THE Microsoft E3 Press Conference Thread

so far the MS conference is going well. Maybe because they already have a system and showing games for makes it more interesting.

while sony and nintendo have to drive up exciting for the system and is limited to what they could show.

as Nintendo one I"m excited about finally getting a new mario game. that alone will get me to buy the system, I just love mario games.
 
I have the say, just about every damn site on the net dropped the ball with these conferences. Can't find a single DL or working stream over 300k for any of the conferences.

Wow sucks for you. Glad I can still have fun. Can't wait.
 
I thought MS did very, very well. All of the announced games can be downloaded on Live, most trailers but some demos. Halo 3. GTA4. Gears of War. Vista/360 interoperability. I'm sorry, even for Microsoft, I was very impressed. Put Sony to shame without a doubt.

The stream is now up on GS. I thought MS hit a grand slam today, Wii a close second and PS3 a distant third. Last gen I went with PS2 and Xbox, this gen I'll be going with the 360 and Wii it looks like at this point.

Same here. I have had no regrets in not buying a nintendo system since I've had the original NES and SNES. Last time I pre ordered an xbox and bought a ps2 used. This time I am going to buy the 360 sometime soon.....

If I remember correctly, the conferences haven't been streamed live in the past years. This is the first year I remember them doing it. Now you've always been able to download them afterwards, but never live.

Man... life is short... I'm 29 and still know when to cut loose. I think I'm getting the 360 when Halo 3 comes out, but this Xmas I may drop the $$$ and pickup w Wii 😱 for me and my 2 girls 🙂 I'm gonna get them into gaming, and I think the Nintendo will let ppl who don't know how to play complex games with a controller have fun with the wireless gyro controller they got. Looks fun
 
They just swept the rug underneath Sony........GTA 4 to be released at the same time as Sony is HuGE.

Sony's competitive advantage with the GTA franchise just went south.

Now reviewers are saying that the greater breadth games on display from the Xbox 360 look better than the PS3 is another bullet into Sony's chest.
