So, like, if they're not allowed to bring in devices to capture or communicate, are people going to hang back at the doors, tapping Morse code loud enough to be heard on the outside and where it will be transcribed and updated to the internet from there?

 

[LQX]

Will tnonights event be streaming or do we have to wait until the TV broadcast?

Wait for the TV broadcast.

Hehe. They are allowed to say whatever once they are done. Just not show pictures/videos.

 

[riceandbeans]

No media capture is allowed, but I'm sure people will be able to talk about it. Gagging people for a day or so wouldn't be feasible, or enforceable...you really think MS would sue some celeb for twittering about it or blabbing to a journalist?

So, in theory, no media from the event...but reports? Yeah, I expect so. At least afterwards.

That's what I don't understand though. They don't have an NDA, yet the entire show can be live blogged and probably feature some leaked videos. What's the point of showing it at E3 then if we already know everything that's been revealed and certain gaming journalists will just be rewatching the event they went to Sunday?

How are they going to Liveblog when no electronic devices are allowed in.

 

[Feep]

How are they going to Liveblog when no electronic devices are allowed in.

They'll pry my phone from my cold, dead hands.

DROID

 

[brotkasten]

Those electronic devices are getting smaller and smaller. I'm sure you can hide them somewhere.

 

[BurritoBushido]

They need a pack mule. Someone can just swallow a bunch of press phones and then hurl them once they are in.

 

[riceandbeans]

How are they going to Liveblog when no electronic devices are allowed in.

Okay... now I'm getting even more confused. Then what's with CVG saying they're going to liveblog? Or is that after the show?

CVG says they'll live blog the event

 

[AndyD]

Okay... now I'm getting even more confused. Then what's with CVG saying they're going to liveblog? Or is that after the show?

Words are fine, just no pictures or movies.

 

[Ricker]

What sort of people got invited to tonight's event? Celebs, press?

Probably yeah,all the guys from the big sites I guess and G4 and all,family ,friends and what not

 

[derFeef]

Okay... now I'm getting even more confused. Then what's with CVG saying they're going to liveblog? Or is that after the show?

They are mixing the events up, they are not allowed to bring devices. For the 100th time now

 

[-COOLIO-]

:lol

 

[Feep]

I just want to say that I just checked my confirmation E-mail AND an E-mail sent to me today by a Microsoft press rep, and neither said anything about banning electronic devices. My phone is coming in with me whether they like it or not.

 

[Darthdevidem01]

Wow CVG usually research well, Big FAIL on their part to mess up things like this.

 

[Dabanton]

It wouldn't surprise me if they'll have guys with nightvison cameras scanning the crowd during the show.

But i'll applaud anyone getting any video out of there. :lol

Don't worry we'll prepare the bail money.

 

[TheOddOne]

Maby one of their core titles is developed by Spawnpoint studios? On their hiring pages they do mention to help develop a new gaming category for the Xbox 360 Natal program.

 

[subversus]

Danish Game lists Natal pricing at 1,299 DKK/£140

haha, good luck with that

 

[Razor210]

Should I feel weird that I'm now strongly anticipating Microsoft's conference tomorrow?

For all this hoopla they're making about this, it surely can't be just another Ricochet demo.

Brrr, I am freezing.

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

It frustrates me so much seeing "How can you pull a trigger?" brought up time and time again by the detractors. Talk about totally missing the point.

Old. We already had a discussion about this some pages back.

Seriously. You just say, "PEWPEWPEW!" and Natal takes care of the rest.

People are stuck thinking that Natal is going to replace the controller all together.

 

[derFeef]

People are stuck thinking it wants to be eyetoy or the Wii.

 

[subversus]

yep

It's the second time this price (about 200$) comes up

 

[blackdevil]

yep

It's the second time this price (about 200$) comes up

so?

 

[MightyHedgehog]

yep

It's the second time this price (about 200$) comes up

Do you wanna bet that the camera will launch at that price? I bet that it starts below $100 in the US.

 

[Benjamin1981]

so how many hours til the event starts?

 

[Vamphuntr]

I hope they show some real games and not some Wii Sports wannabe.

Microsoft rehearsal #2. They're nervous about people tweeting the secrets! Shhhh

You're our man on the scene on this one, don't let us down!

 

[blackdevil]

What`s a "real" game?

 

[Peff]

so how many hours til the event starts?

4:20 I believe.

 

[S1kkZ]

I hope they show some real games and not some Wii Sports wannabe.

they will have the casual stuff (like sony had at gdc).

 

[TheOddOne]

I hope they show some real games and not some Wii Sports wannabe.

The natal showcase will be casual oriented, this has been know for a couple of months.

But the press conference might suprise us.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Already answered in the post you quoted.

 

[blackdevil]

Cliff twitter:

They wouldn`t be nervous if they just let the world see the event live. Stupid MS

 

[blackdevil]

Already answered in the post you quoted.

But everybody knows there will be games like this aswell! There will be "real" games too but MS can`t leave the casual Market to Nintendo.

 

[AzBat]

Here's the official for those still not sure...

Here is how things are going down : Natal Premiere tonight. MTV records it. Plays it back Tuesday. It is NOT available LIVE via stream etc.

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

so how many hours til the event starts?

4 hours and 15 minutes. Since E3 last year, I've had my PC time/date looks like this:

It generally helps a lot on the internet, especially when it comes to media since so many trailers/events are scheduled around US time. Just this week alone on GAF it's helped me countless times.

 

[subversus]

Do you wanna bet that the camera will launch at that price? I bet that it starts below $100 in the US.

I don't care really but I would be glad to buy it for 100$ or less. But for 200$?!?!

 

[which1spink]

Is the Natal event at the same place as the press conference?

 

[AzBat]

Here's the official for those still not sure...

More...

And yes, I'll be Tweeting from it tonight....you will want to be watching my tweets.
