Alternate Reality Game for Xbox 2 E3 Unveiling

Posted by Zonk on from the ants-are-the-new-bees dept.

Gamespot has a heads up about a new possible Alternate reality game celebrating the Xbox 2 E3 unveiling. The game site, Our Colony, has a countdown meter running down until just a few days before Microsoft's pre-E3 unveiling of the Xbox 2 console. From the article: "The countdown will ends at 8pm PDT on Thursday, May 12, nearly four days to the hour before Microsoft's pre-E3 presentation on the evening of May 16. What will happen on May 12 remains unclear."

    Sony will keep it vague in their unveiling, emphasizing that nothing's locked down until the Japanese release - so they can play games with theoretical specs and marketing promises, ala PS vs Dreamcast. When the games come out, we'll know what each system can actually do.

      There's a pretty obvious hint in the gamespot article linked from the /. summary. Good luck, though, the site gives an error message literaly every other click. It's pretty clear they are running a MSFT app server, and a poorly tuned one at that (if that's not redundant).
