Make room on your Xbox 360 hard drives!

Remember all the content Microsoft shared with us during E3?

Get ready, 'cause that was just a dry run -- we've got nine days of gaming goodies on the way, as Microsoft does the same for the virtually back to back Tokyo Game Show (TGS) and X'06 press event.

Hey, all the love was good during E3, but face it, the content and games are getting better, Microsoft has learned a lot, and we now have queuing and background download.

According to Major Nelson, content'll be available September 20, through Friday, September 29, we'll be able to get highlights from press briefings, daily updates and behind the scenes videos from the show floors (please let it be better than the E3 treatment) "as well as the hottest playable game demos and videos in high definition."

Since I get the majority of the demos I want between Xbox Live and The Official Xbox Magazine, I'm hoping there's some new love to be found over these nine days.

What I really want is a Lost Planet multiplayer demo (hey, the game took Leipzig -- keep the buzz rolling!).

"In total, more than 100 pieces of new downloadable content will be available to
gamers during the nine day period, including a never before announced major
franchise on Xbox Live Arcade."

Hmm ... "a never before announced major franchise on Xbox Live Arcade", huh?

And you gotta get the content fast, because the "majority of this content will only be available until 12:00 a.m. PDT on September 29" -- yikes.

I wish Microsoft had released a bigger hard drive by now. My paltry 20 Gig's not doing so hot, and there's a lot of content I want to keep, that isn't available anymore ...
