[vontoxic]

If you would like to see the Xbox keynote live from Gamescom go HERE (http://apps.facebook.com/gamescomstream/?_fb_fromhash=8db8efa63e8d46b2268c0988d2898794). I think Bungie is said to reveal something special. Anyway, Live stream starts a 1pm EST.

Also that link has a small video window and I don think you can fullscreen it. If you can find a better stream, post it.

EDIT: better stream HERE (http://www.xbox.com/en-gb/gamescom2010).

- new playlist will be rotated every month
- playing legendary campaign has a payoff for you

[coreyisdaffy]

The Arena stats will be rotated every month, I didn't think it was a playlist rotation. :-/ I thought they just said based on play they'd be adding certain things and taking away certai things, and that'd be only in the Arena portion.

[vontoxic]

Arena stats will be reset every month. They are going to rotate user created maps into playlist though.

[Sam is Psycho]

missed the stream but thanks for the recap bro.

[heuer89]

Thanks for the recap! Fable 3 looks awesome and Reach just keeps getting better and better!

[Sam is Psycho]

high quality version of the first cutscene/mission in halo reach from bungie's gamecom panels. probably spoilers, but nothing we haven't really seen yet. pretty much an extended version of the first VGA trailer along with about the first 3 minutes of the first mission.

for possible spoilers i won't embed the videos. :)

Nice find Sam is Psycho. Microsoft's stream was kind of grainy and they kept panning into the crowd.
