... is one of the many assumptions of Gerald from Gamespy :

"Microsoft is gearing up for a big presence at E3 which will completely transform how people think about home entertainment," says Mattrick. "We're excited about the momentum that is building in the industry in anticipation of our June 1st media briefing, which will kick off E3 in blockbuster style.""

  There's no better way to celebrate such a vague announcement than with outlandish and completely baseless speculation. Let's throw some crazy ideas out there and see if any stick. Possible headlines coming out of this briefing include:

"Microsoft Unveils Adults-Only channel." This seedy section of Xbox Live specializes in M-rated games and adult-oriented video content. Sadly, Microsoft then censors this content, which turns Xbox Live 21+ into a joke.

"Microsoft and Netflix Partner to Provide Full Catalog on Xbox Live." MS puts up the money and technology necessary to stream HD-quality video of Netflix's entire DVD catalog, and Microsoft wins this generation outright. Please, please, please happen.

"Microsoft Announces Partnership with Sony." Future Xbox 360 hardware will come equipped with a Blu-ray drive, and in exchange Sony gets an online gaming platform that actually works. It'll never happen.

"Xbox Live Arcade Comes to Zune." What's a Zune, you ask? Well you see, a long time ago..."

"Microsoft is gearing up for a big presence at E3 which will completely transform how people think about home entertainment," says Mattrick. "We're excited about the momentum that is building in the industry in anticipation of our June 1st media briefing, which will kick off E3 in blockbuster style."

That is surprising I didn't know there was any momentum to begin with.

The Netflix idea would be pretty nice for 360 owners.

sonys online platform works. I wouldn't trade with live for a second. The average quality of games is much higher, not to mention the dedicated servers.

"... in exchange Sony gets an online gaming platform that actually works"

So I'm not the only to think PSN is méh.....

Misleading thread title BAN HIM !!!!!

Never played on live before check.

I am hoping for 3 new exclusive IP's coming out of E3 for M$.  And more info on 1 vs. 100,  I would like to see netflix improved as well.

Sony doesn't solely own Blu-Ray, the BDA does.

MS have already announced and then reiterated the Project Pink phone, which along with the Zune, can mark their entry into the portable gaming market.

The thread is about the link? So you came to the thread for the link and the information is provided in the thread (maybe not all of it).
