Given that all the flags are European I don't think US citizens can enter. Though you guys might just see a different site?

Welp, that blows for all of us here in the States. I hope they do something for us as well (more than two slots @ the event for the whole Country, that is).

They cannot. I walked through the entry process...eventually you are asked for your country of residence. Only European countries are listed.

Ah well.

I'm quite stunned that they've done something that's just for Europe, everything else has always been US-centric.

I'm sorry, the correct answer was Hippopotamus.

That is one very trippy site. I'll have to dig around a little more tomorrow while I'm at work. Rolling Eyes

Too bad those outside Europe don't get any Origen lovin' but at least the wait ended with a well designed site.

just chill

The US very likely isn't listed due to the fact it isnt noon on Sept 27th anywhere yet...not for another couple hours or so.

I mean...microsoft knows more about marketing than to totally leave out their home country. All i know is i'm excited bout the site.

By the way...the ring of light on the xbox doesnt show number of players...the ring of light on the CONTROLLER does. You're outta the running...sry!

Well that's . . . . disappointing.


While the trippy rabbits were fun, this so far isn't leading up to the hype we all put into it.

is it just me or in the video or "what is origen" did i see hints of "subliminal" marketing. i noticed quick (literally super quick) flashes of images other than the beach and partying. is there anyone who can extract this video and slow it down?

I don't know if everyone was seeing something different (I know I at least got different questions...the hard one which was "Does the Xbox turn on by pressing a button on the controler Razz) but on the screen the rabbit just had this messed up language behind him it looked like...anyone else been getting this? And yes...I to am disappointed, I'm hopeful that we'll get a shot at it...but the clock was set to our internal clock on our computers, so this could just be a Europe thing...but here's hoping!
