They had an ad campaign leading up to the Playstation launch. They had two 'slogans'; keep in mind that the 'E' is red in both of these.Marconelly said:

"You are not ready"... get it? The second one meant "Ready ninth of September", the day of the PS launch.
more important question is does microsoft have any major releases coming out between the 24th and nov. 9th. if the zanzibar demo that oxygen hinted at comes on aug 24th and it is indeed live playable, no ones gonna wanna play anything else. even released as a $5 demo for those without LIVE, it would become the top seller thru november. all speculation but its possible.

When did he do that?

good. another way to sell more xboxes and ethernet cable.
LOL. hey. he was right here and kept ignoring my responses. if you think about it, it COULD happen. the first LIVE beta test WAS the zanzibar level. the dare i say complete demo at e3 WAS ALSO the zanzibar level. 2 people, including oxy mentioned demos dont have to come from finished games BUT e3 demos so its definately possible.
theres media released every 2 weeks from bungie as well as other media all over the place already. why countdown to MORE media? that doesnt seem to make sense to me. "windows 95 released to the unexpecting public" they didnt release win95 media to the public. it was something tangible. not screenshots and commercials.

again i say hmmmmmmmm. he was refering to me talking about the burnout 3 demo thats out but why then mention MS?

That says to me that they give games a rating based on what footage is sent to them and simply double-check it once the game is complete.
Halo was quite obviously going to get an M rating, so I'm not surprised in the least that it already has been deemed an M title.
OMG!!!! my zanbibar theory gets more exciting!!! thanks to mina!

The Potential of Mangrove Conservation in relation to Beekeeping
...Traditionally, beekeeping activity is dominated by men who practice primitive methods of honey harvesting and handling. Traditional beekeeping does not make use of the correct equipment or modern techniques. Instead, honey is harvested by the use of fires or a live torch, which burns the insects to death. The planned project will train women to practice in the modern techniques for beekeeping which will give bees permanent settlement (home) and improve honey production.
In the project area, women have been very keen in conservation initiatives, therefore the beekeeping program will work jointly with conservation of the mangrove ecosystem. If well managed, mangrove trees could supply sufficient pollen grain and nectar for bees. Further, the degraded mangrove areas will be planted as a part of the project program in order to have large areas for hanging beehives in the future. Consequently the promotion of beekeeping project in rural areas will serve as an alternative income source. In addition, the project aims to produce honey and wax for women to sell for more income.
Beekeeping is an activity which can fill the income gap which has been left by the reduced market for products from seaweed farming. The added benefit of the project is that it will also assist in forest management.

Since 1985, both local and international NGOs have increased support to rural women in agriculture, due especially to the formation of WID Units at NGO headquarters and an increase in community based organizations (CBOs). Under the Tanzania Non-Governmental Organization Umbrella (TANGO), many local NGOs are addressing agriculture, livestock and environmental issues, and a growing number are also emphasizing women's empowerment. Grassroots women's groups are also increasing. For example, in Same District Kilimanjaro Region, between 1980 and 1993, 43 women's groups in agriculture and horticulture were formed, 8 in livestock and poultry, 8 in bee-keeping, 4 in fishing and 10 milling groups.

Beeswax is a very important by-product of traditional beekeeping. Tanzania has been one of largest exporters of wax in the world. In 1973, 275 tons were exported. In Handern District, mean yield/traditional hive, is 15 kg honey. Assuming that 1/2 to 2/3 of harvested wax is obtained for export, the number of colonies must be between 800 thousands to a million. Modern hives were used in "Tanga Inte-grated Rural Development Programme", in north-eastern Tanzania and in Handeni, A beer, "pombe", is prepared from honey. A ratio of 1:15 between wax and honey provides a basis for calculation. Tanzanian-commercial hive and Tanzanian tradi-tional hive are the two recommended blank hives. In order to avoid overcrowding, the carrying capacity of different areas must be investigated[39].

Well they are not going to do a demo because it would be pointless and expensive. What they might do is a open beta for several thousand people. They only have 250 microsoft people testing now and that isnt enought the judge the torrent of people that will be playing then the game is released on NOVEMBER 9th.

Didn't BOE pull almost the exact same story about six months ago before being banned on the old board? Or was that someone else?

These ideas are as plausible as someone running down the side of a building. Seriously.
No no, it was him. Dunno if he got banned, but I remember he was convinced that November 14th would bring about a downloadable Halo 2 demo, or an early Halo 2 launch. All this based off some commercial that was supposedly running off MTV at the time.fenekku-gitsune said:
Trust me, you don't forget this kind of stupidity.
^^^That doesn't discount a demo...because a demo would not be used for testing.
I think it's rather obvious that there won't be an early launch for this game.
On the other hand, it's obvious that this date has some significance.
What I'm deciphering is that there is a possiblity that this date will mark a huge media blowout, or the start of an ad campaign, or the release of a new Xbox Live format (that will support clans and all that jazz).
A demo seems plausable to me...especially if it's a pack in demo that's packed in with another MS game (Fable's release date is Sept. 13...). Maybe I'm not considering some factors...but I don't see any reason why a MP demo can't be released.
The reason why I don't consider the possibility of the demo (while I currently think it's feasable) is because it sounds too good to be true.

Hey guys, remember how the new EGM says that next month's issue will have a "...top-secret, world exclusive cover story!"?
"...in a few weeks, you'll be able to say hello to an awesome new game that everyone will be dying to play..."
Hmm...and so the plot thickens

says the beekeeper. the 1 day til network throttling ends or whatever I'M guessing refers to the end of the beta test in progress right now. some guy that supposedly works at MS tried to shut me up over at TXB which i found very odd. Buddychrist, the last halo 2 thing i'll admit i was wrong on but that was based off of like 1 peice of info. here we have a whole website that million can see with all kinda of coincidence strewn all over it. this is a totally difference ballgame my friend.

Shouldn't a 'new game' be something actually new and never bevore heard of?
Well, maybe they are talking about this Ilovebees web game, but I don't think they would be so confident people will be duying to play it.
