I bet that it's an event where you can actually play X360 before it launches (in Europe at least). They did the same with the original Xbox (again in Europe).

[Ghost]

Great time to have a train ticket to central london every day...im hyped

 

[Excelion]

countdown is at 0, nothing happened

 

[axxxj]

for me it's got 56 mins left

 

[brandonh83]

Mine has nearly 6 hours. :lol

 

[Ghost]

stupid ass flash timers.

 

[eso76]

it's dependant on your windows clock settings.
Maybe it's based on GMT 0 - Greenwich time, so roughly 1 hour left.

 

[Excelion]

I always wondered why they never use server-side countdown, it's not the first time those flash stuff dont work.

 

[solarplexus]

Countdown is at zero, nothing to see. A tree... two rabbits... boring.

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

Maybe it's based on GMT 0 - Greenwich time, so roughly 1 hour left.

Yes, I presume. Lame web develpers :-/

Today, Microsoft has finally spoken openly about the Web site and has confirmed that tomorrow the "race for entry into Origen starts." A vague statement from Microsoft describes Origen as "the debut of next generation gaming. A real place dedicated to gaming pleasures. A place to play Xbox 360 before anyone else. A place to play all the Xbox 360 launch titles. A place to take on other gamers." It's not much to go on, but it's enough to debunk theories about it being a Halo 3 announcement.

don't expect much..

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Didn't they have some sort of festive setup at a conference a while back. That is similar to this?

 

[McValdemar]

it's dependant on your windows clock settings.

Yes.
Is so dumb to make a countdown dependant from client pc time settings!
LOL!

Probably it refers to USA timezone.
So guess we have to wait still some hours.

 

[swordsman]

The announcing will be:
-MS has snatched the exclusive right of the games from Sony or great games will be announced:

-Final Fantasy XII
-MGS 4
-WOW
-Halo3
-GTA next

 

[Blimblim]

Origen is an english site, so I'm quite sure it refers to the UK time.

 

[Lakitu]

Aha, I remember the Xbox Xperience in Europe, that was fun.

 

[Uncle]

Origen is an english site, so I'm quite sure it refers to the UK time.

And the press release is clearly aimed at European gamers. So US timezones are probably out of the question.

 

[Lakitu]

32 mins

 

[eso76]

Yes, I presume. Lame web develpers :-/

Sei Neural ???

 

[123rl]

20 minutes to go (the countdown runs out at 12pm GMT time btw)

 

[brandonh83]

So, should we get some popcorn, or some fried crow?

 

[123rl]

I'm building up a stash of owl photos

 

[Lakitu]

Acht minuten
8 minutes!

 

[Ghost]

3 minutes till disapointment!

 

[Syb]

This is cool. I cant wait to get MSN on my X360!!

(Microsoft, dont cheat me, you put a MSN emblem on one of the fruits!)

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I've been staying up for this. I hope I'm not disappointed. It's 6 in the morning here

 

[Syb]

I'll be as dissapointed as shit if its just some pre-play X360 event before its launched crap.

 

[Lakitu]

Three minutes left on my clock.

 

[Borys]

I'm building up a stash of owl photos

:lol

This thread could be fun.

 

[Ghost]

I'll be as dissapointed as shit if its just some pre-play X360 event before its launched crap.

Whats crap about that?

 

[Syb]

Whats crap about that?

Cause I dont live in Europe.

(Everything is pointing to it being about Europe or some jazz)

 

[Lakitu]

OMFGO HGALO 3!!!!

I don't see anything

 

[eso76]

when did the big rabbit move ?

also, 2 apples are now gone

 

[hadareud]

countdown over and still I haven't played a single 360 game yet ...

 

[Lakitu]

when did the big rabbit move ?

During the last minute I think, and the apples moved too.

 

[----]

OMG that was amazing!! Did you guys see that?





The rabbit moved to the other side. BEST VIRAL MARKETING SCHEME EVER!

 

[McValdemar]

Ehm...

....still believing that is referring to UK time Zone?
:lol

 

[Syb]

Whats that stick-figure thing where the 2 Apples were previously?

Kameo?

 

[axxxj]

two of the zeros have dissapered

 

[Ghost]

oooh pretty.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I still have a countdown, Central time here

 

[----]

new site launched.


A tree with all different european flags on it. Very slow loading flash.

A rabbit on a treadmill.

 

[Syb]

Shite! Its been loading for what? 1 Minute?

Stupid DSL connection...

 

[Lakitu]

What a slow site.

 

[Lakitu]

BAD LOADING TIME XBOX 360 WILL SUX!

 

[Uncle]

Isn't doing anything for me.

 

[----]

The rabbits are talking to me this is really bizarre. :lol

You have to make one of the rabbits eat the orange fruit.

 

[Excelion]

it's still the same site for me. I wonder who the fuck made this website.
