Hey, no more junior lol.
But yeah, the stream was smooth! Didn't notice any hiccups at all, which is great news for the streams heading forward & past E3.

Microsoft is gonna put up $499, then master chief and Marcus fenix with come in, chainsaw and shoot away the number and leaving a $399.
Geoff is playing into the show boating cause he's part of the scheme!

Sony should just come out and say "Remember the first E3? $399"

Yep. If this thing isn't $499, Geoff loses so much credibility.

I'm getting swayed more. Geoff is double and trippling down in the GAF thread. He also mentioned he'd never leak games and there's new unannounced games going to be shown.

There's going to be a METLDOWN when $499 is announced. People doing all kinds of mental gymnastics to believe $399 is coming.
Even if $399 is announced, there will be a meltdown calling for Geoff's head from some of the crazies in that thread. It's going to be a fun ride.
I don't care, my PC is already more powerful, but I can't wait for the fun.

If Keighley is being "used", its to soften the blow. That's the only possibility.
I'm believing a 100% on the $499.
This would be so funny
This is me too, unless one believes Geoff woke up this morning thinking "you know what? i don't leak stuff, but i will start today". It's clear to me they let him leak that, not in a evil way people seem to think, it softens the blow.
I don't believe it. but if this is to create a "399" narrative, then ouch.

Right, it's $499, and probably an official (well, as official as such things ever are) leak.
Hey guys new EZA Fan here.
I want to watch E3 along EZA but I don't like their setup(conference small screen, reactions big screen).
Is there a way to watch the conference in full screen.... ok while I'm typing this i realized I could sync up a YouTube stream to match theirs.
Still if someone has another idea pls fell free to share.
L&R. Keep up the great work Bois.

This isn't another idea but just a suggestion that if you can watch twitch on your PlayStation or something you can get it on your big screen and that way the conference can be about the size of a laptop or so while still watching the whole thing
Me personally I'll watch their stream as is today (don't care about fidelity as much), and tomorrow I'll watch Sony solo and then go back for their commentary
Problem about that is syncing, if you are watching them and care about the reactions, doing that will spoil this for you.
Youtube and pausing until syncing with their feed is the way to go.

Yea I like them being majority of the screen. They are there to react and talk over the conference. If you want the larger feed you can always get that elsewhere to watch first, simultaneously, or later, but if they made themselves smaller then there would be no way to watch them talk and react later in a decent way.
They might be able to make the conference screen a little bigger though.

No no I'm just saying watch the EZA feed on your tv and the conference will be big enough to see lol

If you watch twitch mobile on portrait mode the screen will be on your forehead before its big enough
Seconded.
Again, there is a LOT of wasted space.
I don't even think space to stand up is that crucial, i know gifs of Huber freaking out have gone viral, being good promotion, but i don't think that should be a priority, since it's not something they're actively fishing for.
TBH it's not that big of a deal though, since i watch the trailers themselves later anyway.
I DO wish they kept the conference's feed volume higher though, yesterday i had the volume high to hear what was being said during the EA show, and their voives were super loud.
It is wildly known that EZA fake their reaction at every opportunity they get, so, when it is announced today, that the Scorpio will be 59,99$ in an unprecedented move by Microsoft to price out the competition, I hope EZA have their schock-faces locked and loaded.
20 minutes to go for start of the stream. Oh boy. Love the fact that they won't cut away during down time between Xbox and Bethesda!

I don't think Microsoft as a larger corporation has any interest in aggressive pricing that will lose them money. Scorpio and Pro are both designed to be premium, high margin options.
That's exactly my belief, especially given the "ARG" that led to that old magazine cover and 10/10/2017 expected release date which I think was never planned as an ARG at all.
I do agree with the volume. It was just a touch too low in the last stream. Not terribly low, but I could have used a little more

I think I broke free of "Kyle-dependency". He was the reason I got into EZA... but today I'm really looking foward to Ben's hosting. Gonna be gooood.

Okay, that makes sense. A bit concerned we were going to lose Bosman for a bit there again. But if it's just for youtube's coverage on the MS presser, that's cool. Hope it brings some more attention to him.

Ben mentioned it
This was my guess 2 months ago! So close!

Welp I was wrong. Geoff was right on the price. I'm passing on it at that price. Already own a pro and play almost everything on PS/PC. So I'm good

That has to be the first ever press conference where Halo was never mentioned. Oh wait they did mention Halo Wars 2.
I can't believe they didn't mention MMC or Halo 5 weren't in the list of 4K upgrades. What the hell?

I didn't think it would be 399 tho it wouldn't have been an impossibility if MS wanted to be really aggressive with their high end product.
I feel like the gap between Pro and X are a little understated. While the CPU (with good reason) gets a lot of flak the GPU is a sizeable upgrade to Pro let alone PS4 or XBO. Also 12 gigs of RAM is a big deal for a ''half step'' and definately one thing pushing up the price. The console itself is also surprisingly small.
I'm not entirely sure yet if I will buy one. I think as a much more Sony oriented gamer it's exiting to think that it gives sort of a high bar for PS5 to challenge. It is a very sleek and powerful box and in 2 or 3 years Sony will need to show why it is outdated and what they can do to push hardware and software to sell the ''true'' next generation.
I mean it's a franchise that's losing steam after a bunch of subpar games. (Subpar for Halo)
That said, creating a 4k remaster of the best Halo game would have probably done a lot of good.
Is there any sort of supercut video of all the times Huber says "X will reveal himself"? It's my new favorite thing. In the most recent Huber Syndrome, there was that "Harry Potter will reveal himself" line, which absolutely cracked me up. Then, I started watching their old Switch unveiling stream, and while discussing the Mario x Rabbids rumor, Huber said "Will Rayman reveal himself?"
I don't know why, but I can't stop laughing at it. This is clearly some awesome phrase he uses with some degree of regularity, and I need to watch every instance of him saying it!

I _think_ the original was ''Will J. J. Abrams reveal himself'' for a bet about Star Wars Battlefront reveal in 2015.
