.

[Wynnebeck]

Time to drop dat 8GB bomb MS.

Oh it'll have 8GB of RAM alright.

Spoiler

8GB DDR3

 

[Takuya]

The site is not down, they just won't et you access the page without supplying the proper credentials. (i.e. you need to click the link in your email;; which you don't have).

 

[EightBitNate]

Microsoft reads GAF

 

[x-Lundz-x]

GDDR7 bomb.

Yeah, I didn't see anything. Simple site.

 

[ekim]

Link not found but I will take your word for it ;P

Updated the link

 

[Dany]

IT BEGINS!

 

[Agent Ironside]

So May 21st is when GAF becomes exclusively PS4 fans.

 

[UraMallas]

It's going to be on Spike. Awesome. I'll set my DVR and do a blackout until I get home.

 

[Mr.Green]

 

[R3TRO]

I am so amped for this!

 

[The Grim Heaper]

I wonder if we'll get a bunch of Steve Ballmer avatars and gifs to hype it up like the Sony conference?

 

[LuuKyK]

Microsoft reads GAF

Who doesnt?

 

[McHuj]

about fucking time

 

[Takuya]

I wonder if we'll get a bunch of Steve Ballmer avatars and gifs to hype it up like the Sony conference?

It's already been attempted, doesn't have the same effect.

You need a tag now.

 

[saladine1]

That or PGR5.

Fuck man, the wait is over...

 

[Pennywise]

Nah, but Adam Orth avatars would be awesome.

 

[Illithid Dude]

Let the Ballmer gifs begin!

Spoiler

not really

 

[Gorillaz]

So will they do a trailer for everyone else?


EDIT: ekim did call this first tho. I remember seeing that thread.

 

[Jb]

"The Xbox campus"

Maybe it means journos will be able to get hands on with the hardware and a few games after the press conference.

Psyched!

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Yeah, he doesn't have the same kinda face that affects people like Kaz.

 

[UraMallas]

Let the Ballmer gifs begin!

Spoiler

Really. It is time.

 

[slider]

The reveal was on my mind then it wasn't. Now it's most definitely on my mind again.

C'mon MS, convince me.

 

[Leflus]

Hnngh. Looking forward to it. New console reveals are always interesting. Hopefully the always online rumours are false.

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

I want to see a tile on the dashboard with a looped video of someone eating an actual crow.

 

[jbug617]

Bring on the Mattrick and Ballmer gifs.

 

[Miles X]

It's already been attempted, doesn't have the same effect.

Not bias tho are you lol

 

[MaximumFlipFlop]

That or PGR5.

Fuck man, the wait is over...

PGR5 would be amazing. Holy crap that would be a megaton.

 

[MCD]

Panos Panay needs to be there.

#XboxReveal



On Tuesday May 21st, we’ll mark the beginning of a new generation of games, TV and entertainment. On that day, we’ll be holding a special press event on the Xbox campus and we invite you to join us via the live global stream that will be available on Xbox.com, Xbox LIVE and broadcast on Spike TV if you are in the US or Canada.

On that day, we’ll share our vision for Xbox, and give you a real taste of the future. Then, 19-days later at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, we’ll continue the conversation and showcase our full lineup of blockbuster games.

We are thrilled to pull back the curtain and reveal what we’ve been working on.

A New Generation Revealed
Xbox Campus, Redmond WA
Tuesday, May 21st @ 1p ET/10a PT/17:00 GMT

Follow me on Twitter where I’ll share updates leading up to the event.

[Izick]

I'm really excited, but they're going to have to really do something special to top what we've seen of the PS4.
