E3 - Official MS Press Conference Thread

Why the odd time you say? Apparently, MS has a last minute addition to their show so they added five minutes to the front-end instead of to the back end.

As long as they are adding to the show and not taking away like they did with Halo: ODST last year.

I'll add links in this post to video streaming and/or live blogs as they are found.

Live video streams for the MS conference (via R Nilla):

Xbox.com
G4
Gametrailers
GameSpot
IGN

Live Blogs:
Kotaku
Major Nelson (Live chat too)
VG247 (via R Nilla)
Joystiq (via R Nilla)
Game|Life (via warcrow)
VGChartz
IGN (via R Nilla)

 
Looks like that motion thing is 3rd party, so I don't know if that really counts for a 360 motion controller.

I'm excited for the press event tomorrow. I hope there's a downloadable version of the entire show up online not too long after it's over
 
ahh, good catch. removing that because it will likely not be in MS' press conference.
 
So what's everyone think the big news is going to be that needed the extra 5 mins? A trailer? Someone walking out with new hardware in hand? Xbox live now free? Hulu on live, "Live right now!"? Hmm.
 
Yay!! Can't wait to fire up some live blogs this afternoon at work. Queasy, if you find the links to some live blogs from Kotaku or any of the others before I do, please add them.
 
Well, I'm excited. Microsoft, whatever their other faults, has tended to deliver when it comes to press conferences. 🙂

I don't know, but for some reason I feel like something big is going to happen. I have no basis for that feeling whatsoever. 🙂

I'm sure people will be freaking out if he does show.

Tony Hawk let slip that he'll be demonstrating his Tony Hawk Ride game. I really hope that isn't what they added 5 minutes to the presentation for...

Why not? 5 minutes is about all I can take of them talking about that. 🙂 I have absolutely no interest in skateboarding games.
 
So for MS's keynote, what do we know that they'll be talking about for sure?

Tony Hawk Ride (yawn) 😉
The Gametrak Freedom?
Halo ODST?
Probably discuss new and upcoming NXE enhancements

what else?

Mass Effect 2
Modern Warfare 2
Forza 3
Bunch of XBLA games
Video Marketplace becoming Zune Marketplace
Splinter Cell: Conviction
 
Halo: Reach. Not a big fan of the "yearly Halo release" concept, but I think it's in the cards.

I also expect a fair amount of Zune HD pushing, which is reasonable if it's tightly integrated with the 360 and has a decent stand-alone gaming component.

Crazy, unsubstantiated prediction: major MMO announcement for the 360 - maybe LOTRO?

LOTRO has been rumored. Champions Online is still slated to come at the end of this year.
