Going to Comic Con 2009?

 

Headed to Comic Con this week? If so, Xbox has some great stuff lined up in San Diego. From finding out what’s next in the Halo franchise, to meeting everyone’s favorite Guild member there is something for everyone. Check out the full schedule and make plans to see all the action. Make sure you block off this Saturday from 1-2pm (SDCC Room 6DE) where I’ll be moderating the From Chainsaws to Renegade Spies: 101 Ways to Save the Universe Only on Xbox panel. Joining me onstage for the discussion will be Ubisoft’s Alexandre Parizeau (Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction), Valve’s Chet Faliszek (Left 4 Dead 2), BioWare’s Casey Hudson (Mass Effect 2), Bungie’s Paul Bertone (Halo 3: ODST), and Epic Games’ Cliff Bleszinski (Gears of War 2.) There is a lot going on over the next few days, so if you have the opportunity to attend it promises to be a good time. Don’t worry, I’ll have coverage of the event on Inside Xbox if you can’t make the trip (or your Super Hero costume is at the cleaners.)  Watch my Twitter for the latest updates and I’ll see you there.

  • a peeking duck

    Posting “first” or any such derivative just tells the world you’re a number one idiot. HTH! :)

  • litheon

    Pro-tip: If you post a “FIRST” comment that actually is first we delete it, otherwise we just leave it; so no matter what your “FIRST” comment won’t be first

  • Chiron7936

    That’ll teach you to make stupid posts, Sneeches. And there are a lot of Canadian idiots. Look at hockey! ^.^

    Looking forward to the Comic-Con coverage Major! You’ll do us proud. :D

    @Sneeches:
    ¬(Nationality → intelligence). I’ve met people from both the US and Canada that fall into both categories.

    @Major
    Have fun at Comic Con and get a double double animal-style for this cut off Ohioan.

  • r3dreck

    Anyone know if the Avatar Awardables will be only on new games? Or will they be on old but after you get the achievement? or will be unlocked based on your achievements already?

  • SonicSamZ

    No, but I will be going to Canadian FanExpo August 28th to 31st. :D

  • Perixon

    Major, can you please see to it that Scandinavia gets that Inside Xbox show as well? For some funny reason we keep getting the UK edition.

  • Snake eyes 211

  • MuckRak3r

    why no xbox live rankings posted for the week? i want to see gears2 beat by an arcade game! (battlefield 1943)

  • Les Doodis

    Major – Any chance you’ll be able to record the audio for this panel and post it on the blog? It sounds very interesting but not everyone can make it to comic-con! Pretty please?

  • DesertBear360

    Hopefully Epic Games’ Cliff Bleszinski can explain why Gears of War 2′s ‘All Fronts’ DLC was released accidently on July 17, 2009 for a short time at 800msp and then pulled to be released on July 28, 2009 at 1600msp. If it did happen then Microsoft and Epic Games should release either the ‘All Fronts’ DLC or atleast the ‘Dark Corners’ DLC for 800msp instead of their original marketplace msp price.

  • DesertBear360

    Here is a link to the All Fronts screw up. http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/17/half-price-gears-of-war-2-all-fronts-accidentally-released-pu/

    If they keep it at the regular price then I’ll just wait until the price drops to 800 or less msp or $10 at the stores.

  • K1LLER HORNET

    @ DesertBear360

    It was a screw up by Microsoft – they listed the content both early & whats worse is they listed it for half price.

    Microsoft have already said that they accidentally released it early & those who purchased it early will be able to keep the content without facing any penalties (damn right).
    They have also said that they will be releasing the content as planned on the 28th for the original prices. Dark Corners: 1200MSP All Fronts: 1600MSP

    Waiting for the price to drop is just going to hurt yourself – Microsoft/Epic don’t care if you don’t buy it as a Million others will buy it.

    The content will never go down in price IMO.

  • DesertBear360

    @K1LLER HORNET
    “The content will never go down in price IMO” lol That statement is funny. Then explain the tons of content that has had price drops or even became free in less than a year. They should lower the price for at least one day to be fair to everyone.

  • BURIBLAZING X

    cool stuff major.

  • metallicorphan

    what i wanna know is,why Lucasarts ‘Several Announcements’,turn into one announcement

    LA you disappoint me,yet again

  • AriesDog

    How come we can only stream the Halo Legends trailer on Xbox and not download it? Seems like a waste of bandwidth.

  • K1LLER HORNET

    Tell Cliff Bleszinski to add dedicated servers to Gears 2.

  • metallicorphan

    wait,didn’t Microsoft have some super secret project they were gonna announce…..so has that happened already,and i have missed it or is it being announced on Sunday?

  • ChiefJudy

    I wish I could go there one day, too ;)
