Following the surprise departure of Peter Moore from Microsoft, the shocks continue to come thick and fast as Aaron Greenberg, group product manager for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live, reveals the company is scrapping its European showcase X07.

Speaking on Squad XP's podcast, Greenberg says: "There is not a real X07 this year but I think that we will figure out some way to talk about 2008 some time at a different event or a different type of programme."

The X0 events have been running since 2001 when Microsoft officially introduced the Xbox to European journalists and retailers. Since then, the large-scale event has been used to make key announcements (like last year's Halo/Peter Jackson deal), unveil upcoming AAA titles (Halo Wars) and also show off new hardware.

Microsoft were unavailable to comment on the future of the event at the time of writing.

Oh damn, that sucks.. So when are they going to talk about all their '08 games?

Wow, MS seems like they're falling apart. Guess the 360 repair thing is really slowing them down.

**Mister Chief** · 07-18-2007, 11:13 AM

I don't see what that has to do with anything.

**Adiuvo** · 07-18-2007, 11:21 AM

Right after they announced it one of their head people leave and then no XO7.

I guess it could be a coincidence though.

**Mister Chief** · 07-18-2007, 11:22 AM

Considering Peter Moore signed a contract with EA months ago...

It is.

**Sinfulfate** · 07-18-2007, 12:02 PM

This sucks but all I really care about for 2008 games is a Fable 2 release date.

What about Alan Wake, Resident Evil 5, Halo Wars, Banjo Kazooie and all the others?

**user friendly** · 07-18-2007, 12:40 PM

Leipzig Games Convention - August 23.

M.S. will be there.

**Macca** · 07-18-2007, 01:01 PM

Theres also Tokyo Games Show, and E for All.

**user friendly** · 07-18-2007, 01:03 PM

TGS is going to be better than E307, it's always a good show.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 07-18-2007, 01:15 PM

E3 sucked this year. Badly.

Hopefully TGS is better.

Don't know what Ala Wake(tho I think I heard of it before). I hate Resident Evil. Halo Wars and Banjo Kazooie look nice but I don't need any more info for those games I'll just wait till they are released.

The only 360 games Im really looking forward to is Two worlds, Mass Effect(cant wait for this), and Fable 2(did you see the combat demo? The one button combat system looks sweet). I dont have much interest in games with undisclosed 2008 release dates(besides fable 2. I loved Fable 1). So far into the future why care about them now?

**Mister Chief** · 07-19-2007, 09:32 AM

An MS exec announced there will be a 360 UK event this year.
