Oh my, this is the best news I’ve heard all day. Can the 360 get any better? Oh yeah …

From Xbox360.ign.com:

With Microsoft, the rumors are always true. The next iteration in Bungie Studios’ Halo series will appear at E3 2006 in video form at its Tuesday, May 9 news conference, IGN learned today from independent sources who recently spoke with Microsoft executives.

The video is allegedly two minutes long, although its contents weren’t divulged. We’re guessing a wild breathtaking battle on Earth. Knowing Microsoft, the publisher will want to show all real, in-game engine footage to counter Sony’s fantastical CG videos from E3 2005. When Microsoft was contacted, the company issued its standard reply, “We don’t comment on speculation and rumors.”
