NICKjnp: When can we expect Fable 2 to be released and will there be a demo or video via marketplace during E3 or any time soon for that matter?
xboxdotcomE3: Lionhead hasn’t announced a release date for Fable 2, but we here at Xbox.com are just as anxious as you are to play it! We figure it’s safe to assume it ain’t gonna be out this holiday or they would’ve said so.
th3whol3truth: I’ve seen a picture of 4 Xbox consoles at E3. Does this mean a new console?
xboxdotcomE3: Why, yes. That picture was sorta kinda not supposed to get out before the briefing, but whatever. Here’s the skinny on the Halo 3 console: it’ll be available in September. It’s got an HDMI port and comes with an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, 20GB Hard Drive, Headset, Play & Charge Kit, and exclusive Halo 3 Gamer Pics and Theme. And it is obviously is tricked out with Halo goodness.

xboxdotcomE3: Did you check out our Press Briefing on Tuesday night? Jade and Patrice from Ubisoft showed a really great demo of Altair fighting his way out of an ambush (showcasing the cool technique you can use for timing counter-attacks) and then chasing down Talal the slave-trader, which really showcased the free run feature that everyone’s stoked about.
Son Of LA: Peter Moore tattoo. We want to know if he got one.
