XBox 360 launch on MTV tonight

[Mr. Pockets]

Microsoft has a 30-minute show, hosted by Elijah Wood (weird), to launch the XBox 360 on MTV tonight. I know, I hate MTV, too. But they're going to show some games (which are currently under development) for the first time, and the project I'm on right now is one of them. I wish I could tell you the title, or anything about it, but I can't. Sorry. To be honest, I don't even know what level of coverage we're going to get. We sent them some footage of the gameplay, but we don't know how or when it'll be used.

The show will be on at 9:30EST tonight.

Damn NDA's.

I've heard the new Xbox doesn't have a hard drive. Can you verify this?

I was checking into this a little bit ago, and as I remember the first version to come out won't have a harddrive. However, there will be a version w/hd, but it won't be released until a later date. I think there was another version with even more features, and it would be released after the hd version. I need a new Xbox, mine has problems reading disks . Hopefully they fixed that on the new one.

Same here...too much time and money invested in Sony to switch to a company that can't even design computer software (their specialty) right.

I'm just fine with my PS and 'Cube. Besides, the X-Box has never really done anything for me, mainly because the few games I can't get for the PS2 or 'Cube just don't interest me.

I was like that too, but I'm starting to not like Sony in general as much. First my 19" Trinitron display died (3yrs old), then my cordless phone (2yrs), and now my 32" Trinitron TV (2yrs) and my surround shelf system (3yrs) are both just starting to act really flakey. After all this, my new home theater will be Panasonic.

But, on the other hand, my PS2 has run like a champ from day one. It's a first generation unit, got it about 2mos after the were released, and it's been my primary game system and only DVD player since.

I'm not sure what exactly has been said in official Microsoft press releases, but I recommend that you look for those. Since I don't know those releases well, I might say something I shouldn't.

I wonder whats going on with Nintendo? Btw, I'm watching it right now, I'll post about it more once its finished I guess.

I don't bother with the absolute newest consoles when they first come out. I just bought a used PS2 and will be buying an XBOX 1 in the next couple weeks. The last console I bought was a new Dreamcast for $70 just before they disappeared.

I don't usually, either. As a matter of fact, I don't think I ever have. I didn't get an XBox until they shipped with the smaller controller and two games.

The only reason I'll buy an XBox 360 is the new Live features. Live has, for me, turned into that 'killer app' that sells the console. But that's just me. I realize that Live users still make up a small portion of gamers - even those with XBoxes.
