Microsoft megatons? 2 announcements in 2 days

The beta release date is definitely NOT a non-announcement. In my mind, that's the MOST important impending announcement.

Halo 3 beta is a non-event?

GTFO

Considering we've known about it for months and knew that it would drop this spring, likely sometime close to the release of Crackdown? Yes, non-event.

Agreed!

Try it ant1532!

Take your 360 and wrap in two towels, turn it on and leave it alone for 20 minutes. Shut it down and let it cool off, cross your fingers.
Hold on :lol...

Is this serious?

Or are you just trying to overheat my 360 and make it explode or burn the towels!?!!?


And damn it, I wish I didn't have 1532 at the end of my name lol. You can just say Ant.

Better yet, boil your 360!

If the Halo 3 beta is announced and release tonight or tommorrow... you are seriously going to be eating those words. The forums will go crazy with Master Chief lovin'

It will be INSANE!@
 
let's pray that MS has decided to do the world a favor and buy sega and promptly cleanse them down so they can't screw up any more of their franchises.

let's see they're saying biggest since CES, where we saw pretty much nothing, so the second must be chinese women dying in factories to produce the elite.

yay.

I do not think that means what you think it means...
 
megaton would be free online gaming with live. Gold accounts would get free themes, picture packs, etc...plus demos, etc would be available for gold holders weeks before silver owners.


telling me halo 3 beta starts and elite is shipping wit iptv isnt megaton for me as a gamer.

clan support would make a lot of gears players happy.
Major Nelson addressed this rumor two weeks ago on his show. He said it is NOT coming in the spring update, but hinted it would for the fall.

Dead serious. It works, check out this thread.

My 360 has been working for 2 weeks since I did it.

Yes that really works, but try less time 1st, like 10-15 min. I know a guy that ressed his 360 that way.

No, it's true, i also mentioned it in the died xbox thread several weeks ago, but no one listened !
Works even better if you wrap it an electric blanket and turn it on, really.

All this time we tried to keep our 360 nice and cold, when in fact all they wanted was a warm place to stay...


EDIT:

Hasn't clan support been confirmed for the spring update ?
I read a long list of new features i thought was legit
 
my bets on the obvious 360 elite announcement and some Zune action :) perhaps 2nd gen info with support for games...maybe the zune phone
 
I have it on high authority, please trust me, that these excitements are not that great. One is not related to the 360 at all, and the 360 related one is not really that great. This is what I heard, but I can't reveal where. Lets just say she is really close to the announcement....

If you cant tell us why even mention it?

New xbox elite
Halo 3 trailer
price drop
Two announcements. One doesn't have anything to do with the 360.

Why would you make an announcement if it is not a good announcement that is the dumbest thing i have ever heard. haha
Its not going to be horrible. But is not going to be "the greatest news you heard since CES" or "what you will be talking about tomorrow".

I will gladly take a horrid title change if I am wrong.
 
Microsoft announces price INCREASE for Core and Premium, decrease in hard drive size to 1 GB, Xbox Live is now $50 a week.

It makes sense that one of the announcements isn't even game-related since it's on on10, which is Microsoft run but not game-centric at all, right?

haha thats a stretch to say we won't be talking about it tomorrow because even if it sucks we will all bash it tomorrow.
 
Just so everyone knows it says two Microsoft announcements, it doesn't say two Xbox 360 announcements.

It's not going to be anything major or "megaton". Every single thing from Microsoft gets leaked, if there was something huge we would've heard it by now. One of the announcements is probably a pink Zune or something.

OK, let me ask you this. Is the 360 announcement something expected? Or something less akin to the guesses we've been making?
