[Perfect Stu]

thanks

[Bond]

Please put everything E3 related into the E3 forum.

I also believe Xbox.com will have a live feed if this one goes down for some reason.

[RagedHybrid]

bah it's 9:33for me and it hasn't started! no!!!!

[Jason1]

is there going to be a free feed for the Nintendo one?

[dropCGCF]

This is PDT. It's still an hour to go, I believe.

[Teuthida]

Ooh piano.

[Bond]

Yo. Feed is up and running. The camera is just panning through the audience right now.

[Joeiss]

Nothing is hapening for me....

EDIT: I Think it is working now...

[Teuthida]

Me either. I saw the audience for a second and then it went black and stayed that way.

[Crash]

anyone else having a crap connection that keeps buffering?

[Joeiss]

I'm getting some choppy images now of some dude's face

[Joeiss]

its working perfect now!

[Bond]

If the feed Crash posted is chopping up try the lower quality one:

[Bond]

Use that URL. vB is doing something weird with it.

[DarrenMcLeod]

Thanks so much. It's working for me... the low quality, anyways. I wish it was better quality.

EDIT : it's really choppy for me now.

[Teuthida]

It's working... *yawn*

[Crash]

keeps cutting out... dammit

[Bond]

"Microsoft confirmed three major milestones: Japanese RPG giant Square Enix will create role-playing games for Xbox 360, starting with Final Fantasy XI with full Xbox Live compatibility. The game's content will remain the same, but obviously the graphics will see immense changes and improvements. Additional Square Enix games will follow."

Source: IGN

So this means there will be additional games from Square Enix on top of FFXI. Impressive.

I have a feeling this "live" feed is being delayed.

[Crash]

dammit, had to cancel my Episode III download to make it work. not enough bandwidth.

[Bond]

This is taking forever to start and is beginning to piss me off.

[Vampyr]

Will this conferance, along with the others, be available for download after they are over? I don't have time to sit here tonight and watch this.

[Bond]

You should be able to find them somewhere, yes.

[Crash]

proprietary what the hell????????????????????????????????

[DarrenMcLeod]

TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED.

[Bond]

I remember this from last year, just wait.

[DarrenMcLeod]

THE BACKPACK RETURNS!

[Bond]

This is some nice lighting.

[Crash]

lost my feed

[DarrenMcLeod]

They've got 200 games coming to XBox this year... but it seems every single one is shooting or racing.

[Bond]

Alright, this feed is starting to piss me off. I'm going to sleep. Hopefully there will be some good news when I wake up.

[Blackmane]

25-40 games for the Xbox 360 by this year, so I guess that means for launch.

Also, get the Xbox 360 out to a billion people? I think they are smoking some major herb...

[GameMaster]

Alright, I missed it all. Summary please.

Yeah, that billion people comment made me crack up.

Also, that DOA 4 video was way too long.

[Ginkasa]

This is why God created video game websites such as IGN (http://xbox360.ign.com) and GameSpot (http://www.gamespot.com). It keeps forum members from having to post long summaries of press conferences ^_^
