They're announcing their announcements, now? (I wonder if the announcement will suffer delays and be pushed back... perhaps someone will leak a beta version of the announcement, then all the gaming sites will preview it, then we'll get the demo announcement, and eventually the 'release' version of the announcement will come out (followed by a patch to fix up grammatical errors and spelling mistakes...))
It's not as if the news wouldn't have spread anyhow after the actual announcement... It seems kinda poor form to waste space on news sites with pointless meta-information like this.
