Take a gand—...listen to this podcast. There's aren't any reveals, but lots of teases and insight onto the oncoming storm.

Edit: There's a lovely little bit about Bungie and Destiny with the Xbox One.
Summary (it's pretty short, but here's the jist of it):
- Obligatory Halo reference
- You [b]don't[/b] need Gold to play single player online games like Destiny (still need it for competitive)
- There's[b] a lot [/b]coming at E3
- Developers get to choose whether or not to use Kinect, and if they choose not to they can use the GPU boost; they still get one if Kinect is only used a bit. Having Kinect plugged in [b]does not[/b] decrease your GPU (games like Sunset Overdrive and Destiny are using the boost)
- Phil Spencer has played Destiny at Bungie studios and he loves it; "Next-gen game experience"
- Games > executives at E3
- He might wear a special t-shirt

This should get more attention because there's a pretty big information drop in there: While the PS4 requires PS+, the Xbox does not require Xbox Live to play Destiny. You need it for the PvP content Matchmaking of course, but not to access the online aspects of the story. So that's really good.
