Yesterday, news broke that Microsoft's European Xbox event, X0 wasn't going ahead, doubtless angering all those Germans who like to see what games are being banned in their country over the next year. With no X07 to speak of, Microsoft has instead confirmed that a UK-centered event is to take place in blighty "before Christmas."
"X07 is not going ahead," a Microsoft spokesman told Gamesindustry.biz, "We're looking at doing something here in the UK. It will be from a UK point of view, not from a European point of view." Currently, this event has no name and there are no confirmed details. All we know is that it'll hit us before the holidays. I also know that I'm going to totally try and blag my way in.
[Cheers to The Burling]

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Finally, some love for the UK. But... it's just not as good without old Peter Moore. Oh Petey.
If it's within half an hour of me I might stroll down and have a look, though it better have sumo wrestling and freestyle beatboxing like the Playstation Experience had.
What else has the American government lied to me about?
I am guessing it will end up being in either London or Birmingham.
Just as long as they hold it as far away from Milton Keynes as possible. One convention there was enough.
I agree with the Sterling.
