Microsoft has notified media outlets to wake up slightly earlier tomorrow, as its media briefing has been pushed up 5 minutes to 10:25am PDT (1:25PM EDT). Originally the briefing was scheduled to commence at 10:30am (PDT). According to Microsoft, the (extremely short) change in plans has been made to add a "very special" announcement to their Pre-E3 shindig. Megaton announcement or You're in the Movies 2? You decide.
For some reason, it doesn't seem to win too many popularity points on this site. But if Halo 4 (or something like that) was announced, I'd scream like a little girl.
I don't think they'll announce Halo 4 while hyping up the expansion for the third game. Saving Halo 4 for the next Xbox would be the best choice. Expansions are fine, but let's not milk it.
It can't be Half Life 3, as Valve has gone on record saying that there will be three episodes and that they are currently developing the third and final one.
" And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance, and with furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know that my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee ", (one of the best movies EVER)!!
LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Of course I mean that worked for the Sega Saturn. Next we only need Kaz Hirai to stand up and say PS3 slim 299$ and we could hit theories about the linearity of time right in the FACE!
What surprises me the most is that they just now got the permission to add whatever this is. Even in the 11th hour their still ironing out the presentation.
Major Nelson stated on his podcast that sometimes their E3 briefings even have stuff that's added in just minutes before. So this didn't really seem that surprising to me.
I see it as a way to add hype to it. If they had always planned the extra 5 minutes, we would not have this thread and all these comments. Now, however, we are all quite interested in what it may be, so this could have been planned all along.

How weird, I have tattoo on my penis as well but the ladies refer to it as my, "Peter Moore".
Or was it, "Moore Peter"...
SuiXide @ May 31st 2009 11:19PM
Probably something Halo-related.
Erik Stroud @ May 31st 2009 11:29PM
No, It's Kingdom Hearts 3 which will be multi-platform. That's my guess. Though, I really just want KH3 to be announced period.

I would want more than 5 minutes press time with a bomb shell like that.
Erik Stroud @ May 31st 2009 11:30PM
Or Xbox soda, for Xtreme Gamers. I think my idea is a bad idea because that soda would suck ass.
Premature ejaculation man @ May 31st 2009 11:35PM
I would prefer a casual soda with Avatar support.
JXCgunrunna @ May 31st 2009 11:52PM
as long as you dont take that casual soda on line and dont compare it to the 2 other soda can's flavors, it will taste just fine
