Nintendo's big pimpin' in their black Escalade.
Walking to lunch today, we had a couple surprises. It seems Microsoft has decided to put out an awesome statue for Halo: Reach in the E3 main hallway that a group of artists were finishing on the spot.
Today we went back and captured the other four Epic Mickey Banners. What do they contain?
Well, I'm going to say I think I made a little mistake yesterday when I reviewed half of the banners in the E3 hallway yesterday. Why? Because today, I snapped this pic:
Rob breaks down the details of the announced ESPN service for the Xbox 360, and gives us his opinion and outlook on the announcement.
E3 has begun and Microsoft has announced its new partnership with ESPN. ESPN will now have their own channel on the Xbox 360. SportsCenter's Josh Elliott and Trey Wingo hit the stage to announce the ESPN video service for Xbox Live.

Epic Mickey's concept artwork has lead to quite a bit of speculation. What's my take?
There's one particular picture I'd like to make the heart of my idea, one taken from the banner artwork of Epic Mickey at E3. Take a look for yourself, and you'll see why:
...For now.
PixlBit's reader, Zap, has fed the Mailbag, saving me a fortune in zebra import tariffs and fees. Since he sent such a robust and fulfilling message, we've decided we'd go ahead and feature it in it's own Pre-E3 Mailbag! Hooray Zap!
The staff sounds off on their hopes and expectations for the show.
With E3 starting this week, a few staff members have decided to offer up their predictions before they head on the plane to California and start the craziest week in game journalism.
The much-improved sequel to Banjo-Kazooie remains one of the best adventure games around.
This game was a late addition to my collection, I ordered it from eBay a couple of years ago. When I played it, I wondered how I had let this true gem of a platformer elude me for so long. Despite the advancements of modern gaming, I was still impressed by the huge, expansion, and intricate worlds that Rare managed to create on Nintendo 64 hardware.
The mailbag plans to take a break from feeding on zebras this week, just for you!
So, have something to say to anyone at PixlBit about E3? Requests? Predictions? Hopes? Dreams? Nightmares? If you do, know the mailbag loves to eat that kind of thing up, and perhaps, if you send it those messages and letters, I'll save a few bucks on zebra-traps.
Join Nick, Chessa, Jason H, Jason R, and Chris M for our third PlayBit, this time, beginning at 2:00 pm EST
As we all know, E3 is right around the corner. Fortunately, most of the PixlBit staff will be attending the show, and even better, they will all be leaving from the same airport!
