Updating now, LOL look at what the media copies of Endless Ocean 2 come with:

Today in San Francisco, Microsoft is holding its X10 showcase event for the press, and alongside it, the company has made announcements about the next wave of content and partnerships coming to the Xbox 360 system.

Notably, Microsoft has partnered with Activision Blizzard and Infinity Ward for an exclusive Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 content pack to be released to the platform this spring. It is also partnering with Capcom for exclusive Dead Rising 2 DLC, titled Dead Rising 2: CASE ZERO. These moves seemingly cement a strategy begun with Grand Theft Auto IV of locking down exclusive DLC as platform-exclusive titles become increasingly difficult to come by.

The company has also confirmed that the public beta of Bungie's Halo: Reach will begin May 3. The beta codes are distributed via last year's Halo: ODST.

Microsoft has also announced a partnership with Square Enix to release a Final Fantasy XIII console bundle which includes an Xbox 360 unit with a 250 GB hard drive, two controllers, and the game, for $399.

While there was an FFXIII PlayStation 3 bundle in Japan with a specially decorated version of the console, Microsoft has scored the exclusive console bundle in the West. The game releases in Western territories March 9.

The company has also announced an Xbox Live Arcade Block Party promotion this March. It appears to be similar to its successful "Summer of Arcade" promotion which launched such hits as Braid and Shadow Complex, among others. This Spring, Microsoft will launch Toy Soldiers, Perfect Dark, Scrap Metal, and its Game Room service to Xbox Live.

There are also updates on previously-announced games, including a May 18 North American release date for Remedy's Alan Wake and Ruffian's Crackdown 2 "later this year."

Updates done, carpel tunnel setting in.

Could none of you bastards have done a few X10 updates damnit?

Can anyone see these moving? Animated GIFs don't seem to work with this PC.

4 minutes 25 seconds:

Keighley

Is this thing going to outsell MW2?

Reggie

Well modern warfare 2's on two platforms right?

K

Well on a single platform?

R

So, absolutely. I say that unequivocably.

K

You're gonna sell more copies of NSMB Wii than MW will on 360?

R

On, on... one particular platform....

K

(slips question in very quickly whilst reggie is still carrying on his sentance) On 360?

R

.... I do believe so.

Watching the video it's pretty clear to methat  Reggie was just completing his train of thought as Keighly tried to slip questions in there. Reggie said "On one particular platform ... I do believe so."

You can see in Reggies eyes he was trying to complete his train of thought.

Skip NSMB Wii? No way! I'd much rather get that game then a bunch of those other games you mentioned plus I'm totally not interested in De Blob at all.


Good updates there GG, I pretty much seen them all before already though. Still there are some new ones I'll check out. Lots of great stuff mentioned at x10. I REALLY can't wait for the Halo Reach beta. I really got a kick out of Gears of War crew and Wesker invading Lost Planet 2. Can't wait for that game it's going to be all kinds of awesomeness. Looking forward to Dead Rising 2 and that XBLA download, Case Zero, sounds very cool.

Is there some link here?

NGamer on Nintendo's upcoming summit "it threatens to be better than their last two E3s glued together"

Nintendo digitally distributing games To Wii's with hardrives. Endless Ocean 2 was the first

It turns out that Nintendo actually sent a digital copy of the game over the internet. This game copy was then played by IGN via a Wii equipped with a hard drive. We know that Nintendo has already put multiple hard drive-equipped Wiis in hotels and other special locations, but it seems that some of these units have made their ways to reviewers. It seems like an awfully big step for a company like Nintendo.

*Grabs archie and holds him close*

People!

I've been alone here for the past  3 hrs.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! *runs away*

Come back. Come back Archie! I have Fable 3 and Lost Planet 2 right here under my arm. I promise!

*it's man-lingerie*

Hey, this isn't Natal.

I can't believe how far down have we descended when something such as that Reggie quote gets so much attention. >_<

I'm getting more excited about Fable 3's execution, and the way it tries to simplify things regarding HUDs and NPC interaction. I need better looking females, though. They all look like ugly hobos, or meth addicts.

So, so far X10 has been about Fable 3, MW2 DLC, and 360 FF bundles?

Yeah, I can see your gifs, GG. They look amazing.

How come I can't see them with IE8?

It seems to be just on this old laptop.

The reggie thing is because its part of this ongoing Reggie Vs Keighley set of challenges, where they usually play each other on a game on GTTV.

I'm suprised that Fable 3 wasn't more Natal focused after Molyneux's enthusiasm for it.

Dunno. I use Chrome here at work, and sometimes Yoda posts images that I can't see, but that show up on Firefox at home.

Yeah, I was expecting some talk about Natal integration after all that fuss. I mean, not entirely motion-controlled because that would suck, but some sort of integration in certain areas of the game. Like head tracking for some responses while talking to NPCs or bartering in businesses.

Yeah that would have been cool. Reading your emotions for instance say you had a quest where some dude asked you to go pretend to be happy because you had to pretend that something that didn't happen, happened. And then the Natal could tell by your fake acting whether you were doing allright.

I can't believe that I basically didn't get to play games like TWENY and Fable 2 basically because I order them online and get told that they can't get stock and cancel my order.

SteelAttack said:

What? You can't get them on retail if online distribution fails on you? Are you a hermit? Like Sandra Bullock in that movie? She ordered everything online.

Basically when I order something, I get an email saying they can't get it so the money I had allocated for that game then goes to something else. When they told me Fable 2 was cancelled I spent the money on GTA episodes from liberty city stories, so that money is gone. Same for TWENY, I can't remember what I ordered instead, maybe it was mario and luigi 2.
