Games including the music appropriate Rock Band and a playable Gears of War 2 beta demo ... wait a second ... did we just read that correct? A GoW2 playable demo at the Sasquatch! Music Festival?

I don't like Microsoft's taste in music all that much. I don't think anyone could pay me to go to an event sans metal. GoW justifies the need for metal.

Ah, I need to find a way to get to Washington. My iPod/Zune consists of all of these artists. =( And then Gears of War 2 would be the icing on the cake. I love X360F for posting this.

Man what bullshit. First Sasquatch gets the first viewing of the Flaming Lips "Christmas on Mars" and now this? Totally not cool.

More importantly it stated a GoW2 Beta Demo would be there. Epic said there would be no demo with UT III but what if it is a Beta and this is a demo of the Beta that will be on UT III.
