Get ready for several big Xbox 360 announcements later today when Microsoft kicks off its yearly X event.
We expected to see more from Halo 3, Forza 2, Gears of War, and maybe even the first look at PGR4? And possibly the announcement of several new AAA titles exclusively for Xbox 360.
It all starts today 6pm BST so watch this space – Microsoft has promised X06 to be huge for Xbox 360 gamers!

Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Microsoft has slashed the prices of games across the Xbox 360 store in preparation for its July 29th closure.
The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8
Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.
I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price
The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.
The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.
Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.
Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.
MS had a very good showing at TGS, even more impressive is the fact that it was in Sony's backyard. But now the spotlight will clearly be on the 360 during X06, so any "secrets" MS kept during the TGS will be revealed. Hopefully the news coming out lives up to the hype, cuz their are some pretty juicy rumours flying around. So now we can just wait and see, but i'm pretty sure 360 owners will not be dissapointed.
yeah I am excited to see more on all the games espescially gears of war...and some more playable demos would be fantastic
What time 6PM BST equates to in Eastern Standard Time?
I think it means 2 PM eastern time.
