Allard will be talking about Xenon today

GAF's Bob Woodward
I might as well post this here too then. The MS presentation today will be : "Hardware vision", XNA demos, new Dashboard and new Live.
 
It's a Megablast!

You had to refresh one last time before you went to bed, didn't you pj?

P.S. What time is the conference?
 
What sort of XNA demos? Like the ones they showed last time? Can't say I really understood how that demonstrated XNA at all, I'm sure it allowed them to make those demos more easily, but surely there was nothing done that couldn't have been without it.

The fact that they were made in a short period of time is the thing that couldn't have been done without it. At least that's what I think they were trying to convey..

btw will this be broadcasted live on the net? any urls?
I don't remember MS ever live broadcasting anything about Xbox. That's a shame in fact, I really enjoyed watching both Nintendo and Sony E3 live last year.

I don't know the details, sorry.

Microsoft had their e3 press event available for download on their own website, but it wasn't exactly live. They had it available for stream right after the actual conference finished.

Yeah, but it's not exactly the same thing. Especially since they did some cuts to the video.

Except that they didn't give (m)any development details, or details on how they took to make and how XNA helped. Those XNA demos were pointless. I want more than that this time round, you hear me Allard?! *shakes fist*
