    Xbox...Elijah Wood...MTV...
    It's the three things I despise the most.

    Seriously, what demographic is Microsoft trying to reach? The people who know the least about good gaming? Oh, wait, I think I figured it out...

      If they wanted to do that they would have introduced it on G4.

      It is a bit odd that a station for music is showing a debut for a video game console, while a video game station isn't,

      MTV has music now?!

    To badly quote Sting and Dire Straits: "I want my, I want my, I want my BSOD!"

    Seems like they should have unveiled it instead on CNN on "Anderson Cooper 360". It fits with the name better than unveiling it on the "48 Hour Road Rules Marathon" channel.

    We used to call it the Malcolm X-box, spiritual successor to the IHaveADreamcast.

    Actually, that's part of teh AWESOME functionality of the XBOX 360. The new graphics capabilities will allow for a fully rendered screen of death. Sources close to Microsoft claim to have seen the new death screen with a 3-D rendering of the Jolly Roger, but Microsoft claims that those machines have pirated software.

    sounds great! i can just imagine a beautiful 3d rendering with "ERROR OUT OF MEMORY!!!" complete with 1024x1024 texturemapping, of course with bumpmapping and specular highlights and realistic reflections and caustics.
