Perfect delivery. Excellently played, sir.

They've decided to release the XBone the same day as the conference, and give each media person at the conference an XBone, so figured there'd be no need for a round-table, since any remaining questions could be answered by buying games and playing with the system. And that would keep the media too busy to cover competing systems at E3.
Microsoft Direct to air instead.
Post-E3 media roundtable to be announced at a later date
The first rule of DRM Club.
not uncomfortable Q&A sessions where nobody wants to ask good questions in front of their competition.
Do you think they will have enough time to have a one-on-one session with every gaming journalist at their event?
Aaaand with that.. my hopes of MS possibly dropping DRM just went down the drain.
I guess they decided to 'xbox, go home'.
...
*grabs coat*
I am guessing G4 , Kotaku plus one or two mainstream press tooonly with those they control....
anyone bets that polygon will have a 1on1?
That Q&A Major Nelson promised with definitive answers about DRM et al. isn't going to be published anytime soon, is it?
In stitches on the workfloor. Fuck your jimmies!
Say something other than clouds.
TV...
Clouds.
You serious?
Don't get me wrong: if Microsoft is really canceling roundtable interviews, that should set off red flags all over the place. But I'm telling you, as a journalist, one-on-one interviews are always better for me (and therefore for my readers) than roundtables. The best answers come from conversations, not uncomfortable Q&A sessions where nobody wants to ask good questions in front of their competition.
my embarassing spelling error seems to live on lol.

Stick to the plan. Stay on message. It was intentional. Intentional.
