"Playable Xbox 360 games may leave little time for attendees to tour canals, red-light district at Microsoft's annual promotional event.

Rumor Control pegged it right earlier this week: X05 in Amsterdam? Not bogus. After abandoning the annual European Xbox showcase last year in favor of country-specific events, Microsoft is bringing the fifth X0 back to the old world. The company announced that X05 will be held in the quaint capital of the Netherlands this October 4-5.

Following in the steps of Cannes, Seville, and Juan-le-Pins, Amsterdam will host 2005's invite-only promotional event. The big draw this year will of course be the Xbox 360, and Microsoft promises that several unspecified games for the company's next generation console will be on playable display.

Despite Microsoft's efforts at secrecy, the location for the show was leaked earlier this week by a noting industry analyst, who also made several estimations concerning the Xbox 360's price ($299) and release date (November). For more, see our weekly Rumor Control column."
