Microsoft announced today that gamers will have direct access to this year's super Xbox event, X06, and the Japanese super games event, The Tokyo Game Show. Xbox Live will allow gamers to witness Microsoft's plans at these events by giving them access to early game information, demos, trailers and news from the show floors. Starting Wednesday, September 20, through Friday, September 29, connected gamers can access the best content from the Tokyo Game Show in Japan and X06 in Barcelona, Spain, including highlights from both press briefings, daily updates and behind the scenes videos from the show floors as well as playable game demos and videos in high definition.

In total, more than 100 pieces of new downloadable content will be available to gamers during the nine day period.
