    • Witcher 2 sold 400k copies in first week. (Just US sales)
    • Patch 1.2 tomorrow.
    • All previous pre-order DLC free for everyone.
    • New DLC coming soon, includes new haircuts
    • Also all new sales are $10 off via GOG, Steam and Retail ( I assume this is everywhere in the world, but it may just be America)
    • Xbox version cofirmed.
    • Set to look comparable to PC version on lowest settings.
    • End of year release leaves the plenty of time to iron out all porting issues.
    • They are hiring for Head PR guy.
    • GOG have signed a deal with EA. Dungeon Keeper, Wing Commander, Ultima Underworld 1+2 available now, another 20+ by the end of summer.
    • Incorporating more features to the GOG downloader.
     
    That's just a recap for anyone who cares but couldn't watch it. I hope someone didn't already do this.

    Was it Ultima Underworld? I tuned in when they were showing their mock-ad for it. Not sure if that was a later one or not.  
     
    Also, those are great sales for a game like this.

    Goddamnit I missed it. But all good news, huh. I'm glad they're definitely making the 360 version. More people will get to enjoy the magic.

    Ohhh. 400k copies! I thought that was the number of income. And that's just the first week! I'm really happy for them.

    They also said that the 1.2 changelog will be released on the official website right after the conference. Nothing so far.

    @Taklulas: No it isn't. It's obviously no where near as good as highest, but it isn't bad. It will probably still look better than most other 360 games.

    @Taklulas: Looks pretty good to me. Besides, what do you expect from an outdated hardware?

    I seriously doubt that the 360 version will run at 1080p. I think it will look more like that, if not better, which is still looking great, even at those settings.
