Major Nelson was able to find some WiFi and is crouched backstage of X06. He promises to attempt a liveblog of the event, so I'll be following his comments and posting them here with my own thought(less)ful prose. Keep it here for live stuff.

From the Major:

Chris Lewis has just taken the stage, and is talking about past X0 events.

Banjo and Kazooie coming to Xbox 360.

Xbox 360 is driving overall console sales in Europe.

As of today, based on third-party data Xbox sales represent nearly 60% of home console revenue in Europe - a five-fold increase over last year.

We launched the original Xbox in 16 European markets. Today we're bringing even more gamers in the region into the Xbox community, including South Africa, where Xbox makes its debut this weekend, to Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland, where Xbox 360 will be available in time for Christmas.

Doom was just confirmed for Live Arcade.

Oh, oh, it looks like the embargo just exploded. Someone leaked the pre-presser press release onto several sites. I'll be putting our stuff up now.
