E3 2009 – MS presser brought forward for “very special” announcement

Microsoft has apparently warned journalists that its press conference today will start five minutes earlier thanks to the inclusion of a “very special” announcement.
We quite literally do not know what this could be.
The conference was scheduled to start at 10.30am PST (6.30pm BST) today, but will now begin at 10.25am.
Xbox 5 confirmed. More on Joystiq.

So special that they’re going to give it five whole minutes.

Steve Ballmer not only jumping around, he’s also singing!

Right, they are usually 20-30 minutes late. So this will mean sweet fuck all in the end.
How I wish MS PR tactics would exit stage left. Done nothing but harm.

They could just overrun by 5 minutes like everbody else would. But then I suppose that wouldn’t involve a fricking press release.

This guy from Xbox Germany reckons there’s so much stuff to announce, it won’t all fit into the show.
They’ve gone into hype overdrive! Something’s got to give!

Ninty usually announce a lot of stuff too and it’s mostly crap; quantity isn’t everything you see.
But in all seriousness, I bet Sony are nervous. Some moron (or traitor) blew one of their big reveals. What do they have left? Will it be enough?
