XBOX PRE-SHOW

E3 stars early on Spike and GT as we kick off our coverage from our new studio at L.A. Live in Los Angeles. Our countdown to the Xbox briefing begins when Xbox's PHIL SPENCER joins Geoff at the Galen Center to announce all the games that will be a part of the Summer of Arcade lineup for Xbox 360. Plus, you don't have to wait until the Xbox briefing for a game announcement: Microsoft reveals a new first-party Xbox One title during the pre-show with the world premiere trailer. Plus, we check in with Kotaku's Stephen Totilo and USA Today's Mike Snider for their thoughts on the Xbox conference. Also, the world premiere of a new trailer for LEGO MARVEL SUPER HEROES.

[Moggy]

Have MS confirmed what they are likely to reveal today? I know they have said this will not be about TV but just games, but are they likely to reveal the release date/price etc?

[Rik]

Please be Banjo or Perfect Dark from Rare

[KK]

Release date possibly, price I'm not expecting.

[Albert]

Getting proper excited now.

Not even pretending to do any work. Have told My team I'm going home at 4:45pm so I can look at computer games.

I genuinely can't see that happening prior to Gamescom. Certainly not a price, and probably not a specific date.

I've got my hopes up for Banjo, PD and KI3

Looking forward to the pre-show though i'm guessing Keighley won't be asking Spencer any difficult or awkward questions. It'll be interesting to see how the audience react during the Microsoft conference. I have a feeling they'll be more muted than usual but once Microsoft show off stuff like Mirrors Edge 2 then they'll start whooping and hollering as usual.

[T9Flake]

I'll watch but they need to do a lot to impress me after the drm kerfuffle (mildly put)

[Venom]

I'm inside The Galen Center for the MS conference without a ticket - but am on the wait list!
Even if there isn't space they have a theatre room that seats 600 with a cinema screen so all good!

I came at 7am locAl time and there were a ton of police and an army of staff! Some TV crew. A ton of fellow geeks. And one guy, I gooseberry fool you not, turned up wearing a track suit all in Xbox green.

Im so tired. got up a 4.15 am and have travelled through some poverty stricken areas... But all really exciting. It's gonna be a good One!

[Moggy]

Yeah that's why I am watching. This thing is going to have to be strawberry floating impressive to make me warm to it after all the DRM bullshit.

[Venom]

Maybe there will be a 360 surprise. But which prediction is more likely?

A miniaturised 360 TV that gives BC to the XBone?

A TV with built in 360?

An Xbox Surface tablet that can play 360 games?

[Wedgie]

All aboard the hype train!

All aboard the love train?

[T9Flake]

Despite their ridiculous comment about being backwards for wanting to play 360 games on the Xbox One, i'm going for something that somehow allows BC on the Xbox One. Maybe some sort of mini device that hooks up to the Xbone or something.
