Reiterating his
employer's excitement at June's E3 event, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said to the
Dallas Regional Chamber in a speech yesterday, "Pay attention to the stuff we're announcing in the next month on Xbox." While part of his statement may be a subliminal promotion for the currently running "
Win a car and a trip to E3" contest Microsoft is sponsoring, we're going all the way out on a limb here and guessing it may have something to do with that
motion-sensing business we've been hearing so much about.
In what is now annual tradition,
Microsoft will be holding its press conference one day before the opening of E3 and is planning to "completely transform how people think about home entertainment." We'll be sure to wear sunglasses, ya know,
just in case.

actually, in the real interview he was describing a punani he had seen last night:
Lonecow @ May 9th 2009 2:09PM
He is making the ASL sign for "vagina".
That is what I see when I see that picture.

I'm upvoting all your comments. You're freakin' hillarious.
Josh @ May 8th 2009 10:56PM
OK, whatever works.
Peter Moore @ May 8th 2009 10:35PM
Ballmer makes me baw.
Also, aroused. Please kill me.
MystileArmor @ May 8th 2009 10:49PM
Remember when I said that if you keep saying things like that, people will really think you're Peter Moore...
Yeah that applies here too.

Come on June get here already

Mass Effect 2! Peter Jackson Halo! Fable 3!
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ May 8th 2009 11:00PM
Fable 3? I wouldn't count on that but more DLC would be nice.
In fact I would be happy with more DLC for Gears of War 2 as long as they are new chapters,Fable 2 like "See into the future" and Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts.

By the way there is a hint in Tooie about Banjo Threeie but knowing Rare nobody is sure if it is for real.Banjo 3 would be sick but I for one loved N&B spin off,is one of the best original games for the X360.

After this picture, Ballmer gave the photographer a Diamond Cutter...

That looks like a pretty big sandwich. Nothing economy-style about that.
Mohulis @ May 8th 2009 10:47PM
Hope E3 this year is more exciting than last year's. I seem to remember it being a bit boring... not that there weren't some good announcements but it seemed lackluster anyway.
Josh @ May 8th 2009 11:06PM
It was boring.
Mr Khan @ May 9th 2009 9:56AM
When "this awesome game is no longer an exclusive" is the biggest news to come out of an event, you know there's something wrong...
tmacairjordan87 @ May 8th 2009 10:50PM
I'll be happy if they just don't announce anything motion related and don't spend half their conference on casual garbage like you're in the movies and lips.
No Kills @ May 8th 2009 10:58PM
Halo 4 CONFIRMED.
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ May 8th 2009 11:02PM
I knew that since Halo 2.
Now that when are we going to get some footage of the ODST spin off?
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ May 8th 2009 11:09PM
Let's see:
Forza Motorsport 3
ODST confirmed. hopefully, last year FFXIII stole the Thunder then again that was an awesome Megaton so I guess ODST wouldn't have that much impact after that.
Perfect Dark for the xbox live confirmed.
Banjo-Threeie or KI3? (See:Stop nd Swop II and Nuts and Bolts)
Gears of War:all fronts gameplay,maybe.
Trailers for every Multiplatform game hopefully Bad company.Yeah right is going to be Modern Warfare 2 and Bioshock 2.
something something Dark Side.
Awful Square Enix exclusive
Pie charts
????
Profit

"Pay attention to everything we say about our company's new exciting stuff!"
Sounds 100% marketing to me.

Somebody please photoshop a Hitler moustache on this photos.... Its screaming out to be done!!!!

I dunno how to do it, but hell if I aint gonna have my eyes peeled for that image!
Tez @ May 9th 2009 10:46AM
"completely transform how people think about home entertainment."
FFS, Ballmer, people stopped falling for this kind of marketspeak years ago.
Tyler @ May 9th 2009 12:01PM
well... The Wii has motion controls, lets not hope that's what he is referring to. Maybe they will have 3D tech implemented to (console) games..? Unless they make games 4D, I don't believe they will "completely transform how people think about home entertainment." as he claims.
I want to be able to smell the ass of a hooker I pick up in GTA5/6!
COME ON, GET TO IT!
HDpurist @ May 9th 2009 5:19PM
Ballmer's a fool. I've lost much respect for MS over the years...and the quality of their products indicates them as America's leading redneck company. They need design and finess lessons from Sony...
ProgHead @ May 9th 2009 10:58PM
A-fucking-men sir!
I dunno, just felt like throwing this one out.
