  • HsitH

    Listening now, thx Major

  • xMAx Sadistik

    Great show so far, Major! I’m super stoked for the press briefing in the morning!

  • Monster Warfare

    Can’t wait to listen! Hope it is a good one like always.

  • Chiron7936

    Stellar show, as usual. All I have to say is… I want a Zune HD. Bad. As in, I’m considering arranging for my iPod to have an “accident” so I have an excuse to purchase one. :D

  • a peeking duck

    It’s not EYE-RACK, Major.

  • Vasilii Zaytsev

    When does the conference end?

  • a peeking duck

    June 4

  • Vasilii Zaytsev

    I meant Microsoft’s that starts at 10:30 PST… and yeah, it’s not “eye-rack”, it’s “Ih-rack” or “Ih-rock”.

    P.S. Fix the guide

  • MEXICAN GRUNT

    wow, i can’t wait for that Zume. There was no after show…:(

  • a peeking duck

    It’s at least an hour long, I figure.

  • mastrbiggy

    What’s the name of the song in the opening?

  • technofranki

    I will listen to this before the press event. Looking forward to all the E3 covarage on the Net.

  • CARNAGE RULES

    @Vasilii Zaytsev

    Whats wrong with your guide?

    …and remember everyone, don’t be a Krieager because Krieager’s are dum.

  • a peeking duck

    CARNAGE RULES: sweat.

  • JEFFROMAN654

    im thinking we are getting news on the next xbox tomorrow, or a blu-ray announcement. any thoughts?

  • a peeking duck

    JEFFROMAN654: lol

  • batkinson001

    shame i have to work during the press conference… looking forward to downloading it tomorrow night…

    also to add: from http://www.zuneboards.com/?page=2&p=vB42910

    Enough this US only bull—- already! the rest of the planet wants the zune hd. if you want to overthrow apple release it worldwide… Also finish the canadian zune launch from 2007/2008 and give us the zune pass and marketplace…

  • HFC

    Can’t download show…..server issue. What gives?

  • HFC

    Yeah. Zune HD comment. I have a Zune and live in Australia. I like my Zune but the lessons learned from the original Zune project need applied to Zune HD. That is to make this as universally available as possible. I like the idea of using the virtualised currency across XBL and Zune marketplace and the idea of integrated profiles. Roll Zune out as far and wide as you can and horizontally integrate the Zune marketplace / XB Live systems so that it’s seamless. This would further legitimise MSFT points as a valid currency. We want Zune HD !

  • Anonymous

    I can’t download from iTunes or from here!!! Fix it Major!

  • Rockwell7

    it start 5 min earlier now 6.25pm – 8pm uk time

  • IroncladMerc

    The podcast isn’t working: it times out in iTunes, I get an internal server error when I try to download the mp3, and the player on the page doesn’t work either, I click play and nothing happens.

  • oO MG81 Oo

    No mention of the laggy/broken NXE?.

  • Bogie 19th

    What laggy/broken NXE? Maybe your Xbox is broke? Ours works great.

  • Turtle502

    did sweet become sweat? and if it did, ewwww.

  • oO MG81 Oo

    @Bogie 19th
    Yours might be fine but mine and a LOT of other people are experiencing incredibly slow and laggy NXE’s. Marketplace isn’t worth the hassle of browsing anymore and don’t dare think of hitting the guide button while playing an online shooter!. And no my 360 is fine, it’s Microsoft’s dodgy software/Live servers/constant DLC license checks that seem to be the problem.

  • GeekdadCanada

    I’m a huge Zune fan. Two important questions.

    Zune Pass for Canada? Any ideas as to when Zunepass will be available in other countries?

    Does the browser have Flash?

  • xxKROSSBONESxx

    Will the Zune HD be available in Canada? If not, I’ll have to go for a little trip down south!
