This is what I'm thinking will happen... (none / 0)

at E3:
Microsoft
1) "Newton" (WiiMote copy) will be unveiled.
2) "Lips" (SingStar clone) will be unveiled.
3) New XBL UI will be teased.
4) Tons of Gears 2 content.
5) First & second-party games: Fable 2, Banjo Kazooie, Halo Wars, Left 4 Dead
6) They'll talk about their third-party support from Capcom, EA/Valve, Ubisoft
7) Splinter Cell: Conviction & Alan Wake will be MIA.
Sony
1) Complete "Meh" on anything to do with the PSP.
2) No price cuts planned for PS3. They will simply ignore the 360's $50 price cut or they'll make some kind of arrogant statement that PS3 just offers more because of the integrated BR player, blah, blah, blah...
3) Tons of Resistance 2 content (try to go head to head with Gears 2)
4) They will show Little Big Planet, Killzone 2, EchnoChrome (game looks pointless to me), God of War 3 teaser to end the show.
Nintendo
I could really care less. Possibly the most boring presentation speech of the show.

Gears is MY Star Wars!!! Wooohhh!!!

  have a lot of animosity for Sony Blank. The PS3 is a really great machine, I agree it doesn't have the game library the 360 has that's for sure. Little Big Planet and Killzone 2 look very promising, as will God of War 3, give the black mistress a chance ;)

    about Sony is their arrogance. Utter arrogance. They've lied to their fanbase. Overpromised & underdelivered. They take cheapshots at every opportunity that they can on the 360. Remember the smack talk about the 360's backwards compatibility? Where the hell is the PS3's BC? Don't even mention the 60 GB model because that version doesn't exist anymore. The Emotion Engine was too expensive, so they did the Sony gamers a "service" by removing it altogether. As soon as the new PS3 firmware went live, they start slamming XBL. Wow, they've got some nerve! They completely screw Europe by nixing their machines for the "world-wide" launch by allocating their numbers to Japan & North America. I warned you not to get me started... ;)

      just wanted to see what your points were is all. I agree about the arrogance of Sony, they always have been, in all fairness to Sony, MS has done there share of bashing as well, talking about Sony's online for starters. Both companies are together on the bashing, it's a business. Let's not forget how MS has screwed over almost all of us (Gearheads) with having to get 360's repaired or replaced, multiple times at that, RROD? I prefer to play my games on 360 but I can also enjoy my PS3 as well :)

        he didnt say LBP was pointless, if that was the case I would've jumped down his throat the moment the comment was posted. Oct 8 cant come soon enough, the only shitty thing about its release date is that Gears is only a month afterwards. How Im going to divy up my time between the 2 of them I dont know!
