Yes, it says private press showing which is exactly what I stated.  Are you not understanding the difference.

No. Showcase only... read again... it is a hand-ons with games and devs... no press conference, no PR, no presentation, etc... no livestream because there is no press conference to stream lol.

"As Phil Spencer said last week, we’re hosting an small invite only media event on Tuesday, 20 August where we’ll share some news and give media a chance to experience gaming on Xbox One first hand."

"He also specified that the showcase event on tuesday morning will include a really short presentation on stage, talking about some “Unique exclusive” coming to Xbox One, but most of the time will be dedicated to the press spending time with the developers and with their games. It will basically be “a room with a lot of hands-on”. There will also be a “community showcase” in the evening."

 

Maybe we are getting confused with what a press only event is because you just explained it.  They get hands on with the device, they get to interview people responsible for the hardware and software.  They get to demo the features released so far and new info MS will reveal.  That is what a press only event usually is.  Why waste the press time with a long winded speach when they can go directly to the source and get all the info they desire.
