As well as news of securing FIFA and PES for a year, Microsoft's Leipzig conference brought with it a bit of release date clarity and a bit of release date confusion - with the HD-DVD drive now listed as "autumn" (or "fall" in American) and Forza Motorsport 2 swerving perillously close to 2007 with its new "this winter".
Winter obviously spans the two years, but it's the first time Microsoft's used the description, having previously referenced the "holiday season" e.g. Christmas. Slip of the tongue? We're badgering them about it right now.
In other software news, the company said it had three more board games in store for Xbox Live Arcade - Carcassarone, Alhambra and Settlers of Catan - although we somehow managed to keep our seats when we heard.
