MS to launch Xbox 2 on 12 May

well nothings official,mebbe just a rumour, but cant say mite be true

Microsoft won't play second fiddle to Sony next month, the company tacitly said today. It will launch Xbox 2 in a half-hour show on MTV four days before its rival reveals the PlayStation 3.

Late last week it appeared both companies had planned to launch their respective next-generation consoles on 16 May - a day before the start of the E3 games industry show, natch - at different events in Los Angeles. Sony's launch was - and still is, we assume - scheduled to take place at 3PM PST. Microsoft's meeting was booked for 6PM.

I hope to be able to watch the show Anybody knows about the time it will air at?

MS wanna nail Sony and Ninetendo this time. They are hurrying up the Xbox2. They might end up messing it up.

 

[devilhead_satish]

MTV is the right place for launching the XBox 2. And Nemesis if you have a TV Tuner please do record the show and put it up somewhere,

 

[ctrl_alt_del]

Thats exactly what I was going to ask Nemesis to do. If possible, do record it Nem.

 

[Sourabh]

He doesnt have a tv-tuner

if it is aired in India then ill record it with my tv-tuner lolz..

 

[tarey_g]

[Nemesis]

Soura's right, I don't have a TV tuner. Doesn't make sense to buy one anyway
But if I do manage to watch, I will post whatever details I can manage

 

[ctrl_alt_del]

That wont be much of a worry though 'coz withing minutes of the telecast one can be sure that there will be millions of videos posted all around on the internet.

And here is something that I found out on Gamespot Rumor Control last night. Supposedly, the X-Box 2 controllers pics have been leaked somehow. The pics are hazy. Here is a link :
*forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=382461

If this isin't a hoax, then the Next Box is shipping with wireless controllers. Atleast Rumor Control thought that it isin't a hoax.

And here is another link as to why the NexTBox/Xenon/X-Box 360 might just end up being called X-Box 360...

Official Xbox 360 Image Leaked?

Source: Betanews

Microsoft's second generation Xbox has been the subject of much speculation over the last few months, as the videogame console nears its mid-May unveiling. But Microsoft has successfully kept the new Xbox all but a mystery - until now. A seemingly official picture of the "Xbox 360" has made its way onto the Web.

The image initially surfaced on the SomethingAwful Forums late Friday, where it quickly gained attention as the first legitimate picture of Microsoft's next-generation Xbox. Sources have vouched for its authenticity, however enthusiastic gamers won't receive official confirmation from Microsoft until May 12, when the new Xbox debuts on MTV.

Heh Heh...I can already see the Microsoft Officials mouthing the line, "Microsoft doesn't comment on speculations and rumors."!

Gosh, how many times have I read this line after each and every leaked info about X-Box 2. And worse, even Sony has started saying the same lines! Arrrghhhhh!

 

[Nemesis]

Keep those images coming!!!! We'll never know for sure if any of them is real until May 12, 9:30pm EST lol. And like cody said, MS are never acknowledge anything before the launch date. But what are Sony doing??? They cancelled a launch of the PS3 which was supposed to be around end March and never gave any reasons for it. MS gaining ground it seems. And still absolutely no info on the Revolution. Suspense is killing me

E3 should answer all questions
