Microsoft's X10 Conference has just started and the word on the street is embargoed assets should start hitting in roughly 20 minutes (it's a closed press event). What exciting things will Microsoft show off? Some Natal software and launch info? Long awaited sequels? An announcement that RE5 is coming to 360?
While we ponder the possibilities, let us also consider the confirmed appearances for X10:
Perfect Dark (XBLA)
Fable 3
Alan Wake demo (Walmart's LE)
Halo Reach live demo
Lost Planet 2
Dead Rising 2
Toy Soldiers
Splinter Cell Conviction
Crackdown 2
L4D2 DLC
Demo of Microsoft's Game Room
Something from Scrapmetal
And more (!)

How can I ride the hype train?
Unfortunately there will be no live video of the main presser, per MajorNelson. I'm sure gaming sites will be posting news as it rolls in, if someone has links to a live blog pass them along and I'll collect 'em in the OP. Otherwise follow MajorNelson's twitter or Mr. Keighley's if you wish.

News
- Keighley states on twitter "Halo Reach multiplayer beta hits on May 3"
- New Alan Wake [vidurl=
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMNdIKIATdg]Trailer (HD)[/vidurl], release date set for May 2010. - 250GB 360 bundles for FFXIII and Splinter Cell Conviction, $399
Perfect Dark info
- 1080p, 60 FPS remake of the original N64 classic. Character models that were originally 300 polygons now boast 3500, while guns have leapt from 150 polygons to nearer 2000.
- Like the original Perfect Dark, Goldeneye's three best maps – Temple, Facility and Complex are included, but this time out there's a special bonus; Goldeneye's weapon set is also being included, meaning that for all intents and purposes the game has finally made it to Microsoft's console.
- 4 players splitscreen vs 4 players splitscreen over live, 4 player splitscreen offline, Counter OP,and Co-Op both online and offline, 8 players online deathmatch.
- "Multiplayer's also been boosted, with all the game's original modes now playable with eight players online. All the split-screen options are also present and correct, available both online and off. It's more than a recipe for some nostalgic shooting – Perfect Dark's multiplayer is still so compelling that we wouldn't be surprised if it managed to oust some of the bigger guns at the top of Xbox LIVE's most played list."
- "Spartan and Duty Calls" Controller options , "It may not be subtle, but Halo and COD fans will know exactly what to do once the game starts."
- Game is out in March for 800 POINTS/10$

...And I'm not going to get a Gears 3 announcement, OR a trailer.
And the Game Room for that matter.
Please don't suck now you two!
Never in a million years.
See how I keep my expectations low?
But seriously, I'd like to see Natal for real now please.
Some Rock Band III news would be great.
If you are going to dream may as well go big. Playing lag freev256 player MAG games the last couple of weeks and then going back to laggy mess that 8 player Gears is, is tough. I so prefer the gameplay of Gears but god that netcode is shit.
Oh yeah, that's more realistic. I wonder if we'll get Natal officially priced. Also I hope the new harddrive isn't $dubai expensive.
Me too! Had so much fun with Fable II, even though the DLC was just kinda "meh."

May 3rd for the beta, just in time for my birthday

edit:
WOO!
Edit: What's Scrap Metal?
Hey look everybody! Awesome, unexpected news!
Also, that is pretty damned clever Capcom. I bet they make a butt-tonne of moolah from that.
Hmm...if I'm parsing this right, 360-exclusive DLC for FFXIII? Unless it's Avatar gear, the heavens will rain fire upon us all as fanboy rage engulfs the Earth.
And an XBLA Block Party? Hell yes, I love when they run big XBLA promo seasons, like Summer of XBLA.
Oooooooooooooooh boy
I hope they do it guerilla-style and show a trailer for Perfect Dark that ends with "Available...NOW"
Never mind, March
May for Alan Wake? Awesome!
Dead Rising: Case Zero sounds neat
Still can't be fussed to care about Fable III or Halo Reach
EDIT: But again, I'm probably thinking just Avatar gear or something. I got that freebie Chocobo chick prop with a giveaway around Christmas. I've no doubt Major Nelson cackled to himself by teasing the DLC exclusivity as vaguely as possible, though.
Uh, I don't think they're bundled together. I think they're just releasing during March for the Block Party event.
You're right, my mind seemed to have just inserted the word bundle in there o_O
PS2
FF X replay
PS3
God of War 1&2 HD
Rachet and Clank Future
MGS 4
Prince of Persia
360
Bayonetta
Fable 3
DS
FF: 4 heroes of light
Your conjecture is correct:
Validation, yaaaaaaaaaay
I still don't know how to feel about Dead Rising 2. I loved the first game, but I can't help but feel like Capcom has virtually no confidence in this one, and we haven't heard about it in such a long time. Will cautiously await news.
My pet Chocobo.
I hate him, FF is poo. But eh, better than my other props, and I don't feel like buying another.
But you can strap chainsaws to a wheelchair!
Yeah?
Well Dark Void had jetpacks
