Probably was obvious but kills the idea that there may have been a pre-E3 event.

Awesome cannot wait. \m/

Hoping for $400 but expecting $500. Just get the unveil of the h/w and price out of the way. Perhaps a surprise new service offering too?

Then spend 1 hour on GAMES GAMES GAMES. Scorpio to just be called Xbox? :)

It's was the use of please, which dropped out of favour on invites years ago because it's now perceived as desperate rather than polite. Hence why it's almost never used. It sounds stupid and probably is but companies avoid "please" on invites like the plague. Look at Apple event invites or previous Microsoft and Sony E3/GamesCon/TGS invites. Even Nintendo's Switch invite - and they must be desperate but not desperate enough to use "please" on their invites and they're super polite Japanese.

For you Canadians, just don't try to process this. :nope: It's hard for us Brits too. :yep2:

Nothing to see here, move along. Or please move along - as your culture prefers. :smile:

More information about Nitero and AMD:

Nitero's big product is a 60GHz wireless chip for VR and AR. The company says it has the potential to enable multi-gigabit transfers with low latency in room-scale VR environments. It also uses beamforming, a technology found on many Wireless-AC routers, to bypass the need for line-of-sight associated with traditional high-frequency mm-wave systems.

I'm a bit unsure about this. The absolute last thing VR needs is more fragmentation through a proprietary wireless connection protocol supported only by AMD. On the flip side, freeing VR headsets from cables would be great - as long as it doesn't mean significantly heavier/hotter headsets because of large batteries. :-|
