Honda will sponsor the Xbox Live Primetime channel's May 15th launch with a "Play & Win" campaign that offers a free Honda Insight to the overall winner of the interactive quiz show's launch event.
Last year, Microsoft debuted Project Natal, a control scheme that aimed to eliminate the need for a conventional controller and add a new level of interactivity to gaming. Instead of being shown off at the traditional press conference, Microsoft is holding a special event, complete with a performance by Cirque du Soleil, the day before their conference exclusively to show off Natal. This is where we’ll find out the big information that everyone’s been waiting for since last year: launch date, pricing, and initial titles. We might not get to see every Natal title that Microsoft has up their sleeves, but we should get a nice idea on what we’ll be able to buy this holiday season and how much of our wallet will be disappearing.
Microsoft is also releasing a new exclusive that is suppose to be real big. Not to mention there is for sure going to be an Xbox 360 slim... WITH NATAL! and guess how much $300. only reason why i know this is because my cousin is setting the stage up for the 360 E3 expo and they do practices of there announcements at E3. technically i can get him fired for saying tell you guys this bc he isnt suppose to let anyone know but he told me.
If that's true then wow. Now I feel stupid for buying an Elite if a slim model is coming with Natal. $300 for all that sounds fantastic... MS is basically packaging in Natal with every console... would that mean Non-Natal packages will exist, meaning the price of the 360 goes even lower?
I can easily see MS announce a price drop and that would definitely help with a sales boost.
I wonder what their new exclusive is. More games exclusive to the 360 the better for MS.
and see thats the other great thing, all though my cousin never mentioned it. im sure if natal is coming bundled with the 360, and that is the elite model, the other model with the 60gb is gonna be 249.99 now what makes that so great is that Microsoft is going to have a price drop for all the old models. making a normal 360 199.99 and the normal elite 249.99
You really went out on a limb there! /s
I'm not a primer guy. Waste of money unless you are covering up stains or dark colors with light colors.
But I am looking forward to see what MS and Sony have in store for us gamers.
I believe you INC, surfergirls recent predictions have come true so far and the 360 in built with natal was part of it.
Funny how everyone on the internet is "related" to someone with inside info. Not necessarily calling you a liar, but too many people have played that card in the past for me to get my hopes up.
I would buy an Xbox360 slim if they came out with one. Summer's coming up and I need a new beer coaster.
Yeah, no offense to you, but since we don't know you personally we don't know whether we should believe you or not. I mean, I'm not getting on you, but only time will tell I guess.
I'm looking forward to see what Microsoft announces at E3. Just the Natal stuff alone is enough to fill me with anticipation.
"technically i can get him fired for saying tell you guys this bc he isnt suppose to let anyone know but he told me."
So 2 possibilities
Either you are telling the truth and you dont give a chit about your cousins job for your own personal anonymous internet thread glory or
You are full of CHIT and just making CHIT up.
$300 seems awfully CHEAP for a flagship MS product. Just going by their history they are not the most competitive in price especially in the console peripheral world.
Considering that Sony and Nintendo passed up on this tech and 1 of the reasons was price....I find it hard to beLIEve that MS would sell Natal and a 360 so cheap.
See I know hes not going to get fired. its not like I used my real name when i signed up for this site so there not gonna know. But see the only reason why MS is doing, making this bundle so cheap, is because sony is catching up quick and MS knows if they want to win, there going to have make this very cheep and affordable. If they dont MS knows they can kiss there ass good bye if they dont. they know and so does everyone else. Oh and there announcing a slim hdd which in my point is stupid but i guess some people want it.
Can you explain how MS is setting up the stage when there will be a group using the South Hall (normally the section of the convention center that MS holds their conference).
The group Church of God in Christ - 2010 Women's International Convention (COGIC)will be in the South Hall till the 4th of June????

Sony and Nintendo tend to use the West Hall

I hope its true. I could easily see a 250gb Elite/ elite Slim with NATAL for $300 and an Arcade with NATAL for $200
But I dont think your cousin setting the stage up
Nintendo is the only ones who haven't been revealing their big names. So I'm going on a limb and saying they will crush when they drop the WiiHD .
Sony & MS are going to show their Motion
Sony will push 3D and their new Premium Service
The biggest E3 Suprises to come, I can't even think of what they would be. With Gears and KZ 3 revealed, what's next? All the franchises have their new titles revealed.
Maybe it'll be Mass 3 vs Uncharted 3
I will take that bet. There is NO WAY Nintendo will unveil a WiiHD....especially after seeing what Sony has with a more precise and lag free wand that knows where it is at all times in 3D space and has the ability to augment reality....BTW...all of the Move tech is patented so the Big N would have to go in a CAMERALESS direction and that is a technical challenge to be sure.
We will see 3DS and the typical casual crap with a game or 2 announcement at a more core game of some established franchise.
I'm giving nintendo a final chance at keeping their heads afloat.
They really have gave the big F U to us faithful hardcore nintendo fans, and I am hoping they show us they are still great
I wonder if a new console announcement from either of the big three would be enough to “win” E3 for them?
I have a feeling that the next gen is closer than most of us would like to think.
I am stoked about this years E3. I am looking forward to the Microsoft event in particular.
A slim Xbox 360 would be huge, but everything else on that list is a given. Killer Instinct 3, Forza 4, Ninja Gaiden, Dead Or Alive, Lost Odyssey 2, Blue Dragon 2, Prey 2, Panzer Dragoon, Shenmue 3, Perfect Dark or something along those lines would be a better prediction and going out on a limb.
I called the slim and Natal bundle for $250 5 months ago.
ALso I don't want games announced just for the sake, like Agent on the PS3 last year, no info, no gameplay, no nothing.
So I don't want to hear "Mass Effect 3" and then see nothing on it.
I don't know about $250 for a slim 360 and Natal bundle...that seems a bit too low to me. But I agree with most of everything else you wrote. I am really excited for E3 and to see what Microsoft will show.
pgr5 pgr5 i want pgr5 made by turn 10 with forza 3 graphics with bikes...same arcade gameplay :)
2K Games is ready to start feeding Xbox Live Arcade with interesting games from small developers that should be a nice complement to its big budget, triple A titles like BioShock and Mafia. As many publishers have found, 2K can afford to take a greater risk with quirky games on the platform since they cost a fraction to make and shareholders don't have lofty expectations of selling millions of copies. Games like Axel & Pixel, a point-and-click adventure starring a goofball painter and his dog. We got to take it for a spin recently at 2K's studios and were impressed with what we saw.
The XBL "Deal of the Week" for the month of June are...
Operation Anchorage is still a rip off for 560 MS points.They should sell it for 100 points instead.
What they should do is bundle them, ancorage, broken steel and the pitt for $20. That's be nice because who will seriously only buy one expansion?
Also does anyone get the feeling Broken steel was infact the original ending to the game just they didn't have enough time to finish it.
Or people could always not buy it if they are so paranoid about penny pinching. I walk dogs after work, I get about $20 a dog each week, I in turn use that money for appliance and my xbox as well as PS3 utilities to purchase certain things online to enhance my gaming experience. I really don't see why people see DLC then in turn whine about the price as if they have to buy it.
Anchorage isn't great, but there aren't too many things that you can get that are better for $7.
Yes, I do think DLC tends to cost too much, but reality is that gamers have been spoiled. They now turn around b!tch every moment they can about DLC for the sake of it. I for one is just happy that I get extra content and that I can choose if I want it or not. For instance, I love Ninja Gaiden 2 and Team Ninja put out Mission Modes as DLC. Without that, my gaming enjoyment with NG2 might be a little shorter. I don't care that I have to pay extra, I want it!!!
People should commend MS for putting stuff on sale and buy it to show that there is demand. Instead, they are getting b!tched at for putting out extra content.
If you don't like it, don't buy it. Nobody forced you to buy it. Do any of you walk in to the Porsche dealership then takes a look at the price and b!tches about how much they want for it or how about Best Buy (you might relate to that better)? Point is, developers/publishers can charge whatever they want and the only way you can change that is by voting with your wallet, not with your mouth (or should I say comments)!
ahhhh, I never thought I would see SSFIIT HDR go on sale! I guess it makes sense with MvC2 coming in June.
MS deals of the week are so lame. 33% off? I AM NOT TRYING TO START A FANBOY WAR. Just saying, PSN puts their games half off all the time, and I think MS should do the same. Hell, they just gave Kung Fu Fists of Plastic away for FREE!!! I would definitely buy more Xbox Live stuff if they had better sales. That's when I pick up most everything on PSN.
A company will charge as much as they can pending demand. Business isn't charity....
lol price is right? hey bo back! ...but seriously thats nice.
Now that's the kind of prizes I want to be winning playing online!
I didn't realize PrimeTime was going Live on May 15th. I figured they would of saved the launch for E3.
