Microsoft Press Conference

My brethren at PlayFeed are live-blogging the Microsoft press conference, which has a tough act to follow.

Focus appears to be on Live, and rightly so. Many old-school games for Xbox Live Arcade, and then WHAM ... Lumines Live, complete with licensed music. Peter Moore just kicked Kaz Hirai in the nuts.

Fable 2, Xbox Live Vision Camera, Forza 2 ... and I've heard that Halo 3 shirts were spotted outside the conference.

More to come ... check out Playfeed for more!

Update: Whoops, there's the big guns. HD DVD add-on this Holiday. Grand Theft Auto IV, October 2007 ... and an exclusive deal to release episodic content on Xbox Live. Shadowrun confirmed for PC and Xbox 360. MSN Messenger integration into Xbox Live.

Live Anywhere, built into Windows Vista. Start a game on Xbox 360, continue it on your phone. Shadowrun is shown as a game capable of this ... how appropriate.
