E3 Media & Business Summit 08
No matter how scaled down it has become and no matter how the general public has been cast out, the E3 Media & Business Summit is still one of the biggest events of the year. It is a huge spectacle for both fans and press alike even without the booth babes. I suppose I should be especially partial to this year’s show considering that Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, is scheduled to make the E3 keynote address. However, the Rickster isn’t on my Christmas list.
I’m curious to know what everyone is expecting. I’ve already predicted a price cut and the introduction of a new Xbox 360 60GB Sku. Yes, I’m an analyst like that as it appears to be true. In your face Pachter! I’m excited about the potential showing of Alan Wake. It’s been a long time since any update on the game so whatever they show, I’m ready for it.
Are you falling for the motion controller rumors from Microsoft? I’m not sure if we should expect any type of bombshell announcements as far as software or accessories. What do you think Sony and Nintendo will be up to? We’ll all find out next week beginning with Microsoft’s E3 briefing on Monday, July 14. I wish I could’ve attended but instead I’ll be at home watching the interwebs like the rest of we normal folk.
I’ll be sure to fire off any interesting news that comes out next week of course. I know my friends at Xbox are already gearing up the coverage for the Marketplace so get ready. So, what are you guys and girls expecting or wanting?

Love to see Alan Wake aswell.
And Resident Evil 5.
Deacon, do you know if they will bring the E3 at BIH? in HD again?

i’ve heard that Ubisoft is planning on showing it so i’d say yep.

Alan Wake! and Halo 4
and whatever other “new” news they can share. i already know about Gears of War 2, Viva 2, Banjo etc. no need to even show those in my opinion.

lol everything you know Deac, you got from me = Remember that!
I expect a waggle controller, KI3, Kameo 2, Alan Wake, More Halo than just Wars, A different XBL Marketplace interface, Some new first party IPs, A 360 Crimson Skies/MechAssault, A “HOME” version for XBL, A much more reliable 360 with the new “Jasper” chipset for $50 less than the PRO is selling now… Anything less will be a disappointment.

I’d like to see RE 5 and Ghostbusters. I was a fan of the films and the cartoon (The Real Ghostbusters). Hopefully there will be a few suprises that we don’t know about.
