Sound...'too good' under one package...although some of those are real, in fact already happen. Like paramount pictures partner with microsoft.

Yummy...hope it's real!

Price drops won't be announced so far in advance, it has to happen close to the announcements or people would stop buying.. maybe some other fanboy spreading rumours?

The Urban Game has already been mentioned before... errr.. Crackdown was it?

Getting actual MSPoints from Gamerscore? VERY risky move...

Free XBox Live gold... I have mixed feelings about this.. tongue.gif paid keeps all the whiners aways tongue.gif

New look for the dashboard? Depends on how you define new look I guess, new blades? ok.. totally look and work differently, I don't think so.

More XBox Live Arcade game goodness.. BRING IT ON!!!

OK... back to Geometry Wars!

Halo 3 March '07?

So that would mean almost 2 years and 2 months after Halo 2? Sounds like Bungie could do it, but seems a bit fast. I don't mind waiting until November '07 as long as they make Halo 3 as good as they can

I totally agree with you. Quality worths the wait. But, I think Bungie will be a little rush as Halo3 must be released before or when PS3 is released according to Bill Gates.

Price drop wont be so ealy la.. if till OCT also not yet 1 year. PS2 price just announced price drop a gay ago.
Anyhow E3 for me, is a time for Sony to show the real footage of PS3 and not some pre-rendered crap.

Very unlikely...i remember some microsoft dudez (or is it peter moore) said chances of seeing halo 3 footage in this e3 is quite slim....

The highlight should be on GeOW i guess....

Mr.LKM, that one PR talk only la....

I knew it was a bit too early. But who knows, Bungie's still keeping quiet about their "Next Project".
