That would be a first. Or I may have missed the big secrete already. Or it's something lame.
I'm guess lame is going to be the right answer for this one though.
But what the heck, here's a good rumor to throw out there. Lets see if this one has any wings:
MS is releasing a BD drive add-on. The add-on will not only play blu-Ray movies but will also allow 360 owners to play PS3 titles.
Now that would be a ground shaking announcement.
Oh and I'm pretty sure whatever it is they are announcing won't actually show up for consumers for another 8 months to a year.
whack! ps3 is way more powerful and capable than a 360 plus microsoft does not have the rights to use sony format games either
Yeah, um, that's why I called it a *rumor*.
I'm sure that if MS did something like that Sony would buy an ICBM and launch it right at Redmond (figuratively). So calm down.
I do like one of the ideas below about a web browser. But that would not be anywhere near "video game history" status.
"Lot more powerful" is a HUGE stretch... the hardware in both is si similar in power it doesnt even matter. And its pointless to compare specs since they BOTH have 2 different designs... God fanboys are so stupid...
is probably just going to announce that they have the stupidest fans around.
dun dun
Look in the f*cking mirror!
$ony's far more concerned with getting you to buy a lot of blu gay movies than making games for you to play. They make more money off the movies. You have the Atari 7800 of this console war, with 2 year older games finally being released for your "next gen" console. FEAR? Ninja Gaiden HD? Oblivion (oh wait that was only one year late.) Well, you can always wait hopelessly for sony to invest some money in new game development.

Rather than being cryptic speculation, it appears that the actual content of this announcement was broken several hours ago by xbox-scene.com
http://www.xbox-scene.com/xbox1data/sep/EElpAkZFAuiLNeMFGC.php
Combining an audience of approximately 30 million regular users, Microsoft's Ignition program, to be announced tomorrow, will leverage three of its largest services - Xbox Live, Zune, and MSN - to offer customers new music acts. The Ignition program will expose emerging artists to the broad Microsoft audience for a month, with the first participating band being Maximo Park from the UK. The band's first single will be offered as a free exclusive download on Zune, a free music video for download on Xbox Live, and as a streaming video on MSN.
According to Reuters, Microsoft is "demanding exclusive content and hands-on participation from the artists involved." Christina Calio, Microsoft's director of music marketing, said, "We don't want the same thing that is going out on MTV."
Ignition's success will depend in large part on the quality of the acts it promotes. Microsoft is hoping to be a filter for its audience, something MySpace, for instance, currently lacks.
But it's the lack of a filter that many MySpace users enjoy. The ability to "discover" music and recommend it to friends is one of the success stories of the online social networking movement. Microsoft is, in essence, attempting to modernize the MTV model and distribute it over a range of services with which few companies can compete.
If that's the announcement then it is just as I predicted. Lame.
"Greenberg's exact words were "We have a secret unveil for gamers around the world that I think will go down in video game history.""
I don't think Ignition qualifies as something going down into video game history... Plus, I don't think they would announce it through this medium. It would make sense to anounce it through Zune's or MSN's portal...
Not even MS would be dumb enough to claim that something like that is a "secret unveil for gamers around the world that [they] think will go down in video game history." Seeing how it has little to nothing to do with actual video games.
I'm pretty sure this is the announcement. It's nothing that's interests me, but I'm sure some people are gonna love it.
That thanks to the less than stellar attendance of the halo 3 beta, the game will in turn be cancelled, and no more games after this will be released'
The Halo 3 Beta is still in the top 3 for most XBL activity, and according to Bungie over 40 million games have been logged (one game per person in each actual game, ie one btb game equals 16 "games"). Less than stellar my ass
To the Seacrest guy below me, Karaoke Revolution sucks
The release will be that the 360 will have full internet capability/web browsing.
Two that it will be fully backwards capable, so I can play Karaoke revolution.
Third and finally that the 360 absolutely PWNs the pS3 and all of it's 18 lame as hell games.
Fellas you made the right choice getting a 360. World dominance via 360.
seacrest OUT!!!
would say everything this guy said but the opposite
This morning (23May07), Ubisoft revealed that the PS3 is now the "lead platform" for Free Radical's forthcoming shooter, Haze. Originally set for a release on the Xbox 360, PC, and PS3 this spring, the game will now debut solely on the PS3 this fall.
In fact, the fact sheet provided by Ubisoft no longer lists the PC or Xbox 360 versions of the game, prompting some speculation that it may become PS3-exclusive. The UK Haze site for the game also only bears the PS3 logo...
thats one game that was gonna be on the 360 that is now a ps3 exclusive, the ps3 has lost so many exclusives to xbox 360, i really dont mind losing 1 game that doesnt look that great to me.
Gotta love fanboys. the PS3 version is the one that's about to get cancelled.
PC version is CERTAIN to be released.
It is a TIMED exclusive, meaning it will be on the PS3 then come out on the PC and 360. We already knew this.
the game sucks
LMAO O saw the demo of Haze on saterlite tv and it really is nothing special, its average and the FPS were terrible this game should not come to the 360 its not needed or wanted..
they bought sony lol. or they will give a full web browser with every thing or the ability to run windows vista on xbox 360 i hope for vista
Microsoft easily has the money to purchase Sony, if wall st, would let them.
if microsoft was so rich, why would they make a system where more than half brake down
To teach people who don't know the difference between brake and break a well-deserved lesson. Now go back to school
Microsoft will stop producing and kill off all support for the xbox 360 and move on to the "REAL" next-gen console out next year!!!! it will be named the xbox Infinity and play HD-DVD and Blu-Ray games. WoW!!!
The PS3 will need an upgrade too because it's already showing clear signs it is a failed system and the 360 whoops it in graphics and quality game selection.
You should have your license revoke for being able to use that S/N and not actually use it.
First off the ps3 is fine, all they need is a lower price and a few good games. And which i mean:
1.Haze
2.GTA4
3.MGS4 which will now be release in 07 haha
4.Ninja gaiden sigma seeming how its revamped from the original meaning its better in graphics, combat system, etc. Dont believe me check this link out and find out for your self.
http://www.gamegrep.com/screenshots/2322-new_screens_of_ninja_gaiden_sigma/
It seems the ps3 has the games to start its comeback.
It may be some sort of next gen Eyetoy-esque video recognition. I quote Bill Gates at a conference a few days ago:
"As we get natural input, that will cause a change... Software is doing vision and so, you know, imagine a game machine where you’re just going to pick up the bat and swing it or the tennis racket and swing it.”
As the similarities behind his concept and that of the Wii were pointed out, Gates responded: “No, that’s not it. You can’t pick up your tennis racket. And swing it.”
“You can’t sit there with your friends and do those natural things. That’s a 3D positional device. This is video recognition,” he added."
We already know about this since there were videos on youtube.com of the Eyetoy like. The announcement is probably going to be something having to do with the hardware it self. Damn, I hate waiting in anticipation. So curious....
Just like the Previous Poster knowing the way MS is "Innovating" It would probably be a Camera named Eye Game that will enable players to talk to the New M$ house and will feature a MiiMote for gesture recognition....It may even run the M$ Linux(aka as Suse) :P
MGS4 or resident evil 5 is exclusive to XBOX360.
Capcom and/or Konami have been bought out by M$
The motion sensor style thingy he was twittering on about.
65mm chip so they will all stop overheating = Go down in history as a *****ING miracle.
Actually all they have to do is sign a purchase with lowes for nuts and washers and throw out the xclamps fixes every 3RLOD 360 but they just use epoxy now days.....
Microsoft finally makes an XBOX 360 model that is quiet and does not scratch discs and does not die (RRoD)
They already do. 90% them (over the lifetime.) Just make it 99.99%.
If this announcement has anything to do with Pac-man, I will go crazy.
uses the same exact same stuff as the 360,it just has 120gb hdd and hdmi,so it has the same heat issues,and i dont know y yall think its quiter
it is ether going to be microsofts first hand held gaming system, voice recognition to do what ever on the 360 (turn on, off, check live, go...ect) , all games will be bought via live, or possiabley even that they are going to release a new console
they will announce 100% complete compatibility of the back catalog xbox games for use on the 360! Like I said, its a dream, but it sure would create more revenue for them from folks that want to play some older titles as well as folks who purchased 360's that never owned an original xbox. The product is already there, why not try to generate revenue and at the same time satisfy your customer base extremely well?
No, the only way to have 100% BC is to include original XBOX hardware in the 360, which MS doesn't own the rights to. They keep issuing updates, so another update wouldn't exactly change gaming history.
MGS and FF13 coming xbox360 next year
ps3 on 360 hahahha Lol thats retarded who ever said that stupid post his retarded GOD! and the sony fan boys who read this wtf is wrong with you this is xbbox 360 page go screw yourself on a ps3 forum and i Thin kthe mayor anucment is that Xbox portable Well Possible?
I bet its that DNA research thing or whatever @home something... possibly running on the 360 perhaps.
we all know that it's going to be "Reflective Photogenetics." The ability to recognize the user by the reflection of his/her monitor.
what is this star trek, if that was true that would be awesome but dude comeon we live in 2007 not 2008.....lollll
unless you have some sort of light-sensing monitor or a camera pointed at it the 360 would have no way of recoginizing that. god people can be stupid.
Xbox Portable
The Xbox 360 “Pac-Man” World Champion will receive worldwide acclaim from being the first-ever Xbox 360 “Pac-Man” World Champion and gain a place in gaming history. The winner of the finals will also receive other great prizes
its going to be something lame... the first ever international pc-man champ... only possible because of xbox live... blah blah blah
.... a PS HOME clone.
Microsoft isn't interested in offering a service like that. You already can do the things that home offers, just without the 3D avatars. Besides, all home is is an excuse to charge people for crap on the PSN.
HAVE YOU GUYS NOT READ ALL THE COMMENTS ON THIS THREAD....THE ANNOUCEMENT WAS ALREADY LEAKED AND THERE IS A LINK ABOVE WITH THE INFORMATION....
ITS A STUPID MUSIC ANNOUCMENT
^^^
I don't think MS would be that stupid to claim a 'stupid music announcement' as a 'secret unveil for gamers around the world that I think will go down in video game history.'
Try using some logic for once.
Only a company like sony would heavily hype something disapointing like that. For example, the CELL! Wasn't that supposed to be the best gaming processor in the world?
Sounds interesting. They haven't said anything like that before that I can recall. Can't wait.
Each and every 360 has a secretly contained 1 megaton bomb that will now detonate.
lol
u know lol aside, think about they could have done something similar to that if they wanted too lol not physically but biology like an airborne virus for people who open their case-hackers! lol
but think about it would be perfect as a terrorist weapon... yikes!
The Halo 3 Campaing Beta (only with the purchase of Vista).......now seriously I think the announcement will be that theyre adding a web browser with an os kind of feel to it. A Store for music (zune). My less probable speculations are ability to use mouse and keyboard bcause of the release of shadowrun or installing vista or xp onto it with full capability.
im not looking forward to getting pwnd by vista users
free xbox liveeeeeeeee
Just heard the rumour - MGS4 is coming to 360!!
We all knew it'd happen sooner or later but now its gonna be simaltaneous (however u spell it) release with ps3!
The development of CRYSIS on the 360...
huge disappointment to say the least..
Today Microsoft Corp. and NAMCO BANDAI Games made video game history by unveiling the “Pac-Man Championship Edition” — featuring the first new Pac-Man mazes in more than 26 years — available only on the Xbox 360™.
The “Pac-Man Championship Edition” is the same beloved “Pac-Man” game played in arcades of the ’80s but is updated with new features that former “Pac-Man” fanatics and new generations of fans alike will love. It includes new mazes that dynamically change shape during gameplay, six new timed game modes, new soundtracks and high-definition (HD) graphics. Details include the following:
• Classic 2-D “Pac-Man” presentation with a new, modern look in HD
• Six new, timed game modes:
The Championship Mode. This is the main game mode designed by NAMCO BANDAI Games and Iwatani specifically for the championship round of the Xbox 360 Pac-Man World Championship. This mode – as well as all others within the “Pac-Man Championship Edition” – features redesigned mazes with wide maze walls and a widescreen configuration to better enable high-speed game play. Timed limit of five minutes.
Challenge Mode 1 (Patience and Reward Course). This mode is an evolution of the Championship Mode. Patience mazes strategically offer fewer Power Pellets and Reward mazes provide a large number of Power Pellets – providing unique challenges and rewards for the player. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
Challenge Mode 2 (The Darkness Course). In this mode, only the area directly around Pac-Man and the Ghosts is visible and the maze walls are completely hidden. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
Extra Mode 1 (The Freeway Course). An extremely high-speed mode for advanced players, this mode features warp-speed Pac-Man and Ghosts and plenty of tunnels. Timed limit of five minutes.
Extra Mode 2 (The Manhattan Course). A mode inspired by the streets of Manhattan — the home for the first-ever Xbox 360 Pac-Man World Championship. Timed limit of five minutes.
Extra Mode 3 (The Overall Course). A mix of all other modes resulting in extreme mazes for the most devout Pac-Man fans. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
