Someone has released this unconfirmed info of what Microsoft will reveal at upcoming E3.
* Xbox 360 Premium Pack price is going to drop $100 in October. * Xbox 360 Core Pack price is going to drop $80 in October * Gears of War is going to be released the last week of October with an huge marketing campaign at global scale. * HD-DVD for the next month of September. Add-on that you can connect to the USB 2.0 port. It is going to be priced for $100 * New HardDisk Drive with 100GB of storage, price and date not specified. * Webcam "My Eye on you", for the month of September with a price of $50 without game and $75 with a game. * Xbox Backward compatibility list is going to be updated in June with 50 new titles * The capacity of the Xbox Live Servers is going to be 5 times more than the actual servers * Halo 3 is going to be in the market the next month of March, in E3 we are going to see the first videos. * Possibility of an "urban game" that could be GTA. Microsoft is working on it and this isn´t a joke. * A possible price drop in Xbox Live Gold or it is going to be free because they are going to get money with promotional advices. * From the next month of October we are going to change some records in some games for "MSpoints". * Paramount Pictures and Microsoft has anounced an agreement where Paramount is going to provide HD content to Xbox Live. * NBC has signed with Microsoft for the possibility of see the online tournaments like an sports live retransmisión. * Aliance between Epic and Microsoft for exclusive content in Xbox Live. * Creation of a Dashboard for kids. * A new service in june: Download and play. * Rare is working in Kameo 2 since before the release of Kameo. Is going to come before than expected. * MS is working for an upgraded friend list (until 200 contacts) * Virtual Console with Sega games before the next month of October * An spectacular upgrade in the number of Xbox Live Arcade games in the next months. * New look for Dashboard.

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..  paid keeps all the whiners aways  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 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.

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