Unfortunately, you'll have to wait a while -- Microsoft says that it won't be available until a worldwide simultaneous release on Friday the 13th, March 2009. "Please hang on just a bit longer," they say, "we'll have it to you shortly."
Update: Press conference walkthrough video embedded after the cut.

Co-op confirmed. Perfect. Now I know for which system to buy it (360) since my bro play with me. :)

Was anyone else terribly confused by the Irish interpretor for the Japanese producer?

I don't really consider a delay to be honest. I thought it was everyone's assumption that it would be out Spring 2009...?
At least thats I saw it.

Would this include same-console coop as well, or just online?

Day after my birthday. Great way to spend my first full day as 19. This will definately be my birthday present to myself. :)
At least the delay was as epic as Twilight Princess...

"The online co-op mode is confirmed at E3, with another player taking control of Sheva, Chris' female companion."
Does she get a power-up at some point and become Mecha-Sheva?

About time there's a playable character of African (-American?) descent in a video game...
...that ISN'T a gang-lord (San Andreas) or drug dealer. Fucking game industry.

How does a video of Fallout 3 relate to Resident Evil 5?

Wow. I really want this game. I mean, it is like Fallout 3! But really, I do want the game. March isn't that far away.
