Don' t post stuff that' s obvious like " Sony will show another MGS4 video" because that' s not a prediction, it' s a given.

Before i get to what i think could be announced at this years E3 i want to bring to light the rumoured 360 price cuts. It' s obviously just a rumour because it' s way too early to be talking about cutting the price of the console just yet. However, there are claims that Microsoft will cut the price of the premium pack by $100 and the core pack by $80, AND cut game prices by $10, ...all in October, 1 month before Sony launch PS3.

It would make sense, and since Gears of War should hit around that time it could have an effect on Sony' s sales if PS3 is as expensive as some think.

It' s also rumoured that the next GTA will be exclusive to 360 for an unspecified time and THAT too will launch to co-incide with the PS3 launch.

But like i said, they' re obviously just rumours.



On to what i see being announced at E3...

I' ll start with Microsoft and do the others later...

Microsoft will announce that Xbox Live online play will be made free. No monthly fee' s, with the only cost being to download things from Marketplace (trailers & demos will be kept free)

A bigger HDD will be announced, probably 80 - 100Gb to outdo Sony' s 60Gb.

Halo 3 will be officially announced and shown in video form, as will Forza 2, Fable 2 and Crimson Skies 2.
