Well, as exciting as it sounds... I don't think it's what we all think/hope it is. I think it just means that GTA4 will come out and MS will have the bonus of exclusive episodic content that you can download in addition to the release.

You'd think Sony would have mentiond GTA 4 then. It sold a lot of systems for them.

12:25: "Microsoft and Rockstar have entered into an exclusive deal to privide episodic content via Xbox Live Marketplace."
12:26: Grand Theft Auto IV will be updated with regular fresh content, more details later. Crowd is stunned, gasps all around.
12:25: Subject turns to PC gaming, Crytek developer gets on stage to show off "Windows exclusive" Crysis.
12:30: Demo of crysis: Soldier goes into darkened room, comes out to night sky filled with smoke and fire. A HUGE metal walker--think the War of the Worlds tripods on steroids--is laying waste to the landscape. It is surrounded by smaller walkers who attack the human soldiers. Humans hammer away at big walker with rocket launchers. It eventually goes down in flames.
12:31 Moore says Crysis will run on Windows XP and Windows Vista, contrary to some reports.
12:31: Demo footages from games: Crysis, Age of Conan. Slick graphic shows orange tree and tagline "evloved." Moore talks up Vista, says it has "more options for games than ever before."
12:33: Moore talks about more "dual releases like Elder Scrolls IV," and cues up trailer for Shadowrun. Shows a lot of combat with elves and orcs with assault weapons fighting magic-using humans in burnt-out city.
12:36: Release date--next January, "right alongside Windows Vista." Trailer shown for second Vista/360 dual release, Alan Wake. Microsoft publising now, apparently.
12:38: Clip shows sun setting on town, Alan Wake running around darkness. Moore confirms game will be published by Microsoft, exclusively for Windows and Xbox 360. Bill Gates takes stage! He's here to present future of gaming!
12:39: Gates takes stage, talks about how he loves playing Xbox Live Arcade games with his kids. Then he starts talking about big picture things, about how games will be extended to all platforms--PC, mobile, Xbox 360 ... something major seems in the offing.
12:40: Gates says Microsoft's goal is to make "gaming appeal to people of all ages" and expand the market.

12:41: Gates predicts that Xbox 360 will have a 10 million-unit head start on its competitors, then talks up Live--how that buddy list facilitates community. Says that when you include mobile phone users, the potential gamer population is 1 billion.
12:44: Gates announces new platform--"Live Anywhere." Will be part of Windows Vista--will have one user interface, one identity, one friends list, one message center, one marketplace. Same as Xbox Live 360, same interface, embedded in Windows.
12:45: Gates talks up mobile phone gaming, says there's a "lot of opportunity."
12:48: Gates says Live Anywhere will extend to mobile phones, but is vague on specifics. Says that Microsoft is the only company in the world capable of such an undertaking.

12:20pm: After the Viva Pinata demo ends Marketplace talk starts. It provides users different ways to purchase games. The Fight Night demo helped to increase EA's game sales by 5 times. There will be downloadable TV content ready this week including a Gears of War docudrama that starts on Live and finishes on MTV.
The HD DVD player is shown and it is about 1/3 the size of an Xbox 360. It will be ready this holiday season.
On October 16th 2007 Grand Theft Auto 4 will be available on Xbox 360. There was no mention of an exclusive to 360.
the exlusive content is episodic stuff.

Just watched the Halo 3 trailer.. Starts off by showing this baroned wasteland.. then zooms out more, remains of a ship.. then you see some blue holographic chick talking about stuff, then you see a beat up master chief walk torwards you and grabs his gun..
Some planes fly by, then this huge core of the earth type thing opens up and reveals a blue light in the center.. It eventually opens up on a couple levels and shoots out a intense blue beam.. and then the voice says "this is how the world ends" or something like that, then it goes to the Halo 3 logo.. looked great
