Sadly, travel arrangements did not work out so I won’t be reporting from E3; I can only serve as a commentator and gather the Xbox Live-relevant news. Before we get into the main event however, here’s this week’s Marketplace content.

Xbox Live Arcade release - CellFactor: Psychokinetic Wars: (800 Points) A first person shooter set in World War 2 a sci-fi world where you can mix guns with psychic powers. It apparently supports two player co-op, and up to twelve players in other modes. The demo should be out on Wednesday, and I plan to check it out. Xbox Live Deal of the Weak: Forza Motorsport 2’s March Car Pack is 240 points this week, instead of 400. A few bucks off for DLC for a two year old game? Really? That’s what we’re going with for the week of E3, Microsoft? Okay, but I don’t think you’ll get too many buyers on that one.

Fortunately, their other E3 news for Xbox Live was more encouraging.
