If you haven't read about it yet here is the site and an article:
www.origenXbox360.com

It looks like another Ilovebees.com. I wonder what the announcement will be. Let the speculation begin. :bouncy:

It would sound like a tie-in to the new storyline on Stargate SG-1, although the Xbox game is now in limbo. The Stargate universe would be a great setting for an MMORPG.

The site changed again today. That crazy rabbit moved again and there's more fruit. Seems like there will eventually be fruit on the bottom left branch now too.

It's the premium version of the 360 MS announced yesterday. Has a blueray/HDDVD drive, built in wifi and bluetooth.

I thought that was just the xbox 360 Premium Edition. Are they the same thing or different?

Origen Xbox 360 Counting Down to the Announcement of Halo 3?
One single word suggests so. Guess what the name is of the city in which John Spartan-117, aka Master Chief, grew up?

I heard it *might* be one of two things. Halo 3, or Microsoft will have a few places around the US (maybe a small tour) where people can play the 360 and a feq games before launch.
I don't believe it, just passing along what I've heard. Sorry if any of it is old news.

If you change your clock to the "london" time zone, the countdown has finished and you can click on a country's flag (no US flag) on the tree, but my 56k is getting hammered so I can't really tell you all what's going on. If you check out the discussion over on teamxbox, they are saying that it is some type of contest for europeans.

You know whats funny, I never saw most of the changes I saw described on the teamxbox page, like the hidden greek words in the branches, or certain changes with the rabbits...maybe Im special, but mine ends in about an hour...Ill report in then
What are the questions exactly?
