The E3 Impression
This comes from a "reliable" source at Microsoft.
"This year, the booth will be eight Halo 2:Homeworlds playable booths. Two teams of four human and four Covenant players, with voice thru LIVE. It will have the longest line ever, fights will break out and the police will have to be called. The media will arrive, two deaths will be reported, Dan Rather will show up to report it, and preorders will go through the roof.

An Assassin game from DOA featuring Christie will be announced. It will feature driving as well.
The Vivendi purchase will be old news by then, and we'll get our first video-only look at Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, a multi-platform mascot game (an online racer featuring Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Blinx and a guest appearance by Sonic), LOTR:TTT (literary works version) and playable Starcraft:Ghost (now Xbox Exclusive).
