All right, fellow Europeans! Time to stay up and watch this live and forget about school, kiddies (J/K!)

But seriously... I think someone will have a video up on Youtube later or somewhere.

 

[bakhalishta]

All I get is a coming soon screen... I assume that's just because the event hasn't started yet.

Finally! Lets hope for an October release, mid November at the latest! I can't wait!

Hopefully we won't be losing sleep over another Joystiq-styled hypefest.

J/k, Joystiq is still awesome, even if they did fire that one dude for hype.
