Just got it in the mail today.

The disc:

An awesome set of videos this month.

A behind the scenes of Ghost Recon 2 with some great looking game footage

Trailers for:
Conker(a hilarious Terminator spoof)
Doom 3
Fable
Forza Motorsport
Jade Empire
Kameo
MechAssault 2
Republic Commando
Unreal Championship 2

Demos:
NBA Ballers

Sudeki

I've only tried Sudeki so far. In the demo, you get to sample combat, puzzle solving and a boss fight. Very pretty and I really like the combat(the special attacks are very cool looking).

Rumors

Sony may skip next E3.

Independent developers who have Xbox 2 development kits confirm the hardware specs that have been floating around are true.

GTA:San Andreas may come to Xbox sooner than expected(note:this item is based on that one analyst' specualtion from awhile back).

Previews

what??

It's part of that rumor about some game companies thinking that exhibiting at E3 is too expensive, and that they don't get a good return on their money in terms of promoting their games. Activision and EA are mentioned as well.
 
"Independent developers who have Xbox 2 development kits confirm the hardware specs that have been floating around are true."

So the rumor is that the specs are true...

And what exactly does that have to do with a RUMOR that some big videogame companies think that exhibiting at E3 is a big pain in the ass and they're not getting their money's worth in doing so?

Wasn't that the demo at last year's E3?
Sony may skip next E3.
But every company says this at every E3! Someone needs to step up and do it first.

Not bitter, just unsweetened
Actually, even Sony was rumored to miss out on E3 2004 as well, as they were "possibly" preparing their own exhibition or something. C'mon guys you must remember that!
