The Microsoft line up is pathetic. Playable at the booth are Forza 3 (yay!), Halo 3 ODST (Do not want!), Lips (Do not want!) and... Windows 7.

No other games, no Natal and ODST for Live members only.

finally:
Among the additions to Home coming in build 1.3, Cox mentioned the Character Viewer Tool, which will allow devs to do a lot more with character creation, and custom animations for characters – up until now only the pre-set animations which come with Home are at a developer's disposal, but allowing animations built for specific purposes will mean "avatars will feel so much more involved", according to Cox.

Just confirmed that Chillax will show Sony conference. EA maybe not, but for EA there is an official stream.

Less than 2 hours to EA conference giving kick-start to Gamescom, btw.

what is chillax?
And can they handle the inevitable Gaf tide?
(which is to say, will they even be worth visiting if their servers cant handle Neogaf?)

Why Sony aren't streaming it live through playstation.com or Home is baffling.

I would agree but PSN is going down for two hours starting at their conference time. Something huge is coming.

They have a specific event space that you can go to in Home. Though, don't bother going in before that time because it appears PSN will be down during the conference from 9am-11am PST: http://bit.ly/3ehVz

If you are logged on before the shot down, u will still be logged on during the shot down

PRESELL 2 & PRESELL 1 ??
What could that mean, or is that retailer jargon?
Click to expand...
Presell = preorder, ie they "sell" it before you receive it. The 1 and 2 are looking at the product names in the databases, probably are bundles.

Anyone who has any good ideas on how to view Gaf and/or other sites (nicely formatted that is) with info on this with Windows Mobile? :)

I hope you're right and it's not just vidzone.

I wouldn't think they would need to bring down the entire network to update Vidzone. You only do that when you are actually doing maintenance, or adding...other stuff. I am just going with maintenance as I don't want to board the train.

Yesterday evening I was all calm about what was going to happen but wasn't expecting much, but now PSN is having maintainence done at the time of the conference, there are GT5 pods on the show floor, there'll be a big LBP announcement amongst other things, I find my mind wandering, and I'm getting stupidly hyped.

I need to calm down.

How many games are you assuming they'd put up there? I'm not disagreeing with you, there's no way they're doing it, but I don't see space as an issue. If each game averages 9 gigs and they are say 2400 games, it wouldn't be a tremendous amount of space.

Probably because the PSN and Home will be down during that time period

Well seeing how many ps1 games we have I think 2400 ps2 games might be a bit generous.
