Microsoft looking to "break the bank" at E3 2009

Microsoft is planning to talk about plans beyond 2009's Christmas season at next year's E3, MGS boss Phil Spencer has said, talking in the latest Major Nelson podcast.

"The last two E3s at least, if I use that a proxy for what's coming, we've talked a lot about what its coming in the next five to six months after E3, and we've had some pressure that maybe we want to think a little broader about what we want to say at E3, a little further out in the future," he said.

"I came out of an E3 planning meeting just about an hour ago, and we were looking at some of the plans for the future and things that we might want to tease, and it's very exciting.

"There's a lot of stuff on the docket, and maybe we'll break the bank a little bit and talk about things that are further out, which will hopefully get the community excited."
