Major Xbox announcement coming tomorrow? [update 2]

Update 2: The announcement has been made. Click here for full details. We hope your weren't expecting too much.

Word on the street (that is, Gamertag Radio) is that a major Xbox announcement is dropping tomorrow, set to coincide with the final round of the Pac-Man World Championship. Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg dropped the hint via an instant message session with GTR's Godfree. What the hell is this announcement about? We have no idea, only Greenberg's cryptic words, "we have a secret unveil for gamers around the world that I think will go down in video game history."

What in the world could it possibly be? Does it have anything to do with Ignition, Microsoft's new music initiative? We've contacted Microsoft to see if we can dig anything up, and we'll let you know as soon as we hear anything.

In the meantime, start speculating! What could it be?

Update 1
: We've learned from Aaron Greenberg that the announcement will take place tomorrow between 12:30 and 1:30 pm Eastern Time. And, before this gets out of hand, we've heard rumblings that this announcement won't be huge, but that it should be relatively cool nonetheless.

Just sayin', it's best to keep our heads

44. It could be that the Xbox 360 is profitable

or maybe it's a download on demand service from Netflix

45. I can only hope it is finally an MGS4 Announcement to put the final nail in the PS3's coffin.

46. If they annouce Live is free I'll implode. Same thing applies if they announce a new version of the 360 Elite that has an HD DVD Drive.

I'd love it if it were MGS4 or Final Fantasy 13 for the 360. That would be fucking hilarious.

51. Pacman is a Namco title, so I wouldn't be surprised if they have secured Tekken 6.

Posted at 6:35PM on Jun 4th 2007 by Ithilis

52. It's probably just a free download of pacman...

Posted at 6:38PM on Jun 4th 2007 by David W.

53. Honestly, considering the timing, I'm pretty positive it's something XBLA related... I am not getting my hopes up, but I hope it's at least as interesting as they claim.

Posted at 6:40PM on Jun 4th 2007 by Tony

54. The announcment is................Players will get 400 ms points for every 50 achievments they have and that members can share songs with 1 another.
