Maybe it will be five minutes dedicated to that "Freedom" wand thingy that motion senses and stuff. You know like the Wii already did? *And why is this article linked to A-Train? lolzSunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:16 PM
Interesting...is this going to be televised anywhere?Sunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:15 PM
The Simpsons Arcade Game coming to XBLA. Please God...Sunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:15 PM
I wouldn't be surprised if this is about the wand patent that's meant to out-do Vuzix and Nintendo's current creations...Sunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:17 PM
G4TV... all day long. Seriously from 1-10pm They conferences will be streamed live on their website... As for the announcement it'll be something that will cost us money. like the VIP service or something.Sunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:20 PM
maybe its an announcement about them being better than sony and nintendo! lolSunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:19 PM
G4 E3 2009Sunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:20 PM
I hope its for something worthwhile, like a new game or hardware announcement(which is completely unrealistic)Sunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:21 PM
Probably another friggin Halo game.Sunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:22 PM
maybe itll be an anouncement about dinosaurs... a boy can only hopeSunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:21 PM
I really doubt this has anything to do with the motion sensing (if is indeed a reality), that'll be a huge part of their conference if they're really going through with it. And yeah, it'll be televised on G4 -- Also make sure to tune into our live blogging, especially if you can't watch it live.Sunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:25 PM

People living on the west coast in the US and do not have Satellite I'd advise you to watch on g4.com or stay around here for live updates cause the show doesn't start on cable until 3 hours after. Stupid tv scheduling.Sunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:26 PM
KOTOR III WOULD ROCK!Sunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:37 PM

maybe its Your in the Movies 2;)Sunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:50 PM
Its probably going to be about whatever they talk about in those 5 minutes, so the smartest thing would probably be to uuummm.......watch those 5 minutes. :pSunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:50 PM
good,The sooner it starts the better.I can't wait for bioshock 2,call of duty Modern warfare 2,and assasins creed 2.And among other things (Except halo,I fucking hate that game,reason being all the Nerds off that game moved to call of duty and started jumping around like idiots)easiest targets in the world though,but I think jumping is pointless.You wanna jump around,play halo,that games made for that stupid shit.Anyways,Back to what I was saying,I want to see a official trailer for assasins creed 2,as well as some gameplay for Bioshock 2.And some RPGs would be nice too.I can't wait,But unfortunatly for us east coasters we hafta wait till 1 ish.Well time to get to sleep if I want to be wide awake for it,goodnightSunday, May 31, 2009 @ 11:58 PM
more or less itll b about the VIP rumors or somethin...no emergency announcement would be for a specific game I wudnt think.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 12:13 AM
yay, Im not the only one who thinks it'llbe about the VIP service as I mentioned in my earlier postMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 12:13 AM
Well with all the Beta info for 1 V. 100 tomorrow, I'm guessing it's about that..or Halo: ODST since one of it's announcements was delayed sometime last year.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 12:19 AM
Free MS points to everyone!Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 12:19 AM
Holy crap 1 Vs. 100 is coming out on the 360? Fucking nice,I like game show games for the most part,except the price is right on the wii,I hated that one.I wished they would always do more game show video games.Like I want to see Deal or no Deal.Or did that already come out somewhere on the 360 already and I missed it?Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 12:24 AM
XBLA games and wireless controller connectivity to the new zune! A guy can wish right?Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 12:18 AM
My bet is on a new Xbox that is a unification of all systems: Wii's motion sensor, PS3's blu ray capabilities, and xbox's... awesomeness. Oh, and it will be able to play games from all systems dating back to the NES (+ pong) lol. But seriously, i bet it will be their next system, if they continue their 4 year trend (Xbox 2001 & Xbox 360 2005) it should at least be announced sometime this year and what better time than E3Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 12:30 AM
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMGMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 12:33 AM
Microsoft is going to announce that they are buying cannada.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 12:34 AM
A "very special announcement"? realistically this could mean either... 1: Halo Chronicles (Bungie+Peter Jackson game) 2: Gears of War 3 3: Xbox 3 console 4: Xbox Live Update (VIP Feature 5: Live Demonstraion of SKY player on Xbox 360 6: Fable 3 my money is on a new game announcement from the AAA titlesMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 12:40 AM
Hopefully its something good not stupid like usualMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 01:02 AM
why dont u people just watch it on xbox.com? cant be that big if its only an extra 5 minsMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 01:53 AM
@36 1. Gears of War 3 was announced back when Gears of War 1 was released as they said that the series was going to be a triliogy. (Other games that were announced to be trilogys were Assassins Creed, Mass Effect, Mirrors Edge, Bioshock and many more.) 2. Fable 3 has already been confirmed, there was an article on this website about it, and also Fable 4 and 5 have also been speculated although they are inevitable. 3. Halo Chronicles is the Peter Jackson and Bungie FILM not a game.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 02:01 AM
@38-Or it could be soooo big that all they need to do is sho us only 5 mins an than hav us askyn for mor...nott askyn but prolly beggin for mor......wyld guess.......juss to oppose yur opinion : )Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 02:16 AM
I'm gonna be missing the first 2hrs and a half :( Stupid school :PMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 02:13 AM
oh i know, i know. They are going to announce live is now free, and im out $40, for the remaining 361 days left on my subscription. im kidding, but wouldn't it be pretty cool though.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 02:19 AM
Is that 5.25 PM GMT right?Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 02:32 AM
#39. Mirrors edge is a chronicle O_O SHEET. THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME. >< But the whole 5 minutes thing is probably for something stupid.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 02:32 AM
@JC PDT is GMT-7 so that makes it 5.25 PM GMT. In the UK we are in BST which is GMT+1, which makes it 6.25pm (1825hrs).Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 02:47 AM
Probably a zune phone or gaming zune or something. Maybe someone's speech is just running long. Is there a sony/nintendo press conference ending just before? They might be trying to steal viewers from their big end of speech announcementsMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 02:59 AM
PLEASE LET IT BE THAT STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT 3 WILL BE A 360 EXCLUSIVE!!! AND WILL COME OUT LATER THIS YEAR!!!Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 03:00 AM
PDT is pacific time right?? if so then it's GMT -8...i am 100% sure of that...i live in californiaMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 03:06 AM
@39 Peter Jackson works signed a deal with a microsoft to produce games, Halo Chronicles being one of them, there's still no proper announcement about the film. But Jackson is working on games more so. Rumour had it that chronicles is going to be about li'l chief becoming a SpartanMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 03:30 AM
this is wishfull thinking but duke nukem forevers back on its way that would be awesome but probably not gonna happen. i think its the new xbox consleMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 03:37 AM
watch them say Final Fantasy is coming out on Xbox this year, and PS3 next year.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 03:32 AM
@45, okay. Thanks!Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 03:51 AM
so 6.25pm in UK?Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 04:00 AM
They need to spend those 5 minutes telling us how we will soon be getting more then brag rights for all these damn achievement points! Maybe there gonna tell us they finally fixed RROD and error codes(yeah right).Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 04:05 AM
XBOX 3 i hope (yeah right)!! More than likely the stupid Wii remote rip off though, you watch.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 04:10 AM
To everyone who says it will be a new xbox, why the fuck would they only use 5 minutes to announce a enw consloe? I actually think e3 isnt the best time to announce a console because you will only have like 10 minutes to talk about it. I think it might be new xbox live feature.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 04:15 AM
This is interesting. My thoughts are that it won't be Xbox 3 (5 minutes for that? C'mon), the motion sensor tech or the deal with Sky (both already known about, therefore not an 'announcement'), or any obvious triple A title (they would have known about this way before, and would therefore have incorporated it into the presentation). I think the most likely is the last minute capture of a multi format title now exclusive (timed at least) for Xbox, or a new, unknown title that wasn't going to be ready, but now is. Either that, or its a workman and indian chief outfit for the Avatars, so we can finally dress up as any one of the Village People.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 04:54 AM
well im there and havent got any sleep im to excited!!!!Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 05:01 AM
gutted i start work at 5pm (BST) so i'll have to wait till i get back to find out what they've anounced. :(Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 05:04 AM
Kotaku are guessing for a Halo game while Monster something(can't remember website name)have spotted an achievement page on xbox.com called Halo: Reach. E3 is so Exciting!!Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 05:07 AM
Microsoft have bought Nintendo? Or that life jackets can be found under their chairs?Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 05:26 AM
gears of war 3 will be announced! LOLMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 05:33 AM
@10 i fucking wish it were another halo game...if they announced ODST would drop that day i think i would break into hysteria from the sheer excitementMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 05:27 AM
no microsoft bought out the rights to yet another ps3 only game but which one? Oh wait i know batman arkahm assylum the 360 get the joker and bane as playable chars lolMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 06:14 AM
xbox live will be free = console war winMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 06:13 AM
If you think about it this 'last minute' announcement MUST be coming from an independant publisher as Microsoft would've known about their own companies work. Now Geoff Keighley said that one company would be on all of the consoles stages, so this could mean that microsoft have secured timed exclusive rights for it or Peter Molyneux said that his unannounced game would be at E3, i wonder if this is anexclusive for the 360? Wouldn't it be mega funny if Microsoft had made Final Fantasy XIII an xbox 360 exclusive!!!!! ps3 fans would die, lol. We'll have to wait and see!!!Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 06:19 AM
Lmao, If ODST was just a cover up and they are actually making Halo 4, I think I'd die of amazement. But really, it's either a new game or for the motion stick.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 06:21 AM
It's clearly Timesplitters 4, IT'S WHAT WE ALL WANT ;) Or maybe that's just me...Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 06:21 AM
And damn, I'll be at school. This sucks, I wanted to see it live... Oh well, time to see boring old text!Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 06:30 AM
Maybe they're going to ask for bailout money.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 06:30 AM
A very special announcement. Wow, I can't wait =D Thanks for letting us know that it starts five minutes early, I'll be sure to go to IGN a little early to see it.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 06:47 AM
it has to be an unplanned thing that would requirer them to start a wee bit early, but what can u fit in 5 mins with? my guess, something for the dashboard.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 07:09 AM
Another 5 minutes to spend talking about avatars...Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 07:28 AM
@#68 its on at 6.25PM BST, so if you in UK i doubt you'll be in school @#69 god that would be cool!!!!!!! lol at reweps commentMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 07:43 AM
'We microsoft are proud to announce the prequel to the award winning single player game: My horse and me. We're giving it a new twist, it's a prequel, in the time your horse got born. Coming Q1 2011, here is My Horse and Me: Horse of life' *Shows trailer* *Huge applause* 'Thank you, and here is another announced ment Gears of Halo: Duty.' *Shows trailer* *Suprised face! :O*Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 07:49 AM
'Thank you, and here is another announced ment Gears of Halo: Duty.' Announced ment? Stupidity. Announcement. Dumb microsoft lol.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 07:14 AM
as much as i can hope for something legit its prolly gonna be something thats not gonna be to interesting for me so :(Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 08:06 AM
It'll either be about the VIP service. Or it will be about the next game from Microsoft: Gears of Halo: Modern Warfare 3+4+6 in which Master Chief, Marcus Fenix, and Soap McTavish team up and fight a new enemy, The Locu-Flood-TerroristsMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 08:30 AM
XBOXLIVE is nooow...... FREEEEEE!!!!!! lolMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 08:35 AM
There are some really stupid comments on here... I'm excited about it, i can see it being another Xbox buys PS3 exclusive so we get it at the same time deal.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 09:50 AM
By them adding time it almost comes across as something they weren't sure they would be able to have done in time to announce. To me this would exclude the motion tech as that has been known about. I'm going to guess it is either some sort exclusive title that was just made exclusive to the 360 or prehaps Crysis2.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 10:10 AM
please be gears of war 3, and xbox live is going free, and call of duty modern warfare 2 and assassins creed are going to be out in july !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 10:27 AM
@49 RE. Halo Chronicles Yeah I found out it is actually another series of Halo games announced way back in 2006. Sorry dudesMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 10:58 AM
five minutes explaining why they charge for BS DLC.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 10:13 AM
@69 Time Splitters was amazing. Crytek (Free Radical) better make a Time Splitters 4 at some point. Anyway what were microsoft talking about in this? Unless it hasnt happened yet? (I suck at working it out Time Zones)Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 10:19 AM
its proboly fuck all there just gonna play a rick rolled video to piss us of lolMonday, June 01, 2009 @ 11:17 AM
New xbox maybe? or maybe an updated version - better graphics etc???Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 11:23 AM
maybe the 1 vs 100 debut? thought that was being released today...Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 11:48 AM
I'd bet it's something lame like a "celebrity guest" or Peter Moore comming back to Xbox. You'd think that any worthwile "news" about games would already be in their conference. But XBLA games on Zune3, that would make my day.Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 12:31 PM
This is it? The Beatles Rock Band is the reason for the 5 minute early start?? *disappointed*Monday, June 01, 2009 @ 12:57 PM
If that really was it then Microsoft must be run by really dull people. I missed the start and tuned in to the Cock Band announcement, was there anything before it?Tuesday, June 02, 2009 @ 05:42 PM
not worth the 5 min early really, could have waited 5 min to make something to eat, get a drink, take a nice well relaxed shit
